The viewers take that as ‘cool'. It will get celebrated within the movie competition circuit. Critics and intellectuals name such movie ‘edgy' and viewers seek for such movie to look at and name them ‘edgy', ‘grappling' movies," Devanshu instructed IANS.

When Sooraj Barjatiya glorifies and exaggerates the joyful, optimistic and good deeds of characters in his story, why do we glance down upon him, or his type of movies? We don't take such movies significantly, why? We shouldn't be ashamed of exaggerating the nice aspect of human beings, as a result of solely that aspect can hold us afloat, particularly in a disaster."

However so as to awaken that superhuman you must summon the nice in you. We've got to do not forget that we're able to extraordinarily shameful deeds as people. We're additionally equally able to placing out a God-like act. What I'm attempting to say is, we've the selection. We can't say no to the darkish aspect in us, we've to just accept that. However on the similar time, we are able to persuade ourselves to deliver out the nice aspect and ask the satan inside us to remain quiet."
Concerning the inception of "Chintu Ka Birthday", Satyanshu mentioned, "The entire concept is to inform a easy human story and set it in a rare scenario the place it appears to be like unattainable.
