communicating with anyone, even going as far as to stop drawing. With a stroke of
luck, an art replacement class teacher Mr Nikumbh, comes into Ishaan’s life. The
journey of these two characters starts to change things, helping Ishaan improve. Besides,
Mr Nikumbh strives hard to help Ishaan overcome his barrier by meeting his family,
and headmaster and creating a special teaching method that fits Ishaan’s disabilities. In
addition, some themes in this film are worth discussing. Firstly, the obstacles in learning
faced by Ishaan, who suffers from dyslexia, make it notoriously hard to read and
write. It draws attention to the difficulties these kids face in the ordinary school system
and the demand for individual, empathetic teaching methods. Secondly, the educator’s
role is crucial as the theme shows in this movie. The transformational impact that
educators may have on their students is emphasized throughout the movie. The
character of Mr. Nikumbh stands in for the dedicated and compassionate educator who
can profoundly affect a child's life. Last but not least, the child-parent relationship is
also a highlight in this movie. The complexities of parent-child relationships are
discussed in the film, with a focus on the difficulties parents have when trying to
comprehend and provide for a kid with special needs. It is emphasized how parents
should support and stand by their kids.
After watching this movie, there are touching moments that I have strong
feelings for. For example, when Ishaan was bullied by his friend, I recalled my own
experience, I was constantly bullied by my classmates due to being weak and prone to
crying, and they liked to see my reaction when they bullied me. After I found out their
intention, I started to ignore them and stayed away from them, and I realised that it
worked. From there I learned that if someone keeps disturbing us intentionally, we
should just neglect them and we should fight if needed to protect ourselves. As such,
we must always stay strong to avoid someone thinking we're easy pickings and be their
clowns or instruments of amusement. Once they see through our weaknesses, we might
easily be bullied. Other than the situation that I just mentioned, the other moment that
I empathised with was when Mr Nikumbh opposed Ishaan’s father's mindset and
education method. Nowadays, everyone tends to lean towards prestigious fields, such
as medicine, engineering, management and so on. However, every child has aptitude,
distinctive talents and dreams. In this conversation, I strongly agree with Mr Nikumbh’s
5

opinion. This is because I have two sisters who are excellent academically. In the
context of comparison, and my sisters, I was just an ordinary student with average
grades. Due to my having no interest in the scientific field, I decided to continue my
educational life in advertising design courses. When my parents heard this decision,
they questioned my choices. Hence, I strived hard to persuade and prove my
determination. In the end, I successfully joined XMUM’s Bachelor of Arts in
Advertising Design course and got the scholarship offered by the university. Moreover,
the moment that Ishaan's brother lost his tennis match, his father did not comfort him,
on the other hand, he was just mad at him. This moment relates to my own experiences,
which was when I didn’t perform well in the Wushu competition because it was the
first match that I had ever participated in, and I felt nervous when I was doing the
sequence of movements in martial arts. Since that happened, I rarely participated in any
competition because I am worried, I might disappoint someone’s expectations. Other
than that, when Ishaan was tutored by Mr Nikumbh, I saw myself in him because I
failed my English paper when I was in my first year in high school. Then, one of my
seniors was willing to teach me patiently and I successfully got a satisfactory grade in
my SPM. All these moments make me sentimental while I am watching this movie due
to how it is all tightly correlated with me. Luckily, I have made it through all these
unpleasant moments after meeting some new friends.

Nikumbh. Respond by Mr Awasthi, “So are you saying that my son is abnormal,
mentally retarded?” By claiming that Mr Nikumbh is implying that Mr Awasthi's son
is "unusual" or "mentally retarded," he misrepresents Mr Nikumbh's statements. In Mr
Nikumbh's first statement, he mentioned no such assumptions; instead, he was talking
about the fact that dyslexia is a neurological disorder rather than criticising Mr
Awasthi's son. Mr Awasthi twists the original argument to make it harder to criticise or
reject via the strawman fallacy. Mr Awasthi is trying to take the lead in the conversation,
and this misrepresentation allows Mr Awasthi to shift the focus of the conversation
away from the actual discussion about dyslexia and towards an emotional and false
accusation. Secondly, there is a quote mentioned in the film, “He has to only pass
these subjects.” said Mr Nikumbh. The boarding school’s headmaster replied, “So all
the subjects we teach except yours, are pointless?” In this talk, the headmaster used the
strawman fallacy to put words that Mr Nikumbh didn’t say, that the art class was more
vital than another subject. The headmaster made his stand about his educational concept.
He thinks that Ishaan doesn’t fit in this school since he is only good at drawing and is
not going to learn other subjects such as mathematics, History, Geography, Science,
and languages. To conclude, there are various fallacies we might use in our real life.

This meaningful movie taught me some lessons, as such I might apply them in
my future. The importance of understanding and support for parents towards their
children is a vital pivot. We should pay more attention to this issue seriously to ensure
our children’s mental health is well. For instance, Ishaan’s father lacks caring about his
child. When Ishaan gets a bad result, he will first scold him or punish him rather than
ask him the reason that he failed. He didn’t find out the truth about the reason of Ishaan
kept getting bad results in his academics. Mr Awasthi thought that Ishaan just didn’t
pay attention in class and didn’t put in enough effort in his academics. Then, he put
Ishaan into a boarding school and hoped that his son would change his behaviour and
attitude. In my opinion, a parent should always care about their child no matter what
physically and psychologically. Hence, our child may live in happiness and receive
enough attention. Once the child feels he is being abandoned by his parent, he will start
feeling anxious and hopeless. This relates to the scene in the movie which is when
Ishaan draws a unique flipbook when he is leaving his family. That book shows his
mental activity at that time. He was feeling upset and dislikes losing his family. It is
essential to have an open communication between children and parents. An open
communication could build a foundation of trust between parents and children.
Additionally, early identification of behavioural problems or emotional discomfort in
8
XIAMEN UNIVERSITY MALAYSIA
children can be assisted by parents who keep an open line of communication with kids.
This makes quick help and action appropriate. In summary, a parent-child relationship
should not be ignored or overlooked, a good bonding between parents and children may
ultimately assist in a child's achievement and happiness.
In this movie, there is a major negative point that I must delve into deeply
unrealistic depiction. In this movie, the dyslexia that Ishaan faces can’t represent all
dyslexic patients. There are many kinds of dyslexia, such as phonological dyslexia,
surface dyslexia, rapid naming deficit, and double deficit dyslexia. ( Sruthi,2022)
Ishaan has the subtype of dyslexia which is phonological dyslexia, typified by difficulty
in recognising the relationship between letters and their matching sounds and
processing spoken language sounds. The different dyslexia might have different
solutions. In Ishaan's situation, Mr Nikumbh gave him a tutorial class by slowly
improving with a special teaching way. For example, he used drawing features to
integrate and form new learning methods, especially for Ishaan. However, different
types of dyslexia have different ways of teaching which shows that the methods in the
movie didn’t fit every type of dyslexia. For example, people who suffer from surface
dyslexia have difficulty understanding entire words, which is most likely caused by
problems with vision or visual processing in the brain, on the contrary, people who
suffer from phonological dyslexia have trouble distinguishing between written forms
and the sounds of the individual letters and syllables. Therefore, the teaching methods
that Mr Nikumbh applied to Ishaan don’t fit surface dyslexia. In conclusion, it's
essential to remember that dyslexia is a complicated disorder, and people with it could
have a variety of symptoms. This is because some people may exhibit characteristics of
both phonological and surface dyslexia, so it is critical to provide them with specialized
support that caters for their needs. There are also various subtypes of dyslexia, each
with special characteristics and with its own set of problems to deal with.

Joining a foundation in IT is also just a temporary decision due to the salary of the
employment salary. I had tried to find out the aims of the career that I might be
interested in along my whole foundation journey. Fortunately, I realised that I enjoy
taking photos and videos and I feel at peace while I am taking photos. Meanwhile, I
tried to find a course that convergence with photography class. Finally, I chose to join
XMUM advertising as I mentioned above. For me, I think this is the largest decision
I've ever made in my life. This is because when I was at the foundation, I was with my
secondary school friends. Changing to a whole new environment is difficult for me to
adapt and make new friends because I faced social anxiety before this. However, I have
never regretted joining this university because I have met many friends from different
countries such as China, Zambia, and Indonesia. If I kept staying in my comfort zone
and avoiding my problems, I might have led a meaningless life.
“Live in the moment and seize the day”, is the philosophical idea which is
hedonism that I have always trusted. This concept is deep in my head because there
are various possibilities that we could meet tomorrow. We can’t predict the things that
will happen in the future. Hence, the things that we could control and manipulate are
today. For example, I always eat the foods that I crave for the day and watch the movies
that I am interested in. I always finish the work as much as possible so it may not cause
an accumulation and become heavy work. Due to the philosophical concept, I am a
punctual person all the time. I will use all the time I have on that day and try not to
waste the time. Furthermore, I keep reminding myself to stay positive even when I
encounter something unhappy or dissatisfied. When I am dealing with something
stressful, I will try my best to release it and avoid it affecting my whole day's mood,
such as taking a short break or a nap. A short break may help me effectively think again
and refocus on something. This might assist me a lot while I am doing heavy work.
Besides, smaller-scale multitasking is also one of my ways to live in the moment. Thus,
I can get full concentration while doing a task. Furthermore, Platonism that also one of
the philosophical ideas that I believe in. As an example, I love taking photos and
shooting videos to capture the great moments of that day. At the end of the day, I can
think and reflect on where I can improve or maintain. Moreover, I always like to try
new things and challenge myself. For instance, I tried snorkelling in Pulau Tioman last

year. It was a memorable experience in my life, and I loved it so much. Last but not
least, we should always keep moving and approaching our goals by learning new skills,
never limiting ourselves to try something new and keep going by challenging
ourselves.
Conclusion
In the last place, every child is unique, this movie clearly shows how important
a good education is towards a student. An appropriate education mould may cultivate
and stimulate a talented student to shine bright in their field. It also leads and allows
the kid to strive hard for their dream. This film is not just sharing emotional and heart-
touching moments, it even highlights the uniqueness of every child. The relationship
between parent and child is also a key point that highlights the whole movie. It reflects
a kid's feeling in how the parent treats their kid. Parent’s minor behaviours might
influence the child’s mental health. Do not limit your child’s imagination and creativity,
just let them do the things they like, and shine in their respective fields.
