Movie Night Once Again, Finally!!

I finally got around to watching a movie at a cinema hall (multiplex) after what seems to be forever. We went to City Centre, bought tickets for the 9.50pm show at INOX and headed towards a much desired taste of Chicken for Dinner. What better place that KFC to relish all the chicken, one can have; Zingers, Snackers et al. So after licking my fingers under the keen eye of every passer by, we headed out to watch the movie everyone was talking about: Taare Zameen Par.

You know its money and time well spent when you go to watch an Aamir Khan movie. The man has reason to make one film in several years. The last Aamir Khan movie I watched was Rang De Basanti and need I rave about that too, or Lagaan or Dil Chahta Hai. No I’m sure we all enjoyed all those movies and agree that Aamir doesn’t need to stoop down to petty Bllywood tittle-tattle on who’s the best actor or Super star… he’s in a league of his own. Yes AB & SRK are the superstars with all the glam sham but Aamir is the true actor of Bollywood. His selection of films and the delivery thereafter in terms of direction, acting, cinematography, casting is impeccable. Not to doubt the time he spends on researching and making each film.

I have to add that the character of Ishaan Awasthi, the dyslexic boy played by Darsheel Safary, who the story revolves around, was just spectacular. Aamir Khan as usual doesn’t try to steal the limelight and gives the right of stardom to the subject and message he’s trying to convey through his film. Of course it wouldn’t be fair if one didn’t praise him for his brilliant acting. The man has the ability to spin a tale and get tears in your eyes or then make you want to jump and dance with joy.

Taare Zameen Par is a must watch and Shankar Ehsaan Loy have just made it more so with their contribution of music. So if you haven’t seen it yet, I believe you should.
