Ishaan Awasthi is a dyslexic eight-year-old with a colorful imagination. While his thoughts wander with such wonders as fish, dogs, and kites, everyone around him seems to be more concerned with homework, grades, and neatness. Thoughtful, but unable to fit in, Ishaan's life changes when he meets Ram Shankar Nikumbh, his new art teacher.

I remember watching this movie in theaters and looking left and right to see everyone around me crying. Such is the emotional nature of this movie. But don't let that deter you. The relationship between Ishaan and Ram is truly heartwarming, not to mention the complex relationships he shares with his family members. A relevant social commentary on a society that is not fully equipped to teach differently-abled kids or welcoming of them, Taare Zameen Par makes you wish for an understanding and patient education system that is just like Ram.
