The film is about a kid suffering from Dyslexia. The entire world including his parents fail to understand his illness and believe that the young boy is making excuses for not studying. The film showcases how our culture drives our young ones towards scorecard performance and how the weight of expectations haunts the next gen.
That time, I could co-relate to the protagonist Prof Nikumbh, played by Amir Khan, who finds out the boy's illness and then helps the boy overcome Dyslexia methodically. It made me feel a different kind of emotion where I felt the urge of helping out someone in need.
However, when I watched the movie last weekend, I could more relate to the parents of the young boy suffering from Dyslexia. I was almost in tears on more than one occasions during the movie. This emotionally weak side of me is usually subdued and thus, I was perplexed to see this side of me emerging frequently during the movie. Such vulnerability was not observed when I watched the movie two years ago. When I gave more thought to it, I realized that the difference was the fact that two years ago, my daughter was not born and I had not experienced parenthood. Now, when I watch this movie, the emotional outburst is from the new parent that lies within me.
I have always been emotionally attached to my family especially my wife but fatherhood is altogether a different emotion, a feeling at a different level.
I attempted, but realized that words can not describe this emotion!!
