The story twirls as the camera is taken at the highest altitude - the heavens! The scene where God (Rishi Kapur) is discussing the Ranbir situation with beautiful apsaras. Enter Geeta, the mischievous fairy who is then assigned the job to descend to earth and solve the problems faced by the kids. Lets all wish more Geetas come to Earth, into our lives.

Though the film has been made with the Bollywood modus operandi, keeping aside mauj-masti-naach-gaana, it has a very significant message behind it. The message of love… and how it can be inculcated in our lives. TPTM talks on how even angels don’t understand misery, which we humans have invited upon us.

Saif Ali Khan is a top class! He proves himself here that playing diverse roles is no big deal. Rani Mukherjee is lovable as always, playing a bubbly fairy, she wins all hearts.

A special mention are the Child actors. Vashisht (Akshat Chopra), Aditi (Shriya Sharma), Iqbal (Rachit Sidana) and Avantika (Ayushi Berman) deserve an applause for their rich performances. Iqbal and Avantika especially make the girls at the multiplex start their ‘Choow-Cute’ and ‘Choow-Chweeet’ chants.

One more plus here for the kids is the animation. Kohli has made sure that final output is par-excellence. The animation seems to have been made in the best studios since it crosses the Hanuman and Ganesha barriers. Dancing dinosaurs, fairies, rainbow bicycling will be a treat for the kids and you too.

All I can say is, the TPTM is made with humanity kept in view. Does God intend to grant us what we desire? Does God watch us cry or he cries along with us? Good reasons for some inquiry after watching the film.

Why do we waste our time often ‘falling’ for the next weekend release. Extensive publicity, the best cast and a humongous budget makes you think, ‘How can I miss this one’. But what turns out is a fairy tale which is ambiguous to its core.

Man! Which country has this law? You ram folks with your car and won’t go to jail if you adopt the kids.. wow, democracy at its best. On top of that, these lil’ devils are revengeful, recalcitrant brats who inspire other kids in the audience to do the worst things to elders. A Children’s movie? I think the kids are better off doing their school homework and reading Tintins, Tinkles or Chacha Chaudharies.

Fine, considering Ranbir’s preposterous punishment, the movie felt very gripping in the first half hour, when earthly manifestations of a worldly businessman and four ill-behaved children were presented perfectly. But the next part raises eyebrows with perplexity as an animated scene from the heaven emerges, and we see God a.k.a Rishi Kapoor having his round-table conference with fairies!

Shrek will fart out loud with the animated frenzy which Bollywood can achieve! For that matter, in one of the scenes is taken in actual Hollywood (L.A), where Geeta (Rani) the fairy casts her spell on Hollywood hills and make it spell ‘B-o-l-l-y-w-o-o-d’! Hahaha now thats real funny. (and true )

The magic! I do understand there are no limits to fantasy, but the kind of magic shown here could make JK Rowling as well as Rajnikanth feel inferior. At least Harry Potters declare pure magic and the Rajnis declare pure hamming, but TPTM is some exceptional fantasy starting with Rani riding a bicycle on her rainbow to she taking kids into historical times. One noticeable point here is, neither children, not Ranbir are surprised much with her magic, they seem to be very fine with it.

Amisha Patel is a bomb which can explode into your child’s ethical life . I wonder how this film got an ‘U’. Let me please mention here, Kunal Kohli in one of his interviews said, “Sensuality and vulgarity have a difference. I don’t make films like that. Besides, Lazy lamhe is a clean song. It wasn’t censored and we also got a U-certificate. You can very well watch it with your parents, brothers and sisters and believe me you won’t be embarrassed”. THIS IS A WRONG STATEMENT. I wonder what it takes for Kohli to get embarrassed, maybe a Hollywood style sensual scene!

The other songs make a chitrahaar out of the movie. But thats so much a Bollywood trademark, we always sing, dance, make merry in every situation of life.

All in all TPTM is an entertainer, you must watch it if you want to make the most of your ‘nothing better to do’ moments. Let kids enjoy the film, and wait to unleash your explanation limits as you come back home and get a series of unidentified, puerile queries which your inquisitive child will invent.

All the best!
