Gattu
U; Drama
Cast: Jayanta Das, Harshit, Mohit
Dir: Rajan Khosa
Rating: *** and 1/2 (out of 5)

This film doesn’t have a superstar like in Taare Zameen Par, neither does it have an item number like in Chillar Party. It does not have the preachy tones, the hamming, or the exceptionally mean adults of most Hindi children’s films as we know them. Yet Gattu stands tall, albeit on a handicapped foot. Gattu is not a fantasy, yet it’s magical. It is not a real life story, but it’s real, so real that you can touch it. And you will be touched too.u00a0

Technically, this review could be one line long. Gattu is a really wonderful, sweet film. You must go and watch it. There, you have the verdict. But it’s not enough, is it? Readers will want to know why. And so here are the reasons.
