Few days back I overheard someone saying “If you think you have seen the best movie of the year then hold on to your thoughts till TZP comes” …
Today I feel like I saw the best movie of the 2007.
TZP is amazing. I recommend a mandatory viewing for all schools, parents and the future parents.
The film is about children with special needs and the story revolves around the efforts of a dyslexic (Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that manifests primarily as a difficulty with written language, particularly with reading and spelling) child to fit in, adjust and perform in a 'normal' world where competition is the norm.
Ishaan (Darsheel) a 8 or 9 year old boy a happy-go-lucky child with a imagination that can see fish flying but fails to grasp the difference between b and d. When asked to solve 3*9=?problem, he confidently sees a war of planets on the firmament of his mind where planet 3 smashes into planet 9 and beats it into parts. The answer of 3 x 9 is 3 for little genius.
The story is simple and connects instantly with every adult and child in the auditorium, even as the climax is predictable and plays heavily on your emotions. But what uplifts the film is its very simplicity, sensitivity and its performances
