Taare Zameen Par is a story of this 8-9 year old boy who has a learning disability called dyslexia. He is just not able to decipher letters and words or numbers properly. I was amazed to learn so much about dyslexia from the film. One identifies with the character because somewhere each one of us had some form of weakness in us when we were children. Each one of us had at least one thing which we wanted to hide from the world. Aamir manages to treat the subject sensitively and with maturity.
Taare Zameen Pe is a film of and for children but more importantly it speaks to adults and parents who must see reason when dealing with their children's problems instead of spanking them or punishing them.
