The film's title, Charidham, symbolizes not just the holy pilgrimage but also an inner spiritual quest. True to its name, the movie takes audiences through a gripping storyline filled with high-octane action sequences, emotional drama, and a soulful spiritual backdrop.

Plot

It is the story of Abhi (Anubhav Mohanty), a devoted son who undertakes an arduous struggle to fulfill his parents’ lifelong wish of visiting the four holy Char Dham shrines – Puri-Jagannath, Rameswaram, Dwarka, and Badrinath. The character takes on struggles, responsibilities, and even physical challenges to honor his parents’ devotion.

The film sheds light on the challenges and sacrifices faced in the pursuit of this sacred journey, while at the same time highlighting a universal message: the irreplaceable value of parents in our lives. In an era where family bonds are often tested, Charidham is expected to touch the audience deeply by portraying love, duty, and respect towards parents. The storyline carries a strong message: “God resides in our home as our parents. Can’t we at least give them our love?” This line defines the emotional heart of the film.
