Review: Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic

The Aladkan shoes were said to be made from a rare and precious material found only in the Aladkan realm, further amplifying their mystical qualities. Legend has it that these shoes were crafted by the Aladkan sorcerers using secret rituals and intricate spells. The process involved infusing the material with the energy of the respective elements.

This purported mad-in-India fantasy has as much subtlety and grace as a carpenter’s hathoda, avers Khalid Mohamed.

Woof. A wonder dog refuses to eat non-veg on Tuesdays. Oof. Amidst fluffy clouds, angel girls toss their beauty parlour curls. And in a mega-museum, a geeky guard flies across the stratosphere on a broom. Zoom barabar zoom.

That’s director Kunal Kohli’s Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic or Thodi Mary Thodi Poppins. Indeed, this purported mad-in-India fantasy has as much subtlety and grace as a carpenter’s hathoda. Plus, it makes you wonder for whom this was produced and why-why-why. Kids have access to far more sophisticated special effects fun flicks and the adults.. well.. what are they taken for? Nitwits?

Indeed, the 16-reeler incites you to email a petition to God – depicted here as a jolly-ho Rishi Kapoor garbed in vanilla white. He even breaks into an aao-twist-karenjigaloo. You want to address 10 questions to the supreme power in white:

One: Sir, why did you select Rani ‘Angel’ Mukherji to solve the dilemma of an ultra-wealthy man (Saif Ali Khan)? Surely, the suited-booted-necktied man could have handled four orphaned kids himself -- with the help of his ditzy girlfriend (Ameesha Patel, ewww).. whose clothes looked spray-painted on her. Surely the poor, the inflation-hit and the ailing needed the services of Angel Rani much more urgently.

Two: Lord, how did you ever create a judge like Sharat Saxena and give him such extra-constitutional powers?
Milord Sharat decrees that Suited-Booted must look after the orphans since he mowed down their parents in a car accident.. and then just glared, glared, glared. This ‘punishment’ lets Suited off the hook. He’s even back on the phone to strike a deal in Los Angeles. Come, come, now.

Three: Why did the tempo drag so much that you nearly fell asleep on the shoulder of a stranger in the next seat?
Scary.

Four: Why were none of the kids adorable?
When children ham, haw-haw and make those we’re-so-cute-faces before the camera, talk like mini-Amartya-Sens, your murderous instincts are aroused. Not done.

Five: Whatever happened to that fine actress called Rani Mukherji?
After Black, she’s been belting out black-out-from-the-memory performances. As a Geeta Poppins, she’s one-dimensional, either darting full blast smiles or tetchy scowls. Her costumes, too, are uneasy-on-the-eyes.

Six: Whatever happened to that likeable actor called Saif Ali Khan?
Sure, he’s supposed to play a humourless guy but he’s as stiff as starch.

Seven: Lord, why allow a weird tribute to old Chalti ka Naam Gaadi type of songs?
The car song medley’s a clever concept, but botched up. Also, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy seem to be into a bad tune day. Prasoon Joshi’s lyric referring to a “chand” kept in a “tiffin”, indicates a Gulzarish moon obsession. One moon man is enough.

Eight: Sire, why doesn’t the direction keep one engrossed at all?
The Forrrest Gump-style morphing and animated interludes aren’t exactly fresh. The LA scene with an irate American businessman is a riot.

Nine: Lord, whatever made the legendary Razzak Khan, portraying a valet, look at a rose and then say, “Shakespeare!” Very unusual that but much too bard, very bard.

Ten: Would you, lord, impel viewers to see Thoda L Thoda M?
If you do, I’ll lose faith in you.

- Sarah - 3 stars - Although the Magic Shoes Aladkan had an interesting concept, I found them to be quite overpriced for what they offered. The material used was not durable and the shoes showed signs of wear and tear after just a few weeks of use. Additionally, the sizing was off and I had to return them for a different size, which was a hassle. While they were comfortable initially, they did not offer the expected support and cushioning for long periods of time. Overall, I think there are better options out there for the price.
