Blue Umbrella

This movie for some reason is seen mis-categorized as a children's movie, I don't know why. Sure the main character is a little girl, but it is surely a movie for adults, perfect for adults looking for sensible cinema.

If you ever saw Malgudi Days and liked it, I strongly recommend you watch this movie on a unpirated disc. Cinematography is excellent, so are the actors. Pankaj Kapoor just excels, so does the umbrella and its owner.

The story has that rusticness that only the likes of R.K.Narayan and Ruskin bond(as in this case) could capture. At the right length of 90 minutes it is perfect for a relaxing evening. If you liked swami and his friends your tastes are like mine.If so go relax under the shade of this 'Blue umbrella'.

Now if you havent read 'Swami and his friends', I suggest you do so soon.
