Sonawane, who paints a beautiful canvas throughout the nearly two-hour film, making 'Chhello Show'a stunning coming-of-age saga.Nalin's Samay, played by newcomer Bhavin Rabari, may have few dialogues, but he manages to make the viewer invest in his obsession with cinema. You want to cheer for Samay; you want to know how things will pan out for him, and you are equally fascinated by the way he discovers cinema and falls in love with the medium.'' Read the review here.
