The times when everything did not have to make sense... Its about the situations, the conditions, the hypocrisy, the tolerance, the madness and our own unimaginable cruelty to mankind. As i said... its about the times when not many things made sense.. and neither did History till then.... but always hoping that someday our future will.

Taare Zameen Par


This has been really long... long time after I have written something. It may have to do something with my laziness, but you know its procrastination.
Been busy, been lazy, been tired, been angry and been worried. That makes up all my reasons for not writing regularly. If you think of anything else, do add that in my behalf.

Been a long month, and if I now look back, I think the only thing that made me happy about it was watching Taare Zammen Par. I had first thought I wont watch it, but then when Friday night, I did not get tickets for Welcome, I decided to watch this. Tears shed and 2 and half hours later I was filled with pride for having seen this. There are very few movies that touch your soul and this is one of them. The message from the movie is very clear and apt. Earlier I had thought its a movie for children, but frankly its meant for adults. Everyone at sometime or the other will relate to this movie. Its cause its so natural and so very common.
This is the kind of movie that makes you think and ask questions. It stays with you for a long time.
"If you want to grow horses, why give birth to a child" This sentence says it all and it has the same effect on everyone who has lost all sense in this mad race. I saw many people not smiling, but thinking after they came out of the theater and thats where this movie will succeed. Of course the movie is entertaining in many aspects but it brings about a very strong subject and a very well said message. I dont want to write about the acting and the direction since its something my words cannot describe and give it due credit. What I can only tell is, if you havent seen it, or if you dont like movies.. or if its been like ages you seen one, You got to see this one.

i think it got something to do wid tht kinda second name...ahemm :P!!!

whoa!!! wat a movie...not for a single moment did i think tht the kid is 'acting'...one movie which made me sit right frm the strt whr the kid's name appear before aamirs(commendable thot) tilll wen the credits were on (my eyes trasnfixed on all the kids on the l.h.s. :))

its aamir's confidence which got personified on screen--riske enuf to take the directorial chair, doubly risky wen u hav directors arnd to take care of the megaphones....cheers to him and the entire tzp team..wats next mr.khan :)?

it was if his conviction got voiced on the celluloid and it appears as if aamir knew beforehand tht it wud work.

it had to.

As i said... amazing movie. Today i saw Sunday and while coming out i heard the TZP ending music while passing through the door of the other screen on my way out. I waited there for a moment recollecting that moment in my head... :)
