3.5 Very Good

Movie ka hero kaun??? Bachcha party!!!! The kids are really amazing. They are not like the typical bollywood kids who are made to act smart. They are like normal real kinds – they are naughty, they are nice, they are everything that kids are. Actually kunal didn’t use them as mere child artistes. They were given their parts and they played it perfectly – each one of them.
Saif plays this cool cucumber who gets hot (his temper, I mean!?!?!) rather quickly. But who is complaining. He is so natural that it doesn’t look as if he is acting. But he doesn’t have much to do in the movie.
And rani mukherjee truly takes away all the glory. Her facial expressions have never been so good. It’s a treat to watch her in the song “main bulbula”. Why only the song, you will like every bit of her peppy fairy avtar. Its only her acting that makes all the difference – and won’t even care about how many outfits she is wearing in the movie. I have one thing to say rani. rani, you rock dude, no matted what your detractors have to say.
Rishi kapoor is quite adorable in his short role. You might actually feel that God resembles him. But why did we have tarana in the movie. Her part could be played by anybody. and ameesha does her bimbette part perfectly so much so that you feel irritated by her. But kunal could very well give her character a miss. I think ameesha was included in the movie for the oomph factor, which YRF have been pretty obsessed with, lately. And what’s Mahesh thakur doing. He doesn’t even have a dialogue.
The special effect are really good. The best one being where rani and the kids are shown to take part in the dandi march with gandhiji. And though the music did not fair good, fits perfectly with the situations. Don’t be surprised if you start humming them after the movie, specially “pyaar ke lie”.
In all, a movie worth watching. the story is predictable but It brings a smile to your face. Even if you enter the theatre with a frown, you are bound to come out with a happy heart. If not anything, if gives you hope – for a happy tomorrow for yourself. I only hope the movie had been a little longer coz I luved the magic and would luv to see more of it.
