My favourite film as a child. The story is poignant. The end always makes me emotional. And I am a fan of that bald, bespectacled boy who keeps saying: " Dad,someone's look at us". His character is so hilarious.

I first watched it when I was around 8 and it made me very sad to know the little girl lost her puppy. I wouldn't spoil it. But when I watched it as an adult, I was able to appreciate it more. It's like watching it from the eyes of a child. I love the style of directing , the dialogues, the silly and goofy song and camera angles. It all works in favor of it's story telling. Really , give it a watch. You wouldn't be disappointed. It will make your heart warm. It wilI make you nostalgic (if you are an Indian 90s kid). I still haven't fulfilled my dream of adopting a dog and naming it Halo, hopefully someday.
The cinematography and editing was way ahead of its time. The child actors did a fairly decent job. I watched this as a kid and it left a lasting impression on me. I rewatched it in my 30s now and its still as effective. The final scene is tear inducing. Also, the title song used to be one of my favourites growing up. A must watch!
Halo is perhaps THE best children film I have ever seen. This is a story of a lonely girl Sasha, who lives with her father and her cousin sister, and longs for a good friend. One day a small puppy enters her house and gets very friendly with Sasha. Sasha thinks she has received the puppy from the God and names it HALO. But one day suddenly, the puppy disappears and then starts Sasha's search. The end is really very touching. The film is technically very well made by one of the greatest cinematographers of the world, Santosh Sivan. Along with that funny sequences in between make the film more interesting and watchable. Acting by Benaf Dadachanji (Sasha) is really award-winning. the film also features good performances by Sasha's father (the well known director Rajkumar Santoshi) and the bald child.

Cute Movie abt a small girl(sasha) who has lost her pet puppy during the riots of 1993 in City Of MUMBAI, India.
The movie stars with many cute kids who are in awe with little puppy which is lost during riots in mumbai ( the worst it has ever seen).real dark movie but for kids ;)
Good movie for kids
gets 10 of 10 for creativity
rarity now a days for such movies to be made
Trivia: NO one was ready to release the movie coz it was for kids but the director put the money from his pocket for the movie to be released just coz he believed that it was a good movie.
i don't want to add spoilers so nothing much to be said here please go and watch the movie
