Bollywood movies
People who know me also know that I am not the one to willingly see an Indian movie. The predictability of the movies and the amount of “tribute” scenes just make the whole experience unbearable. That said Taare Zameen Par came highly recommended by my sister, aunt, roommate, and a couple of friends. So finally today I made some time to see the movie.
Story of the movie is nothing that hasn’t been done before. There’s a boy who is dyslexic which is causing problems at school, along comes the savior and sorts it out. But just because it is not a novel story line doesn’t mean that it didn’t do a good job. The movie as a whole was simply brilliant. The cinematography is reminiscence of the likes of Finding Neverland. The kids acting was phenomenal. Even the songs weren’t that bad.
I would confess, however, that there was times through the movie where I thanked whoever discovered the 1.5x mode on video playback. The movie is 2.5 hours long, and sometimes you just wish things will go faster.

“I thanked whoever discovered the 1.5x mode on video playback” - Nice post. i liked the movie though
It’s not that I didn’t like the movie, Swakkhar. I just wished it was shorter. I use the 1.5x a lot, specially when it’s late in the night and I want to finish it before going to bed.
