Isn’t it sad that there barely are Hindi films that cater exclusively to kids? So much so it wouldn’t be an overstatement if we say that Bollywood generally makes films for adults while expecting kids to watch it too. (Let’s not even get into the debate about how consistent the censor board is regarding film certification nowadays.) Regardless, every once in a while, a movie walks along and it tries to be different by being simple and direct. Its lack of ambition might work against it but it gives its everything into sticking with the set path. Fortunately, we are talking about a children’s film here. Furthermore, Take It Easy makes an impressive attempt in this regard and in doing so, delivers a strong message as well. However, it lacks finesse and doesn’t focus on cutting down its drag factor. It could have been a lower budgeted version of Taare Zameen Par (2007) but it doesn’t aim that high.
