Taare Zameen Par
For the first time, a movie in a theater managed to keep the full capacity crowd in its seats even after the movie was over and the credits were going on.
Very well crafted movie, and to say the least, the kid has done an exceptional job of the role. The movie highlights on the surface the issues related to kids and how each individual can be different, or rather, is different. More importantly, certain sections of the movie highlight the current scenario in the society where parents push their ambitions on their children's shoulders. This to a large extent is unjust as many a times the kid does not even get a chance to exercise its thought process to choose what it wants to do.
The soundtrack is amazing and supports the movie really well. Everyone will speak about what a perfectionist Amir Khan is, so I will not get into that. But yes! it does reflect in this movie too. I can go on writing about this movie as long as I feel like. But that is not the intention of this post. The idea is to tell you to go watch the movie. It is one movie that you shouldn't miss.
PS : The sketch of the kid done by Amir in the movie is mind blowing, and I wish I could do a self portrait like that.
PPS : It was after a wonderful gap of almost 3 years that I saw a movie alone in a theater. Felt really good, and I feel that I chose a brilliant movie to get back to my old self.

Certainly going to watch the movie in theatre now! I have "never" watched a movie in theatre alone. Hmm.. Maybe I should give it a try.
Also good to see you are back to your old self :).

I second your comment on the kid's portrait. It was awesome!
The other gr8 scene was when Aamir lifts the kid into the air in the last scene. That brought tears in my eyes!
Nice blog Vinay. I just ran into it and enjoyed reading your honest feelings and thoughts. And yes, TZP is indeed a wonderful movie. Apart from whatever you have mentioned, I also think it is a good critique of the schooling system in general.
