'Chalo Jeete Hain': An Inspirational Cinematic Revival Celebrating Selflessness

The film 'Chalo Jeete Hain', an evocative cinematic homage to Swami Vivekananda's teachings, is poised for a special re-release across India from September 17 to October 2, according to a press release from the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting. Garnering acclaim as one of 2018's most-viewed short films, it is scheduled to screen in numerous schools and approximately 500 cinema halls, including PVR Inox, Cinepolis, Rajhans, and Miraj.

In conjunction with its re-release, the 'Chalo Jeete Hain: Seva Ka Sanman' initiative has been introduced to honor the 'Silent Heroes' of society, such as watchmen, cleaning staff, drivers, and peons, who quietly facilitate daily life. These individuals will be celebrated and acknowledged in ceremonies following the film's viewing with students, thereby inspiring young minds to embrace selflessness, the release states.

Motivated by an incident from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's youth, the film recounts the story of young Naru, who is impelled by Swami Vivekananda's philosophy to enact change in his small world. This initiative seeks to convey enduring lessons of altruism and service to a younger generation in a meaningful way, stated producer Mahaveer Jain. He noted, 'This movement profoundly resonates, aiming to ignite a purposeful spirit within the youth, urging societal contribution.' 'Chalo Jeete Hain', directed by Mangesh Hadawale, and presented by Aanand L. Rai and Mahaveer Jain, continues to uphold its potent message of living for others.
