While Aryan is the sun around which the chaos orbits, the supporting characters prevent the film from becoming a self-indulgent pity party.
Set against a grounded, urban backdrop, Chaska follows two close friends whose equation is built on late-night chai, inside jokes, and unwavering support. The problem arises when one of them starts developing feelings that the other isn't ready to acknowledge. The film beautifully uses the metaphor of a "chaska" (craving/addiction)—not for substances, but for a person's presence. Chaska -2020- CinemaDosti
