Did he have dyslexia, aspergers, ADD or all?


This kid seemed to have a combination of the three. He had trouble reading and making out characters in numbers, couldnt hold focus and had trouble relating to others. Its one of those handful of foreign films you just cant remake in America (though of all companies Disney released it). In this country theyd pry little Ishaan full of Ritalin and give him a guidance counselor and hed be functional at least. Its like the two polar opposites, with us really (arguably) over medicating and treating kids and India seeming to not do that at all.


A very good drama wedged onto a sappy bollywood movie.
