Hawaa Hawaai

As much as I liked the film, there were a few loop holes like the pace of the film. Also in some parts the plot jumps suddenly. Though this isn't really a major problem, more precision would have certainly helped the film quite a lot. To sum it up, Hawaa Hawaai is one of the biggest examples of modern cinema and should have its rightful existence amongst a plethora of big budget films. Watch it for the thought invested in the project if not for anything else.

Hawaa Hawaai is the ideal combination of comedy and drama. The movie tackles serious topics in a light-hearted manner. It also has good music and brilliant acting, making it the perfect package.

HAWAA HAWAAI is refreshing, unique, charming, challenging, uplifting... HAWAA HAWAAI bares its soul! Let your kids take flight this summer, with HAWAA HAWAAI. Take a bow, Amole Gupte... we need more films like these.

The story-telling is fantastic, the acting a wonderful topping, and the music a wonderful final finish to the film. Make sure you watch this one, and it's not just for the kids, it's a must-watch for the adults too.

Hawaa Hawaai is an endearing film for sure. It is also a statement. The film speaks for the director's apparent ease with subjects involving a child. It affirms that writing Taare Zameen Par was not a fluke. And neither was making Stanley ka Dabba. This is one director who knows his emotions. Enjoy this Hawaa Hawaai. Be inspired!

The film is not flawless; yes, there are some clichés and some needless pandering to Muslim sentiments reminiscent of the movies of the 1970s. But I am willing to overlook those because this is a film with a heart.

...a gem that shouldn't be missed. A wonderful creation with heartrending emotions, this one's inspirational and motivating. Strongly recommended!

Everyone who cribs that Bollywood doesn't attempt good films, must go see this.

It's a film that will touch your heart but it could have been much better had the focus been just the story. Looks like the emphasis is sometimes only on making you feel bad for the subject which, should come naturally and not be so in your face.

Hawaa Hawaai runs the risk of being compared to Gupte's previous works but as a standalone it is without doubt one of the most brilliant works of recent times. Subtle and empowering with delectable performances of Saqib & Partho adding power to the film, here's one ultimately satisfying movie that will win you over with its bittersweet and spirited work. I am going with a 3.5/5 recommending that you don't miss this one.

A few dramatic moments notwithstanding, Haawa Hawaai is eminently worth a watch. Get, set, go!

There's so much goodness, so much warmth and such honesty in Hawaa Hawaai's intentions, it's hard to not have your heart melt. Chances are, the film will also make you want to put on those rolling skates, even though at the risk of landing you hard on your behind or – as Gochi calls it – "naram naram bun pav".

HH's inspiring story is for children, for the child in all of us and for adults who need to wake up to dream again. Amol Gupte's story is soulful, heart-breaking and hopeful - moving you from tears to deep thought. He skillfully creates a portrait of the lives of deprived children - with profundity and playfulness.

Hawaa Hawaai is a special film, and there was a need to promote it in a special way. However, there is hardly any buzz about the film. The film is releasing with 5 other Bollywood films this week, so it is hard for it stand out. If you are a lover of simple cinema, go for it. You can also wait for the movie to get TV premier.
