Today, I have gone to see Taare zameen par. And believe me it is undoubtly the best movie of 2007, perhaps the best of this decade. To come with such a touching, entertaining and sweet story is an ardous task and aamir khan handles that also well. He deserves cent percent marks for coming up with such a terrific film. Now I know why people call him a perfectionist.

Talking about story, its about a dyslexic child and all…you all might be knowing. I know didn't know that the story will be so mersmerizing. Each and every scene has a solid impression on you. No words to appreciate this wonderful film. The story is so real, simple and easy to digest and makes a hard-hitting statement. Every one can easily relate to the film, be it parents or children. Every moment speaks a thousand words. It can make the stone-hearted cry. It's a must must watch for everyone.

There are innumerable scenes which are excellent and brilliantly executed. Few of them which deserves a great applause are:-

  • The sequences between the mother and ishaan( the child artist, darshan javeri)
  • The fight between ishaan and the the child playing cricket on the street and the scolding that he gives to the child.
  • When the parents leave the child in the boarding school and the 'maa' song that follows
  • The classroom sequence when the art teacher scolds him.
  • Introduction of aamir, the bum bole song.
  • Title track, the sequence where aamir feeds a child labour
  • All classroom interactions between aamir and the class.
  • Aamir realizing ishaan's problem and going to his home.
  • The father realizing his fault after taling to ishaan.
  • The aamir's request to principal to give ishaan another chance.
  • Aamir helping ishaan improving his vocabulary, writing etc.
  • The finale ( extremely well written..A big big thumbs up..exceptional execution..
  • And the list continues……….A complete flawless film.No unrequired scenes and dialogues.

Coming the music. Its exteremely ear-pleasing and in the sync of the mood of the film. Its not like Goal where a mujra is inserted inspite of being a sports film. 'Maa' song is truly a tear jerker..Title track extremelyu well picturised and greatly sung by shankar himself. Bum bole is fun watching..whbile other songs are also well picturised and properly inserted. For me..'Kholo-kholo' is the best of the lot which arrives in the climax.truly the best.. Background score is amazing..Sweet, good and honest compositions….

Everyone has acted as real as anything. Every scene looks extremely real, greatly enacted and well penned dialogues. Aamir has taken although, not so famous ones but have taken out gold from them…They have enacted it with as much florish as an 'A' grade actor would have..or even better than that. The real hero..Ishaan aka Darshan Javeri. is extremely likable…Aamir khan..great and brilliant actor as well as director..Simply outstanding and brilliant..No words to describe him..Simply magnamious…

The other actors are also truly adorable and deserves a standing ovation…Tisca chopra as ishaan's mother, actor playing ishaan's father, the two teachers, ishaan's handicapped friend, his elder brother (Tanay.. I think so..) all have acted supremely..They all are supremely talented. Difficult to judge who is better.. Cinematography, special effects all are topnotch..Completely flawless…

Taar zameen is an outstanding and great work of cinema..The best movie to be churned out this year..(according to me..0 It has become my all-time favourites..It left me spellbound..Its extremely likable, mainly for parents and sensitive people..The regular cheap crowd wooing over masal films and heroines may not like this brilliant film and will get bored by it..it is given thumbs up and terrific reviews from all mainstream critics and that's truly appreciable. I liked the movie a lot…..Cant express my feelings yaar.

I strongly strongly recommend this to all of u..Go, watch this and understand the realities of life…

Exceptional, Brilliant, Outstanding, Marvellous, Great, magnamious…adjectives are very small in numbers to describe this wonderful film.. 👏

My rating: 4.5 / 5

Films this year may have been entertaining but none i would call quality but this is special because not only its Aamir directorial debut but it has a messege that hasnt been conveyed on the big screen with the techical briliance and the emotional imapct

Cinmotography-Evrey shot has been captured perfectly with bright colours so crystal clear and the animations are equelly as stunning

Music-Evrey song fitted the mood of the film specail mention to Maa which will tugg your heartstrings when you listen to the emotional lyrics

Performances

Darsheel- This kid is adorable and what an outstanding performance that Aamir got out of him as evrey expression was realistic that none felt out of place and his eyes evoke so much emotion that you feel the pain he is going through

Aamir-Evreything he does is perfect and once again a flawless performance which will make other actors green with envy cause they know aamir will strike excitment in whatever he does

Tischa Chopra- She is an underrated actress and the scenes with her and Darsheel will gurentee to make you shed loads of tears and there will not be a dry eye in the house

Direction-Aamir has taken a risk and it payed off and evreything was perfect right from the performances, script, locations and even the smallest details are superbly done and its amazing how one Actor can be so multitalented which leaves us speechless to make us think what he is gonna do next

This film is by far the best in 2007 and possibly the best ive ever seen as films this year lacked soul but looked appealing this film is somthing that has never been attempted before and teaches us to support our kids in whatever they struggle in

5/5

Highlights

When Aamir tells Ishaans parents what problam he has
Ishaan gettingg thrashed by the bullies in throwing the ball instead to them
Ishaan winning the prize for the Art competetion and hugs Aamir afterwards
When Ishaan tells his parents he doesnt wanna go boarding shool
