Plot

[edit]

Indrajeet lives with his grandfather Acharya , a magician in Mayapuri. The boy's mother died when he was an infant. Acharya teaches him magic, but never sent him to school for formal education. Indrajeet's father Krishna, who runs a successful Indian channel in the United States, arrives up to take his son for education. Indrajeet refuses to leave his grandfather, but is forcibly sent to New York City via carton.

Indrajeet awakens in New York City where he has been brought against his will. He meets his stepmother Deepti, but soon runs away and befriends three runaway orphans and a wonder dog who belongs to Mahesh and Lude, two petty thieves. Meanwhile, Acharya comes to New York City in search of his grandson. Indrajeet gets kidnapped by the thieves, but ultimately Acharya, along with the dog, saves his grandson using all his magic tricks.

Reception

[edit]

Sify stated that it "is technically tacky, made in a shoddy manner and lacks a basic story line that will not gel with today's children".[9] However, Idlebrain.com said, "Don't forget to take kids along with you. They need to watch this movie more than you!!".[6] The film won the National Film Award for Best Special Effects.[10]
