Mumbai, May 16 (NationPress) The release of the highly anticipated film ‘Chidiya’ has been postponed by a week. Originally slated for a theatrical debut on May 23, it will now grace cinemas on May 30. Featuring Vinay Pathak, Amruta Subhash, Svar Kamble, and Ayush Pathak, the creators opted to delay the release to provide the film with the space it merits.
Director Mehran Amrohi explained that the decision to shift the release date was made to allow the film some breathing room, especially since several other films are launching on May 23.
He stated, “‘Chidiya’ is a subtle, emotional narrative that doesn’t shout for attention. With numerous films debuting on May 23, we believed it would be more prudent to offer our modest film a fairer shot a week later. This story has been waiting nearly a decade to be showcased, and it deserves to be discovered, not lost amidst the crowd.”
Chidiya tells the story of Shanu and Bua, two young brothers living in a Mumbai chawl, whose aspiration of playing badminton transforms into a journey filled with joy, resilience, and unexpected friendships. With support from their mother and their eccentric neighborhood, they convert a neglected junkyard into a badminton court, fueled by nothing but hope and imagination.
Producer Faqhrul Husaini of Smiley Films emphasized, “‘Chidiya’ serves as a heartfelt tribute to childhood; its simplicity is its strength. We aimed to ensure that audiences have the opportunity to experience this story on the big screen. With fewer films debuting on May 30, we feel this is the right decision.”
The lyrics have been penned by Mehran Amrohi and Jitendra Joshi, with Mehran Amrohi also writing and directing the film. ‘Chidiya’ is set to release in select cinemas across India on May 30, 2025.
