About time filmmakers stopped second-guessing kids by making films they think children would like, instead of taking the trouble to find out what they indeed want to watch.Aao Wish Karein, inspired from the Tom Hanks starrer Big, is the kind of film its misguided makers seem convinced kids will enjoy. Good luck with that, considering it's a painfully predictable, sickeningly romantic, unfunny film that talks down to kids as if they're stupid little creatures who don't deserve anything smarter.I'm going with one out of five for director Glen Barretto's Aao Wish Karein; to be honest, I've seen fifth standard students put up school-plays more entertaining than this!Visit Site for MoreRatings:2/5 Reviewer:Nikhat Kazmi Site:TimesOfIndia
the film fails to decide its core audience. Is it a kiddie's flick or is it meant for the bada log? If so, there's too much of the baba log in the film (the children's track is too long) and too little of the adult stuff (like, how does a 12-turned-21 handle his hormones). This makes the film waddle in no-man's land. Obviously inspired by Tom Hanks 1988 classic (Big) that was nominated for two Oscars, the film lacks all the masala that made Penny Marshal's film such a winsome experience. Also, the romance between Aftab and Aamna is quite thanda. Thoda aur wish karein?Visit Site for MoreRatings:1.5/5 Reviewer:Taran Adarsh Site:BollywoodHungama
It's not sacrilegious if a film bears an uncanny resemblance to another film [it could be a coincidence], but films like these need to be well-structured and most importantly, supported by incredible actors who can make you believe in fairy tales. Also, the makers ought to take a stand at the very outset: Should it be targeted at kids or youth? You just cannot sit on the fence. In this case, you don't know if AAO WISH KAREIN is aimed at the kids or is it a breezy romantic flick, targeted at the youth. All said, AAO WISH KAREIN has some endearing moments, but not enough to salvage it.Visit Site for More
