In India, Children’s Day is also called as ‘Bal Divas’ or ‘Bal Diwas’. The day is dedicated to children where celebrations take place in a grandeur manner in schools, colleges, housing societies and other places.
Parents shower their kids with gifts and also hang out with them jubilantly. However, if this Children’s Day, you are planning to watch a movie with your kids, we at LatestLY bring you a list of best and emotional movies that you can watch on Bal Divas 2019.
Taare Zameen Par
One of the best movies (based on children) of all times, Taare Zameen Par can be on your watch list this Children’s Day. Aamir Khan – who was a producer, director, and an actor too – in this movie, has beautifully depicted the life of an 8-year-old dyslexic child. (The letters are dancing, remember?)
Koi… Mil Gaya
The story of an intellectually disabled kid (Hrithik Roshan) and his friends touched many hearts in the film Koi… Mil Gaya. Add an alien, some superpowers and a dash of comedy into the mix, and the Rakesh Roshan-directed movie turned out to be an out-and-out entertainer! (Krrish and Krrish 3 are other options available too, if you plan to binge-watch).
I am Kalam
The story in which a poor boy is inspired by former India President APJ Abdul Kalam and then changes his name to Kalam, while harbouring his dream to meet the visionary. The movie warned accolades and won several international awards too. The movie is available on YouTube and Netflix subscription.
Stanley Ka Dabba
The movie shows how an orphan battles it out in his daily life and finds a way to success despite a phagomaniac teacher on his tail. Stanley Ka Dabba was well received by critics and audience, the child artist – Partho Gupte – even won the Best Child Artist award at National Film Awards in 2011. If you are ready for an emotional roller-coaster, then Stanley Ka Dabba should be your choice.
Chillar Party
Chillar Party is a blend of emotions, drama, comedy, fun, and learnings at the same time. The movie shows how a group of children take on the big bad world of politics when the life of one of them is in danger. Chillar Party was awarded the Best Children’s Film at 2011 National Film Award.
It is a special day for children and we hope the above list of movies make it even more special. Mr India, The Blue Umbrella, Rockford, and Paathshala are some of the other movies which you can watch on Children’s Day! We at LatestLY wish you a very ‘Happy Children’s Day 2019’.
