Summary
A young man running a roadside paan shop in a small town in Chhattisgarh becomes infatuated with a schoolgirl who moves in across the street. As other local men also begin pursuing her, his obsession grows into a one-sided fixation that he mistakes for love, leading to awkward and increasingly misguided attempts to win her attention.
Released in 2020, Chaman Bahaar is a comedy and drama film. Inside comedy it is classed as Dramedy.
The calibrated figure is built from 153 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 178 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. 7,929 other films from the 2020s form the cohort it is ranked inside.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Chaman Bahaar lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2020s (7,930 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 153.
