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
Trust Priyadarshan to murder a film. This time though, he proves he can do worse. He rapes the film of all its dignity before killing it in cold blood. He stirs up all the emotions of the original in a blender and comes up with a uniform emotion splattered all over the film - heavy melodrama. He makes a mockery of the tasteful depiction of the rich-poor divide of the original through caricaturish characters. The father-son relationship that was built out of concern, innocence & strength in the face of adversity in the original is changed into one of frustration, admonition & fear in this one. The original showed a nuanced brother-sister relationship with playful sibling rivalry, affection & concern. Priyan clouds all the nuances with the heavy influence of the "Original Indian Value" of Tyaag (Sacrifice).
