Ranbeer Talwar(Saif Ali Khan) has pretty much lost everyone he’s loved since he was child. So now he doesn’t have much use for love and relationships in his life. A self made man, his roaring business is his life.
Till his cool BMW rams into a car one evening and kills the Walias leaving their 4 kids orphans.
And then gets saddled with playing guardian to the Walia kids till they are adults….and be good with them or he gets thrown into jail for 20 years.
Which is exactly what the kids want. Bent upon revenge, they make way to Ranbeer’s house to make life hell for him.
A few days in and both Ranbeer and his bimbo girlfriend. Malaika(Ameesha Patel) have had enough and are desperately looking for a nanny for the kids.
Lo behold! God(Rishi Kapoor) decides the perfect way to make life rosy for Ranbeer and the kids is to send Geeta(Rani Mukheerji), an angel who follows no rules and wants to know why humans cry, down to earth to play nanny.
So Geeta rides down a rainbow on a bicycle, changes into a tacky outfit which pretty much works as her nanny uniform n uses plenty of magic(though she isn’t supposed to) to get the kids and Ranbeer together. And make Malaika baby disappear.
Soon all is good but that means that it’s time for Geeta to go back to the heaven and she doesn’t want to. Neither does Ranbeer who’s in love with Geeta. So does God answer Geeta’s prayers and let her stay back?
Not sure if it was intended that way but Thoda Pyaar is strictly for kids and they too might not be too happy with the tacky special effects given they get regular doses of Cartoon Network and Animax.
Kunal Kohli does have a flair for casting kids though. After the adorable Rehaan in Fanna he comes up with a likable bunch who manage to endear without ever getting on your nerves.
Saif Ali Khan barely gets to be alive. Poor guy’s made to whisper in a bid to appear aloof but comes into his element when he gets to bond with the children.
God bless for making Rani Mukherjee an angel who can’t cry. It is certainly pleasant to see her all clear eyed for once! She has a good time bonding with the children and their chemistry shows through.
Did she get Vidya Balan to design her wardrobe though????
Ameesha Patel in a quick cameo excels as a social ladder climbing airhead.
So does Rishi Kapoor…though for God he hardly gets to say a thing
Ok movie but certainly not for adult viewing ![]()
