Congrats...deserving much

[@mibangtv9338]

It brought back my childhood memories. I would read Ruskin Bond's stories all day long sitting in my room on rainy day with cup of hot coffee and I get lost into his stories. Thank you for bringing my childhood memories back. ❤️

[@nandini9811]

But when I read it in the book, the broomstick was of 10 rupees and Mr.Bond bought it in 5 rupees

[@pinkfleur3721]

Was waiting eagerly for it 😃😃😃

[@pinkfleur3721]

Amazing 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@abhin.v4981]

It brought back Harry potter memories. Loved it.

[@didhitidas.1163]

I recommend this film as the best Halloween film for all time...I waited to watch this film forever... Ruskin Bond has always been and will be forever favourite for all the lovers of witchcrafting and wizarding stories. This film gave me the best of Halloween Vibes 🌑🌫️🌫️🎃🎃👻👻

[@SahilNarulaK01]

Wow great movie. Wonderful direction, soothing music . a very light hearted movie. I don't know why but this movie gave me a positive vibe... Tom alter is good, uday ji (I like the most in this short movie) and shrenaz ji is also very good as witch. And of course the black cat. everything is looking very magical in this short film.

[@manishamanoj5004]

does justice to Mr Bond's writing. Waiting for more of his short stories to be made into short films.

[@thedivadavid834]

Brilliant...wish it was longer. More from you please.

[@6383rpuller]

Good one

[@mukulfaiz]

Wonderful !!! I had been waiting since long for this film. This would be Tom Alter's last work.

[@spideresque]

That was a fun film. Blessings and peace to Tom Alter, thank you all your great work.

[@sy-en]

Came here after reading a newspaper. Since this was released on children's day, I must say it is a delight to see Mr. Tom Alter as Ruskin Bond in this short story.

[@anuraajbarua5596]

Amazingly shot.... Wonderfully edited... And the acting just projected itself so well... Congratulations and well done.

[@mecytotoxic]

[@_iam.iam.iam._]

I am a Great Potterhead, also a Ruskin Bond fan, so this is so perfect for me. Love It :-) This is also in my class VI text book. There the price of broomstick was Rs. 3 and Mr. Bond bought it for Rs. 2

[@grey_skies3]

Purrfect for a cold rainy evening wth some brandy....the end credits were creatively done

[@sarthakjoshi9549]

I haven't seen anything like this in Indian cinema yet!!! It's so unique and well made. Best Indian short film of 2017.

[@simpooishere]

A story which bewitches you from start till end without losing its essence when converted to frames. It was a delight to see Tom. Set design and camera work was quite excellent.

[@dp_kundu]

Whole folm was very good but last static shot witch in her room ruined the mood. There shld hv been hand held shots fr that scene. That shild hv also shown effrt done by art director fr that scene. Rest is all good.

[@paragmankar3621]

It's excellent.Gave harry Potter feeling.but please can anyone tell me what does the last window scene indicate

[@pookiecookie02]

I am wondering that too...

[@rajibchowdhury8537]

[@anitsingh4173]

My story telling teacher is tell me this story so interesting story

[@kirtipriya12]

Not as good as the short story but it is fine. Nobody can take place of Ruskin Bond ever. Even the best actor in the world cannot enact his role.

[@trapbrothers967]

[@harshitgupta1729]

Lovely work, Bhargav. Have been a fan of Mr Bond's writing for a long time, and was happy to see the simple yet beautiful adaptation. Keeps you hooked. And the best part, the movie maintains that simplicity, that feeling Bond's stories have. Hope you work on more such stories. All the Best. :)
