The movie is about an 8 year old boy Ishaan Awasthi (Darsheel Safary)
who finds it difficult to match his world of colors, kites and animals
to that of the others in his age group, who are more into studies and
homework. When complaints start to pour in, Ishaan’s parents decide to
set him off to a boarding school. His life is no different at
the boarding school, oppressed and insulted by his teachers, he remains
the laugh stock of the class. Now that he is away from home, he feels
even more dejected, inferior and finds it tough to cope up with his
inabilities.
Ram Shankar Nikumbh (Aamir Khan) gets appointed as a temporary art
teacher of the boarding school. Unlike other teachers who follow
definite norms in educating children, Ram makes them think out of books,
outside the four walls of the classroom and paint their imaginations.
Every child in class responds with immense enthusiasm except Ishaan. Ram
takes effort to understand Ishaan and his problems. He makes Ishaan’s
parents and other teachers realize that he is not abnormal but a very
special child with talents of his own. With time, patience and care Ram
succeeds in boosting the confidence level of Ishaan. He helps Ishaan in
overcoming his inabilities and re-discover his lost confidence.
