Bumm Bumm Bole Movie Review

Bumm Bumm Bole (Hindi)

Starring Darsheel Safary of the 'Taare Zameen Par' fame, the film's pivotal essence is a unique brother-sister relationship. Priyadarshan has very perceptively carved out the innocent and poignant story of two siblings and the dilemmas they face in life and how they fight their way to overcome it. 'BUMM BUMM BOLE' is sure to bring out the hidden child inside all of us... Two little feet, one long journey

Priyadarshan reworks a minimalist masterwork into an overblown (and over-cute) drama. The results aren’t pretty

The New Indian Express

Bumm Bumm Bole fails entirely because it's hard to connect with the kids and their pain. There is an endearing charm to little Ziyah Vastani who plays the chatterbox sister, but it's wasted in a film that has little integrity.

The producers could’ve saved themselves all the effort and expenses, and just dubbed Children Of Heaven in Hindi instead

Hindustan Times

Bumm Bumm Bole sparks only in patches, let down by a script which allows for too many loose moments, and a strictly unnecessary item number.

Indian Express

Priyadarshan has turned it into a sombre, overlong and boring film which works for neither children nor adults. Imagine a film meant for kids having a rape attempt, plenty of violence and even an item number of sorts!

The Telegraph

The film does pale with respect to the emotional connect that the viewer has with the central child characters but other than that Priyadarshan wins in bringing out an appropriate essence of innocence from the kids.

IndiaTimes

A couple of reels and you know the director wants you to weep copiously through the film. Unfortunately, such blatant manipulative efforts have the opposite effect. One feels distant and aloof instead of empathizing with the characters

The film is on song as long as it follows the kiddie track. But the terror track does seem totally unwarranted and ends up as a jarring note in what could have been a idyllic portrait of familial bonding
