Sitaare Zameen Par is the latest film starring Aamir Khan and it is in talks already, not only about the fact that it is a great story, but also about feelings it evokes in all of us.
You might recall the previous movie by Aamir called Taare Zameen Par whose theme was based upon a small boy who had a lot of difficulties in school due to dyslexia. We learned through that movie how necessary it is to get to know children who are differently inclined learners. This is to say that now, years later, Sitaare Zameen Par arrives as a sort of sequel, but this time the emphasis is a bit changed. It is not a mere story of childhood plight rather it is a story of what becomes of such children as they grow old.
Most of them have travelled life with the baggage of hurt that was caused by being misunderstood, unloved, and not encouraged at the most needed time. This is what is depicted in this movie when it comes to those wounds we have as children. It is something that makes us hopeful as well. It writes, you are not broken and still you are shining the way you are-just like a star on earth.
Why Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par is worth watching
The most amazing part of this movie is that it is so emotional and real. The way Aamir Khan has acted is beautiful not the dramatic or over the top sort of way, but in a touching sort of manner. His character is someone to whom you may relate, at least a teacher, a friend, a mentor, or even a superhero type who wants to heal others but does not lose the pain they experienced.
The most reaching detail of the film is that it involves real kids with learning disabilities and not actors who can simulate the problem. When you watch them, you may touch their emotions-happiness, misunderstanding, terror, euphoria. They give the impression that the film is raw and authentic as opposed to another super polished film.
The songs of Sitaare Zameen Par also contribute a lot in moving the heart. The lyrics are not very complicated, yet strong. There is one such song, Chhoti Udaan (meaning small flight) which is already a favorite. The lyrics mention the fact that, even though we may be chained to the ground by issues or past traumas, we can dream big and reach the sky.
Sitaare Zameen Par is a film about emotions
This film is not the movie of sets and action. It is concerning emotions. It is about a reminder that people of any age deserve to be heard, appreciated, and helped. There will be a lot of adults who will recognize themselves in this movie and will recall what they once were as a child all dreamy with a promise of nobody to believe in them.
And therefore when you are about to watch a movie on the weekend, do watch the Sitaare Zameen Par. It is not only entertainment, it is an emotional trip that can and perhaps will make one shed a tear and smile in the heart.
