Hari Puttar - A Comedy of Terrors Movie Preview


"He is only a kid." is something that is heard ever too often. But when a kid displays the valour and wit that is no child's play and the presence of mind that belies his age, it certainly is no kidding matter. Hari Puttar is the awe-inspiring story of one such kid.

Hari Prasad Dhoonda (Zain Khan) or Hari Puttar, as he is fondly called, is a bright 10 year old who has recently moved from India to the U.K. with his parents (Sarika and Zakir Khan). His father, Prof. Dhoonda is assigned to work on a secret project with the Defense Forces at a remote location in the U.K. He has access to confidential information that is stored on a chip and safely kept at his house.

Within days of their arrival in London, Hari's aunt (Lilette Dubey) and uncle DK (Jackie Shroff) visit the Dhoonda residence with their own as well DK's boss' children. Suddenly, the house is filled with the effervescence of no less than ten kids. At this point, everything goes for a spin for Hari Puttar. Not only is he thrown out of his room to accommodate the girls, he is also ragged and ridiculed by all the other kids for being too naive. Hari Puttar suddenly feels unwanted, undermined and unappreciated.

To top it, even as DK arranges a vacation for the entire family, one night before they take off, Hari's mother sends him off to the attic bedroom as a punishment for no big fault of his. As luck would have it, the next morning, the whole family leaves in a tearing hurry, forgetting that they have left something integral behind - Namely Hari and his little cousin Tuk Tuk (Swini Khara). But this realization does not dawn until they are halfway into their journey.

With his innovative plans , determined wit, and with able support from Tuk Tuk, Hari Puttar manages to not only save the secret chip but also captures the two unsuspecting thugs.

Spoilsport SMS reveals 'Ghajini' climax

New Delhi, Dec 22(IANS) Just when the audiences started queuing up for booking their tickets for Aamir Khan-starrer 'Ghajini', a chain SMS started playing spoilsport by revealing what could possibly be the climax of the film.

'Someone killed Aamir's girlfriend and he lost his memory. Then he tries to find out the killer. Suspense… Aamir himself is the killer. Now enjoy 'Ghajini'!' says the SMS that has been doing the rounds on the mobile phones for the past few days.


Whether the SMS is true would only be clear once the film releases Friday. However, several people have received this SMS through known as well as unknown sources.


Says 22-year-old Surbhi Pant: 'I received this SMS a few days back. I was very irritated after reading it because I wanted to watch the film. Now I don't know if it is true or not. Just in case this is the story of the film, I would be really disappointed, as I know the plot now. Eventually, I thought I should forward it to all my friends.'


The film is the much-hyped Hindi remake of director A.R. Murugadoss' Tamil hit with the same name.


While the original 'Ghajini' featured southern actor Surya Sivakumar along with actress Asin Thottumkal, Murugadoss cast Aamir to play the main lead in the Hindi version and repeats Asin in female lead.


'Ghajini' is the love story of a rich businessman Sanjay Singhania (Aamir) and a model Kalpana (Asin). The story takes a U-turn when Kalpana is murdered and Sanjay suffers temporary amnesia due to a brain injury. Sanjay's character sets out to take revenge from those responsible for Kalpana's death.


While in the Tamil version of 'Ghajini', Sanjay finds the murderer and completes his revenge by killing him; the ending has been altered in the Hindi version.
