Taare Zameen Par (Like the Stars on Earth, 2007)



Plot, copied from Imdb: An eight year old boy is thought to be lazy and a troublemaker, until the new art teacher has the patience and compassion to discover the real problem behind his struggles in school.

A breathtaking Indian picture. It beautifully portrays everything that is wrong with our school system and learning process in most of our grammar schools. It shows what the wrong approach from teachers and parents can do to a helpless child, who doesn’t and cannot know how to deal with his problems. There are many youngsters like the main character, who could conquer the world with their intelligence, abilities and the world-is-a-magical-place attitude.

The main actor Darsheel Safary (11 years old at the time) is the most talented young actor I have seen. He makes you completely understand what the character thinks, feels, desires. He is so brilliant I cannot explain. The whole story is powerful, magical, compelling and mesmerizing and most of all as close to real life as you can get. Because Indians love colors, music and dancing there is a lot of that. But it makes it even more special and of course two and a half hours long :) I could not stop thinking about this movie for a whole week and I will never forget how it made me feel and that’s the real measure for a good film. It simply does not matter what kind of movie type person you are, this is a MUST see!
