The Dancing Words



I do not like to watch a movie more than once. The only movie i have watched twice in a theatre is Mughal-e-azam(and i slept like a baby the second time, with Jalaludin Akbar's thunderous voice playing in background).

Tarre Zamin Par is different. . I feel like going back to the cosmoplex, and watch it again, and may be again. What a movie..!!! Crisp, clear, easy paced, subtle, and on a topic very close to my heart, Education. I am really impressed with the sensitivity with which the subject has been handled.

A special child, fighting a lone battle with dyslexia, with no one understanding what is troubling him, or even trying to. His agony, his meek attempts to fight back, his broken heart, his joy, and his victory, all come out, and never being loud or melodramatic.

Darsheel has done a good job(it would be proper to say Aamir has done a good job-getting a nice performance out of the kid), Tisca is looking nice. SAL's music is nice, and grows on u as u sit through the movie, laughing, and crying.

Am looking forward to Aamirs next as a director.

Yeah. He's amongst the few people who can currently call themselves 'actor' and not be dishonest.

His focus is admirable, he may not be as dashing a personality like Big B, or as talanted an actor as Naseer.. What makes watching him a feast is his complete surrender to the charecter he is playing..

But in Taare.. his capability to give shape to his point of view has come out pretty convincingly.

He has not much to do as an actor here.. the Darsheel steals the show.
