Set in the colourful lanes of Fort Kochi, Chatha Pacha follows a ragtag group of misfits who come together to build a professional wrestling entertainment franchise.

It’s part underdog story, part comedy of errors — and entirely something Malayalam cinema has never tried before. The film is touted as the industry’s first-ever WWE-inspired venture, which alone makes it a landmark watch.

The film released to mixed-to-positive reviews, with praise for its novelty and energy, while the story and pacing drew some criticism.
