Hawaa Hawaai
Critic reviews and ratings
-
...refreshing, unique, charming, challenging, uplifting...
-
The story-telling is fantastic, the acting a wonderful topping, and the music a wonderful final finish to the film.
-
...if it is genuine entertainment that you are looking for, your search ends here.
-
...is an endearing film for sure. It is also a statement.
-
...may seem predictable but it’s the treatment and storytelling that make it rise above the sports movie template. Sheer poetry.
-
Hawaa Hawaai's inspiring story is for children, for the child in all of us and for adults who need to wake up to dream again.
-
This is a brisk, enjoyable film...
-
...there’s so much goodness, so much warmth and such honesty in Hawaa Hawaai’s intentions, it’s hard to not have your heart melt.
-
A wonderful creation with heartrending emotions, this one's inspirational and motivating.
-
...what could have easily been the most poignant and feel good films of the year, Hawaa Hawaai proves to be just a breezy one-time watch because of its contrived second half and somewhat unconvincing and predictable screenplay.
-
While most of the film is delightful and tugs at your heart, at some points, it seemed like the screenplay has been manipulated to get the audiences’ empathy. Not such a bad thing, now only if the effort didn’t show.
-
A full throttle melodrama with a big beating heart.
-
If you liked Stanley Ka Dabba, you'll also like this.
-
This is a black-and-white, predictable film; but still watchable for the incredible child actors, the infallible underdog story, and some warm moments.
-
Spirited and heart-warming performances make Hawaa Hawaai stand out.
-
The perfect blend of emotions and drama.
-
A slim story told with heart...
-
...has a big beating heart, but you wish it had been a better film: it trundles on, leaps up intermittently, but doesn’t fly.
-
Gupte works hard to imbibe collections of moments into his storytelling; the love and conviction for his subject is indisputable. Hawaa Hawaai isn't as compelling as his previous efforts, but still merits a watch for the gratifying culture he has constructed.
-
For a film that skirts melodrama so scrupulously in the first half, the high-decibel contrivances in the latter portions come as a rude shock.
-
When the story is predictable, a tight script and screenplay needs to take charge. Sadly, it doesn’t. The film’s undoing is the expectations it rides on. This one fails to be an Amole Gupte film.
-
Despite all the good intentions, the film wallows in its goodness and left me cold by its sheer virtue.
