Every child is special
If 'Guru' movie was the perfect start of year 2007, 'Taare zameen par' is a great finish. If 'Guru' inspired the youth, 'Taare jameen par' will inspire the kids. . It stars Aamir Khan in the main lead (directorial debut as well) who plays the teacher to a dyslexic child played by Darsheel Safary and both have acted brilliantly in this movie. Indiafm rightly wrote that "TAARE ZAMEEN PAR (Stars are on the earth) isn't one of those films that merely entertains, but also enlightens." Although first half of the movie is bit slow and some scenes could have been cut down.
But it isn't a movie any parent should miss out. Music is rocking and stays true to the film's spirit. On the whole, 'Taare zameen par' is one of the refreshing movies I have seen this year.
Synopsis :
Ishaan Awasthi is an eight-year-old whose world is filled with wonders that no one else seems to appreciate; colours, fish, dogs and kites are just not important in the world of adults, who are much more interested in things like homework, marks and neatness. And Ishaan just cannot seem to get anything right in class.
When he gets into far more trouble than his parents can handle, he is packed off to a boarding school to ‘be disciplined’. Things are no different at his new school, and Ishaan has to contend with the added trauma of separation from his family.
One day a new art teacher bursts onto the scene, Ram Shankar Nikumbh, who infects the students with joy and optimism. He breaks all the rules of ‘how things are done’ by asking them to think, dream and imagine, and all the children respond with enthusiasm, all except Ishaan. Nikumbh soon realizes that Ishaan is very unhappy, and he sets out to discover why. He meets his parents and comes to know about Ishaan's problems of dyslexia and his wonderful world of imagination. He sets out to help Ishaan at any cost. Finally his dreams comes true when Ishaan stands out as an Art Scholar and also passes out his annual exams in school. At last Ishaan thanks his teacher Ram for helping him out to create his own world.
