Aamir Khan 's maiden directorial venture Taare Zameen Par , which has won critical acclaim, Sunday night moved Prime Minister Manmohan Singh who said it was a lesson for India's educational system.
"The film has lessons for our educational system," Singh said after watching the movie at a special screening at 'Panchavati' in his official residence in New Delhi.
Singh and his family members watched the film in which Aamir also acts along with child artist Darsheel Safary , who plays the role of a dyslexic student -- Ishaan Awasthy.
Singh was "deeply moved" by the film, a PMO spokesperson said.
The film, which also stars Tisca Chopra as the mother of Darsheel and Sachet Engineer as the father, is the story of a child who suffers greatly in school until a teacher, Aamir (Nikumbh), identifies him as a dyslexic.
Dyslexia is a learning disability, which manifests primarily as a difficulty in learning the written language.
