Classy and charming. Composed and elegant. Aamir Khan delivers his first baby with élan. The hard labor shows in a compassionate portrayal of a sensitive issue.

We recommend a mandatory viewing for all schools and all parents.

The film’s success is the result of both Amole Gupte’s tremendous script, and Aamir Khan’s nurturing supervision. Neither could have achieved this without the other. Be prepared to shed tears, not because it’s always a sad story, but because it’s such an overwhelming experience.

Taare Zameen Par is, above all else, an earnest film.

Aamir brings us the debut of both a great child actor and a budding director with a fine eye, though he seems slightly Ashutosh’d in terms of pace. Economy is the one thing this film cries out for. Crisper, tighter, and less repetitive, and we’d have a very good movie on our hands. For now, we have a director with clear potential for solid work. And we need as many of those as we can get.

While the climax of Lagaan was set in a cricket match, here it is in an art competition, but the effect is as rivetting and cheering. Ishaan, the underdog, the boy who is a ‘disgrace’ to his parents, school and orthodox teachers with his blunders, low marks and aggressive behaviour blooms into the hero of the day, all because of the farsighted and motivated Nikumbh ‘Sir’ who waters this human plant with compassion, sympathy and affection instead of pouring reprimands, beatings, criticisms and ridicule on him!

I strongly suggest that every school make it an exception to take bus loads of their school children along with all support staff to view this movie. It is a must-watch. Also, it will be good if it is made Tax Free, that way it will reach to an even wider audience.
