one of the best Hindi movie....go watch it..

This movie is basically based on a novel written by famous writer Ruskin Bond. The movie is about a little girl Bindiya residing in a hilly state Himachal Pradesh... .....she gets a blue umbrella from some foreigners and then drama starts. The acting of Pankaj (khatri in movie) is superb. I truly recommend all of you this movie....go watch it. I watched this movie 2 years back and believe me that i decided never to delete it from my hard disk. Song sung by famous singer Sukhwinder-Barfan is worth to listen.. I love this movie because it touches my nerves and i love that place where this movie has been made. Quality of comedy is also good. Movie is good from starting till end. Acting by all the actors is good.

A paper thin story which could only be enhanced by severe editing

I wonder if some ritual symbolism was embedded in this film which was altogether too subtle or perhaps too exotic for me to interpet. There are moments of stunning visual imagery, unusual and interesting landscapes and some wonderful acting, but while many Indian films do sustain and entertain you for three hours or more, I actually found it quite difficult to remain interested throughout this tale. Ultimately, it seemed to me that the allure of the umbrella escapes both Biniya and Khatri and perhaps there is a message in there about not wasting too much time and energy on material possessions - who knows, I think this film winds up being too timid and too meandering for anyone to be certain
