A rejig of the Helen Keller bio set in India with a male Keller. Sometimes overdone, sometimes wonderful. The teacher figure has a unique and eccentric style - perfectly covers the old saw, 'there method in his madness'- which sometimes intrudes on the drama being shown - his yelling at a deaf pupil makes no sense and is jarring, along with her sometimes too-acute-for-a-blind-person meandering. In patches overacted and over-emoted but at other times this one really works. Nil Bollywood touches.

Stunning photography, but really really cliched and often ridiculous.

Despite some unconvincing narrative missteps (especially the incident that breaks up the central relationship), a powerful and moving Bollywood spin on THE MIRACLE WORKER, anchored by Bachchan, and Mukerji & Kapoor, both brilliant as his troublesome pupil. The underlying story arc is familiar from countless other tales, but the contrasting narrative of Bachchan's decline adds dramatic weight and resonance, and the gorgeous cinematography and staging makes this an absolute pleasure to bask in.

Over exaggerated movie; does not suite the society due to its message of using personal teacher

greattttt

Huznun tavan yaptigi son derece anlamli bir film, selpaklari hazirlayip izlemeli.

It was quite nicely shot, I give it that.

Despite some weak points in the plot and the overacting of the teacher's character, this is a very touching movie and has the potential to bring katharsis.

07 Aralik 08, 01:36am., natalie ile, yonetmenin izledigim ilk filmi & kor ve sagir olmanin ne demek oldugunu anlayamasaniz da neler yasadigina dair bir fikriniz oluyor filmin sonunda. azim ve basari oykusu kismi ise biraz abartili olmus, keske bu kadar abartmasalarmis dedirtiyor. konu aslen basit, daha evvel defalarca islenmis bir konu lakin cok fazla civitmadan, konuya farkli yonlerden de bakarak -kardesler arasi iliski, aile ici tutarsizlik- guzel bir 2 saat gecirtiyor. oyunculuklar mukemmel!
