No! I am not going to write another review on "Taare Zameen Par". There are enough written already and it has become a well established fact that Aamir has come out with of an excellent movie. Watched the movie in the cinemas and I have now become one among the 'many' who had moist eyes after the climax. I was literally crying when the boy got the prize. There are very few movies which have evoked such an emotional response from me and this one has a very special place among them.
Stories of men/women rising to their peak have always been inspirational. But what moved me most about the movie was not just how the boy rose from shambles, it was 'what an understanding teacher/parent could do to a child'. They can literally turn around the life of a child. In the current days where schooling has become very commercial, and the pressure on students to perform is very high, a film like this should definitely send a valuable point. Hope the parents and teachers take a lesson out of this movie and turn around the life of many children for the better! Let us not lose many such genius's due to lack of understanding.

Well said Thyagu. The movie left many in tears (not the producers) while coming out of the theatre.. a good portrayal of the plight of a differently abled small boy and how the society treats him without spending time on whats his problem is.. movies like this will definitely be an eye-opener for the parents/friends of such differently abled people... A good attempt by Aamir khan who has to be lauded on not selecting the much safer commercial venture as his directorial debut.
The change is already happening,Maharashtra govt has already initiated training for School teachers on how to handle Autism and other child related problems. Its been Aamir khan's courage to touch upon risky subjects (Laggan,TZP etc) and take it to the masses with well laid screen play. Both these movies are risky proposition for the producer as they are not conventional.
