How many children’s’ films have we seen that dole out a message to the audience at large without using some superstar as a crutch?
Most of the films made for kids today use a famous celebrity in the lead. Makers of films like Taare Zameen Par, Bhoot Uncle, Bhootnath starred Aamir Khan, Jackie Shroff and Amitabh Bachchan respectively to prop up their films.
However debutant filmmaker Ravi Bhatia is making an-all children film titled 2 Little Indians. Touted to be a family entertainer, the film targets children in general. The director has cast children in the lead and has also relied on them to bring out the desired social message through their eyes.
The all-child starrer does not use a mega star to take the film to the next level -that of success; he has made children the centre point of his film and has conveyed his message through them. Through the film, Ravi throws light on the subject of our nation and our obligation towards it that is by serving our country.
Avers Ravi, “The kids have done an amazing job and we all are happy to see the results. It was only possible after hard work, we are getting very good response by people and now we are thinking to release worldwide this small budget Hindi movie.”
When one thinks of a film for children, one immediately thinks that it will be a complete entertainer filled with instances of fun and frolic. The Ravi Bhatia film, however, has everything that qualifies it as an entertainer; it also bears a very important thought that the director feels is important in today’s times.
Bhatia, who has previously been a very successful ad maker with more than 300 advertisements to boast about, is debuting in filmmaking with 2 Little Indians.
