Chain Kulii Ki Main Kulii

I've watched this movie more than 10 times. 90s kids nostalgia

A decent film for kids. It's much better than those pretentious kiddie movies like Krishh and Koi Mil Gayas but the fact that 'Chain Kulii Ki Main Kulii' is a ripoff isn't exactly an advantage. Karan (Zain Khan) is a young orphan who dreams of being a cricket player. However, living in an orphanage, it seems an impossible dream until one day he finds a bat, not just an ordinary bat but a magical one.

This film has its share of flaws (which are many): The Hitler character was really annoying and the actor was pretty bad at playing the evil headmaster. It has it's share of melodrama (but then again it is targeted at the young audience). There are also many similarities to Nagesh Kukunoor's 'Iqbal' (which of course is a much better film).

Zain Khan is alright (even though he goes a little over the top quite frequently and annoys). Rahul Bose is good but this isn't among his best work, mostly because the role doesn't have much to offer. It's nice that he did a kids movie (in spite of being known for his intense roles) and he takes a back seat as he allows more scope for the newcomer kid. Meera Vasudevan has a very small and insignificant role but it's nice to see her after a long time (if only the role was something of substance).

So parents, uncles, aunts and whoever wants to enjoy a movie with their kids can give this forgettable film a go. Yes, you might enjoy it but it's not one you'd care to remember. Plus, I just didn't like that it was a ripoff, I mean, is it really that difficult to come up with an original idea?

I mean such lazy writing and production just replaced Shoes with Bat and Basketball with Cricket everything is the same and I fail to understand why isn't this blatant copying is mentioned anywhere Neither on Wikipedia nor the reviews Another movie from Nostalgia ruined it for me.

The character of the bully is the same the same ordering of food while the player who is babysitting you is on a date the same story of the orphanage I mean what else

very bad movie.

Copying has its limits and this just crosses them without ever mentioning inspiration or some sort from the Hollywood movie Loved this movie as a kid not anymore.

Central character Karan believes in this film that there is some magic in his cricket bat. Similarly there is definitely some magic in treatment by débutant director Kituu Salooja that retains your interest till the end of the movie, which is no small thing in a non-star cast, non-romantic, modest budget film. It qualifies to be a light hearted, fun filled film that promises to break the barrier between the kiddie flick and the adult flick.

Though the background is Cricket, but the film works more for the amazing chemistry, between 13-yr old débutant Zain Khan and Rahul Bose. Another plus point in film is it is devoid of any genre, so no overdose of melodrama, preachings (for kids) or dramatic moments. It is slick and crisp, plain, simple, fast paced, a 96-minute roller-coaster ride. On flip side though, there is scope in development of Climax. The track involving Rahul's strained relations with his father is also under developed. But that can be ignored, as it is a treat for whole family at the end of summer time.

One of the nostalgic movie. This movie delivers best social message. Importance of believing in ourselves. There are various humourous scenes, scenes were we understand importance of our parents. The song "khulla aasmaan" is one of the best song by KK. The background music when emotional scenes are played is also beautiful. Overall the movie is fantastic for me. I don't care about others opinion.
