Review of Like Stars on Earth (2007) by Chinmai R — 01 Apr 2012
Aamir Khan is a frigging Genius! I was enjoying the movie.....but wondering when the Legendary Aamir Khan was going to appear (1 hour 10 mins in).....Wow that was some entrance! Both he and the boy deserve credit for their performances.
There are songs.....but refreshingly they all sound different, according to what mood and what's happening in the film. Also the film continues while these songs play out, so they relate to what's happening as much as the pictures do.
I'm not sure if the title in English is 'Every Child Is Special' or ' Like Stars On Earth' - It doesn't really matter. What matters is this is one of those 'experience' films.
....the type that goes far beyond your average entertaining movie. This has heart and emotion.....and the message is a strong one. There's a lot of invention and imagination - shown through animation and painting.
...and of course, there's always hope and understanding. And Aamir's first time as Director as well as his usual Producer/ Star roles. After seeing this a few times i'm still wet with emotion.
...going to bump this up to 4 stars (Great).....because of the last hour.
