I fail to understand why people are not trying to look beyond the surface wrt these films.

The ending of the movie is not winning the prize.
The ending is Ishaan going home for holidays. ( so much for Indian psyche?)
Plus, the winning is token, it was a draw in a local competition. It was not the All India goodwill award for painting.

The important bit is about reintegration. Ishaan had lost faith in a society and run away, Aamir reinstates his confidence to come back to the society, not by force not by adherence but out of ishaan’s own accord. ( There is about 5 min sequence of ishaan going through the conflict and deciding to attend and his preparations).

Ending is about family accepting him; he playing with his brother like anyone else and going back home like any family. It never says ishaan is going to become painter or doctor.

This reminds me of the ending Truffuat’s Quatre cents coups, Antoine( Truffaut as kid) , the problem child , abandoned by his own family stands before the vast sea ( symbolic of the infinite possibilities) for the first time in life. He sees the magnitude of what lies before, his life, his own future.

And that’s it.

Here is the conclusion: India with all its flowing cappuccino , and grammatically perfect blogging cant recognise Aamir’s genius.

If you ask me the nation doesn’t deserve him.

He must have clarified a million times:
Yet all Indians can manage is ishaan is dyslexic kid ( thrice in the blog) and dyslexia is an illness( read the blog).

Dyslexia is a condition and Ishaan is a kid with dyslexia not a dyslexic kid.

There is a reason why messages are given out again and again. Just like my comment now.

PS- trying to convince myself there is no censorship

Ishaan is not a dsylxiec kid, he is a kid with dyslexia.
And for heaven’s sake: Dyslexia is a condition.
