We reported earlier how several actors have become teary-eyed while watching Aamir Khan’s super directorial hit Taare Zameen Par, including Sha-K (Shahid Kapur). We now learn that Karen Johar joins them.

“I couldn’t move from my seat for 10 minutes after the show. I just sobbed like a baby.” Not only that but the film was such an emotional experience for KJo that he admitted, “I was so moved by the story of the parents discovering the core of their child’s spirit that I now want to be a parent. I’m neither married nor have I ever intended to be a father in real life. But after watching Taare Zamen Par I truly want to be a father, to connect with a child on a level that only a parent can understand.”

Praise also flowed freely for the debutant director from his friend SRK. “After seeing the film I called up Aamir and told him that sincerity of vision was part of his DNA. He just can’t help being the creator and the artiste that he is. It’s hard to believe Taare Zamen Par is his first film as a director. Look at the performance he has got out of the child actor Darsheel Safary.”

Actors, audiences and critics agree … Taare Zameen Par is definitely a landmark film.
