Yesterday i saw along with my family and cousin sister the movie TaareZameen Par. the film had earlier got earlier got excellent reviews in the media for its treatment of a delicate subject. I wasn’t in any mood to c the movie, since i just had a fight with one of my loved ones.
Yet hats off to Aamir Khan the director and actor of the movie. He has so beautifully dealt with the subject of dyslexia in kids. It is very true as depicted in the film today’s parents are pushing the kids towards the rat race. is coming first in the class more important than your kid’s happiness and satisfaction?
In the film the lead character a young boy has failed in the 3rd standard and is repeating the class. he has a problem expressing through words and cannot understand multiple instructions. he expresses himself through beautiful paintings which depict is thoughts. unfortunately his parents don’t understand his problems and forcibly send him to a boarding school. in the boarding the young boy improves slowly with the help of his art teacher played by Aamir Khan.
The film is excellent because it shows that children affected by dyslexia are not ‘mentally retarded’. they are intelligent in many other ways. the film was so touching, during many parts of the movie i had tears swelled up in my eyes.
i think there wasn’t a single person in the move theater who did not shed tears. i would recommend everyone to watch this movie without fail and hopefully parents will not succumb to the rat race in the future. instead they should encourage the hidden talents in their kids.
As the movie tag line says ‘every child is special.’
