Aabra Ka Daabra

Shanu Singh lives a middle-class lifestyle with his dad, Rahul, and mom, Shivani. Rahul is a magician and performs Houdini-like tricks. Once while being locked in an iron cask and thrown into the sea, he does not surface and everyone believes he is dead, leaving Shanu to become a waiter in Dilbaug's Dhaba, while Shivani becomes a governess to Pinky, who is the daughter of Sindhi businessman, Maneklal. Shanu and Pinky win Parle-G and Camlin Pencils contest and are enrolled in Aabra Ka Daabra — the school of magic, that was founded by Sage Adityanand, which is now run by a magician Rang Birangi, who has enormous magical powers.

It was a sleeper and surprise hit at the box office, as there were no new releases during that time except Ab Tumhare Hawaale Watan Saathiyo, which was a flop at the box office during that time, its marketing was done as kid's movie, hence it was a box office success, it earned almost 25 crore at the box office.

Aabra Ka Daabra was met with extremely negative reviews, as it was a poor childish remake of Harry Potter series, filled with too many unwanted songs, even a child will hate this movie, however it was praised for Tiara (now Nupur Mehta)'s negative performance, her costumes and Anupam Kher's comic role.

In the end of movie it was seen that there will be a sequel titled Aabra ka Daabra- Terror of RB, in which all the cast will reprise their roles. In 2020, Hansika Motwani said that now she has her acting career, she refused to join the film. Its plans are now shelved.
