The familiar faces of television are making their way to the big screen with Oye Chill Maar, an upcoming Hindi social psychological thriller that brings together Shikha Pandey, Ssshrey Pareek, Atul Tiwari, Prachi Bansal and debutant Tejas Dev. Directed and edited by Nitin M. Rokade, the film is scheduled to release theatrically on September 4.Set against a world increasingly shaped by social media and the pursuit of online validation, Oye Chill Maar explores what happens when the desire for likes, recognition and fame begins to blur moral boundaries. While the film carries the suspense and mystery expected of a psychological thriller, its story is anchored in friendship, relationships, humour and emotional conflict.At the centre are four close friends whose bond is tested by love, secrets and a series of unexpected events. Tejas Dev plays Prem, a young man carrying the weight of a traumatic past and a fractured personality. As he becomes entangled in deception and unsettling revelations, the narrative gradually peels back the layers of his troubled world.The film also looks beyond its thriller premise to address themes such as responsible parenting, emotional well-being and the long-term effects of childhood trauma. The makers have positioned the story as one that seeks to balance entertainment with a social message.Alongside Tejas Dev, the ensemble features television actors including Ssshrey Pareek, Shikha Pandey, Prachi Bansal, Atul Tiwari, Sujeet Asthana, Prashant Mohite and Sufiya. Their presence gives the film a familiar television connection even as it marks a move into theatrical cinema.Produced by Tulshiram Deorukhkar under the banner of Tulshiram Production House, the film was extensively shot in Varanasi. The city’s ghats and streets form an important visual backdrop, adding texture and atmosphere to a story that moves between youthful camaraderie, emotional turmoil and mystery.The promotional journey began on an auspicious note, with the cast and crew visiting Mumbai’s Siddhivinayak Temple to seek blessings before the film’s theatrical release. The team also unveiled the first poster during the visit, offering audiences their first glimpse of the ensemble and the film’s mix of youthful energy, suspense and emotional drama.With its theatrical release now set for September 4, Oye Chill Maar is looking to bring together a young cast, a contemporary subject and a thriller-driven narrative. The film’s focus on social media obsession and the emotional consequences of unresolved trauma adds a topical dimension to what promises to be a mix of mystery, friendship, romance and humour.
