Well how kiddie can u be?
12 January 2009
Kiddie films are so difficult to make, yet some people think it's easy Show a school, show a naughty child, show some forced emotional angles, some songs like MERA BUDDY and ready Show some emotional scenes like he falling off a staircase

Here Ravi Chopra go a step further

Show a kiddish Bhoot, who instead of frightening the kid acts like a funny Bhoot, This was meant to be funny? There is some good chemistry between Bachchan and the child but later-on when the focus shifts to the melodramatic events the film gets so boring

Ravi Chopra doesn't know where to go, maybe he felt that he should put some melodrama to make the film look smart and appeal to the audiences of all ages, sadly it didn't

The director gives a back story to the Bhoot of being a sad person whose Son didn't treat him well straight out of BAGHBAN and that ruins the story and also the Bhoot character

Amitabh acts well and is the best part of the film The Kid is also endearing Shahrukh Khan has few scenes, he has his moments but he looks too tired Juhi Chawla plays the modern day mother, who has an unbelievable sense of humor, she impresses in parts Rajpal does provide some funny scenes Priyanshu is good in a clichéd role
