REVIEW
Very rarely did we see films which say a story and also appeal to the audience and are also technically correct. RDB, LRM to name a few. TZP is one amongst those.
The film is a story of a child, barely 8 years-Ishan Awasthi (Darsheel Safary) old struggling to leave upto the competitive normal people sufferring from dlyxeria, his family and the person who brings about a change in his life, his art teacher Mr Nikumbh ( Aamir Khan)
What catches the eye is Darsheel. His expressions are just apt. The character is also built fantastically and takes the audience along. Tisca Chopra does a fantabulous job and Aamir is ever dependable.
The script is par excellence at most places. There are so many sequences that stay well etched in your mind after the show is over. The sequence where (Aamir) Nikumbh meets Ishan's parents is one which needs special mention. Editing is good. Cinematography is striking. So many shots of Panchgani making the film look a scenic beauty. Art direction is also first rate. Music is totally in sync with the narrative. Title track and Maa are especially appealing. Aamir is an excellent director.
In fact Aamir maintains a good balance of cinema's asthetic beauty and its commercialities. But somewhere there is a small scratch in the narrative where the film looks to go overboard by 10 15 mins towards its conclusion. The climax slightly deviates me feels.
All n all a great film. And Darsheel deserves a special award. He is irresistably cute
