What a movie!!!

Recently i watched a Bollywood movie called “Taare Zameen par” which meaning in english is Stars on earth. Its about a boy who has problems with reading and writing as the letters seem to dance in front of him. His condition is known as Dyslexia and the story of his going to school and how he copes with it.
How many times has there been a movie you could really relate to? How many times has it happened that you’ve seen a character on the screen that reminds of something that you’ve been through in your life? As I saw Ishan (Darsheel Safary) today, I felt, somewhere deep within that that’s me.
This movie is brilliant in every way! I have seen many child performances but none like him. In this one, within 10 minutes of the movie, I was like “give this kid every friggin award in the world!” His is the part that could make or break the movie. And for that, i must congratulate the person in charge of the casting.The teachers are really well portrayed. They are very believable. Infact, so believable, that I could even name what film teachers look like which real teacher I’ve had. The habits, the traits of the teachers’ personalities are not just stereotypical, but real. Even the parents, and their mentality of saying whatever the teachers say too far is sadly, true. If only parents would not start yelling “so you’re saying my child is a RETARD!” at every little thing, the situation would be much better off….for everyone. Even my dad would threaten me that he’d send me to a boarding school if I didn’t study/behave…. Oh! there I go again, comparing myself to the movie… I think that’s because a big part of the movie plays on making you feel the kid’s plight, making you feel as if you’re in his place, see the things going on from his perspective… And it wouldn’t have been this way had it not been for the amazing direction.
The problem I had with the movie was I wished it didn’t end. I wanted it to go on and on.
Anyways, I feel everyone should watch this movie. If you can’t understand hindi, get it with SUBTITLES! Don’t get a dubbed version. Because the original voice and the emotion in the voice is really crucial, and the dubbed voice may not be able to carry that across
