Taare Zameen Par, which means Stars on the earth, ornamented by the brilliant acting by Dharsheel Safary, a child who turning
actor with this film. Though this film is a about a gifted child who is dyslexic yet the subject is not restricted to just a dyslexic child struggling with his writing and reading, but also talks about the struggle of a child against the rigor s of a school system which pounces on every little mistake and humiliates the child for making it. This Hindi film starts with a scene in which Darsheel (Ishaan Awasthi in film) dipping his head into a drain outside his school and pick up tiny tadpoles from it. Besides this, he also likes sketch and paint. He feels that colours are speaking to him but can not recognize the alphabets and numbers. That is why he is called lazy and dumb by his peers and teachers. What made it sadder is the attitude of his father who is a demanding and authoritarian person. He is sent to boarding school by his parents when he failed in class 3rd and soon recognized as duffer and dumb by teachers and students there too. A little bit hope for Ishaan is felt only when he meets his art teacher Ram Shankar Nikumbh (Aamir Khan). It is interesting to see that how this teacher helps the child to recognize and remember the alphabets and numbers by using various methods. The subject is handled sensitively by Aamir Khan, who is both producer and director. In the film the specialness of Ishaan doesn't become a label: it just underlines the film's message, “every child is special”
The film is little slow in the begining but got full speed after the entry of Aamir Khan.The people who love children must see the movie and you would be taken away with Darsheel’s knock-out performance .
