Taare Zameen Par: Stars on Earth


Taare Zameen Par (Stars on Earth) is Aamir Khan’s gift to every child with a powerful message film for parents and a compassionate look at special children like dyslexics. This is a beautiful movie sensibly made to appeal to all sorts of audience across all strata of society.

It touches a chord in your heart and connects with everybody. No one is left out. It does not matter if you are a parent, uncle, aunt, teacher, brother or sister. It’s sure to move you.

The story revolves around a bubbly eight-year-old who sees a different world, 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 and always getting into fights and faring badly in school. He has gone from bad to worse, but no one seems to know the reason for his dilemma. The truth is he is dyslexic. In short, he has a learning disorder marked by impairment of the ability to recognize and comprehend written words.

It’s the teacher of the school played by Aamir Khan who understands the plight, that’s because he too was once dyslexic and now teaches in that school for the differently-abled. Unlike other teachers who follow definite norms in educating children, he makes them think out of books, outside the four walls of the classroom and paint their imaginations. He takes effort to understand the kid and his problems. He makes everyone realize that he is not abnormal but a very special child with talents of his own.

With time, patience and care he succeeds in boosting the confidence level of the kid by helping him overcoming his inabilities and re-discover his lost confidence. A scene where the boy wins the drawing competition and where he reluctantly comes ahead to receive his prize in front of the whole school will leave you moist-eyed.

The film not just succeeded in making every child a hero but actually helped us see a child in ourselves. Just like no man is perfect no matter what position he commands in the society, every child with both their ability and inabilities is special and talented in their own way.

In a nutshell, Taare Zameen Par serves as a wake up call for every parent or parent-to-be. The film has a strong message to all those parents who are always in competition looking for a winner and to all teachers, to make education a fun process rather than a boring exercise where a student is burdened with the expectations of getting good grades.

The film changes our world and also change the way we look at our kids! The movie isn’t just about a child suffering from dyslexia and his challenges, it’s also about how parents get carried away by today’s competitive world and fail to understand their child’s dreams and nurture their inborn talents.
