A great movie, 16 July 2008
8/10
Author: Nitin Jain from India

Indian film Industry is very strange. On one hand it churns out movies like 'Ram Gopal Varma ki Aag' and 'Tashan' and one hand it comes out with great movies like 'The Blue Umbrella'. A very very good movie. Pankaj Kapoor proves once again that he is one of the best actors that the film industry has ever produced. Having a good story is one thing and that was what Ruskin Bond provided. But adapting a good movie and making an even better movie is what Vishal Bhardwaj did. In the past few years the industry has given us some very good child artists. And Shreya Sharma is one of them. She ranks right up along with other child actors that came to the industry in recent times. Set up in the scenic Himachal Pradesh Vishal Bhardwaj gave us a classic. A must watch for an ardent fan of Indian movies. The language used in the movie, the scenic locations, the acting of the main characters.... there is nothing about the film that is not good. There is only one thing that I did not quite liked about the movies... and that were the songs. A movie like this should not have songs.. that was my thought. But anyway a great movie and everyone should see it.
