1.0 INTRODUCTION
This assignment is about the analysis of the communication strategies used in
communicating certain messages in the content of films or movies to the viewers or public.
The film that has been chosen by the researchers to be investigated in this assignment is the
movie titled Taare Zameen Par, also known as Like Stars on Earth which is the title that is
being used internationally. In this assignment, the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the
communication strategies that have been used by the director in this movie in order to convey
messages to the public will be discussed and analysed.

Aamir Khan produced and directed Taare Zameen Par, a 2007 Indian Hindi-language
social drama film. This film was about the dyslexia disease. The film featured Aamir Khan,
Darsheel Safary, Tanay Chheda, Sachet Engineer, Vipin Sharma, and Tisca Chopra in lead
parts. The film's writer, Amole Gupte, came up with the idea with his wife, Deepa Bhatia,
who also served as the editor. Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy composed the film's score, and Prasoon
Joshi wrote the lyrics for several of the songs. The film was shot primarily in Mumbai and at
Panchgani's New Era High School, where some of the students appear in the film.

The film aired in Indian theatres on December 21, 2007, and UTV Home
Entertainment published a DVD for Indian consumers in 2008. Disney's subsequent release
of a worldwide edition DVD marked the first time a foreign company has purchased
distribution rights to an Indian film. In 2008, Taare Zameen Par won the Filmfare Award for
Best Film and the National Film Award for Best Film on Family Welfare in the same year. It
was India's official entry for the 2009 Academy Awards for Best Foreign Film, highlighting
the importance of the film in spreading dyslexia awareness among the general public.

This movie illustrates Ishaan, an 8-year-old dyslexic child's life and fantasies. His
parents decide to send him to a boarding school due to his poor academic record despite he
has high artistic ability. Ishaan's new art teacher realises he's dyslexic and works with him to
conquer his challenge. Darsheel Safary and Aamir Khan star in Taare Zameen Par, with
Darsheel playing eight-year-old Ishaan and Aamir as his art teacher. Darsheel's performance
moved a lot of people.

There are two objectives in this assignment. The first objective is to analyse the
communication strategies applied by the director of Taare Zameen Par to transmit the
information to the public. Furthermore, identifying the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the
communication strategies used in this movie to convey certain messages to the audiences is

1
also one of the objectives of this study. This assignment will be conducted based on the two
objectives mentioned. Through this assignment, it is expected that the researchers will be able
to learn how the director applies communication techniques to send his messages through the
movie. Additionally, the researchers anticipate that they will have a clearer mindset on how
movies get to influence the public’s view on certain topics. This assignment also wishes to
explore the relationship between the communication strategies used in a movie and their
effects on the effectiveness to convey information through that movie.

2.0 DISCUSSION ON THE BACKGROUND AND MESSAGES IN TAARE ZAMEEN
PAR
2.1 The Synopsis of The Movie Taare Zameen Par
Ishaan Awasthi (Darsheel Safary) is an eight-year-old boy who is suffering
from a neurological disorder called dyslexia, which makes him have difficulties in
both reading and writing and he could not recognize letters properly. Ishaan hates
school and did not like to study since he always fails in the exams and just cannot
understand what is written in the books. This also makes Ishaan just cannot seem to
get anything right in class. However, although he is not able to do well in his
schoolwork, he has a very high talent in art and painting and his world is full
of wonders and fantasies that no one else appears to value. Ishaan is interested in
colours, fish, dogs, and kites which are irrelevant in the world of adults, who are far
more concerned with homework, grades, and neatness.

Unfortunately, people around Ishaan like his teachers, classmates, neighbours

and even his parents do not understand him and just deprecate him. Ishaan further gets
stressed from his family. Nandkishore Awasthi (Vipin Sharma), Ishaan's father, is a
successful executive who expects his children to succeed. Maya Awasthi (Tisca
Chopra), his mother, is frustrated by her failure to educate her son. Things worsen
when Ishaan is often compared with his excellent elder brother, Yohaan (Sachet
Engineer), an outstanding student and athlete.

After receiving a particularly poor academic report, Ishaan's parents attributed

his low academic performance to an attitude problem. They are then decided to send
him to a boarding school to be disciplined. However, the new environment does not
improve things; Ishaan continues to be teased by classmates and teachers, and his
grades do not improve. He also has to deal with the added stress of being separated
from his family. The only good thing that has happened to Ishaan is that a physically
disabled child, Rajan Damodran, one of the best students in the class, befriends him.
Ishaan becomes fearful and depressed, and he begins to withdraw into a shell,
seemingly cutting himself off from the rest of the world.

When Ishaan’s world is full of darkness, the appearance of the new art teacher,
Ram Shankar Nikumbh (Aamir Khan) lightened his life again. Different from other
strict predecessors, Nikumbh has his own unique teaching style, he breaks the rule

3
that fixing what students should do by asking them to think, dream and imagine as
well as allowing them to draw what they want depending on their own creativity and
imagination. Except for Ishaan, all of the students learn with delight and excitement.
Nikumbh observes Ishaan's unhappiness and decides to find out why. Nikumbh
discovers that Ishaan has dyslexia after assessing all of Ishaan's previous works.
Nikumbh can connect to Ishaan because he, too, was dyslexic before, and he decides
to assist this poor boy.

Nikumbh made the first effort by going to Ishaan's house. On his day off,
Nikumbh travels to Mumbai. He meets with Ishaan's parents and informs them about
Ishaan's illness as well as the challenges he faces. In Ishaan's house, he saw Ishaan's
past paintings, Ishaan's enthusiasm and talent for art, have astounded him. Nikumbh
then interrogates Mr Awasthi about why he sent Ishaan to a boarding school. Mr
Awasthi replies that Ishaan is a misbehaving child who struggled in school. Nikumbh
continues to analyse the text while showing Ishaan's mother her son's notebooks.
Nikumbh deduces that Ishaan has significant difficulty in understanding letters and
words. Mr Awasthi dismisses it as nothing more than an excuse for Ishaan's laziness.
Ishaan's daily struggles at school are exemplified by Nikumbh. Ishaan, he claims, has
dyslexia and may have other medical issues that make him a difficult child.

Mr Awasthi categorises it as mental retardation, to which Nikumbh objects.

Ishaan, according to Nikumbh, is a gifted student who stands out from the rest of the
class in a unique way because he is an above-average child who absorbs information
differently. Mr Awasthi failed to understand Ishaan, as a result of which the latter has
low self-esteem and has stopped painting, and Mr Awasthi felt horrible about what he
did to Ishaan. In class, Nikumbh addresses dyslexia and lists a few famous dyslexics,
including Albert Einstein, Leonardo Di Vinci, Walt Disney, Agatha Christie, Thomas
Edison, Pablo Picasso, and actor Abhishek Bachchan. Nikumbh then tells Ishaan that
he was dyslexic and had similar problems as Ishaan before. Nikumbh offers tutoring
to Ishaan after getting approval from the school principal. Ishaan begins to acquire an
interest in languages and mathematical skills with Nikumbh’s rehabilitative strategies
developed by dyslexia specialists. Gradually, Ishaan’s grades begin to rise.

Nikumbh hosts an art fair for both students and teachers at the end of the
school year. Lalita Lajmi, an artist, is the competition's judge. Ishaan is voted the

4
winner, with his stunningly inventive style, and his teacher, Nikumbh, who paints
Ishaan's portrait, comes in second. The principal makes an announcement that
Nikumbh has been employed as the school’s permanent art teacher. Ishaan's parents
are stunned when they meet the teachers on the last day of school because of the
transformation they observe in their son. They are shocked by their child's rapid
improvement in academics, and they become aware of their own shortcomings.
Ishaan finally regained his smiles, and he became the pride of his parents and the
school. Ishaan's father, overcome with emotion, expresses his gratitude to Nikumbh.
As Ishaan is getting into the car to leave with his parents for holiday vacation, he
turns around and runs toward Nikumbh. Nikumbh tosses Ishaan into the air in a
freeze-frame image at the end of the film.

Additionally, the movie Taare Zameen Par is trying to deliver several

messages to the audience. Some of the main messages of the movie will be discussed
in this assignment as well.

5
2.2 Messages in Taare Zameen Par

Firstly, one of the main messages from this movie is, every child is unique in
their own way and their potential should be identified. Everyone is gifted with a
unique set of skills. Each child is a work of art in his or her special way and has
different potential. This potential, if fostered, can have a huge impact on a child's
development and professional prospects. Every step demands encouragement. This is
clearly shown in the movie, although Ishaan is not good at his schoolwork, he is
blessed with the talent of painting which is outstanding from other children.
Fortunately, his teacher Nikumbh discovers his latent potential and medical
difficulties and moulds him into a person who is free of anxiety and depression. In
short, deviating from the norm and working in the child's best interests is
recommended.

Apart from that, the film also conveys the message that education should not
be limited in the frame of rote learning. Taare Zameen Par illustrates the value of
proper child education. It also demonstrates how the learning system is nowadays.
Most of the teachers are using a set method to teach, and the students need to answer
every question based on the standard answer fixed. In fact, being in the top three
pupils in the class in terms of grades is not enough, education is all about identifying
students’ strengths and honing them. The process of learning should be vivid and fun.
The movie encourages people to make teaching a pleasurable and enjoyable
experience. Winning is not more significant than the process of learning.

Last but not least, trying to understand the ‘no response’ from the children
is the main message of Taare Zameen Par as well. If a child is having problems
learning something and is not responding to even corrective measures, it is time to
change the teaching technique or solution. Ishaan is being misunderstood by his
parents and teachers that he is rude, and they think that his terrible attitude has led
him to poor academic performance. This movie teaches the public to not always
assume youngsters like Ishaan are disrespectful or unprepared to learn. People should
be aware of children's psychology in order to help them achieve their full potential.
The character Nikumbh in the film plays a very good role in this message. For an
instant, Ishaan initially refused to respond to Nikumbh's corrective tactics, later on,
Nikumbh adjusts his approaches and brings out the best in Ishaan.

3.0 METHODOLOGY
Methodology, according to Polit and Beck (2004), refers to the methods for gathering,
organising, and analysing data. Besides, Creswell (2003) reveals that methodology is a
cohesive array of procedures that work together to generate data and findings that reflect the
research question and are appropriate for the researcher's goals. Bowling (2002) states
that methodology encompasses the entire structure of a research project, including sample
size and methods, data collection practises and techniques, and data analysis. Moreover, the
methodologies utilised to attain the study's aims are known as research methods.

There are two objectives that have been recognised in the movie studies analysis in
this assignment, which are, to discover the director’s communication tactics in delivering
messages to the audiences and, to determine the efficacy or inefficacy of the communication
strategies utilised in this movie to convey specific messages to the public. In order to achieve
the purposes in this assignment, a few types of methodology have been applied by the group
members when carrying out the study, and they are content analysis, reference and group
member analysis.

3.1 Content Analysis

Content analysis is a qualitative research method or tool that is commonly

used to investigate the content and its properties. It is a technique for quantifying
qualitative data by sorting and comparing various pieces of information in order to
synthesise it into useful knowledge. Content analysis also reveals a strong link
between language and psychological elements, paving the way for the creation of
artificial intelligence (Clootrack, 2021).

In this assignment, the group members have used content analysis as one of
the approaches to fulfil the objectives of this assignment. The group members utilise
content analysis to gather data and information from the scenes in Taare Zameen Par
which reveals the director’s intention of applying communication tactics in conveying
messages.

Some scenes are analysed by the group members to find out the director’s way
of using communication skills in the scenes and what feeling or information he wishes
to reach to the audience. The results of the content analysis are being recorded to be

7
used in further discussion of the effectiveness of these scenes in using communication
tactics in transforming messages.

3.2 References

Various sources such as articles, journals, previous research and lecturer’s

presentation slides are used by the group members as references in this study. The
researchers of this study also utilised Internet resources as a reference when the study
is carried out. These references have facilitated the researchers in acquiring some
information about the movie Taare Zameen Par and searching for the meaning of
some specific terms used in this assignment, as well as some theories and knowledge
related to this assignment. Besides that, the film Taare Zameen Par is the primary
source of reference used in this assignment as analysing its content is one of the main
cores in completing this study.

3.4 Group Analysis Method

The group analysis method is utilised in this assignment to obtain the opinions
and ideas from each of the group members during the process of analysing the film
and determining whether the communication tactics the director used in conveying the
messages are effective or not. The group members' views regarding the
communication strategies employed in the film are collected. They are also assigned
to continue to carry out research to obtain more data and information related to the
study to meet the study's objectives.

All group members are given a questionnaire which is prepared based on the
objectives of this study that concerns the sort of communication strategies used in the
movie, as well as how are the effectiveness of these strategies applied. The
questionnaire is then completed by all the group members. The voting result from the
questionnaire will then be used to conduct the findings of the study. The main purpose
of doing this is to determine what kind of communication styles director Aamir Khan
used in this film in order to provide effective communication to the audience while
they are watching it.

4.0 DISCUSSION ON THE FINDINGS OF THE STUDY

In this part, the findings of this study which are derived from the results of the
research and voting done by the group members will be demonstrated. The findings are
analysed in statistical data and presented in a table. The findings are being investigated based
on the two objectives set in this assignment. The five group members of this assignment are
of different gender, race and nationality. Hence, the views and opinions of these group
members towards on movie are engaged in this study to represent the public’s point of view.

Table 2 reveals the result of voting done by the 5 group members to determine
the types of communication strategy used by the director. This result is obtained after
the five researchers have analysed the movie by using the content analysis
respectively. From the table, all members have voted the non-verbal communication
and visual communication which indicates that all group members agree that these

9
two are used by the director to send messages to the public through the movie Taare
Zameen Par. A discussion is then conducted among the group members to investigate
the non-verbal and visual communication strategies used in this movie.

From the discussion, a few points have been mentioned to illustrate how the
director uses non-verbal communication to pass on information in the movie Taare
Zameen Par. Firstly, there are a lot of scenes in this movie that can be used as
examples to explain the way the director uses non-verbal communication to
communicate with his audiences. In these scenes, without any line spoken by the
actors, the director expresses certain situations to the audience by only demonstrating
the storyline by showing the actors’ body language and expressions. The majority of
the researchers concur that they are able to understand clearly what messages the
director is hoping to convey to them when watching these scenes.

Besides, the group members argue that the performance of Aamir Khan in
playing the character Ram Shankar Nikumbh is excellent that every emotion and
intention of the character are well-received by them even though he was using non-
verbal communication. In the movie, the intention of Nikumbh in assisting Ishaan is
strongly felt by the group members via his eye gazes, micro-expressions and body
language. Furthermore, the researchers also agree that another main actor of this film,
Darsheel has played his character Ishaan well with non-verbal communication. The
director designs the character Ishaan with very few lines in this movie, hence, the
character Ishaan communicate with the audience mainly in a non-verbal way. For
instance, Ishaan shows a happy face when he is immersed in his own imagination
world or doing something he is interested in like watching fish, playing with dogs and
kites. On the other hand, researchers can feel his grievance and helplessness when he
is being misunderstood by the adults. There is one scene that impressed the
researchers the most, which is the scene that after Ishaan was sent to the boarding
school for times and he can no longer suppress his emotion, he came out and keep
running in the field on a rainy day while crying. This scene touches every researchers’
heart since the director displays this scene without words but is still able to make the
audience empathise with Ishaan.

Furthermore, the researchers realise that the director demonstrates Ishaan’s

inner thoughts and imaginations mainly through the use of visual communication. For

10
example, the director applies animations to show the audience what Ishaan is thinking
about, how his imagination leads him to a wrong answer in the exam and how were
the alphabets look like in his world. The group members agree that this can be very
helpful in assisting the audience to understand Ishaan’s difficulties. Besides, in order
to reveal Ishaan’s talent, the director presents a few scenes that focus on Ishaan’s
amazing paintings, which is also a visual communication approach.

On the other hand, three of the researchers also prefer that the movie is using
verbal communication in conveying messages as well. Based on the three researchers’
explanations, the director uses mainly verbal communication in revealing the stresses
faced by Ishaan. The school teachers often humiliate Ishaan with words in the class
and his father also reprimand him with worse words as well. Also, the director
interprets Ishaan’s disability to the viewers through Nikumbh’s words when he visits
Ishaan’s house and talks to Ishaan’s parents about his disorder. In addition, the
director applies a lot of songs in this movie and uses the lyrics to communicate with
audiences about the characters’ innermost thoughts, which is also a type of verbal
communication used.

Additionally, there were also two group members who vote for the written
communication strategy. They explain the reason they do so by using a scene in the
movie as an example, which is, the scene at 1:22:00-1:23:03. In this scene, the teacher
Nikumbh looked at all Ishaan’s books, then he noticed that Ishaan cannot distinguish
the alphabets like “b” and “d”, he believes that Ishaan is confused to distinguish the
similar words or alphabets as well. The scene denotes Ishaan’s writing to make
audiences comprehend his problem in differentiating the resemble words.

After the discussion, all members have reached a consensus that the verbal,
non-verbal, visual, and written communication strategies are used by the director of
Taare Zameen Par to convey messages. However, comparatively, among the four
communication strategies utilised in the movie, the director seems like prefers to use
more visual communication and non-verbal communication approaches than the other
two.

Table 3 shows the degree of understanding of the five researchers who

represent the public on the information transmitted from the movie Taare Zameen Par
that is collected from the questionnaire done by all five researchers. Surprisingly, all
the five group members have voted “Very clear” in this part, which indicates that all
the researchers were able to receive the messages that the director intended to
communicate with the audience very clearly.

From the group discussion, the researchers explain the reasons they give high
rates on the clearness of messages conveyed in the movie. Some of their opinions will
be discussed here. First, one of the researchers says that the director has successfully
used communication approaches to make her understand the difficulties undergone by
Ishaan and the director also succeeded in driving her emotions which make her
sympathise with Ishaan when he experienced emotional and social problems due to
the wrong perceptions from his surroundings, which make him more depressed, and
unable to show his real talent and full potential. She also feels the character’s
helplessness before the character of the teacher Nikumbh appears.

Moreover, another researcher has pointed out that after watching the movie, he
was able to obtain three main messages from it. According to the researcher, the first
message accepted by him was the parents & teachers should be extremely supportive

12
and encouraging towards the children. Secondly, the young dyslexic should be given
chances to find an area in which he or she could succeed. Finally, he believes that
listening to children’s feelings is a part of encouragement. He explains that anxiety,
anger and depression are daily companions for dyslexics. However, their language
problems often make it difficult for them to express their feelings. Therefore, adults
must help them to find a way to talk about their feelings. From the views of this
researcher, the other researchers are further convinced that the movie has efficiently
created awareness among the audience to concern more about dyslexic patients and
find a correct way to treat them.

In addition, there is also a group member who adds on saying that there is
another important message that has been successfully conveyed by the director
through the movie. She states that the movie explained the rigidity of the current
education system. Parents and teachers must reward effort, not just the product,
especially for the dyslexic, grades should be less important than the progress. When
confronting the unacceptable behaviour of the child, adults must first try to look for
the reason but not blindly discourage them. Words such as “lazy” or “incorrigible”
should be avoided since they can seriously damage the child’s self-image. These
make the audience realise that the way of carrying out education can actually be more
flexible and targeted based on the differences of the children’s talents.

In short, all the researchers of this study have the same views that the movie
has succeeded in clearly communicating the information to the public. The
communication methods used by the director to convey the main messages of the
movie to the audience are effective and easy to be understood as well.

13
5.0 CONCLUSION

Generally, the movie Taare Zameen Par directed by Aamir Khan has successfully
delivered useful messages to the audiences by using a few forms of communication
strategies, which are, verbal, non-verbal, visual and written communication strategies. From
this movie, the researchers have learned some vital lessons related to the main messages of
the movie, and some of them will be discussed briefly here. Firstly, the researchers
understand that every child has his or her own unique talent, and this talent can be in any
field, the public should not limit a child with only his academic performance. It can be said
that as a parent, it is best to always appreciate the positive things from the child even if it is
not always about the value of the report card. If children like to draw, appreciate it. If
children like to dance and sing, cherish that as well. Because if a child does something with
joy and happiness, and is supported by his parents, he will feel proud and increase his efforts
to achieve. No doubt, academic values are important, however, people should understand that
if a child fails in one of the subjects he or she does not master, he or she may have talent in
another area.

Furthermore, the movie tells the audience to not force someone to do something they
do not want to or are not talented in. This is because it will only kill the forced person slowly,
as in the scene where teacher Nikumbh says to Mr Aswathi about how the people of the
Solomon Islands treat the tree Hamun by saying bad words to it daily until the tree died of its
own accord. The dialogue in this scene actually has its own meaning. From the researchers’
understanding, what Nikumbh is trying to convey is that the act of both Ishaan’s parents is
actually killing Ishaan without them realizing it. This message can be related to just like what
happens on Facebook or any social sites, where the behaviour of both Ishaan's parents and the
community in the story symbolizes the behaviour of people and society today who preach or
reprimand on Facebook regardless of the effect (short- and long-term effect). That is why if
we want to preach or rebuke, use a proper approach like what teacher Nikumbh did in Taare
Zameen Par.

14
 Apart from that, from the analysis done by the researchers about the movie Taare
Zameen Par, it can be concluded that non-verbal communication and visual communication
that are used by the director as the main communication strategies are efficient enough to
deliver the messages to the public. The director makes good use of the facial expressions,
tones, body gestures, actions and behaviours of the performers to express their emotions and
internal thoughts, this makes the audience feels the characters. Besides, the director also
applies visual communication strategy to send information, for example, the director uses a
lot of animations to illustrate Ishaan’s imagination as well as displays the dancing alphabets
to imitate what Ishaan see. This aids the audience to better understand Ishaan’s world and
how Ishaan feels.

However, although verbal communication is also the important communication

strategy applied in this movie and it is useful in running the flow of the plots, the researchers
summarize that the effectiveness of this communication strategy is far less than the non-
verbal communication utilised. This is because the researchers agree that non-verbal
communication is more capable to make audiences empathise with the characters compared
to verbal communication. As proof, the essence of the movie is the scene that teacher
Nikumbh hold a drawing competition at the end of the year, this scene impressed the
researchers most as it told that Ishaan has regained his interest in drawing and Nikumbh has
succeeded in helping this boy. The whole scene does not have any lines spoken by the two
characters, but just via their eye gazes, body language and facial expressions, the researchers
are able to feel the strong relationship between them and being touched by it. For written
communication strategy, the researchers feel that it was less important in this movie because
it was being applied in comparatively fewer scenes than the other communication strategies.
The researchers concluded that the director use little written communication strategy in the
movie only as an aid to further emphasize Ishaan’s situations.

In conclusion, overall, the movie Taare Zameen Par is a great film as it is able to
bring several meaningful messages to the public. The director has applied proper
communication strategies to communicate efficiently with the audiences. This makes the
movie succeed in delivering its information to audiences easily without any restriction
regarding the ages, races, gender, nationality, educational background or etc.
