That movie sounds beautiful. Your review makes me feel like I’ve already seen it. I got wrapped up with the boy as soon as you began to tell his story and was so happy when you said he met a teacher! Also, I’m a fan of Aamir Khan. 🙂

I checked and it’s not in the Netflix online video streaming, so I have to see if I can find it elsewhere on the Internet.

Indeed it is a great movie as it conveys a great message.

Yes, it is a good movie that I have seen once in my life. What I learn from the movie I describe in simple words for my readers sake so that they could read its summery.

shaan Awasthi is an eight-year-old whose world is filled with wonders that no one else seems to appreciate; colours, fish, dogs and kites are just not important in the world of adults, who are much more interested in things like homework, marks and neatness. And Ishaan just cannot seem to get anything right in class.

When he gets into far more trouble than his parents can handle, he is packed off to a boarding school to ‘be disciplined’. Things are no different at his new school, and Ishaan has to contend with the added trauma of separation from his family. One day a new art teacher bursts onto the scene, Ram Shankar Nikumbh, who infects the students with joy and optimism.

He breaks all the rules of ‘how things are done’ by asking them to think, dream and imagine, and all the children respond with enthusiasm, all except Ishaan. Nikumbh soon realizes that Ishaan is very unhappy, and he sets out to discover why. With time, patience and care, he ultimately helps Ishaan find himself.
