is is a beautiful movie sensibly made to appeal to all sorts of audience across all strata of society. It touches a chord in your heart and connects with everybody. No one is left out. It does not matter if you are a parent, uncle, aunt, teacher, brother or sister. It’s sure to move you. I dare say, TAARE ZAMEEN PAR is a commercial success as well as it will receive critical acclaim. Aamir Khan scores big time with his debut as a director. But the star here is not Aamir, its Darsheel Safary, who plays the central character of Ishaan Awasti. Ishaan is a bubbly eight-year-old who sees a different world, always getting into fights and always faring badly in school. While his elder brother is a bright student, Ishaan has spent two years in the third standard. Exasperated, his father packs him off to a boarding school as a punishment. Already struggling with studies, Ishaan now has to deal with the pangs of separation. If earlier he would paint the canvass bright with colours, now he does nothing of the sort. In school, he has gone from bad to worse, but no one seems to know the reason for his dilemma. The truth is, he is dyslexic. In short, Ishaan has a learning disorder marked by impairment of the ability to recognize and comprehend written words. My question and the only flaw I think in the movie is this; if the child has fared so badly so as to spend two years in one class, how come the parents have not noticed the troubled spot? That is a bit hard to digest. But you are willing to forgive Aamir this one flaw, because when you look at the canvass as a whole, he tackles the whole issue with Ishaan by befriending him and giving him back his self-confidence, and in the bargain winning himself a friend for life.

I am really proud to be an Indian where now we are making such movies like TZP which bring awareness to all those parents who now a days have a world of hopes from there children in making them what they want them to become in life, where the child is no longer left with his own desires and dreams. The movie also brings into light ‘Dyslexia’ a learning disability. I always admire all the movies of Aamir Khan production keep up the good work Aamir and don’t worry about winning any awards as all of them are bought and sold for a price. The real award for ur movie is the Box Office Collection of the movie.

If one wishes to sum up Amir Khan’s directorial debut in a word; the only one which comes to my mind is “Beautifulâ€! It’s a beautiful painting which has been put across on the 70 MM canvas of cinema… One which will not just touch our hearts but also change the way we look towards our kids. And it is here where the movie scores over some of the other emotional movies.. It preaches an important fact without being very preachy and helps us see life and kids from another perspective! Amir Khan has done full justice to Amol Gupte’s powerful script. He has shown promise and sensitivity which will make him a director to look out for. But as the credits mention, this movie is all about Darsheel Safary, who is the star of the movie ahead of Amir! The kid has projected a diaspora of emotions with such ease that even after leaving the theatres his image is imprinted at the minds of cinegoers never to leave its mark. This performance will make you think if the kid was actually “Actingâ€! Shankar Ehsan’s music may not be chartbuster, but simply gels with the movie and compliments story telling to the core. If Darsheel is the life of the movie and script is its soul; it is the music, lyrics and background which provide a superlative body to the beautiful life & soul.. Cinematography is simple but impressive. The rest cast is equally effective and Tisca Chopra as the mother needs special mention for her performance. Though the movie is a path-breaking effort to project kids psychology and their handling from the parents; few areas could have been worked on. Sluggish pace in the second half does take away some impact from it and audience can surely complain for the need of more entertaining moments! If Amir Khan the "Star" has given face value to this movie of a lifetime, it is Darsheel the "Star" who will make you remember it for a lifetime! But for Amir the "Director", though he may surely have better money spinners in the future; it will be difficult for him to better this with respect to the content. Commercially, its bound to do well amongst the classes as there is no masala in it to spice up the Box office at B and C grade centres. Even if you are not an MF Hussain, you cant afford to miss this 2 ½ hour painting; which will bring alive frames of your own childhood and help you identify better with your children’s dreams,needs and emotions! "Beautiful" it is...

Yet another top class hindi movie of aamir, probably the movie of the year. Emotions of a dyslectic kid, wow what an amazing feat by this young actor Safary and how brilliantly aamir has tuned and brought the best in him is all about this enlightening and touching movie which should capture anyone's hearts specifically the parents of young kids or would be parents. Overall hats off to the whole crew of TAARE ZAMEEN PAR.

A mandatory movie for all parents, future presents and teachers. An extremely talented actor - Dalsheer. You don't realize that he's acting! However, at least give credit to the author where you get the story from. The story of the movie "Taare Zameen Par" seems plagiarized from the book "Thank you Mr. Falker" by Patricia Polacco. The movie has a slight variation: instead of a girl, there's a boy. Even scenes like writing on the sand, mirror images are from the book. For those who haven't read the book you can read more at the author's website: www.patriciapolacco.com/books/falker/falker_index.html Here's what the author has to say: "I did not learn how to read until I was almost 14 years old. Can you imagine what it was like to see all my friends do so well in school and I wasn't! I thought I was dumb. I didn't like school because there was this boy that always teased me and made me feel even dumber. When I was fourteen, it was learned that I have a learning disability. It is called dyslexia. I felt trapped in a body that wouldn't do what everybody else could do. That was when one of my hero's, my teacher, found what was wrong with me and got me the help I needed to succeed in school. Of course , now that I am an adult, I realize that being learning disabled does not mean DUMB AT ALL! As a matter of fact, I have learned that being learning disabled only means that I cannot learn the way most of you do. As a matter of fact most learning disabled children are actually GENIUSES! once I learned how to read and caught up with the rest of my fellow students, I did very well."
