tourists from Japan, trades in her bear-tooth amulet with a blue

remains: where did Biniya's umbrella disappear to, and will she ever ...

one of the best Hindi movie....go watch it..
This movie is basically
based on a novel written by famous writer Ruskin Bond. The movie is
about a little girl Bindiya residing in a hilly state Himachal
Pradesh... .....she gets a blue umbrella from some foreigners and then
drama starts. The acting of Pankaj (khatri in movie) is superb. I truly
recommend all of you this movie....go watch it. I watched this movie 2
years back and believe me that i decided never to delete it from my hard
disk. Song sung by famous singer Sukhwinder-Barfan is worth to listen..
I love this movie because it touches my nerves and i love that place
where this movie has been made. Quality of comedy is also good. Movie is
good from starting till end. Acting by all the actors is good.
