Something from every Hollywood film
|
This Bollywood film's maker said it was pure coincidence that his film mirrored parts of many Hollywood films. For example, Jadoo resembles E.T, but Rohit is not Forrest Gump. If Rohit is anyone, Rohit was the mentally-retarded character in "Flowers for Algernon" who achieved a normal intellect only to lose it again. The bullies pestering Rohit seem to mirror the bullies who were after Daniel"san" in "The Karate Kid". The Three Stooges-type slap-stick comedy where Rohit wipes up the basketball court with the bullies is unrealistic and a bit irritating. In short, it seemed that the film's maker thought this was his one and only chance to make a film and so he tried everything in film-making that he could think of.
That said, this was a great film that appeals to young and old alike. Rohit's mother is a great actress in addition to being extremely famous in the Indian subcontinent. This film should be classified as a musical because there were many songs of traditional Bollywood length, but it is also a drama, sci-fi, romance, and comedy. It's pretty amazing how all those genres were put into one film. Most of the film is subtitled because most of the characters speak Hindi, except for the European scientists who speak English. The subtitles did not detract from the film's ability to captivate an audience.
The plot revolves around a special needs kid who should have been brilliant had his Mom not been in a car accident after his father, who was driving, was distracted by a UFO. The resulting car crash killed the kid's father and left the kid brain-damaged. When the UFO returns years later and accidentally leaves behind Jadoo, he repairs the brain damage that Rohit suffered. But that damage can only stay healed as long as Jadoo is there. It is a heart-wrenching scene when Jadoo's people return for him and Rohit must return to his challenged condition.
I really like this film; it's cute. Yeh movie bahut achee hai. However parents should be cautioned that there is inappropriate public displays of affection between adult characters in this film and there is a scene in a nightclub involving alcohol beverages. I think this negative Hollywood behaviour was included because this Indian film was shot on location in Canada rather than India. Karab jigga ageh karlehn. |
