A mandatory movie for all parents, future presents and teachers. An extremely talented actor - Dalsheer. You don't realize that he's acting!
However, at least give credit to the author where you get the story from. The story of the movie "Taare Zameen Par" seems plagiarized from the book "Thank you Mr. Falker" by Patricia Polacco.
The movie has a slight variation: instead of a girl, there's a boy. Even scenes like writing on the sand, mirror images are from the book.
For those who haven't read the book you can read more at the author's website:

Here's what the author has to say:
"I did not learn how to read until I was almost 14 years old. Can you imagine what it was like to see all my friends do so well in school and I wasn't! I thought I was dumb. I didn't like school because there was this boy that always teased me and made me feel even dumber.
When I was fourteen, it was learned that I have a learning disability. It is called dyslexia. I felt trapped in a body that wouldn't do what everybody else could do. That was when one of my hero's, my teacher, found what was wrong with me and got me the help I needed to succeed in school.
Of course , now that I am an adult, I realize that being learning disabled does not mean DUMB AT ALL! As a matter of fact, I have learned that being learning disabled only means that I cannot learn the way most of you do. As a matter of fact most learning disabled children are actually GENIUSES! once I learned how to read and caught up with the rest of my fellow students, I did very well."
