Tarare Zameen Par

I think it is the first time that I am commenting or making a remark about a movie which I have watched but something about this film forced me to pen down my thoughts .Not many of the so called bollywood flicks ring a bell in my mind so strong and for so long as did this directorial debut of amir khan.
TZP unquestionably is a very poignant picture. Its not only the story of Ishan that moved me as he was a patient of dyslexia trapped in a labyrinth of expectations and his failure to live up to them. It was actually the small speech that Amir gave to Ishan's parents which was sole stirring. I am sure that many of us would identify with the kind of anxiety Amir was talking about.
The pressure to always be THE NUMBER ONE. True not even marks like 95% or 96% brings recognition to the student because somewhere in the competition there is a98% standing. Ironically not even 100% is an adequate amount these days because quite a few students manage even that. So as amir said "lage hue hai sab ungli ko kheech kar lambi karne mein".
TZP is essentially a movie which parents teachers and children must watch.
For me the movie has reaffirmed my conviction that not all of us can become doctors or engineers best but yes we all can try and outshine wherever we are .
