In Ghich Pich, director Ankur Singla captures the bittersweet turbulence of adolescence with a rare blend of tenderness and authenticity. Set in Chandigarh in 2001, the film invites us into a pre-smartphone India, when blank calls were a thrill, love letters in fake blood felt like grand gestures, and posters of Chandrachur Singh and Sonali Bendre adorned bedroom walls.
