Jeanskynebu the audience applauded
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Gypsi Bates Ranbeer (Saif Ali Khan), a recalcitrant workaholic, kills a couple in a car accident. The judge gives the unusual ruling that the four children left orphaned by the accident are to live with him. All five are miserable and pray for help. God (Rishi Kapoor) hears their pleas and sends his favorite angel, Geeta (Rani Mukerji), to help them become a family.This is a sweet movie that, with the exception of one song, is oriented to family viewers, and gives uplifting messages about loss, prayer, and God. Khan is perfect for the role, gradually going from gruff and brooding to open and loving. He and Mukerji have good chemistry. She is her usual perky, cheerful self, and makes a delightful angel. Kapoor is excellent in his minor role. The children play their parts well. The music is average, with very little choreography. Overall, this film, while not perfect, is certainly a pleasure
silvan-desouza Yash Chopra films are mostly over the top, larger then life.etc with superficial scenes and so is TPTMThe film starts with an accident and a court scene but Amisha's character ruins it The scenes between Saif and kids are good but then comes the angel angle which is so put off and forcedIt looks like they tried to add that to appeal to the children and the big fat Rani spoils the film with her continuous speech and babyish expressionsThen we have also the heaven scenes which are boringThen we have some songs and songsWe have a predictable storyline which a child can even guessWe have the sudden change of heart of children'sWe have the stupid finale where Rani becomes a human from an angel cos she loves Saif, Yes you heard it rightSaif is natural in his role, though he frowns too much in 1st halfRani overacts, Amisha irritates the kids are okay Rishi Kapoor is a delight
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.
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.
