How can this movie not be loved!
When you work with dedication, a story that wouldn’t fill half a page turns into a brilliantly scripted, shot and presented masterpiece . Tare zameen par is - without doubt - the best movie this year.
I had a lump in my throat the entire time I was in the movie hall, and I am sure so would anyone who used to be allergic to books, to homework, and the system.
The trauma of the kid (at least to me) is of being judged by the world’s standards - Of slaughtered confidence, of being told he wasn’t good enough – And that is the beauty of the movie, if you ask me. It lets you think without making you look at your watch - The pace was a breeze and there is plenty of room to contemplate. The music isn’t redundant, is well timed, and actually good.
There is so much attention to detail - the titles just blew me away.
I walked in on someone else’s ticket (thank you Maneesha), and I was charmed from the first second on.
Oh what a movie!

i agree. i bawled my eyes out. with dignity, of course :P
the movie was good and the kid was brilliant.
if at all the movie disappoints somehwere that would be the music used.. i guess they could have done away with atleast one of those songs.. songs were not that important for the movie.. and prasoon joshi tried to be innocent with the lyrics but i am not very sure abt that.. but the movie overall was good..
the message was bang on!
atleast people are 'aware' of dyslexia now.

Oh, what a movie indeed. Made my day, it did. Lensational is the word for your blog, allright. Very nice pictures :)
heh?: will tell you a secret - that makes it the two of us. ;)
lash: I've always believed in songs having some purpose - to move the plot, transform time or create a paradigm shift.
In this case, I thought there WAS purpose. When you make "parallel" cinema, you expect mature audience that are used to thinking with the movie - in this case - I hate to differentiate - the movie is mainstream, and if the central theme is the boy's plight, I dont see a better way that anyone could have drawn attention to it than that song there.
I even liked the ambient music and the whole sound engineering thing.
