While the girl goes on flaunting her blue umbrella all around this small town, to her friends and everyone, Nandkishore has his plans to swindle the umbrella from her. Biniya, though ready to share her possession with friends, steadfastly counteracts any offers attempting to part the umbrella from her possession. As she merrily goes bouncing around the village, quite a few village people would want to wrest the umbrella from her grip.
Next, the umbrella is stolen. The heartbroken girl suspects this crafty shopkeeper –Nandkishore, and she gets the policemen to ransack his shop which fails to lead to the missing blue umbrella. Well what now?
Here the inventive child Biniya carries out her own investigations to uncover her umbrella thief. The film is simple in its narrative and the proceedings become interesting after the umbrella goes missing. The story not just captivating, but heart touching too.
Child actor Shreya Sharma is remarkable and is very natural throughout the movie. Credit ought to go to the director who could manage such an unusual performance from the debutante.
The movie unfolds masterfully, though at a slow pace with the story beautifully describing issues of loss, longing, exclusion and loneliness brilliantly on the whole.
Its an engrossing film which has a well-balanced blend of fable and realism.
