Revisiting Aamir Khan’s Taare Zameen Par after reading Carl Honoré’s In Praise of Slowness

Besides being a well-crafted and earnest drama, Taare Zameen Par is one of those few Indian films which explore the philosophy of “slow”.

It was one of those evenings of my sophomore year when I got introduced to slow movement in cinema. The slow movement which began with Carlo Petrini’s protest against the opening of a McDonald’s restaurant in Pizza di Spagna (Piazza di Spagna), Rome in 1986 further developed as a culture and philosophy in various aspects such as traveling, education, parenting and life in general.

I came across a book titled  In Praise of Slow: Challenging the Cult of Speed (2004) by Carl Honoré. Quite excited, I read the book and I was reminded of Taare Zameen Par (2007). Most of the ideas, themes, and philosophies discussed in the book took me back to the movie. After completing the book, I felt an urge to revisit the movie, and having watched the movie again after all these years with a completely different mindset I can safely say that Taare Zameen Par is one of those rare Indian movies which explores the philosophical and cultural significance of “slow.”

High On Films in collaboration with Avanté

There is a dialogue in the movie which goes like this,

“Kab samjhenge ki har baccha apne hisaab se wazan uttha ta hai. Aaj nahin to kal seekh hi jaata hai. Apni apni raftaar hoti hai . Paancho ungliyo ka haath banta hai.”

Trans: “When will people understand that every child has his own pace of doing work . With time they learn the ways of the world. Everyone has their own speed. Why forget that a hand is made of five fingers.”

This pretty much echoes Carl Honoré’s comment on slow movement,

“It [slow movement] is a cultural revolution against the notion that faster is always better. The slow philosophy is not about doing everything at a snail’s pace. It is about seeking to do everything at the right speed .”

While re-watching the movie what struck me was the dynamics of the “Awasthi” family. It is quite evident that Ishaan’s(played by Darsheel Safary) father due to this fast-paced competitive world has succumbed to the capitalistic approach of parenting. In one scene when Nikumb (played by Aamir Khan ) explains to Ishaan’s parents that Ishaan is not a “retard” and shows his paintings to prove his statement, Ishaan’s father(played by Vipin Sharma) asks, “Issme fyada kya hai?” (Trans: What’s the benefit?)

Nikumb replies, “Issme aap fyada kyun dhund rahe hai?(Trans:Why are you searching for a benefit in this?)” to which Ishaan’s father replies, ” To aur kya dhundoo! Kaise barabari kar payaega iss competitive duniya k saath!”(Trans: What else shall I search for! How will we compete with the competitive world out there!)

Ishaan’s father wants materialistic success from his children and if one focuses upon the character of Ishaan’s elder brother Yohaan, one realizes that he is a successful product of capitalistic parenting.

Taare Zameen Par

Honoré writes in his book,

“Perhaps kids suffer the most from the orgy of acceleration. They are growing up faster than ever before. Many children are now as busy as their parents, juggling diaries packed with everything from after-school tutoring to piano lessons and football practice.”

Yohan is a victim too. A victim who does not dare to resist (unlike Ishaan) and has succumbed to this fast-paced world just like his parents. This merciless pace has made the relationship between Ishaan and his family superficial to such an extent that he feels ostracized. One must remember the flip-book which when flipped at a faster rate shows Ishaan getting separated from his family. All Ishaan needed was time. Time is an important factor when the philosophy of slow is considered.

Honoré writes,

“The clock is the operating system of modern capitalism, the thing that makes everything else possible-meetings, deadlines, contracts, manufacturing processes, schedules, transport, working shifts.”

The choreography of the song Jaame Raho expresses this idea conspicuously. The first sound that we hear at the beginning of the song is the beeping of the alarm clock . Ishaan’s parents wake up with a horrified face as if they are some factory laborers reacting to the siren and would be punished if they don’t follow time.

Throughout the song Ishaan’s family is multi-tasking. His father (played by Vipin Sharma) is typing on a laptop while eating. Yohan is reading while eating. This habit of multitasking itself destroys the philosophy of slow i.e. “Doing everything as well as possible instead of as fast as possible.”

On the contrary, Ishaan wakes up at his own pace and does not register the fast pace. Maybe the character of Ishaan is a symbol of resistance against the fast-paced world .

review writing on taare zameen par

First few minutes into the movie and we see teachers speaking in an authoritative tone defining Ishaan in numbers thus limiting his identity to one aspect. This establishes the power relation between two bodies – the individual(Ishaan) and the institution(parents, school and society in general).

Ishaan’s struggle is against the authority of school, parents and society in general and the main objective of his struggle is not to attack an institution of power but rather a form and technique of power i.e. the power and dominance of a fast-paced world which does not give space to a pace of one’s own.

Consider the scene when Ishaan speaks gibberish in class. The teacher forces Ishaan by the power of her position to come out from his respective pace and be a part of a class that is in a different pace. Ishaan tries and fails. And here the teacher fails to understand that Ishaan requires a pace of his own to cope with the class. She fails to understand that she needs to help Ishaan strike a balance between the fast and the slow. Being succumbed to a fast-paced world, she fails to reflect and what she only does is react ! Thus, the teacher shouts. But the interesting thing is that Ishaan does not succumb to that violence in her speech. Instead, he acts as a resistance and shouts gibberish in a fast manner as a way of protest expressing how nonsensical this way of the world seems to him.

Taare Zameen Par

He also dismisses the concept of scheduling and time. When he is sitting for the “surprise test” he does not fear time (as if time is non-existent).

In the song Mera Jaahan we see how he rejects the time-bound school routine and explores the beauty of streets and savors its pleasures slowly. One specific moment in the song when he sees the construction being done explores slow philosophy.

In the script, it is written,

“17C FXT. ROAD CONSTRUCTION SITE-DAY

A huge earth-mover in action as it crunches into a tar road stretch. Pan over faces of people who have taken their time out from their daily chores and formed a crowd to watch this momentous event; so what if it doesn’t concern their mundane daily lives! The pan on the faces ends with ISHAAN’s sweaty face, his eyes shining with discovery. Again, the awesome jaws of the earth-mover crunch on the tar.”

Now, you may say that one can’t be slow all the time. But the thing is-slow does not mean “slow”. It is a balance between the fast and the slow. We see Ishaan struggling to strike that balance. Consider the dream sequence when Ishaan gets separated from his mother (played by Tisca Chopra) in a railway station. Ishaan gets lost in the crowd and when the train starts moving, he cannot match up to the fast pace of the train. He also faces a problem when a ball is thrown towards him because he has his own pace of comprehending speed which does not match with the rest of the world. He is clueless as to how he can strike a balance.

review writing on taare zameen par

“Einstein appreciated the need to marry the two modes of thought: Computers are incredibly fast, accurate and stupid. Human beings are incredibly slow, inaccurate, and brilliant. Together they are powerful beyond imagination. That is why the smartest, most creative people know when to let the mind wander and when to knuckle down to hard work. In other words, when to be slow and when to be fast.”

Now, the question is – How to strike the balance?

Perhaps we should reflect rather than react . When Ranjeet’s (played by Ramit Gupta) mother complains Ishaan’s father about the playground brawl, we don’t see his father asking Ishaan what’s wrong. Instead, he immediately reacts and thrashes him. In the boarding school during his art class when he looks outside the window and observes the birds, the art teacher beats him up instead of communicating with him. This impatient reaction rather than reflection leads to violence-physical and mental.

Honoré opines,

“Opting out of the culture of speed involves a leap of faith and it is always easier to leap when you know others are leaping, too.”

This statement’s exact visual representation (in terms of the essence) is seen in the movie when Nikumb takes the names of famous personalities in class who are like Ishaan. This makes Ishaan realize that there are many more like him which does not makes him feel alone.

Now, one might ask whether Aamir Khan and Amole Gupte (who wrote the film) intended to address the importance of slow through the movie, or is it just my over reading. Well, they intended. If one carefully observes the opening credits of the movie then at one point we see a hare(symbolizing speed) and a tortoise (symbolizing slow) sitting on a see-saw (designed like a watermelon) and balancing each other out which is basically the metaphor for slow philosophy-To strike a balance between the fast and the slow. Apart from making the whole nation aware of something known as dyslexia, the movie also tried to introduce us to the philosophy of slow and its importance in our lifestyle.

Positive Messages

Every child is special and unique in their own way. Pressurizing kids into scoring better grades is wrong. One should not be afraid of being different from the norm.

Positive Role Models

Ishaan is a free-spirited and utterly creative young boy. He stays resilient even when no one understands his dyslexia. Ram Shankar Nikumbh is an honest and determined teacher. He stands with Ishaan and helps him learn at a rate he is comfortable with. Yohaan, Ishaan's brother, and Rajan, Ishaan's friend, support and care for him throughout.

Diverse Representations

All characters are Indian with the film panning across Mumbai. Characters have dyslexia, developmental disorders, and locomotor disabilities but they are not defined by their condition.

Violence & Scariness

A child contemplates suicide. There are several brawls between kids that cause scrapes and bruises. A child is slapped on multiple occasions and scolded repeatedly. Characters smack each other playfully. A person throws a lit firecracker at someone; no injury. Someone throws chalk at a child and later hits them with a ruler. A character bunks school and wanders on the road by themselves. The movie shows how some children are more vulnerable to being forced into child labor.

What's the Story?

LIKE STARS ON EARTH follows eight-year-old Ishaan (Darsheel Safary), a carefree young boy who struggles with his grades in school. Unable to understand him, his father forcefully sends him to a boarding school. Will his new art teacher, Ram Shankar Nikumbh ( Aamir Khan ), be able to help him?

Is It Any Good?

In this bittersweet Indian drama, fierce writing, heartwarming tunes, and adorable animations are all intricately interwoven together. Like Stars on Earth (aka Taare Zameen Par ) reveals harsh truths about the education system's failure to accommodate diversity due to its obsession with uniformity and discipline. The ruthless competition and unfair stress children have to face is poignantly critiqued through the vulnerability that Safary's portrayal of Ishaan delivers. Intense, gripping, and emotionally intimate, the film deliciously explores Ishaan's rich interior world that sharply contrasts his exterior one where he's constantly ridiculed. A simple tale that's both sensitive and sensible, and a film that shouldn't be missed.

CHENNAI, India — In “Taare Zameen Par” — “Star on the Ground” being the loose translation — Bollywood mainstream actor Aamir Khan has produced, directed (his debut) and acted in a radically different work from films where he made his name. Ostensibly about the learning disability dyslexia, Khan’s film goes beyond this into the realm of India’s education system. Raking in roughly $3.8 million in the opening weekend with 425 prints across the country, the film is targeted to young audiences.

Eight-year-old Ishaan Awasthi (Darsheel Safary) is a dyslexic boy, shamed and shunned by the world because he cannot keep pace with his class. His parents, Mr Awasthi (Vipin Sharma) and Maya Awasthi (Tisca Chopra), are at first bewildered because their elder son, Yohaan (Sachet Engineer), is a genius at the top of his class. Later, they get angry, particularly when Ishaan bunks school and gets his brother to forge a leave letter. When they decide to put him in a boarding school, things get worse for Ishaan, being away from the little support he got from his mother.

Ishaan soon gives up even what he loves doing best, playing with his pet fishes, painting or just daydreaming. He withdraws into a shell, refusing to smile or to talk to anybody. It is then that a new arts teacher, Ram Shankar Nikumbh (Khan), enters the school, understands Ishaan’s problem and gradually gets him to reconnect with his surroundings. The end is disappointingly predictable, but Khan manages to convey the boy’s trauma with wonderful sensitivity, telling the story by imaginatively using animation and music.

Khan keeps the narrative and the camera focused on Ishaan. In fact, the director first appears midway in the movie, and is admirably low-keyed throughout, letting his compassion for Ishaan turn into real affection. Acting honors clearly belong to Safary, who is brilliant. Completely misunderstood, he portrays the frustration of a child who cannot understand why the alphabets in his book dance or why his teachers and parents are so unfeeling. In stark contrast, we see him rejoice in his small private space with the joys of color. An avid painter, he creates a world where numbers and letters have little meaning.

Despite great performances, the movie suffers from a weak script. In this day and age, that teachers in the two reputed, upmarket schools that Ishaan attends are not aware of his disability lacks credibility. Worse, the teachers are made out to be monsters since Khan and writer Amole Gupte want to show the contrasting attitude of the new arts master. Such exaggerations mar what could have been an even greater work.

Taare zameen par – a review.

Taare Zameen Par – A Review

If I were to describe  Taare Zameen Par  in one line, I’d  say – A movie that takes you back to your childhood days and makes you question society’s insistence on being the best.

Aamir Khan’s directorial debut TZP is the story of a dyslexic boy struggling for his identity. Ishaan Awasthi (Darsheel Safary) is a misfit in a world enamoured by grades, ranks and trophies. Labelled a loser by his teachers, friends and classmates; he finds no sympathy and understanding at home. Taare highlights not only the child’s struggle but also the subtle ways in which parents burden a child with their expectations, sometimes killing their inherent talents.

Taare Zamen Par evokes a strong sense of nostalgia and takes you back to your childhood days – vibrant colours, paper planes, pranks, homework and weird teachers in school. Aamir shows tremendous potential as a director in his debut movie. He beautifully captures the world from Ishaan’s eyes. Although in the scene where Ishaan is attempting, the maths quiz is highly reminiscent of Calvin’s (Calving and Hobbes) spaceman spiff stunts.

review writing on taare zameen par

Music of the movie is average with a few good songs – Title song, Maa and Mera Jahaan.

All the actors have performed realistically. The teachers, with their weird peculiarities, make the viewer laugh. Darsheel gives a brilliant performance.

Overall a great movie and must watch. It might just make some parents realize that they are not merely raising a child but shaping someone’s personality.

I’m not a fan of Aamir Khan but watched the movie because of the reviews…The best part here is they’ve tried to handle a very sensitive and touching subject that parents of most of the children suffering with this disorder tend to miss…

the obviously sad or bad part is it was totally bogged down with emotions…I cant handle too much drama though 🙂

How can one not love a movie about children crafted with utmost compassion - children with special needs at that? But, is that the only reason I liked Tare Zameen Par ? Maybe - maybe not. What I know for sure is that a strong one-line story is narrated extremely charmingly. It is truly uplifting when spirit wins and yet , it is not all about the spirit of winning.

Tare Zameer Par is about a child who suffers because no one around him recognizes that he is a slow learner. The beauty of the narration is that the message applies to all children - learning disability or not. How can creativity not deserve a place in academics? It also points a very subtle finger at how we build conformation in our system right at the roots.

The pace of the first half gives you time to think of normal children who are just not academically inclined. The resolution in the second half, however, comes by too quickly compared to the trauma shown earlier. But, I guess, if the point is to show that difficulties can be overcome, you don't necessarily want to show how difficult it is to overcome them.

About 45 minutes post-interval, Darsheel Safary (Ishaan) said a line which made me realize that he hadn't said a line in the last hour or so. There I was feeling sorry for Ishaan, feeling like yelling at someone to give him a big hug while I fought this lump in my throat that had been there for the longest time. All this based solely on Darsheel's expressions and body language!

Kudos to the director for taking this decision and many such with brilliant confidence. And, finally we have a dialogue writer who knows when not to give the actors a helping hand. There are a couple of verbose, preachy scenes. But, they made the point because they were well written.

Aamir Khan's entry into the movie seemed over-the-top and forced, mainly because it was in absolute contrast with the tone of the movie thus far. But after a little while you realize that you can't distinguish between the actor/director Aamir Khan and his character Nikhumb. They are both fighting the same cause. Passionately. The other characters serve their purpose as caricatures - stereotypical father, loving mother, understanding sibling, ruthless teacher, and jeering peers.

No matter who or what the focus of the camera is, the love it feels towards its subjects shows in each frame. And, in turn, you fall in love with what you see on screen. Compositions, lighting, angles, colors all work successfully together to engross you and very often to enchant you. The lingering camera might have added a good 10-15 minutes to the run-time. But you will be hard-pressed to point out exact scenes which the movie could have done without. Everything is building character or atmosphere or both.

The songs too contribute to the narrative. The lyrics are sheer poetry. I know-I know, that's what they are supposed to be, but can't remember the last time lyrics brought me to tears. "mein kabhi batlaata nahi" kept me speechless (and we all know how difficult that is!). And rock-style guitar strumming to a kids' song - that's what I call creative.

Yes, that dash of seemingly inevitable melodrama exists. The side-characters transform for no apparent reason. The climax is exaggerated and is as unrealistic as it could get. However, the aim is to show not reality of life but reality of the condition that this child suffers from. Once you get that, you pardon the make-up a mother is wearing at 6 AM while doing her chores. And anyway, most of this is towards the end, by which time you are willing to forgive. Because, above all else, it makes you think.

When did we grow up? When along the way did we forget what it felt like to be yelled at, to be put down, to be ridiculed? And why did we choose the next generation for revenge? Will we recognize the child in us that is struggling to get out? Will the sensation that the lump in the throat created, stay after the credits roll?

Plot Summary

Ishaan Awasthi (Darsheel Safary) is a dyslexic, but no one around him knows that. Ram Nikhumb (Aamir Khan) puts his faith in Ishaan and helps him work on his weaknesses and enhance his strengths.

What Worked

  • The gutter scene in the beginning, beautifully shot!
  • Titles - adorable!
  • The manner in which the street vendors were captured in the sequence where Ishaan is roaming on the streets.
  • The shudder Darsheel gives when the car starts (at the hostel).
  • The way Ishaan's character has developed. You know he is the kind who would hate showing his tears in public and thus refrains from crying when he is hit on his knuckles.
  • Portrayal of how color is sucked out of Ishaan, a child whose only true love is colors.
  • The scenes in which Ishaan is shown gazing at the scenery - a breathtaking composition.

What did not

  • How can a school which boasts of discipline allow a parent to interrupt class?
  • The principal of the school did not look stern enough to be such a stickler for discipline.
  • How come Ishaan became such a sudden favorite at school that he got a standing ovation?

Nitty-Gritty

  • Teachers announcing marks of 60 children in front of the whole class, as if she was taking a roll call. Where does that happen? Marks usually are kept secret. And even if marks are announced they are just of the highest and the lowest scorers.
  • Ishaan wears a uniform that is two sizes bigger than what he needs. Again, superficial things purposefully used to exaggerate situation and evoke empathy.
  • Where did Ishaan get money to buy the gola (ice-candy) and take a bus ride? He used his school bus to go home, why would a third grader have money?

Pooja, I know exactly what you mean!

TinuAnand, I in variably have at least one review out on Friday evening. The only Friday I have missed as far as I can remember is November 9th because it was Diwali. So, do check every Friday! Do not miss this one in the theaters and do come back and let us know what you thought!

Biswa, absolutely!!

hi i think the movie is fantastick......... it makes the audience to think out of the conventional box at least in the matter of children ........ the children those who are weak in the conventional studies....... it is also an well directed by the debutant Amir Khan as director...... as a actor he is my hero........... it will be sad if move will not be hit ......... but it is imperative that movie will not be as hit the other bollywodd movies are .......... reat is well made movie............

Taare Zameen par was a heart touching movie. It is brillantly directed and the movie is as perfect as Aamir Khan. He has always been a powerful force in making his movies a complete finished product and now we see his total dedication in bringing out one of the best movies Bollywood or rather the world has ever seen. This is Oscar material. check my blog: http://bollywoodtrends.blogspot.com for moview review on Taare zameen par

Thanks universelingal!

Thanks Thejesh, it would be great feedback to know why.

Puneet - i think, copying or "getting inspired" is okay if it is done well.

Thanks a ton, Ashish K!

This movie teaches a lesson to the guardian as well as teacher how to behave their child or student, behaving abnormal or very different from the behavior of common children. This movie is really great i love the role of the child by name Ishant in the movie and i admire Aamir, its director and story writter. This movie will be appreciated by every class of the society so this is its beauty.

THATS A REALLY GOOD MOVIE BUT I WAS A BIT BORED AT THE END (THE PAINTING COMPETING) THAT WHERE THE MOVIE SLOWSDOWN~~~STILL I WOULDGIVE 3.5/5

Thanks Sailesh!

its been a very good story in which it has been told about children that all are not the same every child has some weak & strong points also that everyone has different thinking & way of expressing also the parents should look forward to the child and his problems

i love this movi becoz it is so good i like it and i like the role of amir khan

TZP what a wonderful cinema for children. my baby long time watch this cinema.my babies r 2.5 years oldand 5+. they like this cinema very much.

Aamir Khan's charm and brilliance has worked yet again.It's not just a movie,it's an advice to follow for generations to come.

great movie!

i like Tare Zameen Par a nice flim,no words to tell about it a good story good direction .i am an fan of Aamir Khan.

this movie was in my heart and it is still there. In the modern world we have a lot of problems to accept each other for who and what they are. We need develop then skills. Because only then can we live peacefully

The movie was very an inspirational. Every scene tuoched and soften my heart that i cried hard enough to heaven. the connotes a hearstring and awaken the minds of the teachers who cant understand the individual dirrences. i really love the movie, is best movie i ever seen.I felt so much better after watching the movie. The movie which a child may or may not understand but one which every parent/teacher should watch to understand their child. i recommend this movie to all, spicially the teachers.

I have seen many hindi movies about the plight of children Mother India was the most powerful, this particular movie has delivered strong messages about the misfortunes and suffering of childern was again. Aamir Khan is an actor whom I rate very highly as his ability to adapt into character and carry the strong screen prescence is unprecendented amongst the modern Indian film stars. He is definitely one of my favourites his apperance in Lagaan was top notch. http://www.vimax-review.com/ http://www.vimax-review.com/do-vimax-pills-work http://www.vimax-review.com/vimax-free-trial http://www.vimax-review.com/vimax-video-testimonial

Sad that i missed this movie to watch on 2007. But got a chance to see this movie yesterday. WAS absolutely went to tears after seeing the movie, especially the scene where Ishan got first prize and runs and hug amir khan with lot of tears in his eyes was very touching. A good message for all parents and teachers. As amir khan says to boy parents just look after him, its a beautiful message for each and every parent.

Thanks amir khan for a master piece

heart touching movie..jst luv it...beautiful message...

Now this one is the pride of my DVD shelf (cupboard). Every time I watch it i get the goosebumps and the eyes flood. Rewatched it yesterday by chance. Was just swapping channels and hit upon Zee Cinema which was airing the film.

A gem of a film. Reminds me each time that I am human and that childhood must be a carefree age to do and go where the imaginative mind takes you.

its a beautiful movie which gives you mixed emotions.

Best movie I ever see in my life. Besides entertainment, there are also many things to learn from Taare Zameen Par . A must watch!

one of the best movies i have came across, heart touching with a good amount of emotional vision

superb movie to watch .. aamir khan did great job director dada

I have watched this movie several times. It is not just a movie but something that happens everyday. This movie is one in a kind

this is one of the best movie i have ever seen

Taare Zameen Par Movie Review: Taare Zameen Par Movie

Taare zameen par review 4/5 & rating. watch taare zameen par official trailer video, listen songs, movie news updates, movie review and checkout public movie reviews soon., taare zameen par review {4/5} & review rating.

Come to think of it, after two back-to-back hits [RANG DE BASANTI, FANAA], Aamir Khan could've given a positive nod to any masala flick and chosen to work with anyone he desired. But he preferred to make a film on a dyslexic kid, make him the focal point of the story and don three caps -- producer, actor and director.

At the very outset, let's make one thing clear. TAARE ZAMEEN PAR isn't one of those films that merely entertains, but also enlightens. TAARE ZAMEEN PAR is one film that makes you peep into a child's mind and how some parents, in their pursuit to make them 'stronger' academically, forget that there's hitherto untapped talent that needs to be nourished and encouraged.

TAARE ZAMEEN PAR drives home a strong message, making you empathize with the kid, compelling you to draw parallels with your life, making one realize that some of the renowned geniuses were once scoffed at, but the world had to bow down to their intellect later.

Sure, TAARE ZAMEEN PAR boasts of a story that strikes a chord, but most importantly, it has been treated with such sensitivity and maturity that you're left shell-shocked in amazement by the sheer impact it leaves at the end of this 18 reeler.

TAARE ZAMEEN PAR heralds the birth of a topnotch storyteller -- Aamir Khan. To choose a story that's a far cry from the mundane stuff that's being churned out like factory products, requires courage and conviction and to execute it with panache is a rarity.

Those who somewhere nursed a grudge that the camera follows Aamir in all his films, will chew their words once they watch TAARE ZAMEEN PAR. Yes, Aamir has a key role to portray as an actor, but the camera captures the child's emotions like never before in a Hindi film. Also, let's also clear the myth about TAARE ZAMEEN PAR being a kiddie film. It's not! It's about children. Note the difference!

In a nutshell, TAARE ZAMEEN PAR serves as a wake up call for every parent or parent-to-be. Also, it heralds the arrival of a magnificent storyteller -- Aamir Khan. At the end of the day, it's not difficult to choose who's better -- Aamir, the actor or Aamir, the director. TAARE ZAMEEN PAR is a triumph all the way from the director's point of view.

Ishaan Awasthi [Darsheel Safary] is an eight-year-old whose world is filled with wonders that no one else seems to appreciate; colors, fish, dogs and kites are just not important in the world of adults, who are much more interested in things like homework, marks and neatness. And Ishaan just cannot seem to get anything right in class.

When he gets into far more trouble than his parents can handle, he is packed off to a boarding school to 'be disciplined'. Things are no different at his new school and Ishaan has to contend with the added trauma of separation from his family.

One day a new art teacher bursts onto the scene, Ram Shankar Nikumbh [Aamir Khan], who infects the students with joy and optimism. He breaks all the rules of 'how things are done' by asking them to think, dream and imagine, and all the children respond with enthusiasm, all except Ishaan.

Nikumbh soon realizes that Ishaan is very unhappy and he sets out to discover why. With time, patience and care, he ultimately helps Ishaan find himself.

On face-value, TAARE ZAMEEN PAR looks like a kiddie film, but as the story unfolds, you realize that the story peeps into the mind and heart of a kid, his interests, his hobbies, his strengths and weaknesses. The director opens the cards at the very outset, when you realize that the kid is just not interested in books/studies. And his interaction with his stern father, doting mother and lovable brother is straight out of life.

A number of sequences in the first hour leave you spellbound --

  • Ishaan's altercation with the neighboring kid over a cricket ball;
  • Ishaan's parents' decision of putting him in a hostel and Ishaan's constant pleas falling on deaf ears;
  • Ishaan going into a shell in the boarding school, looking disinterested in life. Also, the art teacher punishing him for his inattentive behavior.

There are several moments in the first hour that make you moist-eyed. The bonding between the mother and son is remarkable. These moments effectively capture the special bonding, making you realize that a mother's mere touch can act like a soothing balm on a troubled soul.

Aamir takes the courageous stand of placing the story on Ishaan's shoulders right through the first hour and not once do you feel that the kid doesn't have the power to keep your attention arrested.

The second hour is equally challenging and most importantly, motivating. The introduction of Aamir's character, Aamir spotting the indolent Ishaan, Aamir traveling to Mumbai to meet Ishaan's parents and then citing examples of extra-ordinary men who were ridiculed by their contemporaries/peers -- these moments linger in your memory even after the show has concluded.

But the best part is reserved for the finale -- the art competition in the penultimate twenty minutes. The emotions reach an all-time high as the kid regains his confidence. The finale would melt even the stone-hearted!

Directorially, Aamir Khan deserves distinction marks for extracting an exemplary performance from the kid and handling the plot with supreme sensitivity. In his debut film itself, Aamir proves that he's a gifted storyteller, someone who has the courage to swim against the tide and also convince the viewer that there's more to film-making than the mere masala entertainers. Bravo!

Setu's cinematography is mesmeric. The camera captures every minute detail, every emotion, every tear with precision. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy's music is easy on the ears. 'Bum Bum Bole', 'Jame Raho' and the title track are first-rate compositions. Prasoon Joshi's lyrics in 'Maa' deserve special mention. Editing [Deepa Bhatia] does justice to the material. Only thing, the film, if trimmed [second hour], will only be more impactful. Animation and visual effects are fantastic.

TAARE ZAMEEN PAR belongs to Master Darsheel Safary. A performance that make the best of performances pale in comparison. A performance that deserves brownie points. A performance that'll always come first on your mind the moment someone mentions TAARE ZAMEEN PAR. A performance that's impeccable, flawless and astounding. A performance that moves you and makes you reflect on your growing years. A performance that merits a special award!

Aamir is excellent. Note his scenes with the father of the kid. First, when he visits their home. Next time, when he cites the example of Solomon Islands. Splendid! Tisca Chopra is outstanding. Here's an actress who needs to be lapped up in a big way by film-makers.

Tanay Cheda [as Ishaan's friend Rajan Damodaran] is excellent. Vipin Sharma [Ishaan's father] is slightly theatrical. Sachet Engineer [Ishaan's elder brother] is apt. The teachers have performed well.

On the whole, TAARE ZAMEEN PAR is an outstanding work of cinema. To miss it would be sacrilege. It has everything it takes to win awards and box-office rewards!

Do yourselves a favor. Watch TAARE ZAMEEN PAR with your child. It will change your world. It will also change the way you look at your kids!

Taare Zameen Par Movie Review

Check out the Welcome Review too

Aamir Khan’s directorial debut is reason enough to get excited and watch Taare Zameen Par. The movie sees Aamir in 3 roles Actor – Director – Producer.

Taare Zameen Par Story

The movie is about an 8 year old boy Ishaan Awasthi (Darsheel Safary) who finds it difficult to match his world of colors, kites and animals to that of the others in his age group, who are more into studies and homework. When complaints start to pour in, Ishaan�s parents decide to set him off to a boarding school. His life is no different at the boarding school, oppressed and insulted by his teachers, he remains the laugh stock of the class. Now that he is away from home, he feels even more dejected, inferior and finds it tough to cope up with his inabilities.

Ram Shankar Nikumbh (Aamir Khan) gets appointed as a temporary art teacher of the boarding school. Unlike other teachers who follow definite norms in educating children, Ram makes them think out of books, outside the four walls of the classroom and paint their imaginations. Every child in class responds with immense enthusiasm except Ishaan. Ram takes effort to understand Ishaan and his problems. He makes Ishaan�s parents and other teachers realize that he is not abnormal but a very special child with talents of his own. With time, patience and care Ram succeeds in boosting the confidence level of Ishaan. He helps Ishaan in overcoming his inabilities and re-discover his lost confidence.

Taare Zameen Par Review

The story is unusual but not unknown. The message that the story tries to convey is already known to us, but most of us just remain ignorant to it. Aamir Khan, the director, has handled the delicate theme with dexterity and precision. He has not just succeeded in making every child a hero but actually helped us see a child in ourselves. Just like no man is perfect no matter what position he commands in the society, every child with both their ability and inabilities is special and talented in their own way. The movie isn�t just about a child suffering from dyslexia and his challenges, it�s also about how parents get carried away by today�s competitive world and fail to understand their child�s dreams and nurture their inborn talents.

Unlike any other enlightening entertainer which focuses more on the hero, Aamir has given the child more footage and captured every emotion deftly thereby focusing on its root cause and maintaining its significance throughout the movie. A number of sequences leave you moist eyed and you feel deeply attached to the child. At the end of the movie you are left speechless and spellbound. Music by Shanker � Ehsaan – Loy is great and lyrics by Prasoon Joshi are brilliant, they blend well with the movie.

However the movie is not without its share of flaws. The editing could have been tighter; it tends to drag a bit while being repetitive at times. A few cinematic liberties have been taken too, like how can the child venture out of the boarding school at night?

Taare Zameen Par Peformances

Darsheel Safary, the kiddo, delivers a knockout performance. His expressions, body language, eyes, dialogue delivery � absolutely perfect. The best lead performance of the year, deserves the best actor award. Aamir Khan as usual is excellent in a supporting role. Aamir fans could be disappointed to see him missing in the first half. Tisca Chopra is good. Vipin Sharma overacts a bit.

Indicine Verdict

Overall, Taare Zameen Par is a good emotional story with a message for the parents. The kids and parents will completely enjoy it. It was also pleasant to see the movie receiving a standing ovation while the credits rolled. At the all important box-office, the clash against another biggie Welcome would affect collections, but with strong word of mouth and Aamir Khan�s star power, the movie should be a winner commercially.

Movie Review: ‘Taare Zameen Par’ - Amalgamation of Parental Expectations and Personal Disappointments

review writing on taare zameen par

It is an amalgamation of parental expectations and personal disappointments. 

Cast and Introduction

‘Taare Zameen Par’ is arguably a gem and a movie that will bring tears to our eyes at some point, but leave us with a smile. It has a beautiful cast of talented actors- Aamir khan playing the role of Nikumb, Darsheel Safari essaying the role of Ishaan as leads. 

The movie shows the sad reality of the education system and the prejudice associated with parents.

Plot ( Spoiler Alert! ) 

The movie shows the struggle of an eight year old boy Ishaan Awasthi who is suffering from Dyslexia. He finds all the subjects difficult, scares badly and is disliked by his teachers, family and friends. He has a great talent of imagination, creativity and art and painting which are often disregarded. 

The part when he bunks school to hit the road on an adventurous spree just to enjoy and explore he observes everything. Tries to understand and grasp the world through his eyes and experience. 

When he paints a Gola the different colors infused and its beauty within it makes even that stand out. Reflecting how talented and gifted he is except for the fact that his family refuses to see this and understand his artistic side. 

In the movie Ishaan has an elder brother. He is shown as a Utopian child he is good in academics, he is shown passionate towards extracurricular for his passion towards tennis. Ishaan is compared and expected to behave like his brother. 

Ishaan’s internal world is full of imaginations and magical colors that nobody is able to see as they follow the dogmatic education system where grades decide one’s capabilities.   

The Theme of Depression 

Ishaan’s parents send him to a boarding school. Alone he rapidly sinks into a state of fear, anxiety and depression. His only friend is Rajan, a physically disabled boy, who is one of the top students. The boarding school teachers are even more abusive than his old school. Ishaan contemplates suicide but Rajan saves him. 

Ishaan is saved and his condition improves when a new cheerful and optimistic art teacher, Nikumb comes to his school. Nikumb’s teaching style is remarkably different from that of his strict and abusive predecessors and he quickly notes that Ishaan’s unhappiness, reviews Ishaan’s work and concludes that his academic shortcomings are indicative of dyslexia.

“Duniya main aise aise heera paida huye hain, jinhone saari duniya ka naksha hi badal diya … kyunki vo duniya ko apni alag nazar se dekh paaye”

- Ram Shankar Nikumb 

 He visits Ishaan’s parents where he is surprised to discover Ishaan’s hidden talent is art. He demonstrates to Ishaan's parents that  Ishaan has extreme difficulty in understanding letters and words due to dyslexia. Nandkishore labels it as mental retardation and dismisses it as laziness. Frustrated by Ishaan’s father, Nikumb leaves. 

Later his father realises and accepts Ishaan’s situation. His father meets Nikumb and earlier refuses to accept that Ishaan has a problem and instead believes that he is an ideal parent. He believed that only through strictness they could mold children. 

To which Nikumb makes him realize the practice where in Solomon Islands the tribals do not cut the tree instead they curse it. They form a circle and abuse it eventually it dies on its own. 

Depicting that only scoldings and finding faults in him will not make him better. Instead the encouragement and support to children is needed.

Societal Pressure and Toxicity in Surroundings 

It also depicts society's inability to accept mental health in a positive way. At school Nikumb brings up the topic of Dyslexia by offering him a list of famous people who were dyslexic. He comforts Ishaan by telling him how he struggled as a child as well. 

Nikumb obtains the principal’s permission to become Ishaan’s tutor. With gradual care, proper ways and methods he attempts to improve Ishaan’s reading and writing by using remedial techniques developed by Dyslexia specialists. Eventually resulting in improvement in Ishaan’s grades. 

At the end of the school year Nikumb organises an art and craft contest for the staff and students judged by Artist Lalita Lajmi. Ishaan with his strikingly creative style is declared the winner and Nikumb who paints Ishaan’s portrait is declared the runner up. 

When Ishaan’s parents meet his teachers on the last day of school they are left speechless by the transformation in him. Overcome the emotion Nandkishore thanks Nikumb. 

“Tu dhoop hai cham se bikhar

Tu hai nadi o bekhabar

Beh chal kahin

Ud chal kahin”

The Bottom Line 

This movie teaches us that -

“Har bacche ki apni khoobi hoti hai, apni kaabiliyat hoti hai, apni chahat hoti hai” 

My rating for the movie - 5/5

Movie Review: Taare Zameen Par

review writing on taare zameen par

CHECKLIST Rating: 5/5

Reviewer: Eloni, BA 2 nd Semester, Tetso College

The movie “Tare Zameen Par” is about an 8 year old boy Ishaan Awasthi who suffers from ‘dyslexia’, a learning disability. It is an attempt to understand the psychology behind the non-acceptance of such special children in the society by their parents, teachers, friends and others.

The movie displays the difficulties and struggles of a disabled and slow learner. Ishaan has strong imagination and his mind is full of different creative scenarios. He likes drawing and painting. He dislikes schools and fails every test and exams. He finds it difficult to understand and comprehend the subjects and is often insulted and belittled by his classmates and teachers.

review writing on taare zameen par

When complaints start to pour about his failures to his parents, his parents decide to send him off to a boarding school. It also showcases the roles and the difficulties faced by teachers, parents and friends in the development and understanding of a disabled. His life at the boarding school is no different; he feels rejected and dejected unable to cope up with his inabilities and the insults thrown at him.

Ram Shankar Nikumbh is appointed as a temporary art teacher at Ishaan’s school. Unlike other teachers Ram makes the student think outside of box and use their imagination and creativity. Ram notices that Ishaan was different and he then takes effort in understanding Ishaan. He makes Ishaan’s parents and teachers understand that he is not abnormal but a special child with talents of his own. Ram helps Ishaan overcome his problems and difficulties and boost his confidence level.

This movie is an example of the harsh realities of the world we live in. It reflects parental negligence which results in isolation and seclusion of the child. It conveys the message that every child is special in their own way and that we should not neglect them just because they are academically weak. It teaches us a human being to try to understand the disabled children better and help them grow.

Review: “Taare Zameen Par”

It really is not the norm to find a review of a movie amongst the pages of “Hiba” magazine, but we make an exception here and for deserved reasons. Read on…

There are many movies one may feel guilty of watching, but none can claim to look into a child’s mind and heart like “Taare Zameen Par” does. This movie isn’t the standard better-to-be avoided Bollywood potboiler with jarring music and mindless story-telling. Produced and directed by Aamir Khan, “Taare Zameen Par” educates about the very real but often misunderstood learning disability of dyslexia.

The protagonist of the movie is eight-year old Ishaan Awasthi (played by master Darsheel Safary), who often gets lost in his dream world. Scribbling drawings and day-dreaming seem to be all he does the whole day. Everyone from his teachers, neighbours to his parents seem to be at their wits end trying to figure out and straighten his ‘irresponsible’ behavior, as they perceive it to be. He often has no answers in class, never does his homework and is not able to write legibly. After much deliberation, Ishaan is sent by his parents to a boarding school with the hope of inculcating discipline in him much to his unhappiness.

At the boarding school, nothing much changes. On the contrary, Ishaan’s situation gets worse. He withdraws into his shell. Feeling abandoned by his family, he is unable to perform effectively in his academics. It is at this point that his teacher Ram Shankar Nikumbh (played by Aamir Khan) enters Ishaan’s life and discovers that Ishaan has an exceptional artistic talent and is actually very intelligent. Ram ascertains the fact that Ishaan is struggling through school and life at large because of dyslexia. The rest of the movie is about Ishaan’s strivings to rectify his learning disability with his teacher’s support, understanding and love, bouncing back to meet his true potential.

The movie is touching and heart-wrenching. One can’t help but feel overcome by emotions watching Ishaan’s struggles. “Taare Zameen Par” enlightens the viewers about dyslexia and the ways, how this learning disability can cripple the otherwise untapped talent and intelligence hidden in an innocent child, marring his self-esteem and progress in life. It reminds us to accept the fact that every child is created different, and that we need to curb our adult tendencies to force our children to conform to norms, without understanding our children as individuals.

“Taare Zameen Par” is surely an eye-opener for every parent out there. This movie can be recommended for its excellence in teaching about dyslexia and for its strong message of unconditional acceptance, which is conveyed in simple and touching terms, without the trappings of a typical movie.

Aamir Khan Reveals The Release Date Of His Film Sitaare Zameen Par; 'Unlike Taare Zameen Par...'

Fengyen Chiu

After a short break from acting, Aamir Khan is all set to return to the big screen with his film, Sitaare Zameen Par, a spiritual sequel to his film Taare Zameen Par. Khan recently attended the screening of Kiran Rao's film Laapataa Ladies and shared new details about his next film. Aamir, who had been away from the screen since Laal Singh Chaddha, has now shared the release date of his upcoming film.

Aamir was asked about Sitaare Zameen Par during the event, to which the actor revealed that he had started shooting for the film and hoped that the movie will be done by Christmas. He said, “I started shooting for my next film last week. We are trying to release it on Christmas this year. Let’s hope it comes by Christmas.”

In a previous interview, Aamir had shared that the Sitaare Zameen Par and Taare Zameen Par will have no connection with each other and both the movies are standalone films. He said, "I have started shooting for my new film, Sitaare Zameen Par from February 1. It is the next level of Taare Zameen Par, it is like part 2. It is not the same story and the characters are also not the same."

He continued, "The theme is the same but the difference is, unlike Taare Zameen Par, which left you with tears, Sitaare Zameen Par will leave in laughter. Prasanna is directing it and it is an entertaining film. We are looking at the same topic but with a different perspective.”

The actor had taken a hiatus from the acting following the failure of his ambitious film, Laal Singh Chaddha. Aamir's ex-wife Kiran Rao recently opened up about the film's failure and how it affected the actor and said, "It is really disheartening when you put in all the efforts, and it doesn’t work. Which happened with Laal Singh Chaddha. It definitely affected Aamir quite deeply, it affected all of us. It was a project that had seen a lot, done the COVID roller coaster and had been a dream project for Aamir. He had been working to get the rights of the film for a decade before we made it. It was disappointing."

From '12th Fail' To 'Black' - A List Of Heartwarming Films That Motivate

As black makes its digital premiere on netflix, let's look at similar inspiring stories streaming on ott platforms about how mentors' support can lead to success..

From '12th Fail' To 'Black' - A List Of Heartwarming Films That Motivate From '12th Fail' To 'Black' - A List Of Heartwarming Films That Motivate

New Delhi:  Bollywood is known for its diverse content, with films that relate to every emotion, and inspiration is one of them. As Black makes its digital premiere on Netflix, let's look at similar inspiring stories streaming on OTT platforms about how mentors' support can lead to success.

Released in 2023, 12th Fail is a biographical drama film directed, produced, and written by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, a filmmaker known for his diversity of work who has given multiple blockbusters. His ability to merge engaging storytelling with a focus on relevant social issues makes him stand out in the industry. ‘12th Fail’ is a story inspired by the real-life experiences of an IPS officer, Manoj Kumar Sharma, played by Vikrant Massey. This film throws light on how he overcame poverty and cracked the IAS with his mentor, Gauri Bhaiya, by his side, who taught him the mantra to keep going in tough times. The film's main idea is - If a situation is not in your favour, then it's time to 'Restart from Zero'.

A classic movie released in 2005, 'Black' is directed and co-produced by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and stars Amitabh Bachchan and Rani Mukerji in lead roles. ‘Black’ narrates the story of Michelle, a deaf, blind and mute girl, and how her teacher's dedication paved the path of possibilities by becoming her guiding light. What makes ‘Black’ stand out is how Debraj wasn’t just Michelle’s mentor educationally, he also taught her the basic life skills she needed to move ahead in life, staying by her side throughout her journey. Bhansali dared to present a topic that no one had done before and ended up delivering a masterpiece. The film shows us that there are no boundaries that cannot be overcome with perseverance, dedication and hard work.

Released in the year 2019, 'Super 30' is a film based on the mathematician Anand Kumar played by Hrithik Roshan, one of Bollywood's prominent actors. The film explores Anand Kumar's journey, his struggles, and the challenges he faces in running the Super 30 program. It highlights the importance of education and the impact it can have on the lives of underprivileged students. It gives a strong message that privilege should go to those who deserve it, regardless of their status in society. “Ab raja ka beta raja nahi banega, raja wahi banega jo haqdaar hoga!”. A film that inspired many with a lesson on how in tough times, it takes a long jump to seize the opportunity. 

Taare Zameen Par

A film that hit theatres in 2007 revolves around an 8-year-old boy named Ishaan Awasthi, an artistically gifted child with a learning disability called dyslexia. Ishaan struggles with academics and is often misunderstood by his parents and teachers. But at the boarding school, a teacher, Ram Shankar Nikumbh, played by Aamir Khan, steps into his life and with care and affection, nurtures him to deal with the challenges thrown at him by life. The teacher ends up being Ishaan’s sunshine. Taare Zameen Par beautifully portrays how a good mentor can wipe out difficulties by being on your side.

A story about an arrogant politician played by Abhishek Bachchan who is a ‘Dasvi’ fail, put behind bars due to his unacceptable behaviour. ‘Dasvi’ was digitally released in 2022. In jail, a police officer becomes Gangaram’s pillar of support and encourages him to complete his education. He works day and night to clear the 10th & 12th exams, becoming an upstanding citizen when he gets out of jail. This film reflects the fact that mentorship can bring your life on the right track.
