Taare Zameen Par

Taare Zameen Par
I watched 'Taare Zaameen Par' this weekend, and loved it.
Once again Aamir demonstrates that good films can come out of bollywood. This movie is a shining example of subjects, storylines and talent potential waiting to be tapped in India. Bollywood CAN emerge as a leading producer of quality films. Instead of copying and recycling (5 mins of 'ramu ki aag' is still hurting my eyes), I hope that the filmmakers look deep into the indian potential.

Aamir has captured the contrast of the boy's world and harsh reality of bustling 'mumbai' city from sitting on top of the bus engine very well. There is every aspect of the film that is praise worthy. Darsheel Safary exhibit years beyond his age. His performance towers and carries the film. Infact, there are a few minutes in the film that are self indulgent on Aamir's part, if he edits that part out, he has got an oscar candidate. Nevertheless, its interesting that a leading bollywood star would not make an appearance for 30-40mins of the film. Aamir has learnt that you dont have to be in every frame to make a good movie.
Ofcourse at this rate, Aamir will be incapable of working with anyone human. His race for perfection is interesting. Will he resort to anime? he he he he

Hats off to Aamir for this gem.

It gets better....

"It turned out that she wasnt in love with me as I had thought....What I am trying to say.....I understand feeling small and as insignificant as humanly possible, and how it actually aches in places that you didnt know you had inside of you.....And it does not matter how many new haircuts you get, or gyms you join, or how many glasses of chardoney you have with your friends, you still go to bed every night, going over every detail....and wonder what you did wrong or how could you misunderstood, and how in the hell, in that brief moement that you could think be so happy?
And sometimes you even concince yourself that she would see the light and show up at your door.....
And after all that, for however long that may be, you go to some place new, meet new people who make you feel worthwhile again....And little peices of sould will finally come back...and all the fuzzy stuff....all those years of your life you wasted.... eventually starts to fade........"
