About This Movie

Chirutha is this raw, gritty drama that dives deep into the struggles of a young man caught in a cycle of poverty and exploitation. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the emotional weight of his choices to sink in. The atmosphere is thick with tension, especially as he makes that fateful decision to become a bonded laborer, all for love—there’s a desperation that permeates each scene. Performances are earnest, capturing the weight of societal pressures, particularly around dowries. What strikes me is how it doesn’t shy away from the harsh realities of life. The practical effects are minimal but impactful, letting the story and characters take center stage. It’s those themes of sacrifice and love that stick with you, making it a noteworthy piece from its time.
