While-writing:

Here is a film directed by Aamir Khan in 2007.Read the description of the film and decide on
its topic.

Ishaan Awasthi is an eight-year-old whose world is filled with wonders that

no one else seems to appreciate; colours, fish, dogs and kites are just not
important in the world of adults, who are much more interested in things
like homework, marks and neatness. And Ishaan just cannot seem to get
anything right in class. When he gets into far more trouble than his parents
can handle, he is packed off to a boarding school to 'be disciplined'. Things
are no different at his new school, and Ishaan has to contend with the
added trauma of separation from his family. One day a new art teacher
bursts onto the scene, Ram Shankar Nikumbh, who infects the students
with joy and optimism. He breaks all the rules of 'how things are done' by
asking them to think, dream and imagine, and all the children respond with
enthusiasm, all except Ishaan. Nikumbh soon realizes that Ishaan is very
unhappy until the art teacher has the patience and compassion to
discover the real problem behind his struggles in school.
