Dhanak

What worked:

• humorous dialogues and beautiful screenplay; what keeps the movie engaging is the interaction between the siblings, and their journey, meeting new people at different circumstances. The movie is a feel good family drama which holds its value and narrative despite some flaws and loopholes. Also, the movie impresses because of the lead child actors, their charisma, nuances and childlike qualities.

What did not work:

• surreal theme; although the movie holds strong with its intend and narrative, we cannot overlook the fact that the kids journey is more superficial than reality. I am not trying to bash the makers, culture and society but it all seemed like a child fiction and adventure where they use their cliche childish behavior to get what they wanted. However, we cannot also deny the fact that the movie's theme worked also because of the innocent and true motives of the kids.

Final verdict: recommended, should give it a try at least once

Simply brilliant movie man , no doubt a kid performance was simply amazing.cant tare more than 10 .

I'm watching this movie with my 6-year old daughter as if it was a TV series: Bollywood movies are too long for her. We're watching it for the second time now, and we're loving it as much as the first time. She as a child, because the film is an adventurous fairytale, and me as a parent, because it shows the ugly world while giving the chance to believe in a better one, it praises beautiful family values, and it encourages girls to go for their dreams. A lovely movie. Bollywood did it again!

Great Direction by Nagesh Kukunoor. This movie is a slap on the cheap Hindi movies with no story-line which has become a trend now-days. I loved this movie and awesome acting by all the actors specially chotu(Krrish Chhabria) and pari(Hetal gada). Thumbs up to Nagesh. A request to nagesh ,please keep on making such motivational movies with good story-line and acting.

This movie deserves a award. I am hopeful about the future of Indian cinemas after watching this movie. A great detailing has went in directing this movie. It feels so refreshing to see the real rajasthan consisting of sand and small villages.

Thumbs up to nagesh and his team.

What can i say about this masterpiece. All I can says is that this Movie is Bollywood's reply to Hollywood's Movie "Its a wonderful Life" and French Movie "Life is Beautiful". The lead actors, the Kids and his sister are amazing in the movie, all the supporting actors left their impression and brought their characters to life. Music and Script is top notch. Finally amazing Direction by Nagesh Kukunoor. This movie made me laugh, cry, smile, giggle, sad and really really happy. The journey Chotu and Pari take feels like our own journey and feels like we are traveling with them. And all the people they meet on their journey showcase the complete spectrum of people we can find in real life. The Sweet and Sour Rivalry between Chotu and Pari for their respective favorite superstar Shahrukh and Salman also keeps audience giggling throughout the movie. A MUST WATCH.
