its maybe a bit to long for its own good but it expertly sets up its two main leads.
aamir khan gives a great performance aswell as darsheel safary.
idk man, its all i could have wanted out of a film critiqueing schools and parents shortcomings when it comes to artistic things aswell as putting high expectations on children.
Like Stars on Earth
Every child is special.

Overview
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 don't seem important to the adults, who are much more interested in things like homework, marks, and neatness. Ishaan cannot seem to get anything right in class; he is then sent to boarding school, where his life changes forever.
