5 Hindi Animated Films to Watch this Children's Day

By

Although I am not much into Animated Films, still I sometime do watch, just to give my daughter company. Since Children's Day is just a few days away, I thought of creating a list of Indian Animated Films that the entire family can watch together and enjoy.

1. Bal Ganesh (2007): This was a time when the concept of animation was confined mostly to television channels. But the makers of the film went ahead and created a very beautiful animated film. From a technical point of view, the animation is pretty average but what makes this film engaging is the story.  Bal Ganesh's pranks and his wit also makes it an enjoyable watch for kids.  


2. Roadside Romeo (2008): I think this was the first time when big stars voiced for cartoon characters when it comes to Hindi films. The film was not a commercial success, but I found it quite funny. Romeo's character is very cute and loveable. At the time when Saif Ali Khan, was known for his cool yet confused attitude (with his signature "wow"s), I feel he was a great choice for the character of Romeo. Kareena Kapoor as the female lead Laila, and Javed Jaffrey as the bad guy ( oops dog) were enjoyable too.


3. Cheenti Cheenti Bang Bang (2008): This was an interesting story, with war of the ants as the topic. A cute love story builds up amidst the backdrop of a raging rivalry and war between black and red ants. The animation was quite good and the music by Jeet Ganguly were equally hummable. The voices led by actors like Ashish Vidyarthi, Mahesh Manjrekar, Sabyasachi Chakrabarty and Asrani make it an entertaining watch for the family. 

4. Toonpur Ka Superhero (2010): Although not a fully animated film, this one can also be counted in as most of the story takes place in the toon world. I thoroughly enjoyed the performances of Ajay Devgn in the film. The film's story is quite unique and Sanjay Dutt's narration makes it a funtime watch. The music is melodious too. 

5. Goopi Gawaiya Bagha Bajaiya (2013): So, the entire idea to write this post came to my mind after I got a chance to attend the screening of this film last week. Taken from Upendrakishore Roy Choudhury's famous Bengali story, Goopi Gayen Bagha Bayen, this film had all the elements that one can expect from a children's film. It has ample of humour, spooky visuals related to ghosts, funny dialogues and excellent music. The entire audience, mostly consisting of little ones was absolutely glued to the screen, throughout its 1.5 hrs of runtime. 


I would love to know about more such animated film recommendations. Please drop in your suggestions.

Top 5 Films Based on Communal/Civil Wars and Internal Feuds

A couple of days back I watched a film, only to get a headache and I forgot its name too. But still, I watched it, some people won't change. Will they? Like nations in continuous wars and internal feuds -God knows what they get out of it. War has not done good for anyone ever. While their purpose is best known to them, my purpose as a cinema lover is to create a list of films that cover topics of Communal/Civil war and internal feuds:   1. The Killing Fields: I had no idea about the history of Cambodia, till I watched this 1984 film, during my mid-twenties. A nation that was absolutely devastated as a result of the killing of thousands of its citizens under the bloodthirsty Khmer Rouge reign - Killing Fields covered this history through the pen of a New York Times journalist and his Cambodian associate. The movie is difficult to watch due to the depiction of the horrid nature of the brutality that innocent people had to go through. Pran, the Cambodian journalist had to endeav...

Mushy Mushrooms, Mini Macaroons & 5 Whodunnit Murder Mysteries to Watch on My Breakfast Plate

By

As the mother of a fourth-grade student, my mornings start at 5:30 a.m. daily. Making breakfast and setting up lunchboxes keep me occupied during those hours and since I like to keep it simple for breakfasts, they generally get quite boring, with either bread toasts or chapattis. (common story of a lot of moms). Sometimes our wishes can go to an extravaganza and the longing for a due break with a lavish breakfast consisting of some creamy- buttery mushy mushrooms sprinkled with roasted garlic, some berry-flavoured mini macaroons and to top it all a thrilling, chilling old-fashioned Whodunnit Murder Mystery Movie playing on TV just makes things perfect. Sounds like quite a plateful right? Since we have already made a grand plan of how my breakfast plate is going to look, let's narrow down the list of Murder Mystery movies that can be included in my watchlist. 1. Knives Out (2019): Imagine digging your fork into a plateful of yummy creamy mushrooms, tuning into Daniel...

5 Dumb Movies that are Secretly Clever

I have always avoided films like "Drunken Master" and other movies that begin and end with a fight. The same goes for mindless action films too. However, there are a few movies that I have watched that may seem incredibly foolish and dumb but if you manage to watch those you will realise they are quite clever. So, here is my list of 5 Dumb Movies that are Secretly Clever. 1. Tucker and Dale vs. Evil: When 2 worthless friends go for a vacation, their adventures turn into a disastrous misadventure and a massacre due to misunderstandings and unfortunate turn of events. This movie is gory, bloody and yet stupidly hilarious. The execution style is of a slapstick comedy with the chills and thrills of a gory slasher, making it a unique dark comedy. How some people's false assumptions about 2 people turn into a nightmare for both parties is the main story behind this goofy massacre. 2. One Cut of the Dead: In the beginning this film looks like a low-budget mindless zombie flick, ...
