Ishaan Awasthi is an eight-year-old whose world is filled with wonders that no one else seems to appreciate. Colours, fish, dogs, and kites don't seem important to the adults, who are much more interested in things like homework, marks, and neatness. Ishaan cannot seem to get anything right in class; he is then sent to boarding school, where his life changes forever.

Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!
GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.
Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
takasaku Wow, I will watch this good movie with my kids in the future! Without someone who understands them, children's minds will be lonely and poor. Rich household and enough education does not always grow kids properly. They need endless love and it is definitely much effective than punishment or pressure.
alphaphilipp This was the first but also the best Indian movie I watched. I rewatched it again weeks ago and it never fails to make me laugh, cry and be inspired in the end.It has a great message to convey. I also admire Aamir Khan because he is the director, producer and an actor in it too. He is my favorite Indian actor.Though only a movie, it is very much connected to reality. If ever I have children, I will let them watch it too hehe. ^.^
gregtpalmer In the true spirit of Aamir Khan, this film captures the victory of heart over cold tradition and gives the true hero of the story his day in the sun. While heartbreaking at times, the ending is everything we hoped for. Give it a watch, you wont be disappointed. And as for the music number? It doesn't add anything but doesn't take away from the film either.
Randi Good movie and I strongly recommend to see, but be forewarned that you will have to watch a child be severely emotionally abused for what feels like an hour. You will cry so have a box of tissue ready. However, it leaves a lasting impression, truly teaching and creating awareness regarding the behaviors, sufferings and intelligence of children with dyslexia. It's nice, for a change, to have an inspiring example of someone (the art teacher) who not only cares but takes action to help. This movie will surely influence change in society. I give it 8 rather than 10 because it was a bit overdone, contrived.
