Taare Zameen Par : One of the best movies I have seen

innumerable movies have shown child's plight in a really sensitive way...the latest release Taare Zameen Par is at the top of the list.....

first of all lemme talk abt Aamir....even thgh this is his first movie as a director he has come across as an excellent story teller....he has conveyed the pathos/pain/grief of the child in a very apt way....many of the scenes are the movie are excellently handled....he is even not afraid of showing the child's name as the first name in the credit rolls even before his....he has the guts to tell a story which no big actor would have liked their name associated with....being a superstar Aamir could have easily directed a big budgeted highly publicized movie with lotsa entertainment factor...but he has gone on a totally different tangent and has come up with a masterpiece....no director has attempted this subject till now and Aamir has the courage to take this big risk in his first film...if u think Aamir is perfectionist as an actor and watch out this directorial debut and u will have to eat ur words....it proves that he is a perfectionist as a director as well....he again turns up aces as far as acting is concerned...specially the 2 confrontations scenes with Ishaan's father first at Ishaan's home in Mumbai and then when Ishaan's father visits him at Panchagani...this scene even shows how talented the director is......another Aamir scene that stands out is the climax scene of the movie...this movie has one of the best impactful climax in recent times....

coming to Darsheel...he is the real scene stealer....this child deserves the highest award for 2007....even filmfare award for best actor would not do justice for his portrayal of Ishaan....just watch out how he emotes/cries/laughs throughout the movie....u really feel for this child throughout the movie....some of his scenes that stand out are his fight with the child during cricket, day on Mumbai streets, climax scene....

Tisca as Ishaan's mother is perfect...she needs to be given more roles....she is a very good actress....he first stint as actress (i guess the movie was Platform with Ajay Devgan arnd 13-14 yrs back) was not successful..but now she is back with a bang.....

Animations and camerawork are A class......moreover they blend really well with the proceedings.... screenplay by Aamir and Amole Gupte (creative director) is spot on....songs are hummable....title song is the pick of the lot...the video is even more beautiful (both during the movie and when the credit rolls in the end)....video of jame raho is also goood.....kholo kholo and bum bole too are good numbers.....

This movie needs to be seen by every parent...this conveys a strong message...one cannot expect each child to be a topper in all fields...some excel in academics while some excel in sports....each child needs to be given creative freedom....parents should not have any ambitions from his child....ambition and pressure kills the child.....

no more senti stuff.....go watch the movie....not to be missed at any cost at least in this life.....
