What mars the effort to some extent though is the near-documentary feel the film takes at numerous junctures, especially during the first half. It comes across as sermonising, which can be a put-off for audiences. It, however, takes a surprising turn at the interval when one of the students commits suicide.

In fact, the drama builds up from here as Mithun Chakravorty, who plays an advocate, takes it upon himself to fight a case against the father of the boy who committed suicide.

'Chal Chalein' gathers momentum as an entire bunch of students come together to file a case against their parents with a charge of undue pressure on them to study.

From the performances perspective, Mithun towers above all. Kanwaljeet and Rati Agnihotri do an average job. Among the teenagers, Tanvi Hegde does leave a mark.

At the box office though, the film has little chance. With near zero promotion and big competition in the form of 'Love Aaj Kal', which is still going strong, and new release 'Agyaat', 'Chal Chalein' might just disappear unnoticed.
