What happens
Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic (transl. A Little Love, A Little Magic) is a 2008 Indian Hindi-language fantasy comedy-drama film directed by Kunal Kohli and produced by Aditya Chopra under the Yash Raj Films banner. The film stars Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukerji in lead roles, with supporting performances from Rishi Kapoor and Ameesha Patel. It also features child artists Akshat Chopra, Shriya Sharma, Rachit Sidana, and Ayushi Burman in prominent roles. The narrative follows the story of a troubled industrialist who is ordered by the court to care for four orphaned children until the arrival of a magical nanny transforms their lives. The film marked Kohli's third directorial venture with Yash Raj Films, following Mujhse Dosti Karoge! (2002) and Hum Tum (2004). Principal photography took place in Mumbai and various locations across India, with cinematography by Sudeep Chatterjee. Visual effects were incorporated for the film's fantastical elements, with character animation supervised by Tata Elxsi. The music was composed by Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy, with lyrics by Prasoon Joshi. Released theatrically on 27 June 2008, Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic received mixed reviews from critics. While the performances, especially Mukerji's, and the light-hearted tone were praised, criticism was directed at its screenplay and inconsistent storytelling. The film grossed ₹37.25 crore against a budget of ₹23 crore and was declared a commercial failure by Box Office India. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
