EXCLUSIVE REVIEW BY HANUMANT BHANSALI

Remarkable actor Aamir Khan has made an impressive opening of his directorial career with Taare Zameen Par. Think about it, the actor who has developed a reputation of offering hits and variety in each of his films, could have chosen a sure-shot masala script to add another block buster hit in his list of films. Rather, Aamir has chosen to talk about a subject which is neglected by the superficial level of audience, the parents.

The film is quite realistic, atleast most of the times. The child actor Darsheel Safary captures your imagination at the very first sight. The pain and ignorance suffered by him and many more kids is quite aptly depicted in the storyline.

On the whole, the storyline dissolves the mind of young children who are bounded by the pressures of life.

Eight-year old Ishaan Awasthi’s life is not moving in the right direction, atleast for him. He is bogged down with the constant pressures of performing well in the class. For Ishaan, life is more than just a marksheet. He likes kites, fishes, shiny objects, spaceships and ice golas.

After receiving a complaint about Ishaan, his father Nandkishore Awasthi (Vipin Sharma) decides to pack Ishaan off to a boarding school. Maya (Tisca Chopra), Ishaan’s mother adores her son but agrees to send her son away from her.

For Ishaan, things get worsen as he has to bear the separation of his family.
