---TAHAAN REVIEW-----

STORY- set in paradise on earth `KASHMIR` A story of a young child who can do ANYTHING  to get his beloved donkey back, which had to be sold due to urgent need of money,,,,

Missed it last year,..... it was released last year, cudnt see it that time,,

i`ve been searching this movie all over, finally go its dvd in mangalore

on a day in which i saw delhi 6 {ok} and dev d { rubbish} and was losing faith in hindi movies, tahaan came as a breather

Tahaan is also the story of present-day Kashmir and cross-border terrorism, and of course, of the test that the little boy is put to in the name of unconditional friendship.

how a terrorist uses little boy`s innocence for whom getting his donkey back was paramount as a tool for delivery of bombs,RDX etc is spell binding

little things in the movie like the kids who dress up as militants and play hide and seek shotout is touching,,, it gives a picture of the condition of children in KASHMIR , who despite being in a curtain of fever 24*7 enjoy life to the fullest

they love their land even if it rains bombs evry day

hats off to their spirit

the depiction of beautiful kasmir, its picturesque landscapes, waters, mountains surely signify it being called as `heaven on earth`

all actors are highly efficient ,,, rahul bose,anupam kher, viktor banerjee

but the real winner was the little boy who portrays his character as good as a pro ,his charm, innocence, childishness, cry evrything you can relate to

while watching the movie, i was thinking about RAHUL BOSE coming to manipal on 28th feb, and i thought how lucky i am 

will try for a pic with him surely :)

director Santosh Sivan strikes the right chord with this film, one wonders why such a palpable insight into Kashmir was missing in films dealing with the same issues.

I will not say anything more ..  watch it, it will touch you beyond anything that has touched you recently............

my rating 9.5/10
