Keep trying, Aamir Khan!



lagaanAs you all may know, has been chasing his dream of winning an Oscar for quite a while now. It started with a good Lagaan movie, then a very bad Mangal Pandey, and now .

is without a doubt a very well executed film. It has wonderful acting and has been executed nicely. But it is not a film that will finally land Aamir his Oscar.

Everyone seems to love , but how good is it really? It is about Dyslexia, a disorder not very well known in the subcontinent. Many people identified with this disorder. mangal pandeyMany parents got hope that their child may not be “stupid” or “retarded” after all.

But in the United States and other countries, childhood disorders such as this are well-known. They know of not only this one but other disorders as well, such as autism or ADD. So this type of movie in these other places would not have been ground-breaking as it was in India.

has many good things about it, but way too many flaws to be called the best film in the world.

taare zameen parNot to take anything away from the movie, but it is popular because of . Take out of the film and you have a sure shot flop. And at the Oscars, nobody cares about - or any other Khan for that matter!

people …. when u talk about oscars .. theres a lot more in consideration … than just the plot .. every movie has some flaws … no movie is perfect . Taare Zameen Par is surely the best hindi movie for 2007 .. And it will definately be a indian entry to the oscars and will make a mark there if not win the oscars

Ok whoever wrote this article is plain ignorant. Fine, I agree that initially the movie might have done well because Aamir but I hope you realize that there have been brilliant performances by the rest of the cast as well. In fact, the little kid was better than Aamir who only by the way enters midway.

You guys seem like SRK chamchas..

Please write the article in full senses. Aamir enters the movie after first half, so is it like people were not watching the movie by then?? Is raising an issue like dyslexic in subcontinent is not good enough where there is so much ignorance about everything?? While reading the article, i was expecting that the writer will end saying that the OSO was the best movie for the year, i was surprised to see it didn’t happen.

Guys….first you yourselves lose sight of the what the article is about - and then call the writer ignorant? Keep in mind this article is about Aamir’s quest to get an Oscar, and not the movie review of TZP.

But it seems you people are only interested in reading the last paragraph?

@Neh - Agree with you that Darsheel Safary acted excellent in the film - dare I say even better than Aamir. BUT what if the teacher was played by some other actor like Tushar Kapoor? Are you saying the film would still be such a hit?

@Abhi - Where did you get OSO from this?

Winning an Oscar is not the only reason great films are made. I’m sure when the Khans are acting/directing/producing any movie…the least of their concern is, “Will I be nominated for an Oscar”? Indian Cinema cannot be critiqued by Americans. That is why they have their own Award ceremony.
Yes the movie is a masterpiece…The Khans can care less about the Oscars!

What if Tushar Kapoor acted as the teacher? Damn right, the movie would have been worse. Simply for the fact that Tushar Kapoor is not 1/10th the actor Aamir Khan is.

What if in pirates of the caribbean, Will Ferrell played the role of Jack Sparrow. Would it be good? What if Charlie Sheen was in Forest Gump? Would it be good? I mean, what kind of stupid way is that to look at a movie? Yes Taare Zameen Par is good because of Aamir, and quite frankly, that’s because Aamir is such a great actor. A lot of great movies would be pretty bad if they didn’t have great actors.

Your argument makes zero sense. Look at the movie for what it is, not what it would be with someone else. How stupid.

@Aman…read carefully before talking (that is if you are even capable). The argument was that would the movie be such a hit without Aamir Khan? I was saying no it wouldn’t be and gave Tushar as an example. If you read what is actually going on and what you are saying, you would see that you are reiterating what I have said and arguing with me at the same time.
Don’t try to be overly smart.

Some people are never meant to climb the tree of knowledge. The writer of this article is clearly one of them.

Instead of harping on the technical deficiencies of the film and its international ground-breaking appeal, look at the importance and relevance of the film even in this day and age in Indian Society.
The fact still remains Indian parents are oblivious to it and the film is an outcome of years of ignorance. It’s a film that ought to be recommended for every Indian parent and child.

The fact that you choose to think that the film was a success because of Aamir shows your lack thereof of sensitivity and sensibility.

What would you rather vote for ? Jeans, Paheli or TZP ? Don’t even get me started with Eklavya.

You have the right to remain ignorant. Obviously you choose to exercise it.

After visiting this website in several taglines with “Aamir Khan”, now I got clear that this website is against Aamir Khan, the ultimate megastar of Bollywood. In place of http://www.bollynewz.com it should be renamed as http://www.againstaamir.com. I am not a fan of Aamir Khan, but I cannot tolerate if any website does a partiality with any star. Be it Hollywood or Chinahood also. Websites are made to provide news and information,…not support or hatred.
