Hava Aney Dey Movie Review :
This film review are Mostly Positive from Critics, IMDB Public Reviewing site give 6.2 Star Out Of 10 Star with Reviewers are 100.
Interesting drama based on the lives of two teenagers from Mumbai with the impending Indo-Pak war in the background. Dreams of two friends to leave for a better life in a far away land. Interesting take on the lower middle class teen’s of India. With one of the most unusual ending, leaves you wanting for more.
This one’s certainly worth a watch. Its been almost a decade since this film was made, don’t understand a reason for it to be banned. The controversial parts of the movies are really mellowed down. If the censor board still finds something wrong with it, i would say they must be watching a different film altogether.
