The story of Taare Zameen Par dissolves the mind of young children who are bounded by the pressures of life.
Eight-year old Ishaan Awasthi’s (Darsheel Safary ) life is not moving in the right direction, at least for him. He is bogged down with the constant pressures of performing well in the class. For Ishaan, life is more than just a mark sheet. He likes kites, fishes, shiny objects, spaceships and ice golas.
After receiving a complaint about Ishaan, his father Nandkishore Awasthi (Vipin Sharma) decides to pack Ishaan off to a boarding school. Maya (Tisca Chopra), Ishaan’s mother adores her son but agrees to send her son away from her, thinking it would do some good to Ishaan.
For Ishaan, things get worsen as now he has to bear the separation of his family along with his other woes.
In the boarding school, things fail to improve until an art teacher Ram Shankar Nikumbh enters the scene and imbibes the culture of work with fun in the kids. Except Ishaan, the entire class responds to his ideas, making Nikumbh wonder about the kid’s psychology.
After exploring Ishaan’s problem, Nikumbh decides to bring in some delight to Ishaan’ life.
