Our Review of Chalo Jeete Hain

Chalo Jeete Hain is a simple yet powerful short story about a kid finding meaning in helping others, drawn from PM Modi’s childhood days. It’s got that feel-good vibe with nice messages from Swami Vivekananda, and the young actor does a good job keeping it real. Like those old tales we heard as kids, but short and sweet, perfect for schools or a quick watch at home. With the re-release, it’s a nice reminder to live for more than just yourself.
