Friend (Chingoo) is based on True Story....

I'm reading few reviews and some people are saying that the movie is unconvincing or unrealistic of two friends becoming a rival gang.

This movie is inspired by the true story of director's life. The director is the rich kid that went away to study in US and his friends became thugs... So, how is this unrealistic when it's based on director's life...

It's really based on the true story.
A gangster killing another gang who is his childhood friend... is real. the model of this caracter was in jail in ten years.
