Taare Zameen Par
I don't usually watch hindi movies, let alone blog about them, but this one is unique. Taare Zameen Par, which translates to "stars on the ground" is a story about a slow learner, a dyslexic child, living in modern India. Actor/director Aamir Khan nicely portrays the web of ignorance around the mainstream Indian parents and their obsession with "toppers" and high scorers and the Indian education system, which strives to satisfy this obsession by way of rote and punishment. Caught in this web is a child who can't seem to understand why he can't fit in. Catch this movie if you can, you won't regret it.
