Bagdi, produced this charming slice-of-life drama.

Chalti Rahe Zindagi plot and themes

In the midst of a housing complex's lockdown due to a pandemic, the film follows three families as they navigate the unexpected revelations and strains on their relationships. According to John Lennon, "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans," and the movie Chalti Rahe Zindagi follows the example of this truth. As they navigate their new reality, the protagonists learn the difficult way that the best discoveries are often the ones that take the least anticipated path. ZEE5's upcoming film Chalti Rahe Zindagi will debut on July 26 and is also available on OTTplay Premium.

Krishna Bhagat is the protagonist of Chalti Rahe Zindagi. Bhagat makes daily rounds in a busy housing complex, connecting three families with bread. Their lives disintegrate in three dramatic episodes as the pandemic tightens its grasp. In the first act, the film uncovers the affair between Arjun's wife and Aru's husband, unveiling secrets. After that, Krishna gets entangled in a money bind as Sushma presses for debt payback, encouraged by her ambitious son Akash, a television journalist. Three generations of women—the ageing Leela, her daughter-in-law Naina, and her teenage granddaughter Siya—entangle in a web of repressed emotions and competing ambitions in the last act, which takes place in the Seth household. The severity of the lockdown tests the characters' perseverance, connections, and self-awareness. Can these regular folks muster exceptional bravery when everything around them grinds to a standstill? Or will their lives' fragile equilibrium be irreparably upset by the constraints of confinement?

Insights from lead cast

Seema Biswas spoke about how emotionally taxing it was to play Leela in Chalti Rahe Zindagi. In the midst of remarkable times, this film poignantly depicts the hardships and victories of common people. She prays that the audience will recognize itself in these people and their stories.

The way it portrays the dynamics of human relationships under pressure is what drew Manjari Fadnnis to Chalti Rahe Zindagi. The pandemic not only physically constrained people, but also ushered in new emotional landscapes. This narrative illustrates how times of distress can reveal one's strengths and weaknesses.

Chalti Rahe Zindagi is about the unforeseen twists and turns of life and how they mould us, according to Siddhant Kapoor. Working on this film reminded the actor that humanity and hope persist, even in the most challenging circumstances. He can't wait for people to see this touching story on ZEE5.
