Taare Zameen Par – immaculately perfect

Posted by Lakshminarayanan on February 21, 2008

First of all, I should admit that I don’t watch Hindi movies that often…credit goes to the education system in Tamilnadu which didn’t allow me to learn Hindi…I watch a Hindi movie only if I get really good reviews from my friends and of course if I get the subtitles…all my friends kept telling that ‘Taare Zameen Par’ is a wonderful movie and a must watch…when I read the story in sites, I didn’t realize how the movie is going to be…but after watching the movie yesterday, if I say it has impressed me, its an understatement…

Aamir Khan has just perfectly wielded the megaphones without any traces of debut…the continuity between the scenes, cinematography, way the characters have acted (sorry lived) and Aamir Khan’s role, everything is just impeccable in this movie…Darsheel Zafary as Ishaan Nandkishor Awasthi is a ‘real discovery’…I have no words to describe this kid’s acting…Aamir Khan as Ram Nikumbh is so apt…the scene which describes how Ishaan derives the answer of 3X9 shows the story telling power of Aamir…

I don’t really empathize myself with any movie…but when I watched TZP(without understanding many of the dialogues to the fullest extent), I was burst into tears thrice…that doesn’t mean the movie is mawkish…it is unadulterated expression of emotions…

All 5 C’s of a cinema (Camera, Continuity, Cutting, Close-ups, Composition) are consummate in this movie…I must appreciate cameraman Setu’s job here…it is just top notch…above all, the story and the characters are gems on the crown…

a royal salute to Aamir for taking a dare step in making a movie out of this story and making it perfectly…though janta have recognized his efforts,bollywood doesn’t seem to have…in StarDust awards the best movie of the year 2007 was Jab We Met (I cannot comment as I haven’t watched) and the dream director was Farah Khan for OSO (a total crap except for the heroine :P )…

I have already added this movie into my favorites…I urge you to add this to your ‘List of movies I should watch before I die’…if I say this movie is comparable to ‘One flew over the Cuckoo’s nest’ and Darsheel’s performance is comparable to Jack Nicholson, its not a hyperbole…
