Zor Lagaa Ke…Haiya! (2009) *MQ*
The first that came to my mind while watching Girish Girija Joshi’s Zor Lagaa Ke…Haiya is the fact that thankfully, unlike most ‘children’s films’ made in India, this one actually had kids as the ‘heroes’. There was no Hanuman, Lord Shri Krishna or even a Krissh to help them out.Having said that, let me also add that Zor Lagaa Ke… is no Harry Potter.It’s not even a Spy Kids for that matter. It is a moralistic tale after all.The film somewhat reminded me of the good ol’ didactic docu-features on Doordarshan…maybe just a bit glossier.
Cast: Mithun Chakraborthy, Riya Sen, Gulshan Grover
