Don’t kill the child
within you because when everybody reminds you that you’re ordinary or mediocre it’s
the child inside you who says,”you are special”
There are very few movies which gives you a complete package
of a good feeling, humming songs while stepping out of cinema hall, a different
perspective of life, a movie character to whom you can relate to, a couple of
movie sequences which keep on flashing in front of your eyes days after
watching the movie, and a resolve to better your life, cherish the
relationships and letting the child inside you live.
Tamsha works perfectly because it is imperfect in large parts
and so is our life. The film is not just another romantic movie and hats off to
Imtiaz Ali to direct such a lovely piece of art. The appreciation, in equal
measures, goes to both Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone who enacted brilliant
characters in the film. A couple of scenes in the movie : Ranbir kapoor
imploding after break-up and Deepika Padukone trying to pacify him along with
the scene of Ranbir Kapoor telling story to his father is class apart and kudos
to Imtiaz Ali for such an accomplishment. A. R. Rahman’s music, though not one
of his best creation, is aptly shot in the movie and the synergy works as the
music lingers on in the subconscious mind for quiet a few days. The songs safarnama, tu koi aur hai and tum sath ho is brilliantly shot and
gives all together different experience to the song. The whole second half
lifts the movie to a very different level which doesn’t require boxoffice
numbers or critics’ rave reviews to establish itself as one of the best movie
in hindi film genre and create a niche for itself.
A few Q&A raised in the movie :
1) “Nahi Sahab yaha to hum rikshaw wale
hai. Yaha koi maika lal humko pehchan nhi paya sir. Ander se kuch aur hi hum
aur bahar se majboor". Which of our character is real
and which of our character is fake : The one who is mediocre, ordinary, a polite, sincere and obedient
employee living in a city – a comfortable but colorless, lifeless life or the
one who is fearsome, happy and naughty when he travels and cherish every moment
of with his loved ones without carrying the baggage of city life?
2) “Mujhe nhi lagta Tum ordinary ho. Tumhare
saath hoti hu to main special ho jaati hu yaar toh socho tum khud kya hoge”. Life is all about the power of love. Ranbir Kapoor did not
break free from baggage of being in race he was forced to run by his father, a
race he knew he will always be mediocre until love compelled him to break free.
3) A race in
which we all compete, starting from the day we took first step in the school,
without knowing what we all are racing for, or maybe we all know that, we race
to become the best ‘robot’ and to lead the best ‘mechanical life’. A race in which we lose our sleep to earn
peaceful sleep, sacrifice our comfort to live a comfortable life and make all endeavor
to live someone else’s life.

"Darta
hai. Darr lagta hai. Apni kahani mujh se pooch rha hai. Kayar. Kisse darta hai.
Hai kaun yahan. Tu bata kya hota hai aage. Bata. Bol apni kahani. Kya hai tere
dil k ander. Chahta kya hai tu. Dil me heer liye aur heer khoje virane me.
Farebi. Dhokebaaz." Facing
the demons inside, running away from it is not an option.
5)
“Kaisi
lagi kahani. Papa? Ending kharab hai na? Ending sahi nahi. To koi baat nahi apni
kahani hai. Ending change kar lenge." We
are the masters of our own destiny. We are the makers of our own fate. When we fully realize this truth, we will no
longer search for the truth outside of ourselves.
6)
"Haan
ek tha jo kehta tha ki main special hoon. Bachpan. Mera Bachpan." Don’t kill the child inside you and keep your
childhood alive in your heart and soul.
