Taare Zameen Par review

I had wanted to write some movie review for a long time(i consider myself a connoisseur in this). Let me start this with a decent movie "Taare Zameen Par" review. Having grown with a healthy diet of malayalam movies frankly i dont think that acting in TZP was exceptional..it was brilliant in patches. But what makes this film worth watching is the direction and the approach to explain something like dyslexia to "Indian" audience.

Hats off to Aamir for making such a novel movie, while most of his contemporaries churn out dud box-office hits, this guy stands apart, he seems to be the only person in the entire Indian film industry who is really concerned about our society..RDB,Taare Zameen Par..In this film the effort that he takes to explain what is dyslexia and the difference between mentally-challenged and dyslexic child is amazing..the flow of events is "crafted to perfection" without being preachy..

Having brought up in the Indian education system, i can clearly understand how tuff it would be for a dyslexic child, its all about marks/ranks here.Even today our top management institutes require 99.9%ile and that too from one of the toughest entrance exams in the world..So it is a "must-watch" for all Indian parents and they should know there is something called dyslexia, how diff it is from retardness and how those special children have to be dealt with..I say this 'coz many of my colleagues dint know about dyslexia..SO ALL OF U ZIIIMBBBLY GO AND WAATTTCHHHH ITTTT !!

P.S:
The mother in the movie, watches a video of her child, and when the video ends we see "white grains" on the TV, this can happen only if there is no signal and not when u watch using AV.
I was like the physically challenged boy in the boarding school(as in movie), in the sense i knew that whatever i was learning was crap but still scored high marks. This continued till college, only diff being that the latter dint happen in college :D.

Rating 7/10

No more Che for me....

I claim to be a big fan of Che, my fav posession my bike is named after him, several Che t-shirts, wall papers and whenever some ignorant minds ask "who is he?" I take time to lecture about him. It is very much true that I get inspired by his words "Die standing than living on your knees". But if i sit back and think for a while, i feel ashamed that i had used him as an inspiration to achieve personal goals, some simple things like raising my voice against oppressive managers, questioning some company policies&decisions, instigating and always speaking for my friends..many friends of mine had worked like dogs to appease their managers to win a trip to some foreign land..I can never do that, if i do that i cannot see myself in the mirror next day..But again i regret that all my heroism was for some personal gains, I had never stood up against any oppression in my day-to-day life..Atrocities,corruption,traffic violations..happen around me and I turn a blind-eye and move on as if nothing had happened..Here are some of them..

1.Been to several shops which employ child labour
2.Grew up paying bribes, latest was for my house registration
3.Spoken and seen drug peddlers selling drugs
4.Had seen several instances of drunken driving, and had never filed a complaint.
5.Always bribed traffic sergeants whenever i broke a rule

Shame on me..I had never stood for anybody who cannot fight for themselves, if i see an instance of child labour, i just want to fight against it but there are several things stopping me..my career, security of my dear ones,..it has always been me..me..me..I cannot be a true fan of Che and his ideals if i cannot emulate him in any form..if i dont then there is no difference between me and one scum who when asked about Che on his tee claimed him to be a rock star !!!.

From today I have decided to Complain/Protest against child labour in any form.
Resolutions against paying bribes cannot be kept in India :((((((((((((((((((((.
Until I stand-up for someone in my society..no more preaching about Che
