| 13 | Made by the veteran director Appachan’s son, |
| 14 | this box-office hit is a fantasy film designed to |
| 15 | show off its special effects in India’s first 3-D |
| 16 | movie. Kuttichathan is a mischievous genie |
| 17 | living in an abandoned house. He is |
| 18 | accidentally summoned by a group of children |
| 19 | and appears in the guise of a boy who carries |
| 20 | out all their wishes. This allows the director to |
| 21 | stage scenes of children walking on the ceiling, |
| 22 | speeded-up rickshaw rides and various other |
| 23 | spectacular episodes. Sentiment is catered for |
| 24 | by having the genie cure one child’s father of |
| 25 | alcoholism. The genie eventually changes into |
| 26 | a fox-bat and flies off. A dubbed Hindi version, |
| 27 | Chhota Chetan, was also successful. |
