Ranbeer Talwar (Saif Ali Khan) is a pretty successful businessman. Though he has been pretty much the achiever at everything he has done since childhood, he has only stood to lose the people he loves. And this loner’s life takes the plunge when he ends up killing a couple (the Walias) in a road accident.
However the twist is that instead of a prison sentence, the judge hands out a controversial judgement whereby the accused 
Ranbeer is given the complete responsibility of the four kids of the deceased couple. Ranbeer realizes that this is not going to be an easy task especially with the foursome out to seek revenge. Even his bimbo girlfriend Malaika (Amisha Patel) ends up failing to win the hearts of the kids.
That is when God himself (Rishi Kapoor), dressed in all white, decides that he shall dispatch his angel down to earth to help out the kids. And he finds no better candidate than the bubbly Geeta (Rani Mukherjee). Now it is up to Geeta to pose as a nanny and ensure that she completes her task of getting Ranbeer and the kids together!
Kunal kohli does a fine job, as he rises upto expectations and proves that he can handle serious subjects like "Fanaa" alongside with such good family entertainers. Music is really enjoyable, especially "Pyar ke liye" and "Nihaal ho gayi". Rani is excellent and proves
he can do challenging roles like the fairy. Saif too looks very good with Rani. Kids are really exceptional. Item girl Amisha has nothing special to do. Rishi Kapoor does his short role well.
The drawbacks of this movie - Well, Kohli would have done better with the movie though. A typical kids flick should have avoided "Lazy Lamhe", but still it might draw some adult audience to see this item number. Special effects were used too much, and sometimes its too childish! Adults looking for some serious stuff might not be satisfied though.
Thoda pyar Thoda magic, is a very nice movie to watch, a couple of hours of emotions packed with fun and magic. Ok say, TPTM is a typical kids movie, but the movie is really an enjoyable version for adults too. I was certainly disappointed with all recent releases like "De Taali", "Sarkar Raj", and especially with flop "Mere Baap Pehle Aap" - a 
crude and cruel remake of superhit mallu movie - "Ishtam". This movie is a real life-saver for Yashraj films after Mega flops like Tashan, Aaja Nachle, and Jhoom Barabar Jhoom. This movie is soaring above expectations, as it gives a really nice ride, and i am pretty sure that this movie is a definite hit - and a family entertainer that you must watch with your family. I would really recommend this movie, a nice cute entertainer - go for it!
