Taare Zameen Par
The new Aamir Khan movie was allover the news( alright nowadays all Hindi movies are a intergral part of the NEWS channels), the Times of India gave it a 4 star rating.
Few months back, I remember hearing the people talk about one of the awaited movies, “AAG”. Even though the people panned the movie, I did not heed to their words. Oh I wish I had only listened. It has made me lose respect over my greatest Indian Actor. The very feel of Hindi movies changed.
Taare Zameen Par, didn’t quite strike my mind until I found out that the main protagonist gets send to a boarding school. Boarding Schools, well, I studied in one. It didn’t make me a great person, but it became an integral part of my life, the way I am and the way I think.
So I went for the movie, and it didn’t occur to me that most of the people in the multiplex were crying as I was trying to control myself. All controversies aside, this movies is not bas at all. Darsheel Safary gave a heartwarming performance as Ishaan Awasti, a child with an learning disability illness dyselxia who lives in a world where he is pushed in the field of Academics by his Parents and Teachers in this very competitive world until his illness is recogonised by his Art Teacher played by Aamir Khan. Special mention about Tisca Chopra as Ishaan’s Mother. It does have a scene inspired From Calvin and Hobbes(Similar to Calvin dreaming about destroying Aliens during an Examination.)
