This post is a manifestation of my disappointment with the ‘perfectionist’ of our times. I loved "Taare Zameen Par" for its simplicity in portraying the mind of a young child and his battle with the much-criticized education system. But after doing a little research, I found out that Aamir Khan, the debutant director actually lifted a scene cut to cut from the classic comic strip "Calvin and Hobbes".
Watch this scene of Taare Zameen Par.
Then check these Calvin and Hobbes strips.
This hurts me because I loved "Taare Zameen Par" and most of all, I am a big big fan of "Calvin and Hobbes" and its creator Bill Watterson. God bless you, Bill.
