Amir Khan's film
Citing the slogan "every child is special", the film "Tare zameen par" underlines importance of child grooming for future, and understanding their world. It was the Bollywood superstar Amir Khan's first endeavour to promote himself as director. The film embodied one of the underlying mental problems of a child which the parents found difficult to realise, because of having stereotyped ideas about child rearing.
Amir was remarkable. However, the unique representation of the film was about a child, who had been suffering from dyslexia without his parents realising. It's a slight disorder of the brain that causes difficulty in reading and spelling, but does not affect intelligence. Consequently, he was subject to derision by his teachers and parents for getting his spelling wrong and forgetting homework. As a result, he was about to succumb to competitive modern life in which nobody approached him. At this juncture, the emergence of an unconventional art teacher in his school helped him come out of the predicament.
It's really a great film.
