Chilli Chicken is a 2024 Kannada-language drama directed by Prateek Prajosh, marking his directorial debut. The film offers a poignant exploration of the lives of migrant workers from India's Northeast, set against the vibrant yet challenging backdrop of Bengaluru.
The narrative centers on Adarsh (played by Shrunga BV), an ambitious owner of a modest Indo-Chinese eatery named Noodle Home. His dream is to transform it into a high-end restaurant, Noodle Palace. Supporting him are four migrant workers from the Northeast: Khaba (Bijou Thaangjam), Ajoy (Victor Thoudam), Jimpa (Jimpa Sangpo Bhutia), and Jason (Tomthin Thockchom). They share a cramped living space and harbor aspirations of their own, primarily seeking respect and acceptance in a city that often marginalizes them.
