Taare Zamin Par

... And I kept saying that Indian Film Industry is not trying out new things, the 'bollywood' fails to make a movie which gives a social message, I must confess, that Taare Zameen Par is THE MOST emotional Hindi movie I have ever seen. Going forward one step, I will say that it tops the hall of fame Hindi Movie list.

Yesterday morning when I went to see this movie, I was aware of the storyline and the plot. But the way, it is presented is just awesome. The fragility of Inoo's little world, the imaginative mind which accepts no bounds and compares 3 * 9 with Earth colliding with Pluto. The innocence and originality that you see in his drawings and imaginations truly mesmerize the audience. The harsh and competitive world which continuously burdens a child's beautiful world with cutting competitions, never satiated greed of success, the unending pursuit of gaining materialistic achievements are portrayed with an absolute reality. Perhaps the most important aspect of the movie is the wider range of the audiences that it covers. Keeping the Dyslexia as the reason behind Inoo's lack of grasping things, the story ends up giving a great message which everyone should take into consideration. Every child is special, the tag line, proves it all.

Aamir keeps up with his 'the perfectionist' image and does not give room for a single mistake. From the beginning till the end, the movie focuses on the central character. Aamir himself take a position of a 'maker' than that of an 'Achiever'. The most appealing point is the intensity of Inoo's feelings. Meri Maa is sung and presented in such a perfect way that tears roll on our chicks and heart cries out with a grief. Look at the music and lyrics, Adnan Sami's song when a drop of paint falls on Inoo's cheek and the ecstatic feeling we see on his cute face is beautiful. The scene of Inoo's hug when he wins at the drawing competition shows that all feelings can not be expressed in words like Thank You! ...

I have never cried so much in the theater before,and must admit that this movie is the milestone in the Indian Film Industry and has shown that people still appreciate human emotions more than anything, as sometimes tears convey more than what words can ever say...

Hats off to Aamir Khan and Darsheel Safary.... Hope Aamir will come up with some more fantastic creations wearing his 'Director's' hat.

One thing I particularly liked was the painting Amir makes of inoo in the Art Mela. Really cool..

@Swati,
Some people have already watched it twice and now planning for one more visit...

@Mohsin
The direction is superb, we did not see any of the pictures ( drawn by neither Aamir nor Inoo) until the final results are out, and that adds more weight to the scene.

@paresh,
Well, there you go. I have deliberately made that mistake and delighted that you found that out...
Actually, there were lots of chicks in the movie theater and that might be the reason of why I misspelled it . And about that dialog, I didn't burst into laughter but few of others did ;-), seems like Vikya and you guys had a lot of fun there ...
