Secret Superstar

Saw this first day in a theater with my family. Aamir once again proves he is one of the few finest actors in Bollywood today. Very convincingly n nicely he fits into every character he plays, no matter the screen time. He is magnificent, but he does not carry the weight of this film on his own. A slue of other fine actors give absolutely divine performances, especially Zaira Wasim. The story centers around a 15 year old girl. The film highlights her talents while also showing the painful problems that comes with being a female in a patriarchal society. Beautifully acted, sweet but not syrupy and perfect for a break from all the holiday madness, Secret Superstar is a true gem.

I liked "A star is born", but then I watched this movie from 2017 and wondered what "A star is born" was missing...well a lot of things - of course if the movie was created to justify the title.

This movie is not made for Oscars or awards , it is made for reasons. Reasons that prevent from millions of people to reach their potential. It's an ode to a mother, an ode to a girl child and hopefully a lesson for a lot of people to be more accepting. My Oscar for 2018 goes to this movie, just because it was not just entertainment but also and inspiration.

Great natural acting, very minimalistic and simplistic direction, strong message and a inspiration to dream! The movie is a bit longish but it was needed to develop the characters to their full potential. Having said that cutting off 15 minutes would have made it a bit better for international markets as well.

Completely recommended for all the people who are looking for a movie to be engrossed in! ( Note that i love Avengers as well, but this one is not a movie where you can read a book while watching the movies, take a seat and take a ride with this one!)

Debutant director Advait Chandan has hit the right chords by beautifully portraying the mother-daughter relationship and setting the story in a middle class locality where not only you, your dreams and emotions are also trapped by the 'man' of the house.

This is a story of a teenage girl Insia (Zaira Wasim) who tackling massive challenges imposed by her overtly potent father (Raj Arjun) finally fulfils her dreams of becoming a superstar singer with the support of her helpless mother (Meher Vij), best friend Chintan (Tirth Sharma) and an out of luck music director Shakti Kumar (Aamir Khan). All the performances are so enthralling that it keeps you glued to the screen and makes you give a victory jump at the climax.

On the whole, Secret Superstar is a brilliantly crafted film inspiring people to chase dreams as they do come true, highlighting relevant social issues of patriarchal society and showing the importance of mothers. It's a mother's unconditional love and sacrifice that holds the family together. She sacrifices all her passions and dreams for the sake of her husband and child. Salute to all mothers and motherhood.

Aamir khan never fails to amaze us, never! Do not miss this film.

This is my first IMDb review and I don't know why am I writing this although I am not into this review thing :P...Maybe the movie drove me here. First things first....Aamir Khan - take a bow for this man.He always did everything right.Fits into every single role as if there's no one on the planet who can do them so perfectly as he did!! This is a simple script, a girl who is not even allowed to dream has a dream..to sing big! Zaira Wasim..mmuahh.....Loved her throughout the film <3<3<3... Meher as the mother was magnificent. Simple script, beautiful screenplay, heartfelt emotions, altogether, an emotional ride!!!A perfect blend of a mother's love and some Aamir's comic... A must watch for everyone... 10 on 10!No more words... Now stop reading and go watch it

Secret Superstar looks like it is a sequel to Aamir Khan's 2007 psychological film "Taare Zameen Par" where Darsheel Safary is replaced by a not-so-unknown "Fresh-Face" Zaira Wasim. Zaira Wasim totally steals the show. Also, the contribution to the film's elegance made by Meher Vij is worth-applauds.

Secret Superstar is a story of a young girl named Insiya (Zaira Wasim) who wants the whole world to listen to her fresh voice. She is strongly supported by her on-screen mother (Meher Vij). But, Insiya's wings are pulled off by her father (Raj Arjun).

But, the twist in the by-time extra-emotional film, is added by a funky-chunky musician and singer Shakti Kumaarr who is better known for his unusual behavior but strongly supports the ideas of Insiya.

The movie is a best for to be known "psychologically emotional." Secret superstar is another best Aamir Khan Film to watch out with your family this weekend after his blockbusters such as Dangal, PK and Taare Zameen Par.
