Halo

Rather than a review, this is an emotional outburst. For a long time, I wanted to express my feelings about this movie, but, as I watched this movie very long time ago, I forgot its name.

I watched this movie when I was a kid, I remember I cried after watching the ending. At that time, I was not aware that this movie was directed by acclaimed director Santosh Sivan.

In present time, where movies on children or their has feelings have became so rare in Bollywood. This movie is a blast form the past as well as a lesson for "commercial" cinema of bollywood.

Hats Off to Santosh.

A must watch for, everyone specially for fans of movie like Mr. India.

My favourite film as a child. The story is poignant. The end always makes me emotional. And I am a fan of that bald, bespectacled boy who keeps saying: " Dad,someone's look at us". His character is so hilarious.

I first watched it when I was around 8 and it made me very sad to know the little girl lost her puppy. I wouldn't spoil it. But when I watched it as an adult, I was able to appreciate it more. It's like watching it from the eyes of a child. I love the style of directing , the dialogues, the silly and goofy song and camera angles. It all works in favor of it's story telling. Really , give it a watch. You wouldn't be disappointed. It will make your heart warm. It wilI make you nostalgic (if you are an Indian 90s kid). I still haven't fulfilled my dream of adopting a dog and naming it Halo, hopefully someday.

Halo is perhaps THE best children film I have ever seen. This is a story of a lonely girl Sasha, who lives with her father and her cousin sister, and longs for a good friend. One day a small puppy enters her house and gets very friendly with Sasha. Sasha thinks she has received the puppy from the God and names it HALO. But one day suddenly, the puppy disappears and then starts Sasha's search. The end is really very touching. The film is technically very well made by one of the greatest cinematographers of the world, Santosh Sivan. Along with that funny sequences in between make the film more interesting and watchable. Acting by Benaf Dadachanji (Sasha) is really award-winning. the film also features good performances by Sasha's father (the well known director Rajkumar Santoshi) and the bald child.

This will go down in my top 50 cinema ever.

Halo is a beautiful and simple story of a little girl's coming of age.

Directed by Santosh Sivan this is such an underrated gem that I am shocked and applauded that it is not popular.

This is a masterpiece that many people should watch. The end of the movie makes it an unforgettable experience.

Do yourself a favor watch this movie before the sands of time bury this movie.

This film won best cinema by Filmfare in critic section and won a national award for best children film.

We have a child in us. Go watch it. Watch with entire family. Rarely do we come across films like this.
