TZP

“Taare Zameen Par (TZP) – every child is special”; title itself says it all. Must see for all parents-especially who think that the parenting is a child’s play or think that a child should be same as they are…remembering a couplet from a Jagjit Singh’s ghazal:-

Doo aur doo ka jood hamesha char kahan hota hai,

Soch samajh walon ko, thodi nadani de maula.

(let me try to translate it- “TWO AND TWO NOT ALWAYS ADD TO FOUR, OH GOD! PLEASE GIVE SOME INNOCENCE TO (SO-CALLED) INTELLIGENT PEOPLE” - sorry, but that’s the best I can translate!)

The movie is good. Also wondering how Aamir does only one movie in a year and always manages to hit the jackpot (“Mangal Pandey” being the exception in recent times)

The song “TUJHE SAB HAI PAATA, HAI NA MA…”, when Ishan is being left at Hostel is very heart touching…..
