Taare Zameen Par
I had the fortune of watching this movie and was moved to tears more than once. This will surely go down as one of the landmarks of Indian Motion Picture history. Never before in the history of Indian cinema have I seen as sensitive a portrayal of contemporary Indian parents & children. Dyslexia has never been exposed to the masses as a sensitive educational audio-visual "commercial" humane drama such as "Taare Zameen Par".
Darsheel Safary the child star seems to have been born for this role. He fits in like a glove & wrenches the audiences' emotions & drains their lachrymal glands in one sweet-little sparkling package!
The lyrics by my friend Prasoon Joshi had me spell-bound. Prasoon has a special gift from the almighty to tug at your heart-strings with his heavenly poetry. This is not a film review, but I just cannot stop gushing over the movie. First-time director Aamir Khan - words are not enough to salute his effort. What he has done to awaken the entire literate Indian Nation & enlighten grown-ups about parenting-truths is possibly beyond his own comprehension. Thank you Aamir. generations will remember you for your epic.
I think it needed this movie to change my own attitude to my kids. I am a changed person & promise myself & my family that I will be a much better fathter to my kids Ranveer & Akanksha after today.
