With its striking appearance, the blue umbrella is now craved by the whole of village. In quest of it, the villagers lose their calmness. The umbrella is presumed to be mythical and provides immense luck and power to the one who possessed it. In this case, it is Bindiya.
Tragedy strikes one day, when the umbrella goes missing. Who could have stolen it? Is it the villagers or the cunning tea stall owner Khatri.
Vishal Bharadwaj, who had earlier made Makdee for children, attempts another film belonging to the similar genre. He manages to extract convicing performances from all his characters.
The characters are well sketched. The plot succeeds in passing on a message in the end. The second half of the film is grasping compared to the first half.Though, a few cuts in the second half could have carried the narration effectively. Sachin Kumar Krishnan’s cinematography is not upto the mark. Many scenes have lost their magnetism due to poor lighting.
Actingwise, Shreya Sharma delivers a wonderful performance. The first timer brings in a lot of freshness onscreen. Pankaj Kapur is at his usual best, delivering a flawless performance. The supporting cast do justice to the characters they play.
Over 35% of India’s population is under 15 years of age, and film makers should target this sector by churning out more such films catering to children every year. On the box office, the film will find it hard to impress, but on the faces of children it will bring an endearing smile.
