Reliance Entertainment has officially announced that Chidiya, the much-anticipated drama directed by Mehran Amrohi, will now release in select cinemas on 30 May 2025, a week later than originally planned. In a heartfelt tweet, the studio thanked audiences for their continued support, writing, “The journey behind CHIDIYA has been worth every moment, and we can’t wait to share it with you.” The shift underscores the film’s careful rollout strategy, aiming to reach audiences ready for a story told with emotional depth and subtlety.
Chidiya is set in a modest Mumbai chawl and follows the touching journey of two young boys, played by Svar Kamble and Ayush Pathak, who chase a dream that often feels just out of reach. Anchored by the tender presence of their single mother—played by acclaimed actress Amruta Subhash—the story unfolds through moments of quiet resilience, joy, and the innocent determination of youth. Vinay Pathak and Hetal Gada also star in this moving narrative of familial bonds and unspoken love.
Produced by Faqhrul Husaini and supported by Smiley Films and Reliance Entertainment, Chidiya has already made a mark on the international festival circuit. Critics and early viewers have praised its grounded storytelling, intimate cinematography, and emotionally layered performances. Director Mehran Amrohi’s sensitive vision highlights the contrast between childhood dreams and adult realities, crafting a film that resonates far beyond its humble setting.
With a new release date set for May 30, Chidiya arrives at a time when audiences are increasingly seeking heartfelt, meaningful cinema. Its themes of aspiration, family, and emotional endurance make it a timely and universally relatable experience. As the buzz continues to build, Chidiya is poised to touch hearts and remind viewers that even the quietest stories can leave a lasting impact.
