Another Saif Ali Khan (don't worry I'm running out of his films) and Rani Mukerji film! Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic is a play on The Sound of Music/Marry Poppins/Nanny McPhee but brings enough to the table to make it its own. The concept of the plot is a strange but they make it work. Ranbeer gets in a car accident killing a husband and wife and then is sentenced to provide for the four children they left behind. Not the best judgement considering you're asking four children to go and live with the person who killed your parents and the judge stipulated that they couldn't be sent to boarding school and they had to travel with him. The children at first want to do everything possible to make Ranbeer's life a living hell so in order to save the situation after all involved cry out to God we see God himself in the form of Rishi Kapoor and his naughty angel Geeta. The song we're treated to is fun to the point that you don't even mind the bad graphics.
Of course the whole point of the film is to have them all, the children, Ranbeer and Geeta become a family which is what happens by the end. Ranbeer is able to get to each of the kids in small ways and only has the eldest to contend with. I loved the scene where Ranbeer is complaining about his girlfriend and asks one of the children if she would be his girlfriend. It was cute. Once the girlfriend is gone through a whole lot of manipulation and naughty children Ranbeer is of course free to find love with Geeta. The only problem is that Geeta is an angel without feelings or at least being able to show those feelings. Ranbeer and the kid's love for Geeta persuades God to make her human.
I enjoyed the film a lot. It was fun and although a bit of a rehash of other films it managed to stand alone.
