Taare Zameen Par

Most of my classmates and friends really recommended it to me and that’s why I decided to finally go and watch Taare Zameen Par. A teacher of mine said that he had cried watching that movie so I thought that it must be good. I watched the whole movie in utter patience and was waiting for the perfect moment as to when I could use the box of Kleenex that I had brought with me (on the recommendation of all those who had watched it). But, that moment did not come. I mean, although the movie was nice, it did not move me. Yes, ignorant parents finally appreciate their dyslexic child and he finds God in his teacher, but I felt that the movie did not move beyond that point. There was really no story to tell and somehow Aamir just stretched it like a chewing gum. On the whole, a big disappointment from a perfectionist like Aamir.
