Gone are the times when movies in Bollywood were made for adults and with adult actors only. Though they could be watched with and by children, the latter rarely were the focus of attention in the movies or got to act in them. Such movies are still being made but the times have changed. Now the children ‘army’ is taking over the Indian screen, thanks to the people who saw great acting talent in them and saw the need of children entertainment in Bollywood! The children are now involved in making movies at par with those by adult actors, and producing outstanding stars. Such movies, though, are still a handful!

5. Mr. India

Mr. India, directed by Shekhar Kapoor, is one of the finest movie for children. It is the first science fiction film enabling children to think creatively. The script is original. The children who acted in this movie were very natural in their role and did an excellent job. Anil Kapoor, as Shekhar Bahiya, gets the scientific gadget of his father which makes a person disappear unless he wears red clothes. The film is so grasping that many people, including children have watched it several times, as much as 30-40 times.

4. Krrish

Krrish, directed by Rakesh Roshan, puts self confidence in children. It’s a make-believe movie. Krrish, short form of ‘Krishna’, is the modern name of a village boy (Hrithik Roshan) who has super power abilities since his birth with which he tries to fight against the rogues who had kept his father (Hrithik himself) in captivity. This movie has also attracted long hours of watching by its fans.

3. Taare Zameen Par

Taare Zameen Par, directed by Aamir Khan, is about an 8-year old boy, Ishaan, who is excellent in the subject of art but does not perform well in other subjects. He is, therefore, sent to a boarding school. There, his mew teacher (Aamir Khan) finds out that the boy is dyslexic and so helps him overcome the disability. This film has won several awards nationally and has won great applause internationally. It was even nominated for the Oscar award.

2. Blue Umbrella

Blue Umbrella is directed by Vishal Bahardwaj. It is based on a story by Ruskin Bond. It won the National award for children film. A small girl, Binya (Shriya) gets a Japanese blue umbrella in exchange for her lucky charm of bear claws. Immediately, she attracts the villagers’ attention. A trader (Pankaj Kapoor) wants the umbrella and steals it but is caught by the police. Humiliated, he buys a similar red umbrella and he, too, gets the villagers’ attention immediately. It’s a great work done by the director.

1. Jajantaram Mamantaram

Jajantaram Mamantaram, produced by Soumitra Ranade, is a combined story based on a Gujarati Bakasur and Gulliver’s Travels. Aditya (Javed Jaafari), visits a mythical island and finds people there very tiny. Initially afraid of him, the tiny people become friendly with him. A giant there, made magically by the army chief there harasses them to give them whatever he wants so that he would not harm them. It is an entertaining movie for children.

We hope that more and more such children movie are made. This film are entertaining and teaches good morale to the child. Even we the adults also love the children film as well.
