Taare Zameen Par : A Review.



I had decided to write a small epitome of this film, as soon as I finished viewing it for the 2nd time and here it is....my feelings about this exemplary movie . I wouldn't be doing justice to my conscience if I fail to recognize some of the key aspects of this movie that incidentally turned it into an emotional feast for its viewers.

Messages and Inner Meanings conveyed through the movie:

1. The actual role of an ideal teacher: To impart knowledge with a missionary zeal.

2. The role of parents in dealing with their children: Most parents want their children to become either an engineer or a doctor.As a result the children are subjected to rigorous working and comparisons with the outstanding. They forget the intense stress that the children undergo trying to cope with current competitive scenario where "Survival of the fittest" has become the reality.

3. Real Meaning of Education: Education shouldn't result into mere copies, rather it must encourage innovation and creativity.

4. Every child is special i.e has his/her own inborn talents and it should be the parents who must become instrumental finders of these talents and they must find ways of nurturing them.

5. With determination and will power, a person with any mental disorder, can conquer the challenges of the world, to reach the zenith of perfection.
Quintessential examples are: Albert Einstein, Thomas Alva Edison, Agatha Christie, Leonardo Da Vinci, Abhishek Bachan etc...

6. Disparaging and derogatory remarks will result in the abrupt culmination of growth of the young mind, after which, restoring it back to normalcy would be an excruciatingly painful task.To picturize this, a nice story about Solomon Islands is told in the movie where the inhabitants of the Island kill a tree by standing around it and calling it bad names.

7. Normal people are so lucky in life compared to those suffering from mental diseases and poverty. So make the best use of the gift of god - this life.

Some Areas that I felt truly emotional:

1. The boy left alone in the Boarding School. His feelings are genuine and emotional.



2. The Boy(Ishant Avaste) sees his own picture drawn by Amir Khan and cries due to unexplainable happiness.

3. Boy collects his prize after winning the competition and then hugs his teacher (Amir Khan)with immense gratitude.

4. Amir Khan explains what true caring is, to Ishant's father, father comes down, sees his child and then realizes his folly and leaves, crying silently. His feelings are genuine.

It is one of the best movies I have ever seen, some wonderful acting by the boy and Amir Khan, inspiring songs and some really good messages to take back home. A must-see movie for all parents.
