Movie review

From Time Out New York

Bollywood filmmaker Kunal Kohli’s spin on Mary Poppins finds hotshot businessman Ranbeer (Khan) in a fine predicament: Responsible for a car accident that killed the upstanding Mr. and Mrs. Wallia, he’s ordered by an unconventional judge to raise their four grieving and resentful children. Ranbeer’s beauty-queen girlfriend (Amisha Patel) can’t cope, and the kids are a handful until God sends nanny Geeta (Mukherjee) to make things right. It’s not too cloying for a movie about orphans, angels and cute pets; pray that Hollywood doesn’t buy the remake rights.
