Taare Zameen Par DVD pack - 1 FlipBook + 1 Pencil-Notebook + 2 Paintings + 3 Discs!!


The much awaited DVD is out and trust me, it won't disappoint the fans. The touching story of the eight year old Ishaan Awasthi(Darsheel Safary) who suffers from Dyslexia had flooded theatres and neighbouring streets in tears months ago. The movie is now out in the DVD version and it comes packaged with a lot of interesting stuff. To start off, there is the movie DVD, which is nothing more than your normal Anamorphic wide screen video with 5.1 Dolby Digital sound and it has the optional Directors commentary (which is not very common as far as Bollywood releases are concerned). Then comes the second Special DVD which has the making of the movie, deleted scenes including scenes walk through by Aamir Khan who gives us reasons for the deletion.
Then the DVD cover says that there is a panel discussion on children, which I haven't checked out yet. Then there are the usual promos, trailers and stills in the special DVD. The TZP pack also contains a third disc, this time an audio CD, which has the whole background score. This is an interesting addition because Bollywood was never known for releasing background scores as a separate CD. (As far as I know, it was done only for RGV's Sarkar Raj previously). That sums up the digital content.
Now comes the best part. The DVD comes in a pack which looks like that of a branded shirt. Inside the pack is stuffed two great quality hard prints of the two paintings that are made by Aamir's and Darsheel's characters towards the climax of the movie. The 'Flipbook' which was a major tear-jerker in the movie also forms a part of the package. Yes, you actually get to keep a copy of the flipbook :)
Then there is a TZP special pencil and Ishaan's notebook. In the notebook, Ishaan describes the relevance of each character around him in the movie in his own unique kiddish style :)
Priced at Rs.499, It is expensive but still worthwhile for fans and yes ofcourse I have my copy already!!
