Chidiya follows the story of Shanu and Bua, two brothers growing up in a cramped Mumbai chawl, whose dreams are far bigger than their surroundings. When they decide to turn an abandoned junkyard into a badminton court, their small idea brings together an entire neighbourhood — a journey filled with mischief, hope, and quiet victories.

Director Mehran Amrohi shares, “Chidiya is a love letter to childhood resilience. It’s about finding joy in scarcity, and how children’s imagination turns even the smallest spaces into worlds of their own. Shanu and Bua’s dream is simple — but it’s everything to them.”

Producer Faqhrul Husaini of Smiley Films adds, “From the beginning, we knew Chidiya was special. It’s not loud or flashy, but it celebrates something very precious — the quiet strength of community, and the small victories that make life extraordinary.”

Vinay Pathak says, “The beauty of Chidiya lies in its simplicity. Sometimes the most powerful stories come from the smallest, most honest moments. That’s what makes this film stay with you.”

Amruta Subhash reflects, “Chidiya is about dreaming big in narrow lanes. For me, it was about being fully present — no artifice, no acting tricks. Just truth. And in this film, even silence speaks volumes.”
