Taare Zameen Par - nahin, har ek ke dil mein


I came out of the theatre with moist eyes and a heavy heart after watching "taare zameen par" (stars on earth). And I am sure, everyone who watched the movie also did.

I have been an ardent fan of Aamir Khan, since his 'quayamat se quayamat tak" - his first movie. Except for an out and out commercial like mela, I have seen, and enjoyed every single movie of his.

Kudos to Aamir khan for bringing it to the people, the mind of a child. The child actor, darsheel steals the show. The intensity with which he has portrayed the emotions, is amazing. No wonder his name appears the first in the list of cast.

This movie should be telecast with subtitles and should reach the maximum people. Every parent and teacher should see the movie. I am sure, they will be able to relate to every child, special or not, better thereafter. The best thing about the movie is that you feel part of the movie.

Critically, the movie at times tend to extend certain scenes like the one describing the child's mental agony and the painting competition. May be exaggeration is required, to drive home the points.

Having seen it in the south, it was sad to note that there were hardly 50 people in the theatre. Hope the word spreads like a wildfire and as we say in Tamil"yam petra inbam peruga iviyagamum" (let the whole world be blessed with happiness as I am).
