Only ten years old, he can speak a myriad of languages and has won the hearts of all the tourists who visit Jaisalmer. But in Nanhe's heart is his favorite actor, Bobby Deol, who had worked with him in a film years ago when Nanhe was just a baby. In one of that film's scenes, Bobby picks up the baby Nanhe and asks him, 'Kaise ho mere dost?' (How are you, my friend?). This memory alone leads Nanhe to believe that the actor is his long-lost best friend. No one believes that Bobby is Nanhe's friend. When it is announced that Bobby is finally coming to Jaisalmer on a 30-day movie shoot, Nanhe's wish is fulfilled, to finally meet his long-lost friend. Over the next few days, Bobby and Nanhe enjoy much time together. Bobby teaches Nanhe how to use his most powerful utility, his brain, and how to keep on learning new things in life. It is not long before Nanhe finds out that Bobby never came to Jaisalmer; he cancelled his shooting. Nanhe had been hallucinating Bobby the whole time. His subconscious had been healing him into learning good things and leaving bad habits such as taking tobacco. He realizes that each time he saw Bobby, he was in a get-up that came right out of all the posters in Nanhe's room. Years later, an adult Nanhe changes his name to Vikram Singh and writes a book about his own life and about how he thought he met Bobby and other events that happened in his earlier life, but he is shocked when he finds out that on his book's premiere, Bobby actually shows up to congratulate him. Reminiscing all the past events, they became good friends after all. Cast

Critical responseSukanya Verma of Rediff.com gave the film three stars out of five, "Thankfully, the humour of Nanhe Jaisalmer is squeaky clean compelling the supporting cast comprising of actors like Rajesh Vivek, Sharat Saxena, Pratiksha Lonkar, and Bina Kak to be at their endearing best. Though never really lengthy, the only time Nanhe Jaisalmer truly tests your patience is when Himesh Reshammiya's insipid tracks show up. Surprisingly, the catchy-song machine fails to deliver for this kiddie flick. Nanhe Jaisalmer might not be a big bait at the box office. Then again, its true credibility lies in its purpose not profit."[2] Manish Gajjar of BBC.com wrote "Without a shadow of doubt, young talented Dwij is the main star as the adorable Nanhe. He portrays the stubbornness and vulnerability of the ten year old character with great confidence and real pride. Bobby Deol gives a subdued performance as Nanhe's idol although another actor like Salman Khan or Hrithik Roshan would be better suited for this role. This is mainly due to their strong screen presence and megastar status. On the whole, Nanhe Jaisalmer is a pure fantasy film - a children's delight this autumn."[3]
