'Chintu Ka Birthday' trailer: Vinay Pathak-Tillotama Shome's film shows family stuck in war-torn Iraq

The trailer for Chintu Ka Birthday is out. Starring Vedant Raj Chibber as Chintu, Vinay Pathak as Chintu's father, Tillotama Shome as Chintu's Mother, Bisha Chaturvedi as Laxmi (Chintu's Sister), Seema Pahwa as Chintu's grandmother, Khalid Massou and Mir Mehroos, the film has a war backdrop which is shocking twist shown in the trailer. Vinay and Tillotama along with their family live in a war-torn country of Iraq and it is set in the year 2004.

The trailer shows a happy glimpse of the family which immediately falls apart when the military enter their home asking them if they insurgents. Chintu's family is adamant that the kid who is crying on his birthday deserves happiness and should be celebrating no matter. They also get visitors in the form of Chintu's friends who are brave and unapologetically calls out the army for destroying their school. 

Check out the trailer below:

Talking about the trailer, Satyanshu and Devanshu Singh, the directors said in a statement, "The two and a half minute film trailer sums up the spirit of the film - a family stuck in war-torn Iraq. We hope that the audience will enjoy the surprise and the innocence of Chintu (and his family) will melt your hearts. Although the film is set in Iraq in 2004, the present situation, where we are locked down in our houses with our families is no different. We have to live in the moment, love each other and keep faith that this too shall pass."

Chintu Ka Birthday will be exclusively streamed on ZEE5 from June 5, 2020.
