At first glance, this movie seems like a typical underdog-success story we have all seen on the screen so many times. But the fact that Amole Gupte has lent his magic to this venture is enough reason in itself to check out what Hawaa Hawaai is all about.
Continuing with his field of expertise, Amole brings to us yet another endearing story about children. Arjun Waghmare (Partho Gupte) at first glance is yet another chai-wala kid in Mumbai – the many Chotus and Rajus that you see daily. And like every other kid, he has dreams – dreams that no amount of hardship can break. When Arjun sets his eyes on the skates for the first time, he feels a happiness he hasn’t in a long time. But for a kid who can barely afford a meal two times a day, skating seems like a pretty expensive dream.

In the film Hawaa Hawaai, young Partho's roller skating coach is played by Saqib Salim.
However, Partho's real-life coach on whom Saqib's character is modeled to, is Ajay Shivlani who runs the skating school Rollfit in Mumbai.
Partho who learnt rollerskating from scratch for his role as the underprivileged dreamer Arjun Harishchandra Waghmare is now so adept at the sport of his training that the boy intends to pursue skating long after the film will be released and over.
His appreciative coach Shivlani says, "It's very rare that any coach would get such an opportunity to be a part of a full fledged film that promotes one's sport and gives credibility to his passion. We did have someone like Arjun Harishchandra Waghmare in our class. Only he didn't have a past like the film, was from not so lucky background but was raring to accomplish his dream in the world of speed skating.
