Taare zameen par, if i say was a very honest film I wouldn't be adding anything new to the already existing compliments. It was indeed an honest film , the story was such that one can not portray it with anything but a full dose of the h word.
Now as an audience why am i not guilty of spending the amount of money i shelled out (which has increased 10 times since my kidhood) for it ? Well because it gave me a peep into my very own childhood, I wasn't a dyslexic. But then the movie is not about it. It is about the conflicts of a child, dyslexic or not dyslexic. It is about pursuing your hearts' desire and the consequences if you fail do so because of the pressures from all kinds of sources.
At the cost of sounding ignorant i would say that there is a little bit of dyslexia in everyone. And if one goes by the resilience of the protagonist and the confidence of his art teacher, dyslexia seems to have been brought into fashion. On a lighter note the movie wins heart in all of the departments be it music, dialogues, lyrics, story and performances. I believe the child actor should be pitted against other male actors in awarding the best male actor award with age being NO bar.
Amir Khan has proven yet again that his infrequent appearances on the 70mm screen atleast guarantees a blockbuster status for the few films that he does. And also that he is India's hope to achieve an Oscar nomination yet again. This film deserves ****1/2. Half point deducted to make it look realistic.
