Chhattisgarh ke Bheem Chintaram
2025 Indian film
Chhattisgarh ke Bheem Chintaram (transl. Chhattisgarh’s Bheem Chintaram) is an Indian documentary film directed by S Anshu Dhurandhar. It is based on the life of Indian strongman Chintaram Tikariha. It is the first Chhattisgarhi documentary to contain interviews of over 250 people. The film features first-hand accounts by locals, Tikariha's family and interviews from public figures including chief minister of Chhattisgarh Bhupesh Baghel, cabinet minister Tank Ram Verma and member of parliament Vijay Baghel. The documentary was launched at a public event at Budgahan, Baloda Bazar on 6 January 2025. In February the film was screened at Raipur Art Literature and Film Festival 2025.
Production
The research for the documentary started in 2013 after filmmaker S Anshu Dhurandhar noticed the lack of proper documentation of a widely known local figure Chintaram Tikariha. While initially planned to be a short 20 minutes documentary the project was soon expanded to be a long form documentary due to the vastness of the source material gather during the research process. The production team travelled to over 80 locations across Chhattisgarh tracking Tikariha's life. The filming began in 2021 and lasted until late 2024.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Chhattisgarh ke Bheem Chintaram”, the useful work is to connect “2025 Indian film” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q133055059. The first chronological checks are 2025, 2013, 2021 and 2024.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account.
