(translation: A Little Love, A Little Magic)
20084/5 stars
Ranbeer (Saif Ali Khan), a recalcitrant workaholic, kills a couple in a car accident. The judge gives the unusual ruling that the four children left orphaned by the accident are to live with him. All five are miserable and pray for help. God (Rishi Kapoor) hears their pleas and sends his favorite angel, Geeta (Rani Mukerji), to help them become a family.
This is a sweet movie that, with the exception of one song, is oriented to family viewers, and gives uplifting messages about loss, prayer, and God. Khan is perfect for the role, gradually going from gruff and brooding to open and loving. He and Mukerji have good chemistry. She is her usual perky, cheerful self, and makes a delightful angel. Kapoor is excellent in his minor role. The children play their parts well. The music is average, with very little choreography. Overall, this film, while not perfect, is certainly a pleasure.
