Taare Zameen Par

It's been less thaan 2 hours since i've watched the movie Taare Zameen Par and I couldn't resist myself blogging about it and breaking my long hiatus of about 6 months on the same.. One corner of my heart I'm afraid if I would be able to express myself fully cuz I'm penning about a masterpiece of a film.. Truly it is!

Drawn towards the trailers released for the movie, wanted to watch the movie atleast once! Unexpectedly, today got a chance to watch it, ALONE!! The first time I'm going to watch a film all alone by myself.. i would have denied the idea of watching a movie alone for any other, but for this movie I was decided to go for it, for I couldn't hold back the excitement.. Reached Satyam Cinemas for the special show an hour back.. Walked to the ticket counter.. I wasn't surprised when i heard all the tickets were sold out but for one.. And the last one was my ticket!! Felt too lucky.. Couldn't wait for an hour to watch the film..

The film is all about an 8 year old kid, Ishaan, who faces difficulty in recognizing letters and numbers, dyslexic, as they call it.. He rather finds his world in colorful stuff, fishes, dogs, etc.. His parents fail to recognise this and they put him in a boarding school hoping things would get alright. Things turn worse as he suffers his separation from his family and his academics are low as always.. One fine day, a temporary arts teacher arrives infecting joy and colors into the students. He gets to understand ishaan slowly and how he helps him out is the story..

Ishaan played by Darsheel Safary is one genius of a kid.. what a brilliant and mind-blowing performance has he given! i do not remember any child actor in the recent past who gave such an endearing, magnetic performance on any medium.....His eyes speak volumes.. His priceless expressions, toothy smile has won hearts.. Darsheel's little shoulders has carried the entire film with ease that at no point you feel being pulled along with the film.. May be that's the reason why Aamir Khan chose to move the first half of the film without his appearance itself!

Aamir khan has done a great job as a meticulous director and a perfectionist.. He has shone bright in this film as a director compared to being an actor.. Kudos to him for venturing such films! Sureshot it's gonna be the biggest grosser of the year for it appeals to all genre of audience..

All characters right from Ishaan's mom, brother,dad, Ishaan's friend rajan to all others have given a straight-from-heart performance..

Music has a dash of simplicity and innocence as the script.. Prasoon Joshi has penned the lyrics.. Gems!!!

This is the first ever time i'm writing a review for a movie, cuz i'm not able to get the film outta my head.. I think I've almost covered what the audience will want to know.. (hope it's not a spoiler) But still I feel that I've expressed much less of what I've experienced.. For a spectator like audience, the film would have been good and clean, but for audiences who identified themselves with the characters in the movie they would have been at a loss of words to describe about the movie.. I couldn't stop tears rolling down my cheeks at many instances (especially for the title song and 'maa' song).. Tears not because the film was tragic but because you are too overwhelmed that you can't stop expressing yourself through tears! I'm sure even if the see the film for the nth time, it would leave my eyes moist..
No wonder the film received a standing ovation when it got over !!! I've never seen any film where the people are still glued to their seats till the credits were rolling !

Films like these defying the usual mixture of romance, action and comedy comes but once in a while .. It is films like these that bring accolades for the Indian film industry worldwide .. Watch it for the lack of melodrama, watch it for the performances, watch it for the sheer genuineness that the filmmakers try to show!!!

Hats off to the Taare Zameen Par team for having given a path breaking film of a lifetime!!!
