Don't be lame for leaving such comments. ^ if you think he didn't understand the song, then explain him rather than just leaving "I think he didn't understand the song"... So now what? He even said that in the end that explain for why you think what you think rather than simply say a "no, you don't understand". It leaves negativity.
He surely cried, but he will never admit. Men do not admit that they cry. Remember, how Amir was ridiculed for crying on Satyamev Jayate. Memes were circulating on the internet.
I think the reason why Indian movies are dramatic and more about emotion than maybe films elsewhere which are direct to the point is because Indians are generally people who react to something which moves them or makes them feel a particular emotion. And since Indians are so used to songs in movies, songs become of the most important mediums of communicating that emotion. That is the reason some of the biggest hits in Indian cinema are those films which had great music and that music connected with that audience. Similarly, Taare Zameen Par would not have had the same impact without its music at every crucial point in the film. There is no secret that filmmakers in India know that music and emotional connect is necessary to make films work in India, Anyway, glad that you finally watch this movie Jaby and a good review again. Great to have your thoughts. Cheers!
aditya sen......... Shut Up! The songs from TZP are quiet catchy, emotional, motivational as well as necessity of the movie. Stop criticizing the movie for having music, Music makes every movies more emotional and soulful. Oh maybe you don't have capability to get into it.
In Asia, poor and middle class parents are afraid of their kids not getting good job and remuneration. Because of scarcity of good job, they feel that if their children don't do well in education, they may not get a good job. It's difficult compared with a rich western country like United States of America. Being poor is bad, but being poor in a poor country is horrible. They don't want that horrible life for their children and so they want their children to work hard to get a good job.
Aamir has given Hindi cinema a treasure trove in the form of Taare Zameen Par, Lagaan, Dil Chaahta Hain, Rang De Basanti, 3 idiots, Dhobi Ghat, Talaash, PK, Dangal, Sarfarosh, Rangeela, 1947 Earth, et al. SRK's acting economy is based only on 3 movies: Swades, Chak De India and My Name is Khan. Those are his only saving graces in an otherwise shitty career. About Salman...well, the less said the better.
Dark Dimension well...it's true...the less said the better...coz the list is never ending.....Maine Pyaar Kiya , Andaaz Apna Apna , Bajrangi Bhaijaan , Sultan.....just to name a few of his gems
Mehul Gupta Bro, Salman's started experimenting only now. Most of his career comprises of trash. Aamir was the only one who was true to his craft right from the start with only a few hiccups here and there. SRK and Salman are exact contradictions to that. Their career is adorned with only a few gems while most of it is bilge.
I always liked Ghulam as well... Where Rani Mukharjee is co-actress.. but its more about the gang life and how he (Aamir) tries to do better and stand out from the crowd.
interesting way of looking at this movie. I guess as an Indian I expected to be taken through the movie simply with the emotional element in mind. However, I do remember my first reaction after I saw the film... TEACHERS ARENT USUALLY LIKE THAT... education is something that's close to my heart... and sadly school teachers..esp primary/secondary level teachers just do the job because they couldn't do anything else. I agree that not all teachers are like that but I .ade a short film on this called 'to be or not to be a primary school teacher' which explored the ideas of why youth doesn't opt for a teaching job... the answers were predictable and disheartening be at the same time no money less respect no growth because the system doesn't let you. unfortunately all the good teachers either opt for graduate level teaching, become editors/content writers or teach in private education centres. we don't focus on the lil ones in our society inside our public schools...and we chose to dump those people who teach as a last resort on these kids....how will this lead our country into having a strong future..? ok m blabbering...but jaby..u did want details....😄 I hope this was a coherent comment..I'd love everyone's views on this.... cheers
I have attended schools in both India and USA and I'll say that the situation that you described in this post is very similar in both countries. Teachers are not paid enough or respected enough in their profession. It's sad. I feel that teachers should be as respected as doctors bc teachers create our future generations. When I was a little kid, I used to have so much respect for teachers and used to think they were the smartest people, and then as I got older, I realized the reality of how little teachers salaries are and how the smartest people are never inclined to become teachers. Thank god for programs like Teach For America and Teach For India - they need more and more programs like that.
that's true, Indian movies generally are more feeling oriented. but plot oriented Movies r also there like drishyam. Malayalam movies especially r more script oriented.
Boney Sharaon here you go watch charlie, bangalore days, Mumbai police, premam, oppam,om shanthi oshana, neelakasam pacha kadal Chuvanna bhoomi, memmories, ABCD, SU SU sudhi vaalmeekam, spirit, ustad hotel
Jaby look how u have evolved. I mean the sharp crisp edit and the references during the review are really appreciable. Keep up the good work bro. Love from Nepal
The movies that made Indian Governement change the education policy were 1) 3 idiots, 2)Taare Zameen Par and 3) Shikshanachya Aaicha gho.... The third one is in Marathi.
Lol...I mean I am an Aamir Khan fan and think he does great work for the government outside of his movies and I think his movies do influence people's mindsets ....but saying that the Indian government has changed its education policies due to his movies is really hard to believe....
You wanna know why I loved the movie? 'CLIMAX' of the movie. I've watched this movie around 5 times and each of the time the climax scene left me in tears... (Kudos to Darsheel and Aamir Khan for their expression of emotion)
Your best discussion yet, Jaby and Achara! Love the discussion on Indian film's concentration, on success, and on a number of the other topics. Doing fantastic and I so appreciate your authenticity.
My brother usually never cries for anyyyyy movie.. but I was so surprised at the end of the movie he was crying closing his face... I understood the depth of this movie affected him.. Your review is helpful to understand a foreigners perspective to a movie.. not just Indian, but Latin and others too.. And the best part is you already into film as education.. that helps more.
I don't understand. After all the great movies like 3 idiots, taare jameen par, dangal and all the other movies, why bahubali fans say all 3 khans are shit? Why people hate amir?
Just like you mentioned, I frankly like to read about history today and feel all history teachers I had during my school were doing nothing about making the curriculum interesting.
God I've legit been watching your channel for the last 12hours. I just discovered you last night and I haven't slept and my head hurts like crazy. Totally worth it.
Hi Jaby. When your channel was arnd 10-15k subs, on one of your videos, this is exactly what I had commented you can do to grow as a channel: Movie reviews. and I had left 5 must watch Hindi movies and Taare Zameen Par was #1 Glad to see it finally happening 😊
jaby in India..being the 2nd most populated country in the world ... survival itself is a problem here...our parents didn't have time for letting us explore ourself..its a packed schedule till 12th...and we don't have ppl encouraging other stuffs.. I know many will disagree with me..but its the truth down south here..may be things will change with the course of time
And yes, most of our asian parents want their kids to join masses i.e. Engineering, medical, law etc. and treat arts just as an extra-curricular activity because eventually they believe that arts won't give them money to live a luxurious life. Changing this mindset is very important. Broadning the horizon is very important.
I think the reason they didn’t cry is because they don’t understand the language and its not as emotional when you just read the subtitles. Also there’s a certain emotion in the songs that you feel and cry during it if u understand the language
jaby, i think you are not meant to review movies like these coz you won't understand the actually message it is trying to give. Sure you understood the essence of it but as you cannot relate to the movie as we asians can, you cannot understand this. This movie, 3 idiots etc were such a huge hit because it is the issue with hundreds of millions of people here. Your review was kind of abstract. Maybe its because your psychology is a bit different than us because you have not experienced the competition faced by millions of children here. Just an eg. IIT JEE is an engineering entrance exam written by around 1.5 million candidates out of which only 1000-2000 seats are available in IIT. And every parent wants to put their child in IIT from the moment he enters 7th grade. So the child keeps on attending classed from 7th grade for 5-6 years. Now imagine the pressure in the kid's mind. And 1.5 million children with this attitude gives the exam. Its more than just hard work now. Similarly I can name you 10's of other exams with competition even worse. You would have understood the movie better of you faced these problems. Anyway, nice try. Bubbye
Please react to the following in the list:- 1. Sachin's Farewell Speech (if possible, before watching that talk to ur Indian friends such as TVF and AIB to know about him) 2. Kenny Sebstian's Stand-ups 3. Zakir Khan (u may not understand few things) and Abhishek Upmanyu Stand-ups 4. Hrithik Roshan dance in Bang Bang Title Track and Main Aisa Kyun Hun from Lakshya (u have watched that trailer) 5. Please do all 4 above. 6. As u have read it, then do it.
Hi Jaby, I felt this movie was more about bringing people's attention to problems like dislexiya or asperges or autism(whatever may you call). To create an awareness in the general public because these are still very new for the people in India and mostly go ignored, because people are worried that their kids will get tagged as 'mentally ill' and the education structure is so rigid that it is impossible to make accommodations for them when the parents themselves are not ready to accept and face the challenges!!
Jaby...you are absolutely right about Aamir Khan's movies..he always tries to do something for the society through movies or medias...that's why he seldom rejects many movies without social-issues and chooses 1 in every 3 years...peace mate. :) Achara...you were looking very pretty in this video..and nice to see you back...lots of love from Kolkata
it is nice to see a different perspective. And you both try your best to understand that indian movies come from another culture. Good to have you on TH-cam.
Amir Khan researches a lot before signing or producing up a movie.He and his team spend a lot of time off-screen researching a story but most of all,he empathize a lot to play the role!!
Maybe because it does not run on a fast pace that's why you're still stuck within the emotions after 2days. 14+ mins straight and I still do not feel bored, I think that says it all about the review.
Hey Jaby, This movie came at a time when the social media wasn't as evolved as it is today. People in India weren't as learned about learning disabilities as they are today. This movie opened a lot of eyes and ears in the Indian society. It made us more aware. More open to this issue. Sometimes showing a story about a real life situation is better than educating people with a mere set of facts. This movie put it straight out in a very good way. It also was a slap on the face of the indian education system. I think we have a long way to go when it comes to our education system and our understanding of mental illnesses and learning disabilities and this movie was just a first step in that direction.
Hey, Hi!! There are certain films which I would like you to watch with an Indian glass, such as Sultan, and think while watching certain parts that its an Indian thing, lets ignore it. But for a film like Taare Zameen Par(which is very close to my heart, it is one of the few films which I cried while watching) I wanted a foreigner's view such as you, which might be american or italian or asian or whatever, but For this film I wanted your view and perspective. If you felt it was BORING, I wanted you to say that "IT WAS BORING". I can understand that some people might think that it was over-stretched but for me it was perfectly timed movie. For me, the characters when compared to the begun of the movie, were at a different position mentally by the end of the movie. All major characters had a solid arc in it. All characters had a journey in it. Some people find such films yawn fest, then say it directly that you didnt liked it! I didnt liked American Psycho, so be it. Maybe there was some cultural naunce that I missed. Another thing:- I would have liked you to talk more around the film and the scenes and the technical aspect, such as screenplay, backgroound score, etc, The review was very abstract!!! but then again, maybe it was abstract because you didnt liked the movie, And thank you, that you watched with Achara. I somehow knew you wouldnt like the movie, but I thought Achara might like it!
+youtt ube I hope you weren't replying to the Miss Gomez, as Rizwan in MNIK was on the autism spectrum so in effect just another learning difficulty/uniqueness and can be compared in a way and not degraded to 'mentally challenged', as you seemingly implied
Arts in India is not a problem to opt as a career it's because of family responsibilities or income Problems only they are helpless, So they mostly opt for Branches in Arts like Law, Architecture, Interior Designing, Teaching Courses etc are amongst the prominent choices & has higher chances of getting a good job in India, other wise people who are Financially capable mostly go for arts, As arts doesn't gives a guaranteed Job & a certain indication that you have safe & stable career throughout your life which becomes necessary at certain point for a middle class family student after graduation, Although (High Class/Rich) find it easy to explore & they have a backup plan (Family Buisness) if arts doesn't work out well...... This is a majority case in India then to it completely depends from Persons to Persons Creativity, ability, strengths & mindset that they got achieve a very job or more success by doing Arts✌️
I think hollywood used to make movies based on feeling and then somewhere the plot took over story telling.. Like Taare zameen Par the other movie which had a huge impact on me was Sidney Poitier's To sir with love and Julia Robert's Mona Lisa Smile..
i think "the ron clark story" is what i think, closest to taare zameen par. Talking about holywood. Its also an example that Matthew Perry was a hugely underused actor.
the movie keeping on lingering was problem to many others as well. the movie was in imdb top 250 and people from west would come to message board of imdb and complain how it was too long,melodramatic and kept on lingering on the same point. so definitely adjusting to the nature of movies made in india is needed when viewing a movie like this. considering all that 2 hrs 45 minutes is still long for this movie and it could have made the same point in under 2 hrs
In my opinion there is also a lot of American movies that are feeling driven than plot driven like pursuit of happiness. I mean I loved that movie. Obviously in India there's a lot more of that.
Jaby needs to listen to Achara more. The thoughts and ideas that come out of her brain is absolute gold. And the way she articulates and expresses those ideas - AMA-zing.
aamir khan is really a good person who is doing lot better things for india. He also runs a show named 'Satyamev Jayte' in which he try to address the problems in our society. you must check those too.
There's an American movie coming up which is a bit like Taare Zameen Par. It's called Wonder. It's an adaptation of the novel by AJ Palacio. It's a good book but to me it felt like I was reading a slightly different version of this film because it was similar to it on so many levels. I guess it's coming out this year, so you should definitely check it out. 💁🏻
Hi Jaby, I am a consistent follower of your channel. For the first time I am commenting on your video. This movie is a gem. Yes it's slow paced, because they want us to feel every emotion of the characters. And songs are so true to every situation they are put in the movie. When this movie came in India, it was critically and commercially accepted with warmth. At that time no body knew this kind of movie could make huge business. But it did due to it's universal theme. And I think everyone goes through this phase the way lead child character goes in this movie. That's why it connected to large audience. Imagine huge star like Aamir Khan in India makes a movie where he is playing a secondary character and the main lead is a debutant kid. Hats off to him. But it had its share of controversy. Anmol Gupte the creative mind of this movie didn't get that much credit. It was his idea. Nevertheless watch his another masterpiece Stanley ka Dubba i.e Stanely's tiffin. You will love it. It's on similar lines but with a twist in the end.
On the topic of Asian parents and artistic careers for their children, I think it's very easy to see the linear progression of a job in medicine, engineering and the like because it is basically performing what is rote and has been taught, with knowledge being bestowed on the subject, for many years. Meanwhile, art, be it in musical, cinematic or visual realms, depends heavily on individual skill, originality and innovation - it is the unknown and therefore deemed as unimportant by society. Yet, without it (either through its creation or enjoyment), every life would be devoid or passion and pretty much sterile. So, basically, damn anyone who tells you not to pursue an artistic career if you're confident in your skills and have love for your medium.
As an Indian kid who has taken up Humanities or "Arts" as many people call it I would like to add to the discussion about giving importance towards arts. I feel like Jaby didn't really get what Achara was trying to say. It's not really about appreciating art or the fact that parents don't want their children to have to struggle which is what the case is in USA. Unfortunately in Indian society it's more about maintaining the status quo. I have seen from personal experience and from that of my fellow Humanities students that even if you do really well in your selected career or stream people still kind of don't appreciate you and your success. Though the times are changing in India unfortunately most of the population still believes that only people who are not intelligent or have low IQs take up arts even if they are successful. people tend to alienate you and make fun of you if they find out you are an "arts" student. I have heard comments like "Oh did she not get into science?" "were her marks that bad" "you are planning on just chilling and then getting married after getting a basic degree." "Oh you don't know about so and so theory wow you're so dumb." It's not about the struggle of doing well in this field it's about certain orthodox ideologies about success and education in our society.
What I feel is that as a species, the human race is in the process of evolution where we don't really feel that much in our everyday life but we still have those feelings and emotions inside of us which is what the Indian movies emphasize on. I would not completely categorize it to Bollywood movies though however they sure are more in number but if you look at American movies like Tree of life and Reader and Hackshaw Ridge(thats out of the genre but popped into my mind anyway) or not to mention some of the work of Hitchcock or Michael Haneke. They too have the same MO kind of. Where you have a very small story or less of a plot and emphasizing more on the depth of the scene, the emotion portrayed and conveyed in the process and showcasing the acting skills of course. So basically what I'm trying to tell here is as an audience I enjoy being able to feel those emotions to feel sad, feel inspired, feel driven even if with the help of a movie.
I watched this movie as a kid multiple times and loved it, yet didn't understand the full Message or purpose. I watched it again the other day and it was so simple to understand the message and I even picked up on small things I missed watching as a kid. Great discussion
your reviews are really good. Genuine. And I like the editing work and movie clippings. Taare zameen par is very relatable to us, be it the way the parents behave, the schools, the discipline and the protaganist's feelings. In India, parents are generally conservative and want tgeir child to become a degree holder, doctor, engineer. Achara put it correctly that though people enjoy art, they dont value it or think art as a their career choice. The society is changing rapidly though. Thankyou for reviewing Jaby!
Honest review. You're right that Indian films do focus a lot upon the emotions especially in films concerning kids. I absolutely loved this film for highlighting the issue of dyslexia in India which isn't as apparent or if it is it isn't given the due attention it deserves in mainstream schools. Being from the UK at first I couldn't fathom what the big deal was as schools here are more aware of dyslexia and work to accommodate kids with it. I appreciated how Aamir Khan took a back seat in this film and allowed the kid to shine.
I dont know why I am telling this jaby but when I saw this movie I told my parents that I was also going through this same problem when I was in school but no one understood me that time and I was like.... jaby I think we need more movies like this in India great job by aamir khan
Love these reviews with Jaby and Achara. Best film reviewers out there. I especially like that rather than just focusing on the usual film areas you have the knowledge and ability to discuss the wider issues both from a technical film making perspective and societal themes highlighted in films. Keep up the good work guys.Thank you.
i think every indian atleast once cried on song from this movie "tujhe sab h pta meri maa"
Vinay Styles this was the first movie I cried at
Vinay Solanki I cried aaanso beh rahe the bhai
Right
I cried only in ending of dhoom 3 and pk's song 'bhagwan hai kaha re tu'
Exept These 2 senerios I never cried in any movie
I got goosebumps by just reading your comments
Believe me songs in this movie are brilliant. They would have given you goosebumps if you had known the language.
true that
Aman Sharma yes i still have all those in my playlist.
Wait, you didn't cry. I always do whenever I see this. The song "meri maa" is just a starter :D
Rohit Ranjan Me too .I think he didn't understand the song.
Don't be lame for leaving such comments. ^ if you think he didn't understand the song, then explain him rather than just leaving "I think he didn't understand the song"... So now what? He even said that in the end that explain for why you think what you think rather than simply say a "no, you don't understand". It leaves negativity.
He surely cried, but he will never admit. Men do not admit that they cry.
Remember, how Amir was ridiculed for crying on Satyamev Jayate. Memes were circulating on the internet.
Jaby had tears while watching Permanent roomamates !!
Jaby does understand songs. But I think the real beauty or essence is lost if you dub it. This holds true for any language.
I think the reason why Indian movies are dramatic and more about emotion than maybe films elsewhere which are direct to the point is because Indians are generally people who react to something which moves them or makes them feel a particular emotion. And since Indians are so used to songs in movies, songs become of the most important mediums of communicating that emotion. That is the reason some of the biggest hits in Indian cinema are those films which had great music and that music connected with that audience. Similarly, Taare Zameen Par would not have had the same impact without its music at every crucial point in the film.

Lol, they did not review the movie, they were just comparing stuff.
react on maa song tare zamen par
now many ppl can die in peace 😂😂
not yet, Lagaan is remaining :P

including me
So much for acceptance from a white guy.
On point Bro! This just shows how inferiority is deep rooted in our minds. Need to rise up.
In Asia, poor and middle class parents are afraid of their kids not getting good job and remuneration. Because of scarcity of good job, they feel that if their children don't do well in education, they may not get a good job. It's difficult compared with a rich western country like United States of America. Being poor is bad, but being poor in a poor country is horrible. They don't want that horrible life for their children and so they want their children to work hard to get a good job.
New Camera angle .. Paise aa raha hai Guru!! :P
Achaara looks so pretty... from every angle... she is so likable.
hm b line me h saab !
Anuj Katheria thoko Tali.. :D
Anuj Katheria hamari vajah se he aa rha ha 😂😂
paise hi nahi ghar ka rashan pani bhi aa raha hai guru
The second camera angle was very good.
I feel as an adult we often forget what it's like to be a child and how a child feels. This movie describes it so perfectly
Aamir has given Hindi cinema a treasure trove in the form of Taare Zameen Par, Lagaan, Dil Chaahta Hain, Rang De Basanti, 3 idiots, Dhobi Ghat, Talaash, PK, Dangal, Sarfarosh, Rangeela, 1947 Earth, et al. SRK's acting economy is based only on 3 movies: Swades, Chak De India and My Name is Khan. Those are his only saving graces in an otherwise shitty career. About Salman...well, the less said the better.

I always liked Ghulam as well... Where Rani Mukharjee is co-actress.. but its more about the gang life and how he (Aamir) tries to do better and stand out from the crowd.
Mehul Gupta lol none odd those films are even comparable to the Amir Khan films he talked about
interesting way of looking at this movie. I guess as an Indian I expected to be taken through the movie simply with the emotional element in mind.
However, I do remember my first reaction after I saw the film... TEACHERS ARENT USUALLY LIKE THAT... education is something that's close to my heart... and sadly school teachers..esp primary/secondary level teachers just do the job because they couldn't do anything else. I agree that not all teachers are like that but I .ade a short film on this called 'to be or not to be a primary school teacher' which explored the ideas of why youth doesn't opt for a teaching job...
the answers were predictable and disheartening be at the same time
no money
less respect
no growth because the system doesn't let you.
unfortunately all the good teachers either opt for graduate level teaching, become editors/content writers or teach in private education centres.
we don't focus on the lil ones in our society inside our public schools...and we chose to dump those people who teach as a last resort on these kids....how will this lead our country into having a strong future..?
ok m blabbering...but jaby..u did want details....😄
I hope this was a coherent comment..I'd love everyone's views on this....
cheers

I agree. unfortunately we have to make being a teacher 'cool' in society. here's hoping...
Aashi Joshi Nicely put 👍... And on a lighter note it reminded me of Walter White when u said abt condition of teachers in school... #BreakingBad
Aamir Khan. The only A list superstar who chose to walk the path not meant for superstars.
True
A year later now...
Thugs of Hindustan comes in the way now when we talk about how brilliant Aamir Khan is 😂

And this is what superstars should actually do. Not those masala movies.
It was kind of a revolutionary film coz it changed the perception of many people in India.
It made Indian government change its education policy. Now the education policy is child-centric. Thanks to this movie and Shikshanachya aaicha gho...
omg!! it was just yesterday when I was thinking that jaby should review tare zameen par..and boom! here's the video today.
Ria Dey can you think about my next Physics exam?
Ria Dey please ?
M.S.D dirtbags 😂😂😂
Bah! tumi ja vabcho tai hoye jche 😉 😝
Ria Dey yea it was on TV yesterday I was thinking the same😂
The youtube gods are happy today. Taare Zameen par's review by jaby came finally.
that's true, Indian movies generally are more feeling oriented. but plot oriented Movies r also there like drishyam.
Malayalam movies especially r more script oriented.
recommend some good Malayalam movies... I am from Maharashtra.
Boney Sharaon here you go watch charlie, bangalore days, Mumbai police, premam, oppam,om shanthi oshana, neelakasam pacha kadal Chuvanna bhoomi, memmories, ABCD, SU SU sudhi vaalmeekam, spirit, ustad hotel
watch Kali too.
dhrishyam was a copied movie
i like the new camera angle
I was about to comment the same thing. That new camera angle looks good.
....
h
I loved the part where Aamir sarcastically explains Ishaan's father that he was not really "caring" for his son.
Awesome video Jaby. Your perspective on stuff is so crystal clear and reasonable. Feels awesome watching your videos.
Jaby look how u have evolved. I mean the sharp crisp edit and the references during the review are really appreciable. Keep up the good work bro. Love from Nepal
The movies that made Indian Governement change the education policy were 1) 3 idiots, 2)Taare Zameen Par and 3) Shikshanachya Aaicha gho....
The third one is in Marathi.
What education policies exactly were changed due to these movies? I am not trying to argue, I genuinely want to know.
Lol...I mean I am an Aamir Khan fan and think he does great work for the government outside of his movies and I think his movies do influence people's mindsets ....but saying that the Indian government has changed its education policies due to his movies is really hard to believe....
That guy who said American Films are Plot Driven and Indian Films are about Feelings..Deserves a nobel prize for honesty..
That red shirt is looking awsome on u jaby!!! Wear shirts with collar.. and v necks.. just a random style advice..

I was jokin. please take it light hearted.
Aman Sharma....... He was complimenting to Jaby, doesn't mean that he's gay! And even if he is, there's no big deal.
You wanna know why I loved the movie?
'CLIMAX' of the movie.
I've watched this movie around 5 times and each of the time
the climax scene left me in tears... (Kudos to Darsheel and Aamir Khan for their expression of emotion)
i wtched this movie 17 times and every time i cried like first time watching i can say this film shows Aamir Khan ability towards cenima
Your best discussion yet, Jaby and Achara! Love the discussion on Indian film's concentration, on success, and on a number of the other topics. Doing fantastic and I so appreciate your authenticity.
My brother usually never cries for anyyyyy movie.. but I was so surprised at the end of the movie he was crying closing his face... I understood the depth of this movie affected him..
Your review is helpful to understand a foreigners perspective to a movie.. not just Indian, but Latin and others too..
And the best part is you already into film as education.. that helps more.
I don't understand. After all the great movies like 3 idiots, taare jameen par, dangal and all the other movies, why bahubali fans say all 3 khans are shit? Why people hate amir?
This one is one of my best film.
And one more thing the movie shows the struggle of a mother, and her sufferings.
Just like you mentioned, I frankly like to read about history today and feel all history teachers I had during my school were doing nothing about making the curriculum interesting.
This movie is soooo close to my heart...I cried at the end of the movie....really its full of emotions...
React On Vir Das's Stand-up On Conan!!!!
What's not so special in it?
Toxic i just watched the whole stand up.. Its shit
Think You Can Do Better? No? Then Shut Up!!!
Toxic nah. he should watch it
but react? I don't think so
Jaby PLEASE DONT. its wannabe and too bullshit in quality.
God I've legit been watching your channel for the last 12hours. I just discovered you last night and I haven't slept and my head hurts like crazy.
Totally worth it.
Thankyou so much for investing your time..Please checkout the short films by Jaby too.
I liked how jaby koay camera work improved, trying to shoot in a different angle. It has definitely improved the video quality for me.
Hi Jaby. When your channel was arnd 10-15k subs, on one of your videos, this is exactly what I had commented you can do to grow as a channel: Movie reviews. and I had left 5 must watch Hindi movies and Taare Zameen Par was #1 Glad to see it finally happening 😊
jaby's references to movie dialogues and vlogs are truly relatable and on point.
Your comparison to Joker's dialogue is apt. Perfectly makes sense. Achara, that was not random..
jaby in India..being the 2nd most populated country in the world ... survival itself is a problem here...our parents didn't have time for letting us explore ourself..its a packed schedule till 12th...and we don't have ppl encouraging other stuffs.. I know many will disagree with me..but its the truth down south here..may be things will change with the course of time
And yes, most of our asian parents want their kids to join masses i.e. Engineering, medical, law etc. and treat arts just as an extra-curricular activity because eventually they believe that arts won't give them money to live a luxurious life. Changing this mindset is very important. Broadning the horizon is very important.
I think the reason they didn’t cry is because they don’t understand the language and its not as emotional when you just read the subtitles. Also there’s a certain emotion in the songs that you feel and cry during it if u understand the language
nah i dont think thats the reason.
Word. Seriously i could not have watched a better verbal review/discussion of this movie anywhere else. All points and aspects were covered.
Aamir also co-directed the movie...
That analogy with the Joker was hilarious and spot on!!! I laughed so hard.
jaby, i think you are not meant to review movies like these coz you won't understand the actually message it is trying to give. Sure you understood the essence of it but as you cannot relate to the movie as we asians can, you cannot understand this.
This movie, 3 idiots etc were such a huge hit because it is the issue with hundreds of millions of people here. Your review was kind of abstract. Maybe its because your psychology is a bit different than us because you have not experienced the competition faced by millions of children here.
Just an eg. IIT JEE is an engineering entrance exam written by around 1.5 million candidates out of which only 1000-2000 seats are available in IIT. And every parent wants to put their child in IIT from the moment he enters 7th grade. So the child keeps on attending classed from 7th grade for 5-6 years. Now imagine the pressure in the kid's mind. And 1.5 million children with this attitude gives the exam. Its more than just hard work now. Similarly I can name you 10's of other exams with competition even worse. You would have understood the movie better of you faced these problems.
Anyway, nice try. Bubbye
Please react to the following in the list:-
1. Sachin's Farewell Speech (if possible, before watching that talk to ur Indian friends such as TVF and AIB to
know about him)
2. Kenny Sebstian's Stand-ups
3. Zakir Khan (u may not understand few things) and Abhishek Upmanyu Stand-ups
4. Hrithik Roshan dance in Bang Bang Title Track and Main Aisa Kyun Hun from Lakshya (u have watched
that trailer)
5. Please do all 4 above.
6. As u have read it, then do it.
Hi Jaby, I felt this movie was more about bringing people's attention to problems like dislexiya or asperges or autism(whatever may you call). To create an awareness in the general public because these are still very new for the people in India and mostly go ignored, because people are worried that their kids will get tagged as 'mentally ill' and the education structure is so rigid that it is impossible to make accommodations for them when the parents themselves are not ready to accept and face the challenges!!
Jaby...you are absolutely right about Aamir Khan's movies..he always tries to do something for the society through movies or medias...that's why he seldom rejects many movies without social-issues and chooses 1 in every 3 years...peace mate. :)
Achara...you were looking very pretty in this video..and nice to see you back...lots of love from Kolkata
it is nice to see a different perspective. And you both try your best to understand that indian movies come from another culture. Good to have you on TH-cam.
Those words from 10:30 for 20 secs abt Science and Maths..Damn..that's exactly wht I think..!
Ohh My God! Now hundreds and thousands comments will be reduced on all your upcoming videos because you made a review of this movie...😵
Amir Khan researches a lot before signing or producing up a movie.He and his team spend a lot of time off-screen researching a story but most of all,he empathize a lot to play the role!!
Maybe because it does not run on a fast pace that's why you're still stuck within the emotions after 2days. 14+ mins straight and I still do not feel bored, I think that says it all about the review.
Hey Jaby, This movie came at a time when the social media wasn't as evolved as it is today. People in India weren't as learned about learning disabilities as they are today. This movie opened a lot of eyes and ears in the Indian society. It made us more aware. More open to this issue. Sometimes showing a story about a real life situation is better than educating people with a mere set of facts. This movie put it straight out in a very good way. It also was a slap on the face of the indian education system. I think we have a long way to go when it comes to our education system and our understanding of mental illnesses and learning disabilities and this movie was just a first step in that direction.
watch Lagaan !! ASAP
a lot of us can relate to it in very emotional way..........like things with his MOM in the movie
Please watch Barfi. you will like it.
rai tonu it's in the list

Taare Zamen Par is like one of the dhaams (holy abodes) of the Chaar Dhaam yatra of Hindi cinema.
Mr. CaseyNeistat! 👌
Hey, Hi!! There are certain films which I would like you to watch with an Indian glass, such as Sultan, and think while watching certain parts that its an Indian thing, lets ignore it. But for a film like Taare Zameen Par(which is very close to my heart, it is one of the few films which I cried while watching) I wanted a foreigner's view such as you, which might be american or italian or asian or whatever, but For this film I wanted your view and perspective. If you felt it was BORING, I wanted you to say that "IT WAS BORING". I can understand that some people might think that it was over-stretched but for me it was perfectly timed movie. For me, the characters when compared to the begun of the movie, were at a different position mentally by the end of the movie. All major characters had a solid arc in it. All characters had a journey in it. Some people find such films yawn fest, then say it directly that you didnt liked it! I didnt liked American Psycho, so be it. Maybe there was some cultural naunce that I missed.
Another thing:- I would have liked you to talk more around the film and the scenes and the technical aspect, such as screenplay, backgroound score, etc, The review was very abstract!!! but then again, maybe it was abstract because you didnt liked the movie,
And thank you, that you watched with Achara. I somehow knew you wouldnt like the movie, but I thought Achara might like it!
you referred to joker , I just loved that.......love you jaby
You should watch 'My name is Khan', you will love this film.
Miss Gomez - yep
I am sorry but there is a difference between dyslexic and mentally challenged. Dont compare the two.
+youtt ube
I hope you weren't replying to the Miss Gomez, as Rizwan in MNIK was on the autism spectrum so in effect just another learning difficulty/uniqueness and can be compared in a way and not degraded to 'mentally challenged', as you seemingly implied
Arts in India is not a problem to opt as a career it's because of family responsibilities or income Problems only they are helpless, So they mostly opt for Branches in Arts like Law, Architecture, Interior Designing, Teaching Courses etc are amongst the prominent choices & has higher chances of getting a good job in India, other wise people who are Financially capable mostly go for arts, As arts doesn't gives a guaranteed Job & a certain indication that you have safe & stable career throughout your life which becomes necessary at certain point for a middle class family student after graduation, Although (High Class/Rich) find it easy to explore & they have a backup plan (Family Buisness) if arts doesn't work out well......
This is a majority case in India then to it completely depends from Persons to Persons Creativity, ability, strengths & mindset that they got achieve a very job or more success by doing Arts✌️
many people can die in peace now
I think hollywood used to make movies based on feeling and then somewhere the plot took over story telling.. Like Taare zameen Par the other movie which had a huge impact on me was Sidney Poitier's To sir with love and Julia Robert's Mona Lisa Smile..
Hi Jaby. The point you made on the songs cannot be more accurate. The songs in the movie are as inspiring as any!
when jaby koay gonna review MNIK Swades Chakde ???
5:45 That perfectly sums up the Indian society.
This movie is soo over-rated and aamir is so over-rated too and i am writing this to get attention.
Durgesh singh 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 you got my attention tho
Well hello you attention seeking douchebag
Durgesh singh well here's some attention *throws attention to your face*
Durgesh singh I'm splashing some attention on u sit straight
Durgesh singh youtube ka Sofiya Hayat
this is the only movie that everytime i watch, fill my eyes with tears
jaby please watch #mynameiskhan
i think "the ron clark story" is what i think, closest to taare zameen par. Talking about holywood. Its also an example that Matthew Perry was a hugely underused actor.
Lorenzo's Oil is one hollywood movie that is kind of similar, maybe something like Patch Adams is also very close.
Ur words are always...Easy to connect JABY ..U r the best..
Hi jaby thanks for watching and discussing it..u r right Aamir khan always made movies with a subject exept dhoom3..btw..liked the new camera angle..
Hi jaby! The composition of the side shot felt a little dull. In my opinion a little something on that wall would have gone long way. :)
2nd camera angle is really nice..Achara looks even better.
the movie keeping on lingering was problem to many others as well. the movie was in imdb top 250 and people from west would come to message board of imdb and complain how it was too long,melodramatic and kept on lingering on the same point. so definitely adjusting to the nature of movies made in india is needed when viewing a movie like this.
considering all that 2 hrs 45 minutes is still long for this movie and it could have made the same point in under 2 hrs
In my opinion there is also a lot of American movies that are feeling driven than plot driven like pursuit of happiness. I mean I loved that movie. Obviously in India there's a lot more of that.
How do you not cry during this movie?! I cried just listening to you talk about it lol
Jaby needs to listen to Achara more. The thoughts and ideas that come out of her brain is absolute gold. And the way she articulates and expresses those ideas - AMA-zing.
Anyone notice that Achara is wearing a dress similar to the villain girl in "The Orphan" ?
Trying to fit her in those flashbacks and it's scary. :|
aamir khan is really a good person who is doing lot better things for india. He also runs a show named 'Satyamev Jayte' in which he try to address the problems in our society. you must check those too.
There's an American movie coming up which is a bit like Taare Zameen Par. It's called Wonder. It's an adaptation of the novel by AJ Palacio. It's a good book but to me it felt like I was reading a slightly different version of this film because it was similar to it on so many levels. I guess it's coming out this year, so you should definitely check it out. 💁🏻
He also directed it...
The first movie of him which was made by him...
totally agree with achara about Asian parents...I can understand that feeling
Hi Jaby, I am a consistent follower of your channel. For the first time I am commenting on your video. This movie is a gem. Yes it's slow paced, because they want us to feel every emotion of the characters. And songs are so true to every situation they are put in the movie. When this movie came in India, it was critically and commercially accepted with warmth. At that time no body knew this kind of movie could make huge business. But it did due to it's universal theme. And I think everyone goes through this phase the way lead child character goes in this movie. That's why it connected to large audience. Imagine huge star like Aamir Khan in India makes a movie where he is playing a secondary character and the main lead is a debutant kid. Hats off to him. But it had its share of controversy. Anmol Gupte the creative mind of this movie didn't get that much credit. It was his idea. Nevertheless watch his another masterpiece Stanley ka Dubba i.e Stanely's tiffin. You will love it. It's on similar lines but with a twist in the end.
Ashish Loved your comment😍
Bhrigu Kansra thanks
I liked the way you shifted the camera while talking about the outside stuffs
which editing software do u use ....really curious to know ?
On the topic of Asian parents and artistic careers for their children, I think it's very easy to see the linear progression of a job in medicine, engineering and the like because it is basically performing what is rote and has been taught, with knowledge being bestowed on the subject, for many years. Meanwhile, art, be it in musical, cinematic or visual realms, depends heavily on individual skill, originality and innovation - it is the unknown and therefore deemed as unimportant by society. Yet, without it (either through its creation or enjoyment), every life would be devoid or passion and pretty much sterile. So, basically, damn anyone who tells you not to pursue an artistic career if you're confident in your skills and have love for your medium.
Still watching this video in 2018 for nth time..
Would love your take on technical aspect of the movie and story of this movie..
Quality is king and Aamir is the emperor of it. He's miles ahead of the other two Khans.
As an Indian kid who has taken up Humanities or "Arts" as many people call it I would like to add to the discussion about giving importance towards arts. I feel like Jaby didn't really get what Achara was trying to say. It's not really about appreciating art or the fact that parents don't want their children to have to struggle which is what the case is in USA. Unfortunately in Indian society it's more about maintaining the status quo. I have seen from personal experience and from that of my fellow Humanities students that even if you do really well in your selected career or stream people still kind of don't appreciate you and your success. Though the times are changing in India unfortunately most of the population still believes that only people who are not intelligent or have low IQs take up arts even if they are successful. people tend to alienate you and make fun of you if they find out you are an "arts" student. I have heard comments like "Oh did she not get into science?" "were her marks that bad" "you are planning on just chilling and then getting married after getting a basic degree." "Oh you don't know about so and so theory wow you're so dumb." It's not about the struggle of doing well in this field it's about certain orthodox ideologies about success and education in our society.
I admire the way you understand the essence of emotional and motivational character of the movie..you get it perfectly
What I feel is that as a species, the human race is in the process of evolution where we don't really feel that much in our everyday life but we still have those feelings and emotions inside of us which is what the Indian movies emphasize on. I would not completely categorize it to Bollywood movies though however they sure are more in number but if you look at American movies like Tree of life and Reader and Hackshaw Ridge(thats out of the genre but popped into my mind anyway) or not to mention some of the work of Hitchcock or Michael Haneke. They too have the same MO kind of. Where you have a very small story or less of a plot and emphasizing more on the depth of the scene, the emotion portrayed and conveyed in the process and showcasing the acting skills of course. So basically what I'm trying to tell here is as an audience I enjoy being able to feel those emotions to feel sad, feel inspired, feel driven even if with the help of a movie.
I watched this movie as a kid multiple times and loved it, yet didn't understand the full Message or purpose. I watched it again the other day and it was so simple to understand the message and I even picked up on small things I missed watching as a kid. Great discussion
your reviews are really good. Genuine. And I like the editing work and movie clippings. Taare zameen par is very relatable to us, be it the way the parents behave, the schools, the discipline and the protaganist's feelings. In India, parents are generally conservative and want tgeir child to become a degree holder, doctor, engineer. Achara put it correctly that though people enjoy art, they dont value it or think art as a their career choice. The society is changing rapidly though. Thankyou for reviewing Jaby!
Honest review.
You're right that Indian films do focus a lot upon the emotions especially in films concerning kids.
I absolutely loved this film for highlighting the issue of dyslexia in India which isn't as apparent or if it is it isn't given the due attention it deserves in mainstream schools.
Being from the UK at first I couldn't fathom what the big deal was as schools here are more aware of dyslexia and work to accommodate kids with it.
I appreciated how Aamir Khan took a back seat in this film and allowed the kid to shine.
Waah Jaby, another camera angle. Paisa coming in ;) Happy for you guys!
I dont know why I am telling this jaby but when I saw this movie I told my parents that I was also going through this same problem when I was in school but no one understood me that time and I was like.... jaby I think we need more movies like this in India great job by aamir khan
Love these reviews with Jaby and Achara. Best film reviewers out there. I especially like that rather than just focusing on the usual film areas you have the knowledge and ability to discuss the wider issues both from a technical film making perspective and societal themes highlighted in films. Keep up the good work guys.Thank you.
