Simply Superb. Review on Taare Zameen Par

Aamir Khan is back with a bang, he always comes with something "Zara Hatke". He doesn't belong to the typical Bollywood class nor he wants to. Khan proves this with his directorial debut "Taare Zameen Par".

Taare Zameen Par is a film trying to break the popular social mindset towards children and their disappearing childhood in this competitive world with the help of the story of young dyslexic Ishaan Awasthi(Darsheel Safary).

Movie starts with Ishaan fishing in school nullah, while the school bus is waiting for him. Ishaan is the portrayal of young boy, who is carefree, mischievous and lives in a dream world but he loses, when it comes to studies. He cannot read or write well. This leads in recurring mistakes and failures.

But on the other hand, he liked painting and his imaginations come live on canvas. Ishaan has an austere father Nandkishore Awasthi(Vipin Sharma) and loving mother Maya Awasthi(Tisca Chopra). Who push hard their expectations on him.

Facing expulsion from the school and tired of complaints about him, Ishaan's parents decide to send him to boarding school against his wishes. This incident breaks down young Ishaan who thinks that he is being punished for not being good in studies. But as he sees nobody understands him, he covers himself in silence. He stops retaliating to the society, which has already made him an outcast.

Now in a fairytale way, Ram Shankar Nikumbh(Aamir khan) makes his entry on the screen. He identifies that Ishaan is suffering from dyslexia but is gifted with exceptional painting skills. So, he starts the mission for the rediscovery of Ishaan Awasthi.

Aamir in his debut attempt as director has scored above par and have great storytelling skills. In TZP, he has magnificently presented the struggle and suffering of a dyslexic child with his family and society.

He has been remarkably good in putting small-small moments of childhood life, which lets audience to relate them with story. With Taare Zameen Par, PVR Cinemas also forayed in film making by co-producing this film with Aamir.

The screenplay and research by Amol Gupte is fabulous although it becomes unrealistic at one or two instances. Gupte was the originally director of the movie. But later dissatisfied with the direction of Amol, Khan with mutual consent took over to the direction of the movie.

Cinematography by Setu is amazing; he has captured every emotion in great detail. Music by Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy is worthy and do justice with theme of the movie. They have composed for every mood in the film from the playfulness of childhood to plight of departing child from his family in an emotional track. Prasoon Joshi has penned some really ear soothing https://lyrics. His transformation from Ad-man to lyricist has been tremendous.

Deepa Bhatia has done a really nice job in editing, nothing goes more or less than what it required.

Now coming to the performances, as Aamir is a perfectionist, whether it's direction or acting. He has left no stone unturned for his stint as an Art teacher; he even tried to learn painting. This makes him a delightful watch in the film.

But for me the real protagonist of TZP is young Darsheel Safary. He has been an awesome find of the TZP team. He has easily accustomed himself to the character. He was simply brilliant, whether it was playing part of a joyful, naughty child or broken down Ishaan.

Vipin Sharma, Tisca Chopra have performed well, although Vipin was histrionic sometimes. Tanay Chedda is good as his lone friend in the boarding school. Sachet engineer as Ishaan's elder brother had not much to offer in the film.

In the gist, Taare Zameen Par enlightens, entertains with naughtiness and makes you cry in happiness. It captivates you till the very end, and you leave the theatre as a transformed person, whether you are a parent, child or just a cinema fanatic.
