Taare Zameen Par : The movie
It’s been a while since I saw the movie Taare Zameen Par, and I’ve meant to write this before.
So, here a few things about the movie that struck me.
- The movie was overhyped, and didn’t live upto ridiculous expectations.
- It was good nonetheless. Can’t complain about the movie, which is a good thing 
- People all around me were crying their hearts out, but I couldn’t understand why.
- Oh, there is a part of the movie, which was a copied from a Calvin and Hobbes strip series. Here it is:
I wonder if you need to take creative lisence to use such material in a movie. I’m guesing yes, but I’m more or less confident that Amir Khan didn’t do that.
- The other positive of the movie, was that it addressed a real life problem. And that often strikes a chord with the people. Here is a trend I picked from Google Trends, which shows how this movie has impacted millions of people.
What you are looking at here is a trend graph of people in India searching for the query ‘dyslexic’. There is no argument to the fact that it was the movie which talked about dyslexia, led to people trying to learn more, and understand more of what dyslexia is about. I’d say that’s a really high impact !
On an entirely different note, I wish I blogged more. Time to rectify that.
And Oh, I work in Google Hyderabad, but this blog has nothing to do with it. Just my personal take on life !
