Top 5 Hindi Films about Kids to watch with Kids

By

A few weeks back, I was watching a film about a kid, along with my daughter. She loves that movie and generally watches it when they show it on TV (if she has time). She was complaining to me that why I don't write about more such films that are about kids and that she can also read. It struck my mind, and I decided to pen down a few such movies kids can watch with their families. Today, I will list some movies involving kids that kids can enjoy.

1. Mr. India (1987): A goon is after a big house, where Arun lives with a few orphan kids and his cook. He loves the kids as his own and gets furious when one of the kids dies. He finds a watch that his late father had invented and that can turn one invisible. Thus begins his journey of revenge and justice for the kids with the help of his reporter girlfriend. The first Hindi film that one can think about children is definitely this one starring Anil Kapoor, Sridevi and Amrish Puri. Who can forget Arun's invisible funny acts and the villain Mugambo's devilish acts of terror! Directed by Shekhar Kapoor, this film had some superb songs by Laxmikant Pyarelal. 

2. King Uncle (1993): A harsh and arrogant businessman who is bitter to the whole world, including his own family, is visited by an orphan girl who changes his entire life. Various funny sequences involving the young girl and the businessman are enjoyable. The powerful cast of Jackie Shroff, Shahrukh Khan and Paresh Rawal makes it quite a joyride despite some overdramatic scenes. Directed by Rakesh Roshan, it is a decent one-time watch.

3. Hum Hai Rahi Pyar Ke (1993): One of the best movies for kids has to be this film, directed by Mahesh Bhatt. A young man gets into a deep soup after he gets custody of his late sister's 3 kids and a dying factory. While he struggles daily to somehow manage the situation, a runaway bride joins the brigade to add to his already messed up state. However, her jovial presence slowly brings a positive change in the inmates of the house, and they start living happily. This film is an absolute entertainer with outstanding performances from Juhi Chawla and Amir Khan. The music by Nadeem Shravan is also absolutely refreshing.

4. Bhootnath (2008):  This movie is about a kid who moves to a huge house along with his mother. Upon living in the house he discovers that it is haunted by the ghost of an old man who tries everything to scare them away. But the kid is adamant about befriending him and quite easily wins his trust; ultimately, both become best buddies. Together, they keep on carrying out various mischiefs and have a fun time. This film is quite enjoyable, especially due to the antics carried out by the ghost and the kid. The absolutely brilliant performances of Amitabh Bachchan and Aman Siddiqui will never let the audience get bored. The songs are quite peppy, too.

5. Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015): If someone asks me what is Salman Khan's best film to date, I will reply with this movie. The film I started this post with, is this Kabir Khan directorial. Salman Khan was seen in a never-before-seen Avtar here, being the messiah of a little girl searching for her home. The beautiful story, the picturesque views, the smooth storytelling and the amazing cinematography- everything sums up to give a wonderful, entertaining experience. The performances of Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and the little girl Harshali Malhotra are outstanding, and so is the music.

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

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, ...
