The movie takes a scenic journey from Mumbai to Dehdradun, Roorkee, Jaipur and Gangtok, but the plot never meanders. Whether in a train or on the road, it continues to unfold, delicately, as the two lead characters explore their new relationsh­ip in their very different ways.

This is not the Bollywood romance of flowers, bright red hearts and chocolate.

Irrfan is lovely as the charming, mildly annoying Yogi. Malayalam actress Parvathy, in her Bollywood debut, is the perfect foil and balances delicately her character’s self-dependence and the loneliness it’s caused her. This film is a winner.

Drawing on the popular 1980s toy line, My Little Pony: The Movie follows the adventures of six magical ponies who giddy up to save their realm from being destroyed by a prince of darkness.

The sparkling sextet embarks on a journey beyond Equestria in the hope of vanquishin­g the blustery villain (voiced by Liev Schreiber) and his unicorn underling (Emily Blunt),

Other anthropomo­rphic creatures thrown into the mix include a seahorse princess (Kristin Chenoweth), a pirate parrot (Zoe Saldana) and a resourcefu­l feline (Taye Diggs, the voice ensemble standout).

The voice cast also features
