The title "Every Child is Special" reflects the movie's central theme:
* Celebrating Individuality: The film highlights the importance of recognizing and nurturing the unique talents and learning styles of every child. It challenges the traditional, one-size-fits-all approach to education.
* Challenging Labels: The protagonist, Ishaan, is initially labeled as "dyslexic" and "troubled" but the film showcases that he is simply a child who learns differently.
* The Power of Understanding: The film emphasizes the importance of understanding and supporting children who struggle in the conventional educational system.
While the English title "Every Child is Special" is commonly used, the original Hindi title "Taare Zameen Par" (Stars on Earth) is equally symbolic. It implies that every child possesses a unique potential, like a star shining brightly in the vast expanse of the universe.
The film's message resonates with audiences worldwide, promoting the understanding and acceptance of children with diverse learning abilities.
