What is this movie all about?

Well, I don't want to be a spoiler if you haven't watched the movie yet but I will be giving short details of what this movie is all about. So this movie is about a 14 years old girl named "Insiya" who lives in the city Vadodara, India and has a dream of becoming a singer one day. This movie revolves around her mother, who is a victim of domestic violence, her abusive father would prefer she grew up to serve him, her brother who steals the show with his cuteness, her funny boyfriend at school and yer the mail scene-stealer Aamir Khan.This little girl had a dream of becoming a singer and very passionate about it too but her father is against her dream as for him women are supposed to be at home just to serve. But Insiya is well supported by her mother and sister.

Her mother is a victim of domestic violence and the girl also tries to divorce them both. Since Insiya wasn't allowed to participate in any competition so she decided to make a video hiding her face by wearing a burka and upload to YouTube. And yes sooner she became an icon as she got so many likes and support from people across the world. Looking at her singing skills she got a call from a talented but a rude music director named "Shakti Kumar" (role played by Aamir Khan), who calls her for a recording in Mumbai. Then Insiya took help from his boyfriend and flew to Mumbai to record the song. Later the girls met a lawyer to divorce her parent, but this didn't go well with her mother when she came to know about it. Later her father had a job transfer to Saudi and wanted to shift along with his family. Her father also wants her to get married at a very young age, but Insiya was against it and wanted to fight for her right.While they were at the airport her father asks to throw her Guitar as baggage weight was increasing and now the movie turned. Now her mother realized and protested against it after seeing her daughter crying and signed on the divorce paper which Insiya gave it to her.And the movie ends with Insiya winning "best singer" award and the secret superstar shows her face to all the world.

Here is the trailer for this movie:-

Some social message from this movie:-

This movie was all about women.But the question is why are women treated this way? You can see such issue in a country like India, which I am really ashamed about. Domestic violence, child marriage, dowry, female infanticide etc these are the curse which a woman had to face throughout her life right from her birth (only if it happens).I personally believe this is due to lack of education and the way we are brought up.This is 21st century and it is high time that such practices must be abolished and we all must play a part in it.

Nice story....waiting to watch the movie

Nice review

Though the concept was good but the script was predictable. Going by the standards that Aamir Khan has set for himself, it wasn't that great a movie (considering his last movie Dangla which was on a different level altogether)

This is a different kind of movie just like "Dear Zindagi".

We still have a society that believes in child marriage and going abusive against women. Hope we grow and become gentleman someday

Yes, it's high time. We must start behaving like a human and bring change to this society.

Totally.

I really liked the movie. It was worth watching in theater :)

Aamir played a wonderful role.
