Contents.Plot Ishaan Awasthi is an eight-year-old boy who dislikes school, as he finds all the subjects difficult and is frequently belittled and berated by both his teachers and his classmates. His imagination, and talent for art are often disregarded or unnoticed. His father, Nandkishore Awasthi, is a successful executive who expects his children to excel, and his mother, Maya Awasthi, is a housewife frustrated by her inability to educate Ishaan. Ishaan's elder brother, Yohaan Awasthi, is an exemplary student and athlete whose merits Ishaan is often reminded of.After receiving a particularly poor academic report, Ishaan's father sends him to a. There he sinks into a state of fear, isolation and, despite being befriended by Rajan Damodharan, a boy who is one of the top students in the class. He even contemplates by climbing up the fence in a terrace, which Rajan manages to save him from.Ishaan's condition changes when a new art teacher, Ram Shankar Nikumbh, a cheerful and optimistic instructor at the Tulips School for young children with, joins the school.

Nikumbh's teaching style is markedly different from that of his strict predecessor, and he quickly observes Ishaan's unhappiness and impassive participation in-class activities. He reviews Ishaan's work and concludes that his academic shortcomings are indicative of, a condition suppressing his artistic capabilities. One day he sets off to Mumbai to visit Ishaan's parents where he is surprised to discover Ishaan's hidden interest in art after finding some of his drawings.

Upset, he asks Mr Awasthi why he sent the child to a boarding school in the first place and shows Mrs Awasthi her son's notebooks giving an analysis of his struggles. He explains how Ishaan has severe difficulty in understanding letters and words due to dyslexia even though Mr Awasthi, labelling it as mental retardation, dismisses it as a mere excuse for laziness. Frustrated by his crude and inaccurate explanation of Ishaan's condition, Nikumbh leaves and Mr Awasthi feels guilty for his mistreatment towards Ishaan.Nikumbh returns and subsequently brings up the topic of dyslexia in a class by offering a.

Afterwards, he comforts Ishaan by telling him how he struggled as a child as well by facing similar problems. Nikumbh then visits the school's principal and obtains his permission to become Ishaan's. With gradual care, he attempts to improve Ishaan's reading and writing by using developed by dyslexia specialists.

Ishaan soon develops an interest in his studies and eventually his grades improve.Towards the end of the school year, Nikumbh organises an art fair for the staff and students. The competition is judged by artist Lalita Lajmi. Ishaan, with his strikingly creative style, is declared the winner and Nikumbh, who paints Ishaan's portrait, is declared the runner-up. The principal announces that Nikumbh has been hired as the school's permanent art teacher. When Ishaan's parents meet his teachers on the last day of school they are left speechless by the transformation they see in him.

Overcome with emotion, Mr. Awasthi thanks Nikumbh.

As Ishaan gets into the car to leave with his parents for summer vacations, he turns around and runs toward Nikumbh, who gives him a hug and tells him to return next year.Cast. 's initial screentest lacked dialogue.

Gupte had several boys informally audition by explaining to him how they would react to scripted situations from the film.

It was her first appearance as an actor.Production Development The husband and wife team of and Deepa Bhatia developed the story that would eventually become Taare Zameen Par as a way of understanding why some children cannot conform to a conventional educational system. Their initial work began as a short story that evolved into a screenplay over seven years. Deepa Bhatia later stated in an interview with that her original inspiration was not dyslexia but rather the childhood of Japanese filmmaker, who performed poorly in school. Her goal was thus to explore the story of 'a child who did not fit into the school stream.' She referenced a specific moment in Kurosawa's biography where he began to excel after meeting an attentive art teacher, and noted that this scene 'became the inspiration for how a teacher could transform the life of a student'.In developing the character of a young boy based on Kurosawa, Bhatia and Gupte explored some possible reasons why he failed in school.

Their research led them to groups such as the Maharashtra Dyslexia Association and Parents for a Better Curriculum for the Child (PACE). Dyslexia eventually became the central topic and theme of the film. The pair worked with dyslexic children to research and develop the screenplay, basing characters and situations on their observations. Bhatia and Gupte carefully concealed the children's identities in the final version of the script.

'While Amole has written what I think is a brilliant and moving script, his contribution towards the film is not limited to that of a writer. The entire pre-production was done by him including the most important task of creating the music.

He has been present on set throughout the shooting as the Creative Director, and has been a big support and strong guiding force in my debut as a director. I thank him for that, and more so for having the faith in me by entrusting to me something that is so close to him.' — Aamir KhanKhan and Gupte first met in college. Khan has said that he admired Gupte's abilities as an actor, writer, and painter.

Three years before the film's release Gupte brought Khan to the project as a producer and actor. Gupte himself was to direct, but the first week's were a great disappointment to Khan, who 'lost faith in Amol and his capability of translating on screen what he had so beautifully written on paper'.

Khan was on the verge of withdrawing his participation in the film because of these 'creative differences', but Gupte kept him onboard by stepping down as director. Contrary to Khan's claim, Gupte lashed out saying that after the wrap-up party, Khan announced that he was the director of the film, despite Gupte acting as director. Had it been necessary to hire a third party, production would have been postponed for 6–8 months as the new director prepared for the film.

Keen to keep Safary as Ishaan—the actor might have aged too much for the part had production been delayed—Khan took over the role of director. Taare Zameen Par was Khan's first experience in the dual role of actor and director. He has admitted that the transition was challenging, stating that while he had always wanted to direct a film, it was unknown territory for him.

Gupte remained on set, 'guiding Khan and, at times, even correcting him'. Title and translation Initially, the film was to retain the short story's title of 'High Jump', because of Ishaan's inability to achieve the in gym class. This subplot, which was filmed but later cut, would have tied into the original ending for the movie. In this planned ending, a 'ghost image' separates from Ishaan after the art competition and runs to the sports field; the film would end on a freeze frame of Ishaan's 'ghost image' successfully making the leap. Aamir Khan, however, disliked this proposed ending and convinced Gupte to rewrite it.With the working title no longer relevant, Khan, Gupte, and Bhatia discussed several alternatives, eventually deciding on Taare Zameen Par. Possible translations of this title include Stars on the Ground and Stars on Earth. According to Khan:Taare Zameen Par is a film about children and it is a film which celebrates the abilities of children.

Taare Zameen Par is a title which denotes that aspect. It is a title with a very positive feel to it. All the kids are special and wonderful.

They are like stars on earth. This particular aspect gave birth to the title. Filming Principal photography for the film took place in India over five months. Khan spent his first two days as director the first scene to be filmed—Ishaan returning home from school and putting away his recently collected fish—and becoming comfortable with his new responsibilities.

Believing that the audience should not be aware of the camera, he chose a simple shooting style for the film that involved relatively little.At the same time, Khan also made use of illusory camera tricks. For example, the opening scene of Ishaan collecting fish outside his school was shot on location and at. Shots focusing on Ishaan took place at the former, while those involving the gutter were filmed at a water tank at the latter. The tank's water often became murky because the mud would rise to the top, forcing production to constantly empty and refill it. Due to this hindrance, the scene took eight hours to film. The film's next sequence involved Ishaan playing with two dogs. To compensate for the 'absolutely petrified' Safary, most joint shots used a body double, though other portions integrated close-up shots of the actor.

Ishaan's nightmare—he becomes separated from his mother at a train station and she departs on a train while he is trapped in a crowd—was filmed in Mumbai on a permanent railway-station set. To work around the train set piece's immobility, production placed the camera on a moving trolley to create the illusion of a departing train. For the sequences related from the mother's point of view—shot from behind the actress—Chopra stood on a trolley next to a recreated section of the train's door.All the school sequences were filmed on location. The production team searched for a Mumbai school with an 'oppressive' feel to establish the 'heaviness of being in a metropolitan school', and eventually chose. As the school is situated along a main road filming took place on weekends, to minimise the background noise, but an early scene in which Ishaan is sent out of the classroom was filmed on the day of the. The production staff placed acrylic sheets invisible to the naked eye on the classroom windows to mask the sounds of nearby crowds and helicopters. Served as Ishaan's boarding school.

The change of setting was a 'breath of fresh air' for the production crew, who moved from Ishaan's small house in Mysore Colony, to the 'vast, beautiful environs' of.Production relied on for the brief scene of a bird feeding its babies. Khan carefully selected a clip to his liking, but learned three weeks before the film's release that the footage was not available in the proper format. With three days to replace it or else risk delaying the release, Khan made do with what he could find. He says that he 'cringes' every time he sees it. Children Real schoolchildren participated throughout the movie's filming. Khan credited them with the film's success, and was reportedly very popular with them.

Furthermore, Khan placed a high priority on the day-to-day needs of his child actors, and went to great lengths to attend to them. The production staff made sure that the students were never idle, and always kept them occupied outside of filming. New Era Faculty Coordinator Douglas Lee thought the experience not only helped the children to learn patience and co-operation, but also gave them a better understanding of how they should behave towards children like Ishaan who have problems in school. Because filming at New Era High School occurred during the winter holiday, those portraying Ishaan's classmates gave up their vacation to participate.

To fill in the campus background, students from nearby schools were also brought in. A total of 1,500 children were used for wide-shots of the film's art-fair climax; medium shots only required 400 students.New to acting, the children often made errors such as staring into the camera, and Khan resorted to unorthodox methods to work around their rookie mistakes. For example, an early scene in the film featured a school assembly; Khan wanted the students to act naturally and to ignore the principal's speech, but recognised that this would be a difficult feat with cameras present. First Assistant Director Sunil Pandey spoke continuously in an attempt to 'bore the hell out of them', and they eventually lost interest in the filming and behaved normally. A later scene involved Nikumbh enlightening his class about famous people who suffer from dyslexia, and the children's responses to his speech were the last portion to be filmed. Having already spent 3–4 days hearing the dialogue the children's reactions were 'jaded'. Khan opted to film them while he recited a tale, and manipulated his storytelling to achieve the varying spontaneous reactions.

The following scene had the children playing around a nearby pond. Horrified when he learned that the water was 15 feet (4.6 m) deep, Khan recruited four lifeguards in case a child fell in.Khan found it important that the audience connect the film to real children, and had Pandey travel throughout India filming documentary-style footage of children from all walks of life. Those visuals were integrated into the end credits.

Art and animation While has been used in Indian television commercials, the film's title sequence—a representation of Ishaan's imagination —marked its first instance in a Bollywood film. Khan gave claymation artist Dhimant Vyas free rein over the various elements. The storyboarding took one and a half months and the shooting required 15 days. The '3 into 9' sequence, in which Ishaan delves into his imagination to solve a math problem, was originally conceived as a 3D animation. Halfway through its creation, however, Khan felt it was not turning out as he had envisioned it.

Khan scrapped the project and hired Vaibhav Kumaresh, who hand-drew the scene as a 2D animation.Artist composed Ishaan and Nikumbh's art-fair watercolour paintings. He held a workshop with the schoolchildren, and incorporated elements from their artwork into Ishaan's. Mondal also instructed Khan on a painter's typical mannerisms and movements. Gupte created the rest of Ishaan's artwork and Assistant Art Director Veer Nanavati drew Ishaan's flipbook.

The art department's designs for Ishaan's school notebooks disappointed Khan, who had familiarised himself with dyslexic writing. Using his left hand, Khan instead wrote it himself. Musical sequences The musical sequence of 'Jame Raho' establishes the characters of the four members of Ishaan's family; for example, the father is hardworking and responsible, and Yohaan is an 'ideal son' who does all the right things. A robotic style of music overlaps most of the sequence—this is mirrored by the machine-like morning routines of the mother, father, and Yohaan—but changes for Ishaan's portion to imply that he is different from the rest.

This concept is furthered by and having the camera sway with the music to create a distinct style. The twilight scenes of 'Maa' were a particular issue for the production crew.

Because the specific lighting only lasted ten to fifteen minutes a day, the scenes took nearly ten evenings to film. Production at one time considered having a child singing, but ultimately deemed it too over the top and felt it would connect to more people if sung by an adult. Shankar initially performed the song as a sample—they planned to replace him with another singer—but production eventually decided that his rendition was best. The trio of (right), (middle), and (left) composed most of the film's music.Ishaan's truancy scene—he leaves school one day after realising that his mother has not signed his failed math test—originally coincided with the song 'Kholo Kholo,' but Khan did not believe it worked well for the situation. In his opinion, the accompanying song should focus on what a child wants—to be free—and be told from the first-person perspective instead of 'Kholo Kholo 's second person. When Khan took over as director, he opted to use 'Mera Jahan'—a song written by Gupte—and moved 'Kholo Kholo' to the art fair. Viewers of test screenings were divided over the truancy scene.

Half thoroughly enjoyed it but the rest complained that it was too long, did not make sense, and merely showed 'touristy' visuals of Mumbai. Khan nevertheless kept the scene, because he 'connected deeply' with it and felt that it established Ishaan's world.choreographed the dance sequence of 'Bum Bum Bole,' and was given free rein over its design.

He had intended to use 40 students from his dance school, but Khan did not want trained dancers. Davar gave the children certain cues and a general idea of what to do, but left the style and final product up to them to avoid a choreographed appearance. Time constraints meant that while Khan was busy filming 'Bum Bum Bole,' took over as director for 'Bheja Kum'.

The latter sequence, containing a 'fun-filled' song of rhythmic dialogue, allowed the audience to perceive how Ishaan sees the world and written languages. It was intended to represent 'a young boy's worst nightmare, in terms of. The worst thing that he can think of'; Madhvani based the visual concept on his son's fear of 'creepy-crawlies' such as cockroaches, dragonflies, and lizards. 's made the creatures out of the English alphabet and numbers, although Khan insisted they include the Hindi alphabet as not all the audience would be familiar with English.

The chalkboard writing's transformation into a snake was included to surprise the audience and 'end the song on a high note.' In writing the song 'Taare Zameen Par,' lyricist followed the theme of 'however much you talk about children, it's not enough.' Every line throughout the song describes children, and only one repeats: 'Kho Naa Jaaye Yeh / Taare Zameen Par' ('Let us not lose these / Little stars on earth'). The song is mostly set to the annual day performance by the developmentally disabled children of Tulips School. Actual students from Tulips School and Saraswati Mandir participated, and were filmed over a period of five days. The sequence originally featured numerous dance performances, but was trimmed down when test audiences found it too long.

A song accompanying the scene in which Ishaan's mother is watching home videos of her son was also cut, and replaced with background music after test audiences expressed their opposition to yet another song. Background music 'It is easier when you have to create a song like 'Move Your Body' in. There you can add a lot of nonsense in the recording studio. On the other hand, something like Taare Zameen Par requires melody to hold center stage. There is a different level of energy that you have to bring in composing for such different soundtrack as we had to be subdued yet effective in Taare Zameen Par.' — Shankar MahadevanTiming and other aspects are usually planned when scoring a film, but Khan chose to take a more improvised approach. Instead of using a studio, he and the trio recorded it at Khan's home in Panchgani, to clear their heads and not be in the mindset of the city.

As they watched the film, Khan pointed out when he wanted music to begin and of what type. Ehsaan Noorani noted that this strategy allowed the score to have a 'spontaneity to it.' Different styles of background music were used to convey certain things. For example, a guitar is played when Ishaan is tense or upset, sometimes with discordant notes.

The music of the opening scene—the recurring 'Ishaan's Theme,' which represents the character's peace of mind—overpowers the background noise to show that Ishaan is lost in his own world; the noise becomes louder after he snaps back to reality. But the scene in which Nikumbh explains dyslexia to Ishaan's family took the opposite approach. Silent at first, the music is slowly introduced as the father begins to understand his son's dilemma. The almost seven-minute long scene scarcely used any background music, to slow the pace and make it seem more realistic. Release Box office Taare Zameen Par was released worldwide on 14 December 2007, although countries such as Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand, and Fiji opened it on 20 December. It debuted in India with 425 prints, although revenue-sharing issues between the film's distributors and theatre owners caused some slight delays.

Reports regarding the film's worldwide gross have conflicted, with sources citing ₹889.7 million (US$13 million), ₹1.07 billion (US$15 million), ₹1.31 billion (US$19 million), and ₹1.35 billion (US$20 million). Protests in Gujarat In response to Khan's support for the and his criticism of Chief Minister, approximately 50 activists of the Group conducted protests outside of PVR and theatres in,. The group also issued statements to all the multiplexes of Gujarat, suggesting that the film not be screened unless Khan apologised for his comments.

The INOX cinema eventually boycotted the film; INOX Operations Manager Pushpendra Singh Rathod stated that 'INOX is with Gujarat, and not isolated from it'. International Dyslexia Association The screened Taare Zameen Par on 29 October 2008 in. Khan noted in his official blog that there were about 200 people in the audience and that he was 'curious to see the response of a non-Indian audience to what we had made.' He felt some concern that Taare Zameen Par was shown in a conference room rather than a cinema hall and was projected as a DVD rather than as a film.

He said that the showing concluded to an 'absolutely thunderous standing ovation' which 'overwhelmed' him and that he 'saw the tears streaming down the cheeks of the audience.' Khan also noted that the reaction to the film 'was exactly as it had been with audiences back home in India'.

Reception Critical response. Critics praised for his directorial debut, which garnered him many awards.Taare Zameen Par received critical acclaim from critics. On website, the film received an of 90% based on 10 reviews, with an of 7/10.

Suggests that the film is 'a work of art, a water painting where the colors drip into our hearts, which could easily have fallen into the motions of over-sentimentality. Aamir Khan holds back where he could easily resort to an extravagant display of drama and emotions.' Of argued that the true power of the film lies in its 'remarkable, rooted, rock-solid script which provides the landscape for such an emotionally engaging, heart-warming experience.' Manish Gajjar from the stated that the film 'touches your heart and moves you deeply with its sterling performances. It is a film full of substance!' Jaspreet Pandohar, also of BBC, posited that Taare Zameen Par is a 'far cry from the formulaic masala flicks churned out by the Bollywood machine,' and is 'an inspirational story that is as emotive as it is entertaining; this is a little twinkling star of a movie.'

Furthermore, Aprajita Anil of gave the film four stars and stated, ' Taare Zameen Par cannot be missed. Because it is different. Because it is delightful. Because it would make everyone think. Because it would help everyone grow.

Because very rarely do performances get so gripping. And of course because the 'perfectionist' actor has shaped into a 'perfectionist' director.' In addition, filmmaker stated that, ' Taare Zameen Par took me back to my hostel days. If you take away the dyslexia, it seems like my story. The film affected me so deeply that I was almost left speechless.

After watching the film, I was asked how I liked Taare Zameen Par. I could not talk as I was deeply overwhelmed.' However, there were some criticisms. Jha's only objection to the film was Nikumbh's 'sanctimonious lecture' to Ishaan's 'rather theatrically-played' father. Jha found this a jarring 'deviation from the delectable delicacy' of the film's tone. Although she applauded the film overall and recommended 'a mandatory viewing for all schools and all parents', of The believed the second half was 'a bit repetitive,' the script needed 'taut editing,' and Ishaan's trauma 'seemed a shade too prolonged and the treatment simplistic.' Despite commending the 'great performances' and excellent directing, Gautaman Bhaskaran of, too, suggested that the movie 'suffers from a weak script.'

Likewise, Derek Kelly of criticised it for what he described as its 'touchy-feely-ness' attention to 'a kid's plight.' Kelly also disliked the film for being 'so resolutely caring. And devoid of real drama and interesting characters' that 'it should have 'approved by the Dyslexia Assn.'

Stamped on the posters.' Scholarly response In his article ' Taare Zameen Par and dyslexic savants' featured in the Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology, Ambar Chakravarty noted the general accuracy of Ishaan's dyslexia. Though Chakravarty was puzzled by Ishaan's trouble in simple arithmetic—a trait of rather than dyslexia—he reasoned it was meant to 'enhance the image of Ishaan's helplessness and disability'.

Labeling Ishaan an example of 'dyslexic savant syndrome', he especially praised the growth of Ishaan's artistic talents after receiving help and support from Nikumbh, and deemed it the 'most important (and joyous) neurocognitive phenomenon' of the film. This improvement highlights cosmetic neurology, a 'major and therapeutically important issue' in and.Likewise, in their article 'Wake up call from 'Stars on the Ground' for the Indian Journal of Psychiatry, T. Sathyanarayana Rao and V.

Krishna wrote that the film 'deserves to be vastly appreciated as an earnest endeavor to portray with sensitivity and empathetically diagnose a malady in human life'. They also felt it blended 'modern professional knowledge' with a 'humane approach' in working with a dyslexic child. However, the authors believed the film expands beyond disabilities and explores the 'present age where everyone is in a restless hurry'. The pair wrote, 'This film raises serious questions on mental health perspectives.

We seem to be heading to a state of mass scale mindlessness even as children are being pushed to 'perform'. Are we seriously getting engrossed in the race of 'achievement' and blissfully becoming numb to the crux of life i.e., experiencing meaningful living in a broader frame rather than merely existing?' The film depicts how 'threats and coercion are not capable of unearthing rich human potentialities deeply embedded in children', and that teachers should instead map their strengths and weakness. With this in mind, the author felt that Khan 'dexterously drives home the precise point that our first priority ought to be getting to know the child before making any efforts to fill them with knowledge and abilities'. Overall, the pair found a 'naive oversimplification' in the film.

With India 'only recently waking to recognizing the reality and tragedy of learning disability', however, they 'easily forgave the film's fault under artistic license'. Public response The film raised awareness of the issue of dyslexia, and prompted more open discussions among parents, schools, activists, and policymakers.Anjuli Bawa, a parent-activist and founder of Action Dyslexia Delhi, said that the number of parents who visit her office increased tenfold in the months following the film's release. Many began taking a more proactive approach by contacting her after noticing problems, rather than using her as a last resort. Gupte himself received 'many painful letters and phone calls' from Indian parents. He noted, 'Fathers weep on the phone and say they saw the film and realized that they have been wrong in the way they treated their children.

This is catharsis.' These reactions have also brought about a change in policies. The film, only ten days after its debut, influenced the to provide extra time to special children—including the visually impaired, physically challenged and dyslexic—during exams. In 2008, Mumbai's civic body also opened 12 classrooms for autistic students. In, the education administration started a course to educate teachers on how to deal with children with learning disabilities.The film has had a similarly positive response in, where the film was not officially released yet has a large online cult following due to Aamir Khan's popularity in the region after the success of (2009).

The film has been well received by Chinese audiences for how it tackles issues such as education and dyslexia, and is one of the highest-rated films on popular Chinese film site, along with two other Aamir Khan films, 3 Idiots and (2016).

Speculation for the reasons behind Taare Zameen Par 's failed bid included 's Arthur J.

Pai's observation that it lacked mainstream media attention; AMPAS jury member Krishna Shah criticised its length and abundance of songs. 'Three days before hit theaters in the U.S. And India, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced its shortlist of nine films edging closer to a foreign-language nomination. India's submission, the powerful and moving Taare Zameen Par by Aamir Khan, didn't make the cut. Sadly, that film never will be seen by mainstream American audiences; yet Chandni Chowk is enjoying a hefty publicity push.

If only Taare Zameen Par could have gotten its hands on that magic potato.' — American film critic Lisa Tsering in.Khan claimed that he was 'not surprised' that Taare Zameen Par was not included in the Academy Award shortlist, and argued, 'I don’t make films for awards.

I make films for the audience. The audience, for which I have made the film, really loved it and the audiences outside India have also loved it. What I am trying to say is that film has been well loved across the globe and that for me it is extremely heartening and something that I give very high value to.'

The Indian news media also frequently compared Taare Zameen Par's nomination failure with the British film 's multiple Academy Award nominations and wins, and noted that other Indian films in the past were overlooked. Film critic argued that it is difficult to compare the two films and noted that Slumdog Millionaire was being marketed in a way that Indian films such as Taare Zameen Par could not compete with. In this context, Slumdog Millionaire actor stated, 'I’m sad that Aamir’s Taare Zameen Par didn’t make it to the final round of the Oscars. I thought it to be way better than Slumdog Millionaire., without taking away anything from Boyle and the kids. But, Indian movies are underestimated there.' Home media released the film on DVD in India on 25 July 2008. It was launched at Darsheel Safary's school, in Mumbai.

 June 8, 2015Ratings: 8.5/10Released On: 21 December 2007Genre(s): Drama, Family, MusicDirected By: Aamir Khan, Amole GupteMovie Star Cast: Darsheel Safary, Aamir Khan, Tanay ChhedaSynopsis: Ishaan 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.
