There has always been lots of critical talk about the Indian education system. However, more than the studies being exhaustive, it's the pressure to 'perform well', as the author says, that makes our education system look so impossible. Aamir Khan has done well to point out how society and family play on the mind of growing children. We expect too much out of ourselves in trying to keep up with this so-called 'mad race', and don't even take time out to lend a helping hand to or flash a comforting smile at someone in need. I think if really, as the author mentions, Aamir Khan has managed to make people see an Ishaan Awasthi in their own selves, this movie has done what it was meant to. The direction and dialogues are excellent; lets hope Indians slow down a little, take a deep breath, and love their kids for who they are. Every child is not born a prodigy, every child has not a normal life..but yes, if we just try to discern the thought process of our kids, we'll form a better nation that would agree with Aamir Khan when he says "Every child is special". As Jyoti has said, "love is the foudation of life".

THE MOVIE IS NO DOUBT MOVING.........IT IS AWAY FROM LEAGUE.......WHAT I EXPECTED MORE WAS FEW MORE ELEMENTS WHICH COULD ACTUALLY SHATTER THE CONVENTIONAL MINDSET OF PARENTS ...........maxixmum talent is found in middle class famly only..... and if ESSENTIALLY MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING AND RESPECT between parents and kids can do wonders....'It's just not love a child needs parants need to evoke the spirit in their kids .........Well done....LOVE IS FOUNDATION OF LIFE....

excellent review
