The story is about a child, Ishaan, who suffers dyslexia . But he suffers a lot because no one around him recognizes that he is a slow learner. He is a good painter but his parents are always thinking about his marks. One day he bunks school and gets his brother to sign the leave note. but parents somehow come to know and he is taken to task by his father. They move him to a boarding school so that he learns discipline. A very emotional scene ensues.
In boarding school also its no different for ishant. He is labelled idiot, crazy, duffer and all sort of things. all students , except his friend rajan, make fun of him. Then comes a new art teacher, Ram Shankar Nikumbh, played by Aamir khan. He understands the symptoms shown by Ishant and also goes to his home to know more. As he too was a Dyslexic he helps Ishant overcome his troubles like making him understand letters, shapes etc. Finally Ishant is able to overcome his problems . he wins a painting competition organized by Ram and also does well in academics. His parents are surprised when they came to collect his repost card.
The film is excellent according to me. How can u not love a film which is made with so much compassion.An issue based movieis hardly made in India and Aamir Khan has broken all the norms by deciding tomake his directorial debut with such a drastically different film and kudos to him and his creative team of writers. The Scenes are excellently taken for example the starting scene in which Ishant is picking fishes from the gutter, the sequence in which he bunks class,the scene in which his parents leave him in boarding school and many more to say about.
Overall 'll give it 9.5 out of 10. The songs are narrative( well placed and have a meaning in the movie) and the the lyrics have meanings. Music is good. A must watch and for me one of the movies of 2007 along with Chake De India!!!
