The NYT, as usual, has a clueless, pandering-to-exotic-Indian-cinema "good" review. What is also said is: In a film impressed with Chinese gadgetry — including a pair of leg cuffs that help the dance-challenged — and with scenes set in the sleek urban landscape of Shanghai, it’s hard not to see a broader point: India, don’t be afraid of China’s accomplishments. Be yourself. You will succeed.
Where did that come from? Again, clueless. This time culturally.
But here's the good part:
Read bad review here and here.
And here.
And as this review rightly says, If only "Taare Zameen Par" could have gotten its hands on that magic potato [of worldwide Warner Bros-backed publicity].
When will the Hindi film industry learn that mediocrity can only work so many times?
