Taare Zameen Par (2007) was a movie that made a special place in my heart as it was released when we were coming to terms and accepting our daughter’s condition. Even today couple of songs make me cry, while each dialogue of Aamir Khan as Ram Shankar Nikumbh screams truth and reality and facts.
This 2007 movie is about a child Ishaan lovingly called Inu, who is suffering from a condition called Dyslexia but his parents and teachers label him as ‘lazy and careless’ as they are unable to understand his condition. It’s a common notion that ‘such’ kids can be reformed by severe beating/scolding or by being strict. Why doesn’t anyone understand not every child wants to be a doctor or engineer? Each child has a different capacity. Just like all fingers in our hands are not the same and equal similarly it is not necessary that both the kids of the same parents have to be equal in academics. When will Indian parents stop comparing one child’s achievements with the other and vice versa?
Some of the dialogues are hard-hitting and also heart-touching like the ones below.
And this song breaks me down completely even today amongst other songs of the movie.
