Tracing the journey of an art teacher Ram Shankar Nikumbh (Aamir Khan) and his eight-year-old student, Ishaan Awasthi (Darshal Safary) is Taare Zameen Par. Ishaan, who is more fascinated with colours, fish, dogs and kites somehow fails to fit into a world where grades are the only things that matter. His troubles get worse when he is packed off to a boarding school, where he has to cope with another trauma – that of staying away from his family. But just when Ishaan feels he has nothing to look forward to, his art teacher Ram Shankar Nikumbh enters the scene and tries to understand why the young fellow is so unhappy. And with time, patience and care, he ultimately helps Ishaan find himself.
