Chitegu Chinte, set in a fictitious country called Gajadweepa, is at once a razor sharp and a side splitting look at power and one man’s relationship with it. The film follows a superstar into his newly fashioned life of a politician.
A parody of the times that it was made in, it uses all the tropes and elements that made up popular mainstream cinema to give us a keen allegorical satire.
