You are not special?

A movie gets released; spectator admired the idea, audiences clapped for scenes, newspaper is full of its stills, magazines have special editorial on it, Ad market gets blowing with a snippet over that……………and so and so….

A movie is said to be trendsetter when it brings something new to its spectator and there onwards a subsequent movement on this new era. May be it was Sholey brought Daku in films, or QSQT a commencement of teenage love, or Satya kind of underworld theme. I don’t know how does a storywriter reach to such innovative topic, such producer agrees upon a risky task of investing money, and finally director prepare himself to shoot up for experimental shots.

Similar to this, last month I watched a movie “Tare Zameen Per”. Loved the movie. Liked what is said to be in Amol Gupte’s words, liked the way Aamir Khan angled his fingers across the camera and zoomed the lens around a kid actor fetches him the Filmfare’s best actor awards too.

I wonder for such Bollywood movie without a female substance, no outdoor shootings, small budgeted, non hyped actors (except the supporting actor Aamir itself) or just without an item song. But the movie had done well and made a miracle at present and of course said to be history in Bollywood cinema.

The movie is about a low performing boy@studies, how he struggles in life because of a kind of disease Dyslexia and finally turns with all good colors in his life. The one aspect of movie was to realize the parents that keep hoping from your children, encourage them to come forward, support them to achieve something rather neglecting or scolding them now and then.

At the same time movie has shown a great reality about the disease Dyslexia where a person is unable to judge the three important dimensions of physics: Size, Distance and Speed. Such a high and complex concept, Aamir khan tried to narrate it in a very simple way “Kitni badi ball, kitne door se, kitne speed se aa rahi hai—ye wo jaan nahi pata ha aur jab tak koshish karta hai gadi chchut jati hai”

The actor said that the disease may be because of some neurological disorder or it could be genetic also. “Aam aadmi ki juban me kahu to dimag me jara si wiring ki problem hai”.

This movie has also brought a global question, how much we are pressurizing our children and how badly we are forcing them to study.

Har kisi ko awwal number chaiye. Doctor, Engineers, management – isse kam to kisi ko bardasht hi nahi ha. 95.5%, 95.6%, 95.7%–isse kam to gali ke barabar hai.

Har ungli ko khich kar lambi karne me lege hai sub, lago raho..chahe ungli hi kyon na toot jaye.

And finally the movie shows that upon a good guideline, relevant attempt and truly dedicated support how nicely can we improve our children.

No doubt, TZP is a resultant of lots of scientific research, a reasonable psychology, a mental observation upon social issues. Definitely lot to learn and adopt in our lives.

Later I asked myself: Was the movie meant for kids?
Or
was it meant for PAPA age of people?
Or
both?

If so, then why did I like it? I don’t fall in either category!
I loved the movie because it gives you an excellent measured message
“Every child is special”.
&
Why don’t we elaborate it in a better way stating,

“Every employee is special”.

Delhi Belly:Aamir’s next production

Swedish director Robert Nylund is supposed to direct the Aamir Khan’s next production venture “Delhi Belly“. But now it is slipped to Abinay Deo.

Not only the director has changed, but it seems movie will be in Hindi now instead of English. This is a big bright bustling break for the young ad maker who has directed Shah Rukh Khan, Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone for a high-budget Pepsi ad.

“It would be a very naughty and sexy comedy unlike anything one would expect from Aamir. And yes, he’s likely to play a part in it” - Aamir Khan.

I will carry Olympic torch: Aamir

After footballer Baichung Bhutia backed out on the Tibet issue, Bollywood star Aamir Khan on Tuesday agreed to run with the Olympic torch here though he empathizes with the Tibetan people and feels the games “do not belong to China”.

Declining requests not to take part in the relay, he asked them “to understand that when I do run with the torch on April 17, it is not in support of China. In fact, it will be with a prayer in my heart for the people of Tibet“.

The Indian Olympic Association has roped in celebrities like the actor, former supercop Kiran Bedi and tennis ace Leander Paes although Bhutia has declined to run in the event citing the Tibetan issue.

Former Olympic football captain P K Banerjee has also decided to participate, despite his failing health (given that he is 71) as it is a matter of pride for him.

Aamir said in a statement posted on his weblog, “I have the highest regard for the struggle that the people of Tibet are going through. I completely empathise with them“.

Aamir Khan crops hair for Ghajini

It is not just various looks but versatile roles too.

And finally the actor in Ghajini…..

‘Idiots’ from IIT

If rumours are to be believed Aamir Khan has signed on the dotted line to act in Rajkumar Hirani’s next venture tentatively titled ‘Idiots’.

Aamir has confirmed the development in his blog (www.aamirkhan.com) and if things work out well between one of India’s most versatile actors and the man behind the ‘Munnabhai’ movies, it could well become a cinematic super-success.

The latest Raju Hirani film would be produced by his mentor Vidhu Vinod Chopra and there was some gossip that Chopra and Shah Rukh had some disagreements over which they decided to part ways on ‘Idiots’. Needless to say, Shah Rukh’s loss proved to be Aamir’s gain.

 

Hirani has also approached Saif Ali Khan, Shah Rukh and John Abraham for roles in the film, which is based on Chetan Bhagat’s ‘Five Point Someone’ and deals with the story of three IIT students.

The book starts with a disclaimer, “This is not a book to teach you how to get into IIT or even how to live in college. In fact, it describes how screwed up things can get if you don’t think straight.”

Three hostelmates - Alok, Hari and Ryan get off to a bad start in IIT - they screw up the first class quiz. And while they try to make amends, things only get worse. It takes them a while to realize: If you try and screw with the IIT system, it comes back to double screw you. Before they know it, they are at the lowest echelons of IIT society. They have a five-point-something GPA out of ten, ranking near the end of their class. This GPA is a tattoo that will remain with them, and come in the way of anything else that matters - their friendship, their future, their love life. While the world expects IITians to conquer the world, these guys are struggling to survive.

Will they make it? Do underperformers have a right to live? Can they show that they are not just a five-point-somebody but a five-point-someone?

And speaking of Saif, there are reports that Kareena could be part of the ‘Idiots’ team too. This follows rumours that Hirani, who approached Kajol for the role, was upset at her comments that she would first read the script before accepting the offer.
