Secret Superstar

A simple and sweet film, about a small town girl who dares to dream big.


As story, that's what it is, a fourteen year old girl from a conservative family, uneducated mother in a troubled and abusive marriage, controlling father.....the dream to become a famous singer.....finding an unlikely mentor....predictable end. 

It's yet been down wonderfully. The story, the characterizations, the deep conditioning, the relationships, the breakthroughs........they have an emotional tenor that connects into you.

It's all new faces, except for Aamir Khan who plays a small but pivotal role, and they each did so good, Insiya (Zaira Wasim), her mom (Meher Vij), and the easy to hate dad (Raj Arjun). One of my favourites was Chintan (Tirth Sharma) who was just adorable, as was that first crush with all it's innocence and charm. Songs were nice, again simple nice.

A worthwhile watch.
