Hari Puttar: a disappointment
If the makers of Hari Puttar: A Comedy of Terrors would work the Harry Potter magic on India when it opened in 200 cinemas across the country on Friday, they were in for a disappointment.
JK Rowling can stop fretting; Warner Brothers can call off its legal attack dogs. India is not exactly gripped by Puttar-mania, and the only person who should be mildly miffed is Macaulay Culkin. The new movie is, indeed, a rip-off of a Hollywood children's classic, but it is Home Alone rather than Harry Potter that has provided the plot.
