Taare Zameen Par, imho, has been the most amazing thing the commercial Bollywood cinema has given us in the past 3 years, or maybe more; rest of it all has been an 'abortion' as Ignatius Reilly would call it. Generally, one starts losing interest, or going theoretical about a movie after watching it several times; but this one just digs deeper, sits there, evokes an even greater response and digs further into your emotions every time you see it again. Don't understand why, but seeing it the first time was an excessively happy affair, second one a bit less of it, but the Nth time today - switching my gaze between the tele and the laptop - has still managed to bring out a greater emotion than those earlier times. Seeing more, am I?

Right now, I'm going gaga over the accompanying background score. And I know why it works for me - its too Thomas Newman...a subtle running ambiance, simple, bold individual piano keystrokes (often in the minor), often jarring; and the perfect aural accompaniment to the onscreen happenings. So, there, another thing to discover about the movie. Suggest me something to SEE the next time.

FYI, it was recorded by the genius trio of Shanker, Ehsaan, Loy at some house (Aamir's?) in Panchgani (not a studio) in a short time, using something called 'Live' recording where they play out alongside the running movie, rather than working on cues and feeding into a computer as in a studio.
