The story shapes up when Ganesh’s father dies and he is forced to move to Canada
with his aunt Charlotte. The film beautifully depicts the hardships faced by an
Indian boy while settling abroad. Despite being mocked at school and
neighborhood, the protagonist never left his Indian beliefs and customs.

The young boy made the whole town believe in Mahatma Gandhi’s supremacy by using
his Satyagraha principle. When Ganesh and his family were asked to evacuate
their ancestral home, he went on a hunger strike and gradually the whole town
joined him to help him save his home. 



Ordinary Magic is one of the hidden gems of Ryan’s film career and is definitely
a one-time watch. Meanwhile, Ryan Reynolds made his debut as an actor in the
television series Fifteen. Released in 1991, the drama focused on the life of
Hillside School students as they balanced their academic and social life.
