Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic - a little bit of cuteness & fun

Finally, here are my thoughts about Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic. Many people did not like this film but I adored it! I have to admit that I have a soft spot for kiddie movies. Could be because I have kids of my own. Regardless, I was impress with how much I enjoyed watching it. Having colorful picturizations, cute kids, a dog, a hamster, bubbly Rani, airhead Amisha, and lonely Saif in one film sure can bring some smiles!

Throughout his life, everyone he's ever loved has left the lonely, successful business man, Ranbeer (Saif Ali Khan) . On a unclear, thoughtless situation, he ends up killing a couple in a car accident. In a debatable dilemna, the judge assigns him to take care of four orphans. However, these orphans hate him and want seek to take revenge on him. With the help from God (Rishi Kapoor) and guidance from a very special angel, Geeta (Rani Mukherji), will the household finally be united?

My heart goes out to the young Ranbeer. So much was shown in just one song. Everyone close in his life has left him. But no matter what, he was still ambitious and achieve all the materialistic things in life. Adult Ranbeer is more nonchalant, not showing much emotions. Just do the job and get it done! Saif was wonderful. It wasn't too much of a stretch in the acting department since he's shown his skills. Whether the film is a Being Cyrus, Omkara, or a Race, Saif is definitely an A-lister star!

God's favorite angel Geeta is sent to bring some happiness into Ranbeer's challenging situation. Lighting up the household and earning the kids' love and trust, she is on a mission to make sure Ranbeer and the kids one happy family. It's Rani's film all the way!!! She was so bubbly and fun to watch. Please let her play in more roles where she's this happy-go-lucky than the emotional, crying girl!

God. Any other words? Well, I was glad that Rishi Kapoor played God. Thank goodness Amitabh Bachchan was not God. I like Big B but he's everywhere. He was recently seen as God in God Tussi Great Ho, as well. Yah for Rishi Kapoor. Short appearance but a pleasure to see him since he was in a lot of my childhood Bollywood films I grew up with watching.

Airhead, bimboo, Barbie-doll Malaika. So annoying, yet Amisha was so good at this role! Don't let her character on screen get you now. She did a great job. I have to add she looked really good too!

9-years-old Vashisht, the angrier one of the orphans and oldest. Akshat Chopra did such a great job. Actually the kids did but love his emotional-teary moment.

7-years-old Aditi, the oldest daughter. Looking up Shriya Sharma, she has acted in the tv series, Kausutii Zindagii Kay. Future Bollywood actress?

7-years-old Iqbal is no twin to Aditi. He's actually been adopted into the lovely family. Rachit Sidana is too adorable. I love his man-to-man talk with Ranbeer. So heart-warming.

5-years-old Avantika. Since she's the youngest of the siblings, she often complains about none of her siblings listening to her. Ayushi Berman is so adorable and sweet.

I really like this scene. Geeta advises Ranbeer to get to know the children. Then Ranbeer reminisces about his childhood into each kid.

I just thought the following pic was sooo cute.

This may not be 2008s best films of the year but it is worth watching. Just don't expect too much. Most of the time, you will end up disappointed.
