I have no words for this movie. The after-effects of watching it cannot be explained; it has to be experienced. It's not an emotional flick that would fill you with gloom and sympathy for the special kids. It leaves you with an inspiration, a new motivation, and an attitudinal change (for some). It acts as a parenting guide, a teaching guide, and a microscope giving a closer look at life (all this backed with full fledged logic and rational arguments). The emotional turmoil as well as the joys of life has been captured really well.

It takes us back to those school days when life would have been far simpler had there been no scary teachers troubling us, no rules and regulations to be followed and no competition forcing us to excel. It reminds us of the times when we used to kill time just day dreaming, or observing minute details of any trivial thing. It rings a bell telling us that once we used to think differently and the obvious never seemed to be so obvious.

We realize how comfortably we have compartmentalized our thoughts and activities to make our lives easier but at the same time restricting our horizon of thinking. We start living in a different world altogether that doesn't allow us to relate to our own kids.

We get a reflection of innocence, chastity, determination and will power in kids through this movie. Indeed, child is the father of man!
