This is the second Aamir Khan movie I've watched this year, and it really didn't disappoint, if the last movie "Wrestle! "Dad" has a point of view that will be misinterpreted by people with ulterior motives, so "Secret Superstar" can be said to have almost no weaknesses.
Insia, a 15-year-old girl, has a good voice, plays a good guitar, can write songs, loves to dream, has a boy who has a crush on her, and a gentle and beautiful mother. It seems like the setting of the heroine of a youth drama, but with a father who is domestic violence, irritable, and patriarchal, the whole story becomes completely different.
Mother came to the station to pick up Insia from the school group trip. Seeing her mother wearing sunglasses, Insia immediately understood that her father beat her again, but her mother wanted to cover up the past with a playful tone.
Insia wanted to apply to her father to participate in the singing competition organized by the school, because the prize was her dream notebook. Her mother asked her to ask her while her father was eating, but she secretly did not put salt in the dishes, which led her father's anger to herself. Avoid unnecessary trouble for your daughter.
My mother miraculously bought a laptop for Insia, a very valuable gift for my mother who didn't have any income, but this laptop brought joy to the whole family except my father. Whether it is the younger brother or the older aunt, through a small laptop, they are exposed to the vast world.
Insia wants to sing a song she wrote and upload it to YouTube, but she is worried that her father will scold her after knowing it. Her mother finds out the burqa and asks her to wear it. And red.
As long as the father is not at home, it is the happiest day for the whole family, and when the father is at home, he can secretly record songs, because if he attends an event or watches a movie, he will only bring his wife, son, and aunt, and leave Insia at home. .
Because the Insia exam failed, her father destroyed her guitar; when he learned that his wife sold the gold necklace to buy a notebook, the furious father not only beat his wife, who was dressed up to attend a friend's wedding with him, but also ordered Insia Throw away the notebook.
The two life sustenances of notebook and guitar have disappeared. Insia is very depressed. Fortunately, Chintan, a boy who likes her, keeps cheering for her, encouraging her, helping her, and helping her through difficulties. She went to Mumbai for Shakti Kumar, a famous musician. record song.
Although this secret superstar can sing very well, her temper is not small, whether it is to her mother or her younger brother, or even to Chintan who has been on her side from beginning to end, she will often get angry. When Insia persuaded her mother to leave her father, she was reluctant to take her younger brother to leave with her, because she was worried that her younger brother would become the same person as her father when she grew up, but she did not expect that she would actually become grumpy under her father's subtle influence.
With the help of Shakti Kumar, Insia met Sheena Sabawala, a female lawyer who specializes in divorce cases, and obtained a divorce agreement from her that only needs to be signed by the mother. Sheena Sabawala didn't like the playboy Shakti Kumar at first, but after this incident, he didn't think he was as bad as he thought.
However, when my mother saw the divorce agreement, she rarely got angry with Insia: "You are like your father, he never asked my consent, you asked me to divorce your father, but why didn't you first ask me if I wanted a divorce? "The illiterate mother has no job, and after leaving her father, it is difficult to raise a pair of children alone. Insia simply does not want her mother to be hurt again, but does not carefully consider this practical issue.
My father needed to move to Saudi Arabia for work reasons, and he also contacted Insia early to marry her and planned to marry her as soon as he arrived in Saudi Arabia. Although Insia was reluctant, considering the sacrifices her mother had made for her, she also gave up her dream of singing, gave up the boy she liked, and prepared to meet the planned cage-like life.
But my mother didn't give up. Before Mumbai boarded the flight to Saudi Arabia, my father asked Insia to throw away the guitar because of an extra piece of checked luggage. This move was the last straw that broke the camel's back. The mother, who had always been submissive, signed a divorce agreement on the spot and took her children to the free and vast fields.
The final plot is old-fashioned but very moving. At the music awards ceremony, Indian superstar Monali Thakur played herself, humbly saying that the best female singer of the year should be a secret superstar and wants to give her the trophy. With everyone's encouragement, Insia walked to the podium and took off the black burqa in front of the camera, because she was free and no longer needed to cover up her true identity.
There are Easter eggs at the end, don't miss it.
There are a few details about the burqa and headscarf in the film, which are worth mentioning 1 When Insia recorded a video for YouTube, she wore a black burqa (Niqab) that only exposed her eyes 2 When her father was going to attend a friend's wedding with her mother , Emphasizing that their family is relatively modern and doesn't like burqa, and told her not to wear 3 Insia when she went to Mumbai alone twice, she wore a black burqa, but she showed her face (Hijab). After taking off the burqa, the recording is perfect. 4 My mother wears a white Hijab hijab when she prays, and a colored one when she goes out. My aunt usually wears a white Hijab hijab at home. 5 Insia, my mother and my aunt went to Saudi Arabia. They were all wearing black burqa 6. Insia took off the black burqa in front of the camera of the awards ceremony and stepped onto the podium in a pink Indian Salwar Suit.
