"Every Child is Special" is a heartwarming and thought-provoking movie that explores

the challenges faced by children with special needs and the importance of recognizing their
potential. The film follows the story of Ishaan Awasthi (played by Darsheel Safary), a dyslexic
child who struggles to fit in and perform academically in school.

The movie is directed by Aamir Khan and is based on a true story. Aamir Khan also
plays the role of Nikumbh Sir, a new art teacher who recognizes Ishaan's talent and helps him
overcome his learning disability. Through Nikumbh's unconventional teaching methods, Ishaan
learns to read and write and develops a love for art.

The film highlights the need for a more inclusive education system that acknowledges
the diversity of learning styles and abilities among children. It also addresses the importance of
parental support and understanding in helping children with special needs thrive.

Darsheel Safary delivers a stunning performance as Ishaan, capturing the character's

frustration, sadness, and eventual joy with great finesse. Aamir Khan's portrayal of Nikumbh Sir
is also noteworthy, as he brings a sense of optimism and empathy to the film.

Overall, "Every Child is Special" is a must-watch for anyone who believes in the power of
education and the potential of every child. It is a poignant reminder that all children, regardless
of their abilities or disabilities, deserve equal opportunities to learn, grow, and succeed.
