Ishaan Awasthi is an eight-year-old whose world is filled with wonders that no one else seems to appreciate; colours, fish, dogs and kites are just not important in the world of adults, who are much more interested in things like homework, marks and neatness. And Ishaan just cannot seem to get anything right in class. When he gets into far more trouble than his parents can handle, he is packed off to a boarding school to 'be disciplined'. Things are no different at his new school, and Ishaan has to contend with the added trauma of separation from his family. One day a new art teacher bursts onto the scene, Ram Shankar Nikumbh, who infects the students with joy and optimism. He breaks all the rules of 'how things are done' by asking them to think, dream and imagine, and all the children respond with enthusiasm, all except Ishaan. Nikumbh soon realizes that Ishaan is very unhappy, and he sets out to discover why. With time, patience and care, he ultimately helps Ishaan find himself. 都是地球上的星星。你遇见的老师是蜡烛还是剥落的旧墙。即便我们关心，我们也不知道该怎么做！。又发现电影界的一朵奇葩。特殊教育-有心就有路。做一个真正关心孩子心灵，重视每个孩子的教育的好老师。每个孩子都是特别的。你有没有读懂星星的眼睛。经典台词。每个小孩都是一颗星星。 对于8岁的男孩伊夏（达席尔·萨法瑞 Darsheel Safary 饰）来说，世界是充满了惊奇和快乐的万花筒，他正在用一切他能够想到的方式和这个陌生的世界进行着交流，同时也充分的享受着大地万物慷慨的赠与。可是，这样的伊夏却是成年人眼中的问题儿童，他的成绩不好，在班上的排名靠后， 脑子里还充满了各种匪夷所思的鬼点子，在又一次闯下大祸后，忍无可忍的父母将他送往了寄宿学校。 虽然伊夏的新生活并没有什么改变，但在内心里，和父母分离的生活让他感到闷闷不乐，这时，一位名叫尼克（阿米尔·汗 Aamir Khan 饰）的美术老师走进了他的生活。和以往所见到的固守成规的老师不同，尼克主张让学生们保留自己的个性和思想，自由的发展。在和尼克相处的日子里，伊夏和尼克都慢慢的成熟了起来。
