A heart touching, sensitive and earnest movie always finds its takers. Secret Superstar is one such movie.
Secret Superstar is the story of giving your dreams a wholehearted try despite the restrictions imposed. It also highlights the beautiful bond of a Mother-Daughter and friendship. The movie moves at a leisure pace to the point of being sluggish. Acting is its USP. Watch it on satellite tv or prime video/netflix preferably.
Plot :
Musically gifted Insiya dreams of showcasing her talent to the entire world, despite being stuck in a conservative household who has a hot tempered man as its patriarch. Her mother is her friend and co-conspirator who allows her freedom within boundaries. It is their journey together.
Review :
Zaira wasim is a cute, freckled, kinda chubby cheeked girl with the most expressive eyes. Insiya’s character is bought to life beautifully by her.
You can associate with her subordinate nature - when you have to comply to some rules even if you dont agree to it, the anguish wherein you relieve the stress by smashing everything to smithereens, the rebel streak which doesn't compromise on dreams and wishes for their fulfillment.
The mother, Meher Vij, takes the cake, bakery and the ingredients manufacturers! Her najma will make everyone teary eyed with its acting sincerity, her helplessness of being stuck with a hot headed husband who needs no provocation for belting out the blows and standing by and for her children’s dreams and security. She is very pretty and casted perfectly as zaira’s mom.
The father will provoke you to try slapping the screen, thanks to his narrow minded thinking and antics.
Aamir is a cheepad and leechad with the perfect expressions and moves, but with a golden heart! Perfect as usual!
Insiya’s friend, Chintan, is soooo adorable with his dimples and smile!
The songs are good but the spark of superstar voice seemed missing!
