I loved the dialogue in Dhoom 3, where +Aamir Khan tells Katrina that 'Some people cannot tie shoelaces, even Einstein could not tie his shoelaces', when she wonders on how come the person who can play dreadful stunts in a circus not tie shoelaces...
Loved this movie, because (leaving all other things of the movie aside) it creates awareness among common public that being a little different is not being abnormal. In today's world when we are progressing on every front, then why this aspect of human life be left in haze and blur. Why education system is still largely a cookie cutter system, one cut fit all...And from where we coined the term 'Learning Disabled'. Do we call a person with milk allergies as 'Milk disabled' or a asthma patient as 'Breathing Disabled'. No, but if a person not able to respond to commonly teaching aids, he/she get labelled as 'slow', 'LD', 'special needs' and this stigma of labels and false pride, pushes many parents into denial mode and they cause more harm then good to their child...
Methods are available which empowers a person to overcome these issues and they can participate in life to fullest...
