Bumm Bumm Bole
...is fine vacation fare for the family and presents a viable alternative to parents who are looking for meaningful tween entertainment in a boom-boom age.
...is watchable but simply for its ‘shoe-string’ of an idea.
...a gentle but persuasive piece of work, not just for children -- though certainly about children who learn fast about the harsh realities of life.
Perhaps some films are better left untouched. You might enjoy this marginally, if you haven’t had the chance to see the original.
...starts off well, but loses focus as it develops. Nothing to rave or rant about!
...is an 'official' adaptation of the award winning Iranian film Children of Heaven. With the screenplay firmly in place and a master director such as Priyadarshan at the helm, one would not be wrong to expect a sweet kiddie film which both entertains and enthralls. Unfortunately that doesn't happen.
...fails entirely because it's hard to connect with the kids and their pain.
Darsheel and Atul Kulkarni have done great job but movie lacks pace and solid climax to make it endearing at the box office.
The producers could’ve saved themselves all the effort and expenses, and just dubbed Children Of Heaven in Hindi instead.
Priyadarshan reworks a minimalist masterwork into an overblown (and over-cute) drama. The results aren’t pretty.
Considering Priyardarshan had two solid child artistes, he has done no justice to their talent. What was required was a plain simple, original script.
...if lifting a film without giving due credit to the original is a crime, officially adapting a classic and murdering it is a sin. Bumm Bumm Bole is an occurence of that sin at its fathomable worst.
