 "He
is only a kid…" is something that is heard ever too
often. But when a kid displays the valor and wit that
is no child's play and the presence of mind that
belies his age, it certainly is no kidding matter.
Hari Puttar is the awe-inspiring story of one such
kid. Hari Prasad Dhoonda (Zain Khan) or Hari Puttar,
as he is fondly called, is a bright 10 year old who
has recently moved from India to the U.K. with his
parents (Sarika and Zakir Khan). His father, Prof.
Dhoonda is assigned to work on a secret project with
the Defense Forces at a remote location in the U.K. He
has access to confidential information that is stored
on a chip and safely kept at his house.
Within days of their arrival in London, Hari's aunt (Lilette
Dubey) and uncle DK (Jackie Shroff) visit the Dhoonda
residence with their own as well DK's boss' children.
Suddenly, the house is filled with the effervescence
of no less than ten kids. At this point, everything
goes for a spin for Hari Puttar. Not only is he thrown
out of his room to accommodate the girls, he is also
ragged and ridiculed by all the other kids for being
too naïve. Hari Puttar suddenly feels unwanted,
undermined, and unappreciated.
To top it, even as DK arranges a vacation for the
entire family, one night before they take off, Hari's
mother sends him off to the attic bedroom as a
punishment for no big fault of his. As luck would have
it, the next morning, the whole family leaves in a
tearing hurry, forgetting that they have left
something integral behind - Namely Hari and his little
cousin Tuk Tuk (Swini Khara). But this realization
does not dawn until they are halfway into their
journey.
When Hari and Tuk Tuk discover that they have the
large house to themselves, they begin to enjoy the
sudden freedom.
Meantime, an infamous don, Kali Mirchi, assigns two
bumbling burglars (Saurabh Shukla & Vijay Raaz) to
steal the secret formula chip from Hari's house. Hari
accidentally discovers the mission of the burglars and
is determined to save the secret formula from being
exposed.
 The
so called naïve Hari Puttar embarks on a journey of
great adventure and suddenly discovers the
self-confidence, creativity and gumption that he did
not know he possessed…With his innovative plans ,
determined wit, and with able support from Tuk Tuk,
Hari Puttar manages to not only save the secret chip
but also captures the two unsuspecting thugs.
Hari's mother in the meanwhile, desperate to get back
to Hari goes through her own adventure to reach back
home… And when she does, she finds that she had left
behind a son …and had come back to a little hero.
