'Rahul'

By N K Deoshi
Film critic, ApunKaChoice.Com

Rahul is a remarkable departure for Subhash Ghai from his kind of love stories. It’s a child-centric, sensitive film.

Akash (Jatin Grewal) and Meera (Neha) is a bickering couple. They part ways and their four-year-old son Rahul (Yash Pathak) is with his father. Akash does his best and doesn’t let Rahul realize the absence of his mom.

But

the little one's heart craves for his mother. Akash tells him that his mother is a bad woman and she abandoned him at birth.

One day he comes to know that his mother is a good woman. With the help of his elder friends Isha and Jumbo, Rahul meets his mom. He is unable to comprehend why his parents separated if they both love him very much.

On the other hand, Meera and Akash have now their own lives and do not want to do anything with each other. Meera even wants to fight a case in the court for Rahul's custody.

Not wanting to choose between his parents, young Rahul stands up against the odds and sets out to reunite his parents.

Prakash Jha's attempt to explore human relationships from a child's perspective is worthy of appreciation.

The film marks the debut of the ramp walker Jatin Grewal opposite Kareeb girl Neha. Though Jatin looks convincing, he needs to work upon his emotive range and his voice modulation is dreary. Neha looks improved.

It's Yash Pathak as Rahul who steals the show. The kid is natural before the camera and therefore will appeal to all.

Anu Malik's music is good too.
