When I heard for the first time about this movie, there was a 'Narnia' hangover all around. When I saw its promo in TV of two kids and some magical creatures looking like giant trolls and honey bees, I had made up my mind never to watch this. The movie was 'Bridge to Terabithia'.
Later I got my hands on it and the movie had me by the middle of the opening credits. Quite different from what the trailers suggest, 'Bridge to..' is not about kids getting lost in a magical world. This wrong message sent in the promos might have affected its collection too. In a nutshell, its the story of a boy, Jess, meeting at school this wonderful friend, a golden haired girl called Leslie and how they go about telling stories and building an imaginary world in the abandoned woods nearby. The movie also covers their school days, Jess' sweet crush on his pretty music teacher (the pretty Zooey Deschanel :) ) and their fights with the school bullies. What I am trying to say is that the movie here has a strong story line!! So please do watch it. Its imaginative and the characters are well written.
Look up Taare Zameen Par in imdb. Scroll down to the recommendations section. (**Music rolling in the background**)
Bingo! this movie is right there. That tells a lot about this movie to the Indian audience. Enjoy!!
PS: For those who are interested, this movie is based on a book of the same name by Katherine Patterson.

Now this sounds more like my kind! Btw, why would it repel people if it reminds one of Narnia. I thought the Narnia chronicles were pretty popular.
Thats right!! But a bucket and tissue paper handy :P
Really? Narnia makes you cry?? I kinda liked the first part and there was nothing cry-able about it.
i said 'Thats right' for your comment that it sounds like your kind. Narnia usually repels the 'grown ups' and many think its just for the kids. I was talking about the bucket and crying for 'Bridge to Terabithia'
