Zokkomon doesn't make full use of its potential.

Not only has a light, fanciful touch and superior production design but also more substance and cohesiveness than much Bollywood fare.

Safary brings loads of energy and goodwill to the action, while Fadnis adds another angle to her growing filmography.

A young boy named Kunal is presumed dead after his wicked uncle fakes his death to receive Kunal's inheritance. Kunal then comes back as a superhero "ghost" to fight his uncle's corruption and superstition. This film relies too heavily on the montage to get through the story. Because of this, the characters do not interact enough for the audience to really enjoy their relationships. There is a random diegetic musical number in the middle of the movie that seems out of place, though I understand that is a Bollywood thing. The special effects are decent. The acting is not that great and doesn't sell the characters' emotions well. A movie worth skipping.

The second half of the film won me over. I wasn't liking 'Zokkomon' all that much up until that moment, it was a little all over the place due to it's messy plot and conflicting tone. Once, however, the cat gets let out the bag and the film's poster becomes relevant it actually turns into an enjoyable watch. Darsheel Safary is a solid choice to play Kunal, he has the cheeky but good side that's necessary. Anupam Kher is also noteworthy in this, though I have two weird things to note about him: I had no idea he was playing a dual role and didn't click that he portrays Jess' father in 2002's 'Bend It Like Beckham'. Not sure how I didn't realise at least one of those two things... The special effects are excellent, I thought - particularly for Zokkomon. The score and cinematography are nothing special, but there is one tremendous shot featuring a train going past a waterfall at one point; the song "Suno Brother" fits well for its montage, also. Improved writing and a most consistent plot would've elevated my feelings towards this. Still, it's a film I did just about enjoy.

An exciting, brave, adventurous superhero film. Zokkomon is innovative, powerfully moving, tense, taut and energetic and heroic. Darsheel truly shines as Zokkomon. It certainly shows a true story of friendship, betrayal, finding family and finding your inner hero. The music also sounds super heroic.

Zokkomon entertains in its superhero premise while warming the hearts of those who watch it.

disney junky film. Was looking forward to a traditional / magical Indian film. Instead got some re-hashed disney cinderalla/hero story not worth them time.
