Directed by Kunal Kohli
Cast: Saif Ali Khan, Rani Mukherji, Amisha Patel
Mumbai, June 28: The just releasefilm produced by Yash Raj Films starring Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukherjee besides Amisha Patel, Thoda Pyar Thoda Magic, will attract you if you like kiddie stuff.
Thoda Pyar Thoda Magic directed and partially produced by Kunal Kohli has all stamps of the powerful director as he is, but not enabling the Yash Raj Films to reap great harvest at the box office. It is not an extraordinary film, neither is it a great film to say the least. An average film coming from Yash Raj Film studios.
It is notwithstanding the fact that everyone involved with the film had great hopes with it hoping it would make a turnaround for them. From Saif to Rani and above all Yash Raj Films.
May be it has the capacity to salvage their image a bit, but definitely not be a great extent. Kunal Kohli seems to have put in a lot of efforts to give that extra touch to the film, that at times has resulted in too much special effects, not doing too well for the film. The costumes too at times look shabby. This is true specially in the case of Rani Mukherjee.
If I am right, then only Ameesha Patel was dressed rightly and beautifully, always looking fresh, unlike other leading lady in the film, Rani Mukherjee.
The film is about one of the leading industrialists in the country, Ranbeer Talwar (Saif Ali Khan), who is a loner, not out of his free will but just because he lost everyone, he ever loved. Life turns around 180 degrees when he faces the most uncomfortable situation of his life. In a very unusual court verdict, he is to look after four orphan children.
Unfortunately, the orphans hate him and want revenge from him for some reason and Ranbeer cannot meet their eye for certain reasons. The children do not want to live with a man they hate and they go ahead to make it quite evident. Their life together is very unhappy, one day they pray to God for help, and he does help them. He sends his most mischievous, childlike, lovable angel to the rescue, with a mission to bring Ranbeer and the kids together.
Geeta (Rani Mukerji) comes cycling down a rainbow and bursts into Ranbeer's house as the self-proclaimed new nanny.
The bad news about the film is that Saif and Rani fail to live up to the storyline and they lack chemistry.
Rajeev Masand says about the film, “the film overstays its welcome when it drudges on for a good 15 minutes after the kids have resolved their issues with Ranbir Talwar. The romantic track between Ranbir and Geeta seems obligatory at best, and it doesn't help that Saif and Rani have zero chemistry together.
