Chikku Bukku

About This Movie

Chikku Bukku is a rather intriguing blend of drama and romance, centered on Arjun and Anu's budding relationship during a train ride. The film captures that sweet, yet anxious feeling of young love, all while threading in some family tension. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but it kind of adds to the overall atmosphere of uncertainty and longing. There’s a nice use of practical effects that somewhat elevate the train journey aesthetic, making it more immersive. I found the performances to be heartfelt, if not occasionally melodramatic, but that’s part of its charm. The shadow of parental conflicts looms large, giving it depth beyond your typical love story. It’s definitely one of those films that stays with you, whether you love it or not.
