Taare Zameen Par...literally

First things first, if you miss on TZP you are indeed missing something... I cried like a damn child through half of the movie. I don’t know why but it seemed like I was the only one crying so much in the damn hall. But it’s not my fault, the movie hit me where it hurts the most. I’m going to go out of my way to advertise this movie because everybody needs to see it. It may have it’s glitches and stuff, but I had no time to even notice those. From the beginning till the end, it was too good. And whatever somebody might say, I don’t think anyone except Aamir Khan could have done this. He seems unreal when he does things like this.

Aamir Khan has been accused of stripping people’s roles in movies but in this movie, the child was the hero, and he is an amazing actor. It almost feels like he’s actually like that. Aamir Khan only comes in the second half and that’s commendable considering that he’s produced as well as directed the movie.The kid is so good that you hardly notice that Aamir dosent make an appearance until the interval.

Obviously, it’s about kids but it’s not like the adults will not like it. I believe some of them will look inside them and realize how wrong they have been. It’s just that..people just judge you by the marks you get and not by anything else. And it’s not fair. Nobody tries to talk to you and help you figure out your life. (this I have experienced myself).

Everybody just goes about telling you how the world is so mean out there and you need to get good grades to survive. Damnit, I already know all that. Why doesn’t anybody understand what’s going on in somebody’s mind when they’re being labeled a failure and a useless person? I don’t have any more words cause I might start crying again. But here’s cheers to the kid, Aamir and everybody else who made this movie possible. The world really needs to wake up and try to understand how a child should be treated. We call ourselves humans but we aren’t any better than animals. Every child is special, but most of us refuse to face it. We only want toppers and first rankers in our family. When everybody’s kids can, why can’t our kid do it? So we should make sure we make his life hell and force him into doing it..

I would highly recommend this movie to all... its a very sensitive story about young children, although it talks about kids with dyslexia but i think the subject is very much applicable to all kids these days... its not uncommon to hear about suicides due to poor performance in studies these days... its too much pressure to perform from parents/ teachers/ peers these days... hopefully it can be our entry for oscars next year!

Music is very good, and i had not heard the "Ma" song till I saw the movie... the song is just too much with its lyrics and picturization... you could almost feel yourself crying..I for one was sobbing in this song :P... I could get the same feeling as with "luka chupi" from RDB... besides the movie scores in screen play/ dialogues as well, some of the scenes have amazing dialogues to match the intensity required at all fronts... watch out for the "khyaal" sequence between Aamir and kid's father... ...

Just loved the dialogue by Aamir "Apne sapno ka bojh apne bachhon ke kandhon par rakh do....Its worse than child labour".....Or maybe I loved this dialogue so much because I could relate with it too much.Same goes for the movie :-)...not that I am dylexic or anything but am doing something that I didnt wanted to...not that anyone forced me but I knew its whats gonna make everyone happy..Infact when I look back I dont even know what I wanted to become at some point of time.It has always been what others want.Dont even remember if I ever had a dream of my own :)...I guess thats why still havent been able to become anything :)...Anyways lets get back to the movie :)

I know its not gonna happen but the kid should get the best actor in a leading role award of 2007.

One of the most beautiful movie I have ever seen.One needs to be so sensitive to have a vision like this.Hats off to Aamir Khan...not just an actor,director,producer (although thats commendable too) but most of all as a human being.

Some movies are made to spread a message, they are made with pure passion, and not because they would / Should do good at the box office, believe me this is one movie that might change your perseption about a lot of things. Never ever in my entire life have I seen my mom crying in a movie.But it happened.And that itself says what a special movie it is.I rest my case :-)
