You can easily put the origins of this to one side and enjoy a piece of cinema that is still unique in many ways. The central performance from Aamir Khan is delightful, the supporting roles just as good and the messages and meanings as intense as any, from a film that asks you to consider the way you perceive and see the world, and whether there might be anything you can do to make it better for those around you.
