TURUP CheckMate

Synopsis
:
In the neighbourhood, chess is a popular pass time with roadside games bringing together men from different strata. Their pawns include morality and religion, causing social and political tensions to erupt when a tournament gets underway. But the men are only the most visible players.
Against this simmering backdrop, a domestic worker with a secret hobby, a young woman in love and a former journalist struggling with married life must make their moves with care. When caste, class, religion and gender come into play, there are boundaries to be negotiated, and the very rules of the game stand challenged.

Oh man. Caste, Class, Religion, Gender, Sexuality all threaded beautifully via the game of chess. What a fkn movie. And the songs my lord. Thanks for making this. I REALLY hope more people see this.

This is one the best film I ve seen in recent times. By the end, I want to know more about the characters. I want to spend more time with them, fursat me. This usually happens with classic films (eg. Raju Hirani films), where you don’t want the film to end. The music elevates the whole experience to another level. Untrained actors in authentic settings has lend film the realistic flavour, which today’s big budget small town films fails to accomplish. The locations felt so real and apt. This is one the of the most important film of the decade. It is sensitive, engaging and Impactful. I will watch it again. And people who are reading this, please share it with your friends and loved ones.

This was such a great movie. I haven't enjoyed anything as thoroughly in the recent times, as I did while watching this. Lines like "pehli chai, paidalo'n k jamghat k naam"! Brilliant idea and writing! Love to everyone involved in this.
