The Times of India commented [mysterious superstar] that "if you are repeating your mother's life, you will definitely be poked in the movie". The British "Guardian" even compared this film to a clear stream, "this is first-class entertainment, the best antidote to the downturn of Western films."
[Mysterious Superstar] has a Douban score of 8.2
The movie [Mysterious Superstar] mainly tells the story of 14-year-old Indian girl Yin Xiya (Seira Worthy) who longs to become a singer, helplessly prefers sons to sons, and also abuses Yin Xiya's mother, causing her singer dream to become a luxury from the beginning. For her daughter's dreams, her mother sold jewelry to buy her laptop. Yin Xiya posted a video of her masked singing song online, and because of her natural voice, it became a hit, even attracting the attention of topic musician Shakti Kumar (Amir Khan) and changing her life.
In a patriarchal society, women are humble and often reduced to tools for succession
Judging from the plot alone, it seems to be another cliché story of the showbiz circle that chases dreams and dreams. But the story takes place in such a patriarchal society as India, where children's dreams and women's freedom and independence have become the film's emotional accumulation until they overflow and shed tears of happiness.

Although Amir Khan doesn't play much in [Mysterious Superstar], he is willing to be a green leaf. But I have to say that the whole story of [Mysterious Superstar] is actually related to Army Khan.
Most people know Amir Khan, or from [Three Fools Bollywood], [I Drop a God] and [Wrestle!] Daddy] to start. In fact, Amir Khan debuted at the age of 8, starred in a movie that sensationalized all over India, and is considered a promising child star! But then Amir Khan fell in love with tennis and won the tennis championship in Maharashtra, the equivalent of a province in the country.

In the 2014 Tennis League, the 49-year-old Amir Khan also played a wonderful match with Federer. It can be seen that Amir Khan is not physically inferior to professional players, but the serve and position are still professional.
Amir Khan, who did not play tennis, returned to the big screen and fell in love with the girl next door at the age of 21. But Amir Khan was a Muslim, the girl's family was Hindu, and parents on both sides opposed the marriage. So, the two eloped...
Slowly, Amir Khan began experimenting with behind-the-scenes, behind-the-scenes, television interviews. Take, for example, the three TV talk shows that began producing in 2012, called "Truth Interviews," are the true stories of Amir Khan's interviews with people from different classes in India, exposing criticism in society and trying to wake up people and inspire government action.
These 13 TV talk shows explore issues including child sexual abuse, arranged marriages, unscrupulous doctors, domestic violence, and caste systems. Amir Khan felt: "The solution lies in starting with me, starting with everyone." If this suffering happens in the society in which I live, then I should take responsibility for not preventing it from happening. ”
Although Interview with the Truth was Amir Khan's first foray into television production, the ratings and impact were no less than any Bollywood blockbuster he starred in.
On top of that, the first episode aired and attracted more than 90 million viewers, and some states (similar to China's provinces) soon introduced policies to severely punish doctors who perform elective abortions. The day after the program on child sexual abuse aired, India's Federal Parliament voted to pass a long-shelved bill to protect children from sexual harassment. After the caste system episode aired, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh directly invited Amir Khan to meet and talk.
If you've seen Interview with Truth, you'll see that the work starring Amir Khan is inextricably linked to the real events in Interview with Truth. For example, this [Mysterious Superstar] is actually written by director and screenwriter Adva Xiangdeng after watching the first season of "Truth Interview". The show explores the life of women in domestic violence and abuse, in which a single mother received the support and encouragement of her daughter after the death of her husband, got a driver's license, and became a driver, which is enough to gain a foothold in society.
In [Mysterious Superstar], Yin Xiya's mother has been enduring domestic violence by her husband for the sake of her children
The experience of women's liberation and social status in the interview is very similar to the mother's determination in [Mysterious Superstar], signing a divorce agreement to stay away from her abusive husband, and taking Yin Xiya and her young son back to life.
Daughter Yin Xiya sang songs through the Internet, and director Adwar Chanden saw a ten-year-old boy, Shubham Jaglan, while watching the third season of "Truth Interview", who learned 60% of his golf skills through YouTube videos and became the youngest golf champion. It was Shubham's story that inspired director Adva Xiangdeng to allow the film's daughter Yin Xiya to also meet and interact with fans through Youtube.
"Truth Interview", Amir Khan also talked about a story, that is, the Indian society favors sons over women and chooses to kill female babies.
The director and Amir Khan also incorporated this story into the movie "Mysterious Superstar". Yin Xiya learned that when she was born, the man's family wanted to abort the girl, but the doctor who did the abortion at the hospital had to push until the next morning. That night, her mother disappeared and returned home, holding herself in her arms as a baby. From then on, Yin Xiya knew that her mother had not rebelled against herself, but had been fighting all along.
The plot of [Mysterious Superstar] looks routine, but in fact it is mostly real. The emotions between the characters are thus more full, even very sensational. The film has done a lot of articles around the feelings between Yin Xiya's mother and daughter, the two pay each other, improve understanding in happiness and friction, and finally run to freedom and happiness. Like the ending credits, "To mother and motherhood", the mother is the real "mysterious superstar".
In addition to the touching affection between mother and daughter before, when Yin Xiya smashed the computer in [Mysterious Superstar], we seemed to hear the sound of broken dreams. But when I saw her grow up and be able to stand alone, I was really happy for her. Similarly, the silent protection of the boys around Yin Xiya, the director really shot that kind of youthful, simple, transparent feeling, not at all like "Aurora Love" to the point of not being able to bear to look directly.
So, the movie [the melting pot] can change the laws of a country, and what the actor Aamir Khan does really changes a country, making more women aware of the reciprocity of dignity and the right to pursue freedom and embrace dreams. In the form of entertainment, unveiling the scars of reality, [Mysterious Superstar] did it.
