This week marks the directorial debut of Aamir Khan. Aamir, easily the best actor of his generation, carries a heavy load in Taare Zameen Par.
He directs, produces and plays the lead. Incredible enough, he scores in all departments.
Taare Zameen Par is a difficult story, simply told. Clearly, Aamir is not aiming to impress us with snazzy technique or craft. What he constructs instead is a heart-wrenching tale of Ishaan Awasthi, a nine-year-old boy who suffers from dyslexia.
Ishaan is the kind of kid who spends hours watching fish swimming in a gutter but routinely fails school. To him, the letters of the alphabet seem like a swarm of insects that he must escape from.
He is hounded by teachers who don't have the time or energy to delve into Ishaan's problems. Eventually even his frustrated parents dump him into a boarding school hoping he will be disciplined into conformity and productivity.
Ishaan's fiesty spirit and enormous artistic talent has almost been crushed when an arts teacher reaches out to him and helps him to soar.
Taare Zameen Par is an insightful journey into childhood. The film is likely to alter your view of children because it paints their joys and horrors so accurately.
Aamir and his writer and creative director Amol Gupte persuasively argue against parents imposing their ambitions and aspirations on their children. At times, they argue too hard. Post-interval the film becomes more polemics than plot. But don't lose your patience either with the slow pacing pre-interval or lecture-baazi after it.
The narrative picks up and builds to a superb climax. This film would have been impossible not without Aamir but without Darsheel Safary who is a better actor than many of the adults in Bollywood.
He's in almost every frame of the film and he never hits a false note. He makes even the slow and repetitive scenes work. Aamir is also superbly controlled as Ishaan's guardian angel.
Taare Zameen Par is deeply emotional without being manipulative. It's moving and magical, in a quiet heartfelt way. I strongly recommend that you see it and carry a large hankie with you. I can't remember the last time I cried so much in a film.
