In case you are looking for a well-crafted and gripping film to watch this weekend on OTT, then we have a fantastic recommendation for you. In case you still haven’t, then we suggest you watch the Tamil language thriller movie ‘Chithha’, which was released in theatres in September end and recently started streaming on the Disney+ Hotstar OTT platform. If you like, and have a stomach for, sensitive, rather unsettling, and hard-hitting films like Sai Pallavi’s ‘Gargi’, then ‘Chithha’ is a must-watch for you.
The basic plot of ‘Chithha’ follows the story of the titular protagonist – a government employee (played by Siddharth), who lives with his eight-year-old niece and her sister-in-law in a small place with rising cases of missing women and sexual assaults.
The man is shown to be emotionally attached with the little girl and treats her like his own daughter. One day, his niece suddenly goes missing and the cops suspect she has been kidnapped by someone. Now, the girl’s uncle must race against time and save his niece from the clutches of a suspected pedophile with the help of his friend, who is an undercover police officer.
‘Chithha’ has been directed by S.U. Arun Kumar, who has previously directed Vijay Sethupathi in ‘Sethupathi’ and ‘Sindhubaadh’. ‘Chithha’ received positive feedback from critics and audiences and is considered to be one of the best Tamil movies of 2023. In case you are not sure about whether to watch ‘Chithha’ on Disney+ Hotstar or not, then you can first watch the film’s trailer to get a better idea about the movie.
