Set parallelly in the 1990s and 2019, Chhichhore tells the story of Aniruddh "Anni" Pathak, a middle-aged divorced man whose son Raghav tries to commit suicide after failing to clear the JEE entrance examination, and who, despite survival, is unwilling to live due to the fear of being branded as a "loser", which makes a desperate Anni recount his own experience to Raghav of his own time at college, wherein he and his five friends too were called 'losers', and how they managed to remove that 'tag'; as he continues along to narrate his story, the other five join their friend & complete the story.[4]
Principal photography commenced in September 2018.[5]Chhichhore was released on 6 September 2019, receiving widespread critical and commercial acclaim for its direction, storyline, dialogues, humour, performances of the ensemble cast, social message, and portrayal of hostel life in Indian colleges.[6] Earning ₹215 crores (₹2150 million/$28 million) worldwide to emerge as a blockbuster, it went on to receive the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi at the 67th National Film Awards announced in 2021.[7] It also received five nominations at the 65th Filmfare Awards – Best Film, Best Director for Tiwari, Best Story, Best Dialogue and Best Editing.
