Secret Superstar is one of the few movies that travel far with you and you just carried away along with them. It is a story about motherhood (an unceasing and endearing relationship between a mother and a daughter), about dreams and struggles to achieve them. This movie marvelously illustrates if you really have a dream and you have the will to fulfill it, then no matter how bad the circumstances are, you will turn your dreams into reality. It beautifully explains the sacrifices a mother can make to make her child happy and his/her dream come true.
Now coming to the plot/story which is a backbone of this wonderful movie: The story is very engaging and mesmerizing. It is highly inspiring and filled with a lot of emotions and unforgettable moments. Some scenes are the real heart-stealer like scenes between Insiya (Zaria Wasim) and her mother (Meher Vij), the first meeting of Shakti Kumar (Aamir Khan) and Insiya and last few minutes. This film will also make you nostalgic for your school love and crushes. 10/10 for Advait Chandan's highly inspiring and emotional story. Phenomenal -10/10.
Direction: Advait Chandan's direction is terrific and beyond expectations. It doesn't seem that it is his first movie as a director. I didn't expect SO MUCH from him. He has captured the mother- daughter bond brilliantly and framed emotional and tear- jerking moments beautifully. And also, he has put the right dose of humor into the movie.
Performances: The film is loaded with brilliant and mind-blowing performances. After Dangal, Zaria Wasim once again proved that she is a brilliant actor and upcoming "superstar". Her acting is impeccable and extraordinary. She has lived the character of a teenage girl caged by his orthodox and short-tempered father but dares to dream big and tries to fulfill it against all odds. Meher Vij is very natural and realistic. She is very adorable and reminds you of your mother. But, Aamir Khan despite being in a supportive and short role, creates magic. He makes you laugh with his raunchy face expressions and dance moves but also makes you cry with his tearful and heart-warming eyes at the same time. Also, Raj Arjun (Zaria's father) and Tirth Sharma (Zaria's School friend) have played their parts wonderfully. 10/10 in performances.
Music: The music of the film is good. Although, except "Nachdi Phira" none of the songs seems to be a perfect choice for the playlist and to be listened in a repetitive mode. But, when you listen to them in the movie, the songs seem completely different and soothing due to their perfect timings and great lyrics. It would have been terrific if all the songs were as good as "Nachdi Phira". But still, they are pleasurable when you hear them in the movie.
The last verdict: "Secret Superstar" is a very special movie and a perfect Diwali gift from Aamir Khan and Zaria Wasim. It inspires you and makes you nostalgic for your school days. This movie makes you cry and laugh at the same time and connects with you in the best possible way. Don't dare to skip this masterpiece at any cost. Go with your family and loved ones and come out of the theater with tears in your eyes but smile on your face. A MUST MUST WATCH. MIND- BLOWING!!!
