Halo

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.

The cinematography and editing was way ahead of its time. The child actors did a fairly decent job. I watched this as a kid and it left a lasting impression on me. I rewatched it in my 30s now and its still as effective. The final scene is tear inducing. Also, the title song used to be one of my favourites growing up. A must watch!

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.

A very underrated movie which current generation hardly knows. Love, Innocence and Sacrifice portrayed in the most simple and beautiful langauge. The climax always make me cry. Performance of actors, Cinematography and Direction are top notch. One of the best works of Santosh Sivan. Especially the protagonist who portrayed the role of Sasha, her companion bald boy, the oldage couples, everyone played their roles perfectly.

This movie should be shown to children at least once. I request governments to screen this movie to all schools during events or festivals. Not only kids, but adults should also watch this movie.
