The story of Taare Zameen Par revolves around an eight year old kid Ishaan Awasthi (Darsheel Safary) who suffers from dyslexia. The child is always in his dream world filled with colours, fishes, space ships and drawing them on canvas but least interested in numbers and alphabets. When things don’t seem to get better, he is packed off to a boarding school but things get too worse than before. The child goes into shell, keeps to himself and leaves painting his imaginations as he did earlier.
Adding to this is the trauma of being away from his family. The bonding between the son and his mother (Tisca Chopra) leaves you moist-eyed at several moments. Then, to help the child, a new arts teacher enters the boarding school, Ram Shankar Nikumbh (Aamir Khan). He provides wings to Ishaan’s imagination and helps him break out from his shell.
It is a movie that doesn’t merely entertain but also educates the audience about the learning disorder dyslexia. As Aamir discovers patterns in Ishaan’s book like mirror image writings, confusion between same sounding words, the viewers are also able to learn and connect with him.
The child, Ishaan is capable to hold on the audiences in the first half without the entry of Aamir Khan and also excels in the second half. At many places, the small kid leaves you spell bound with his natural acting skills and you can actually feel how the kid might be struggling every day. The child’s emotions are captured in beautiful way leaving tears in your eyes throughout.
At the end, Aamir Khan emerges as a true story-teller and deserves a merit to make the child perform in an impeccable manner. The compositions by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and soothing to your ears and accentuate the scenes. The lyric of the song Maa by Prasoon Joshi rightly explains the bond between the son and the mother. Also special note has to made of the visual effects and animations in the movie.
Watching the movie makes you feel nostalgic about our own school days. The movie has a message for all saying parents also pressurize their children to excel academically but parents should enhance the hidden potentials in their child.
Looking at the promos gives an impression that it is a kiddie movie but in the movie a grave problem is discussed in a spectacular manner. It is a movie to be watched along with your kids and it surely change the way you look at them!
