The trailer and other promotional content from the team of Chilli Chicken have ensured there is some buzz about the film, at least among the film aficionado circles.
The film marks the directorial debut of Prateek Prajosh. It is said to have been inspired by a story that the filmmaker heard that took place in Bengaluru.
The film tackles racism, found across most Indian cities, especially metropolitan ones. However, the makers may have played it a bit too safe for their eventual message to land.
An obvious comparison when watching this film would be Axone (2019), where food, racism, and Northeast cast members formed the story, much like in Chilli Chicken.
Chilli Chicken attempts to address racism and bring forth the lives of the Northeast population living in small pigeon holes in Bengaluru trying to make ends meet.
