    Another IMDB 250 film that probably wouldn't be there if it weren't for the Indian support. It's a well purposed in showing how dyslexia is a condition that needs to be understood before condemning children for not being able to be good students. This positive take on the story showed a different side of India that I have not come across and for the it was good, but the bollywood approach undermined its credibility with me for its melodrama and cheese. Saw on youtube.

    This movie was very boring, the message of the movie is very important but they didn't know how to handle it well and it becomes very boring (especially for a movie of almost 3 hours), and also without mentioning that the performances do not reflect absolutely anything and the songs were handled in a very strange way... and the melodies are somewhat strange.

    Like Stars On Earth is a very touching film about one of the most vulnerable and underrepresented groups: children with learning disabilities. In a modern world where everyone is expected to compete in society, neither family nor the school system is equipped to deal with those who fall behind. They would be treated as lazy and irresponsible, and their needs wouldn't be recognized. One of the things the film does well is showing us in detail the world Ishaan (Darsheel Safary) comes from, being the second kid of a working-class family, with a brother that excels at everything — being this the metric his parents use to measure Ishaan's success — further complicates things. Then there is the school system. With overcrowded classrooms and underprepared teachers, there is just so much to be done. Verbal abuse — and later on, physical abuse — are the only techniques they know. The film calls us to reflect further on the issue. We all know how Ishaan's story ends, but what about the thousands of other children who are trapped in the same school system the film tries to criticize?

    Emotional Indian Masala Movie. Parents never understand kids. Full of overacting. Indian teaching is archaic and will always remain archaic. That's why India will continue to be a third world forever. Intense Bollywood drama where parents and kids often clash. It's marked by mockery of theatrical performance. Some believe the Indian education system needs updating. This has led to concerns about India's future development.

    I can't explain the emotions and spirituality 'Taare Zameen Par' hits me with. I cry like a baby every time I watch it, but it fills me with great enthusiasm so no worries for those tears. It is just like watching it the first time even if I would be watching it the 1000th time. I love the casting, songs, and the splendid plot of this movie of course. The chemistry between a student and a teacher is hard to find in schools. A teacher who encourages and actually invests his everything in the betterment of his students is what every student needs. It depends on student to student how much a student is in need of it. This is a very beautiful movie that inspires every growing child to not lose hope. This is one of your masterpieces that has won many hearts.

    Another awful Bollywood film. This one could be wrapped up in an hour but instead we're compelled to listen to cheesy songs and corny plot fillers. The kid was clearly autistic, rather than dyslexic. Also, the film claims all kids are special but it focuses on a 0.1 percentile child genius and references to Einstein, Da Vinci and Edison to prove the point. It basically draws the opposite conclusions to what it apparently seeks to achieve. Terrible film in every way.
