Pratik Jasani The last film from Yashraj, "Tashan," had sent shivers down my spine and made me think that this company had finally run out of good ideas – result was that it was a massive flop. But with this one, I have managed to regain some faith in the films that Yashraj is now releasing.The country's top industrialist and loner (not his will as he loses everyone he loves), causes a car accident in which parents of four children are killed. At the end of the hearing, the judge, instead of sentencing the industrialist, orders him to take care of the dead couple's children. However, the four children have other plans in mind.Directed and written by the "Hum Tum" director, Kunal Kohli, the movie stars Saif Ali Khan, Rani Mukherjee, Amisha Patel and Rishi Kapoor and is produced by Aditya Chopra.The story, though well written and directed, does have echoes of Walt Disney's "Mary Poppins," which starred Julie Andrews in a similar but not quite the same, role as the one portrayed by Rani Mukherjee. There are chances that she will probably receive an award for this role, if not then, she is in a very good position for a nominee. Saif, on the other hand, has also handled his role very well. But I must say that it was a change to see Rishi Kapoor in a complete different role.Conclusion: A good family entertainer that can be watched with kids.

tambe This film was really great! All the characters acted really well. I liked Rani Mukherjee's acting very much: she was a fairy and a messenger of God. I liked her very much in the "Bubbly" song.Rani Mukhurjee was fantastic in her roles. She was really natural, and made all the kids to like Saif Ali Khan. Indeed, he became close to them. He understood how they must be feeling without their parents, so he wanted to be like a proper father. He tried to get closer to all of them by understanding their feelings. He helped Aditi by winning a cooking contest (ofcourse with the help of Rani's magic). Rani Mukherjee really had fun with the children. Especially when Iqbal tried to make a spider fall on her face, she turned it into a butterfly. The funny part was that the spider fell on his face after the magic was over.Rani is the perfect one for a fairy. Her expression and her passion was tremendous. She acted extremely well.Saif was good in his role. The transformation from a carefree person to a loving person, was simply great. He was himself in the movie and showed his natural liking for kids.The kids gave an outstanding performance. Their dialogs were not robotic and were full of emotions. Most of all, they really enjoyed playing their roles.Please do not miss out on this wonderful movie! This movie is for all age groups. It celebrates both childhood and parenthood.

die_Heuchler Congratulations to director Kunal Kohli for setting up his own production house and joining hands with Yashraj to take on his first venture as a director/producer. Well, he doesn't really have to prove himself because this is his fourth time around as a director and he has matured with his profession. Director Kohli is out this time with a magical fairy tale based in contemporary Delhi revolving around a lonesome handsome and four kids whose parents get killed in a car accident.Awkward (but it's cinema again) the judge orders Ranveer to take the kids home and unwillingly they start living under one roof but no one is really happy with each other. Then things start taking place very quickly, before you can fully grasp the situation the story has already moved far ahead and you desperately try to catch up. Anyway, that again perfectly justifies the fast-paced first 10 minutes where a young Ranveer grows up to a man (I loved the scene where he gets up and starts walking before his name is announced in a business award-giving.) and hits his car into an unfortunate couples'.The eldest of the kids decides to take revenge and come to Ranveer's house. Then some really silly sequences follow that are absolutely out of place that even a seven year old would simply reject. Then comes in this incredibly noisy yet sweet and lovable fairy Geeta (Rani Mukerji). Gee, I would not have an angel by that name and definitely not a God (Rishi Kapoor) with funny beard. Then there is this dumb girlfriend of Ranveer (Amisha Patel) and an eccentric butler. The kids have presented a magnificent performance, full points to them.Kunal Kohli yet again shows his inclination towards western flicks and even managed to squeeze in a quick Night in the Museum sequence in a song and even managed to tell how great his country is. Then there is this pool party clearly inappropriate for little ones to be attending. Kohli even manages to pay homage to popular songs of yesteryears in a car ride sequence.Wow! So many things in one movie – it's making me dizzy.It also comes to show how the musical trio of Shanker Ehsaan Loy have exhausted and begun making songs similar (compare Pyaar ke Liye and Taare Zameen Par) to the ones they previously composed. Javed Akthar's pretty is yet again gripping. Cinematography and editing is so so – I don't think it's so great for a SFX movie like this. I think the harness scenes looked pretty stiff and awkward (perhaps the actors had no experience working on harnesses.) The scenes in heaven could've been more better. Little animation sequences that pop up in the middle are distracting and inconsistent.Though it was absolutely unimportant to take the story to LA in the last act, I think it was still great watching the inside of Hollywood theme parks and specially the scene where Rani uses her magical powers to transform the "H" of Hollywood into a "B." Anyways, I would say that take your children to watch the film but not sure whether they'll be able to grasp all the punches. Anyway, take them – at least they'll enjoy the special effects and comedy and the kids.

ditzy-rani So I watched one of the most anticipated movie of the year TPTM with high hopes and enthusiasm, but did I get what I was hoping for? Well.. you will find out at the end of my review.The movie is about four kids who had a horrible tragedy and end up living with Saif Ali khan.. Now, that's all I'm gonna say about the story or else I'd be spoiling the whole maza.Good thing about TPTM is that as soon as you are seated, the drama has started, it will keep you captivated till the very end , and that's the plus sign of any Bollywood flick considering they are longer than usual Hollywood drama...ActingSaif: He is a natural actor, he is one of the finest actors we have in Bollywood and Yes, he did justice to his role.. he was very convincing and I challenged any actor who can do this role better than him. This role was meant for him.. Period! Amisha Patel: It's not her fault she can't act, it's the director's fault who had asked her to share the screen with Rani Mukerji.. when these ladies were face to face, you cant help but cringe.. cause it was black & white.. day & night..apple & oranges.. Yellow & green ( Amisha really needs to work on her acting skills).. I hope sharing screen with Rani & saif will bring the best out of her, and hopefully she has learned something from them.. but one thing I liked about her was her sex appeal, she looked very beautiful no doubt but that's about it.Kids: Adorable... very very cute and quite witty.. the little girl was so funny, every time she said " Merey to koi baat hi nahi sonta hey" with a long face, I burst out laughing.. she was adorable, but that sardar kid was damn hilarious too.. and the oldest brother as well as the girl who was in SRK game show did incredibly well.. these kids can be future stars, if they keep performing like that.Rishi K : Well, it was a cameo role for him and he did what he had asked to do, he looked cute and was very funny.. nothing much to say to that.. so moving onRani Mukerji: All hail the queen.. the majesty, the lovable, the most adorable Rani Muekrji.. she was the fresh breath of this movie.. absolutely fantastic, you can easily say that she lifted the entire movie on her shoulders. Her dialog delivery was marvelous, very convincing which definitely bring tears to your eyes.Songs: Here comes the interesting part, although you would fall in love with all the songs once you watch the movie, cause it makes much better sense as we are going through some emotions.. but some songs can dominate other depending who is the audience ... but if you are a big Rani fan, you'd love Bulbula.. when she appeared in the song, every one in my theater hall was breathless .. she looked like a real fairy, long hair.. sexy eyes, stunning smile, that song was the high light of the film, the way it was filmed with visual effects, I have never seen it before in Bollywood and in Hollywood, so yeah I loved that song with the bottom of my heart... but if you ask kids to pick their favorite song, they would say it's "Betay Kal say" that takes the cake.. it was shot in the museum and done it really well, I enjoyed every moment of it (only if these museum do exist in real life.. *sigh).. If you ask a young, love, dove couple, ask for their favorite song, they'd say it was "Nihal Ho gaye" cause that song had so much emotions involved in it, and the lyrics were amazing, a romantic song which brings Saif and Rani together.. and they share a great chemistry.. but if you ask older people to pick their preferred song, they'd say "Payr key leye" and believe me guys, that song is very sad and bring tears to your eyes.. but the one song which every one can sing along and do little booty shaking is none other than "Lazy Lamhey" it was very well done, and AMisha looked very hot in it ( but I found it way way to hot, especially when all four kids were around) you watch it and let me know if you agree with me or not... but I must say, after this song, singing under water would be a new trend in Bollywood.. that song was top notch.. well done Kunal.. kudos to you! Kunal has taken a risk to direct a movie which is based on fantasy and reality, and I must say that he has broken the seal.. now more directors will follow his lead and make similar movies.. but I will say it with confidence that Kunal is a saving grace for YRF.. he has done a great job and deserves a standing ovation.Overall, it was a very good movie, I liked it.. enjoyed it and yes I can now proudly say, that I got what I was hoping for.. go watch it with your family, you wont be disappointed!
