Every Child is Special
CHARACTERS:
Darsheel Safary as Ishaan Awasthi, an eight-year old whose world is filled with wonders that no one else seems to appreciate.
Aamir Khan as Ram Shankar Nikumbh, an art teacher who infects the students with joy and optimism.
Tisca Chopra as Maya Awasthi, Ishaan's mother, who gave up her career to raise her children.
Vipin Sharma as Nandkishore Awasthi, Ishaan's "strict, hard, dominating father".
Girija Oak as Jabeen, Nikumbh's co-worker
Sachet Engineer as Yohaan Awasthi, Ishaan's elder brother.
Tanay Chheda as Rajan Damodran, Ishaan's classmate at New Era High School.
Bugs Bhargava and Shankar Sachdev as Sen Sir and Tiwari Sir, Two teachers at New Era High School, whose attitude towards Ishaan softens as his grades improve and he wins the art contest.
M. K. Raina as the principal of New Era High School
The character that I really like is Mr. Nikumbh. I admired him because he understands that children must be allowed the freedom to imagine and make their own decisions. The role of the teacher is limited to that of a guide only-- children cannot simply be spoon-fed some knowledge, or dry facts, and be expected to really shine in life! But above everything else, it's his attitude towards the students in which he is most different from others: he lets the kids have their share of fun, laughter, music and dance. The children are overjoyed to have such a friendly teacher, who not only lets them sing and dance, but also gives them the freedom to express whatever they want, in whichever way they wish to! He infected the children with joy and optimism.
