TZP: Will be a ‘Winner’ in critical section

This is going to be critically highly acclaimed film! This is going to be a benchmark movie for many! This is going to be ‘award fetching’ movie for the junior star ‘Darsheel’. Simply because the subject of the movie is such that even though many negatives are there in the movie, they will be overlooked. Remember SLB’s movie ‘Black’, yes similar to that, ‘TZP’ can not earn even one negative mark as it’s a movie based on a peculiar disorder and only you can sympathize with the script.

Aamir must be applauded to come with such a sensitive subject. This movie will make you to look children around you in a different way. It’s a must watch for parents and teachers than kids.

Story Plot:
Story of Eshan (played by debutant Darsheel), boy studying in 3rd standard, who is very creative but suffers from disability to read, write properly; To judge the time, space and speed at once; To understand multiple instructions. Normal people recognize him as a ‘nuisance’ as he is also mischievous like any other kid of his age. His ‘natural’ disability to progress in studies will make people to blame at his attitude towards studies.
But medical terms it as: ‘dyslexia’. Nikumb (Aamir Khan) recognizes this kid’s disorder and helps him to work on his strengths and improve on his weakness in a creative way.

Strengths:
Ø Sensitive Script, good Screenplay and technically excellent movie.
Ø Amazing performance by Darsheel. He is the real show stealer in the movie.
Ø Needless to mention Aamir, who has done a great job both as actor and director.

Weakness:
Ø Though a wonderful script, unfolds very predictably. No surprises, no twists. Though it is understood as it a more of a ‘material movie than ‘entertaining’ one, the story telling way could have been made more interesting.
Ø Snail speed movie which catches speed only after interval.
Ø Aamir has very under used himself.

Music of the movie doesn’t fall in either strength or weakness column.
I feel they could have made this movie just 1.5 hour long rather than dragging it for 2.5 hours. Though by making it short, it would have become unconventional but movie would have become more interesting to watch. I must mention again that Darsheel’s performance is heart touching and you will feel for him.

To sum up its 6/10 for this long but sensitive movie with tremendous performances
