भीड़ में यूं न छोडो मुझे, घर लौट के भी आ ना पाऊँ मा
भेज न इतना दूर मुज्क्को तू, याद भी तुझको आ ना पाऊँ मा
क्या इतना बुरा हूँ में मा
क्या इतना बुरा मेरी मा
This para of the song Maa holds the thought process going on inside the innocent mind of Ishan, when he is sent to the boarding school. Life is never easy. Even a child like Ishan has his share of problems. Sometimes he tries to fight against it, sometimes he just ignores it, but all the time, he has in the back of his mind that there is someone who can sort out his every problem. He trusts his Maa, like every child does. But when his Maa does not understand him, he breaks down from inside. This song shows his desperate plea to his mother to come back and embrace him. But there is nobody to hear him. If someone can hold back tear when the song is on, he/she has to have a heart of stone.
The movie Taare Zameen Par is indeed a nice Christmas gift to everybody from Aamir Khan. He is known as a person who uses his mind, while choosing his work, quite unlike others in Bollywood. If he is there in a movie, you can be rest assured that it has to be a stunner. But once in a while, he stars in some dumb movies too. Remember Mangal Pandey or Mela. This movie had no known stars except Aamir and there was a grave danger that this could be termed as a part of parallel cinema. But the final product turned out to be the best entertainer of the year. Its not in the same league as Hey Baby or OSO. But only because they are way below it. Even Chak De can not match TZP. Sweet sound of money, awards and accolades are sure to come Aamir's way again.
But sometimes you can feel some movies are way above the petty affair of money or awards. If these things were on the mind of Aamir while making this movie, then he could never have made such a touching movie. Each scene is so full of emotions and Aamir's golden touch, that viewer is bound to be mesmerized by it.
The movie also tries to explain that not everybody is same. Every person's knowledge can not be judged by comparing him/her against some standard scale, like exam results. Every person has the right to be the way he/she likes and given the opportunity, he can achieve something out of extraordinary. The movie also shows you can bring a lot of difference to somebody's life, if you can actually care (KHAYAL) about him/her. Just a second spent with somebody might mean a lot more to him/her, than anything else. We just need to take a step forward towards them and all barriers will break.
So the question is can we take that step forward? Do we have it in us?
