Taare Zameen Par – Let’s promote creativity!

There are really rare times when a film brings about sensitivity, a social awakening and a couple of tears as a token of emotions that are fomented by its brilliance. Don’t get us wrong. We are not saying that this film will make people take to the streets and protest. It makes no such claims. It addresses an issue which is seething under the pressure of progress – parenting and elevating education. Why these are the deeply connected fundamental issues, on which a society stands on!

The film, like other notable films in the recent past, walks on the path of idealism. It is about the ‘underdog’- the marginalized. It is also about optimism, the spirit of life and ultimately the heavenly delight of an extremely less probable victory. It gives us Ram Shankar Nikumbh who labors to prove to the world – boy’s parents, principal of the school and importantly the audience that difference should not translate into defect. If the boy cannot write clearly, he can paint like no other. The film celebrates this difference. Tare Zameen Par portrays emotions in a way, no other bollywood movie has ever managed to. It gives a practical description of how flamboyant can simplicity be.

Let us put our hands together and applaud a sincere effort coming from one of the most creative brains of our film industry - Aamir Khan. Also, let’s not forget Amol Gupte, Darsheel Safary and the entire TZP team for their vital contributions. Such films give us a hope that creativity still exists in our film industry full of absurdity. This film needs to reach the masses and let’s be a part of ‘word-of-mouth’ movement.

The above article is very true.Hindi cinema in the past two years have seen social sensitive issues beign raised, tackled and potrayed in an extremely efficient way so that it is well understood by the masses as well as the classes.We had movies like RDB which spared down revolution in the nations it inspired the people to take on to streets and get thier things done ,HALLA BOL i suppose will be the other in queue but TZP
is different it doesnt tell you to yell infact it leaves you speechless and forces you to have a look inside yourself and realise that though u cannot be good at everything you can be good at a thing at which no one can challenege you, as darsheel in the movie can paint much better than his counterparts but more importantly than his teachers.
The film is a must watch as every child is suffering from that expectation phobia of parents, it is a must watch for parents,for would be a parents, and for future parents.
TZP deserves all d cresit that it is getting

I want to thank Aamir Khan & his team for the movie.
As we all know, studies have always been given more importance than any extracrriculars like art, sports, music,... it's a great mantra for new generation parents as well as the children who are 'not so good' at studies, but great in their extracorriculars.
