"Dare you not to shed a tear"
What you should be doing right now is stop reading this post.
Drop all you are doing and rush to the nearest cinema to watch 'Tare Zameen pe'.
Still reading? Well, then let me continue...
Ordinarily, I would be indulging you in my outlook and opinions.
Well, I have to admit "you have got me this time, Mr. Khan!"
How easily you have made me realize the insignificance of my life.
Still reading? fine! I go on...
Here's story telling: Patient, focused, engaging, sensitive, revealing
Watching the movie is like reading a book.
You still have the freedom to get involved, derive interpretations and imaginations.
Patiently, each page unfolds engaging you more and more.
Before you realize, you are playing multiple roles in the movie.
If my kidney stone condition gets worse, I will have Aamir to share the blame.
The movie is so engaging, I could not get myself to leave the seat, even to relieve myself.
TZP gives you a lot of food for thought and lets you derive your own lessons.
The lessons I learnt from TZP:
1. We ALL have our demons; some of them can be performing elementary tasks.
2. We can overcome our inabilities by simplifying them and making them fun.
3. Focusing too much on our inabilities can significantly affect our strengths.
4. While we have our strengths, basic skills need to be acquired to join the mainstream.
Which raises some questions:
1. Are we too focused on pushing ourselves and our offsprings into the mainstream rat race?
2. Do we acknowledge parallel streams and Are we ready to co-exist 'IN' them?Still reading?
What else are you expecting from this review?
This time I am not going to rate the elements like cinematography, screenplay, direction, story, etc
They are all par excellence.
I however would like to point that Darsheel has pretty strong shoulders.
It takes a lot to carry a film of this magnitude.
Alright, this is the best I can do.
Now do yourself a favor and watch the movie.
A word of caution though, this movie is not to be watched alone!
