“Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic” Movie Review

The film “Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic” is a non-realistic romantic -comedy film for families and kids, having a few magical moments. The audience who liked to watch “Boothnath” will love to watch “Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic.” The film has no drama, suspense, actions, thrills, unexpected turning points or any substance attached to it. The film has a plain simple predictable script. The film has superior performances from actress Rani Mukherjee and Saif Ali Khan and surprisingly fine performances from the kids. The music of the film has the advantage of having the song “Lazy Lamhe”.

The film has got inspirations from many Hollywood movies like “Mary Poppins” and “The Sound of Music” and it looks to be a Disney kind of love –drama with magic inputs. The story of the film starts off from the childhood of Ranbeer Talwar who was brought up in an orphanage and he studies in a boarding school where he gets acclaimed for being a good student .As a youth he is a successful businessman and one day he crashes his car into a SUV that kills Mr and Mrs Wallia.

Ranbeer is sentenced by the court to secure the four little children of the couple - Vasisht, Avantika, Aditi and Iqbal –financially and emotionally, for at least three months trial period and if Ranbeer fails to take care of the kids, he will be sent to custody with a non-bail able prison sentence.

Ranbeer, who has been successful in practical life, is unfortunate in relations and he lost his parents, teachers and even his love, and therefore he has turned into a hard hearted man. The kids have made up their minds to take revenge on Ranbeer and he has a task ahead to make the orphan kids live happily with their new guardian. The kids and Ranbeer pray to the God for help and god sends Geeta, an angel to help them. Everything is settled by the magic and love, showered by the angel, on the four kids and Ranbeer.

Kunal Kohli looks inspired by the Disney and Hollywood kids movies. Cinematography of the film is pretty. Amisha Patel’s “Lazy Lamhe” is wonderful and she looks glamorous in her small role. The music of the film is average. The performance of Rani Mukherjee and Saif Ali Khan is natural and impressive. Ayushi Burman, Rachit Sidana, Akshat Chopra and Baby Shriya Sharma have given expert performances and they do not look to be debuting in movies. The kids portray well the current genre’s grown up kids’ image.

The film will not get audience, searching for dramatic movies with actions, suspense thriller but the film comes under the section of light fun family movies and these kinds of movies are less in number in bollywood. The film will get above average box – office collections and the film will easily recover the cost incurred in production.
