Line : The
movie is about an 8 year old boy Ishaan Awasthi (Darsheel
Safary) who finds it difficult to match his world of colors,
kites and animals to that of the others in his age group,
who are more into studies and homework. When complaints start
to pour in, Ishaan’s parents decide to set him off to a boarding
school. His life is no different at the boarding school, oppressed
and insulted by his teachers, he remains the laugh stock of
the class. Now that he is away from home, he feels even more
dejected, inferior and finds it tough to cope up with his
inabilities.
Ram Shankar Nikumbh (Aamir Khan) gets appointed
as a temporary art teacher of the boarding school. Unlike
other teachers who follow definite norms in educating children,
Ram makes them think out of books, outside the four walls
of the classroom and paint their imaginations. Every child
in class responds with immense enthusiasm except Ishaan. Ram
takes effort to understand Ishaan and his problems. He makes
Ishaan’s parents and other teachers realize that he is not
abnormal but a very special child with talents of his own.
With time, patience and care Ram succeeds in boosting the
confidence level of Ishaan. He helps Ishaan in overcoming
his inabilities and re-discover his lost confidence. |
