| Ten year old Nanhe (Dwij) earns a living to support his mum and sister by organising camel rides for tourists. Nanhe has always been an ardent fan of Bollywood star, Bobby Deol, with whom he has built a strong bond of friendship through communication by letters. When Nanhe openly declared his fascination for his idol, he was often ridiculed and disapproved by his friends and families. But when he finally comes face to face with his hero, his life suddenly changes forever. Unlike his first film, Kyon Ho Gaya Na, which focused on a young couple's romance, director Samir Karnik concentrates on pure fantasy this time round with a child artist as the main lead. A simple screenplay with no subplots to create unnecessary twists and turns, Nanhe Jaisalmer keeps you engrossed throughout, especially in scenes involving young Dwij and Bobby. Without a shadow of doubt, young talented Dwij is the main star as the adorable Nanhe. He portrays the stubbornness and vulnerability of the ten year old character with great confidence and real pride. Bobby Deol gives a subdued performance as Nanhe's idol although another actor like Salman Khan or Hrithik Roshan would be better suited for this role. This is mainly due to their strong screen presence and megastar status. On the whole, Nanhe Jaisalmer is a pure fantasy film - a children's delight this autumn.
