Story: A gang of school kids see themselves as the local dadas of their neighbourhood. Their biggest bugbear is that they always lose the cricket match while playing against the rival team. Things turn for the better when the new orphaned car wash boy gives them their first victory. But before they can savour their victory, another threat looms large. The local politician is determined to do away with all street dogs from Mumbai, which means the car wash boy will have to give up his pet dog. Can the gang save their best friend's pet?

Movie Review: What can you say about a film where the first half is spent with a bunch of kids trying to trouble a poor kid and his dog and the entire second half has them trying to save the dog from the infamous dog van.

Okay, the kids are occasionally cute and give you some moments here and there to smile. Specially when they begin to adopt the style and the language of the tapori kid and shock their parents completely. But after a point all their meanness and sweetness ceases to entertain. On the contrary, the total lack of a story line seriously tests your patience.

Wonder how restless kids will watch Chillar Party? Filmmakers need to realize Indian tweens are extremely smart and fed on a regular diet of Cartoon Network and roller-coaster Hollywood kiddie's flicks. You got to have a story, adventure drama and pace. Or else....
