Movie Review: My Friend Ganesha
hindi cinema is truly evolving. Diverse themes are being narrated on celluloid by dream merchants. Technology too is slowly being given importance these days. We aren't 'there', but the Hindi film industry has started taking baby steps. The process has begun!
In the past, BHAGGMATI - THE QUEEN OF FORTUNES and HUM TUM merged live characters and animation in the narrative. The success of HANUMAN triggered off the trend of animation films here. Now MY FRIEND GANESHA takes the story ahead.
Let's get one thing straight before you read further. When you switch on a kiddie TV channel, you know what to expect: Programs that cater to this segment of viewers. Similarly, when you saunter into the auditorium to watch MY FRIEND GANESHA, it would be foolhardy to expect path-breaking or ground-breaking stuff vis-à-vis its content.
MY FRIEND GANESHA knows its target audience -- kids and kid at heart. So don't wear your thinking caps to introspect every frame of the film. The film is watchable because it doesn't get preachy. Sure, the sub-plots running parallel with the main story should've been far more convincing, but the moment Lord Ganesha is introduced in the plotline, things only get better.
