The film was released in the US on DVD by the Walt Disney Studio as `Like Stars on Earth`. `Like Stars on Earth` includes seven Bollywood dance numbers, animated interludes and a brand new English-language track for the cross-cultural audience, a media release said. "A little twinkling star of a movie", according to BBC Movie Reviews, `Like Stars on Earth` produced, directed and starring Aamir Khan, features young newcomer Darsheel Safary in a performance that earned him a 2007 Filmfare nomination for Best Actor. `Taare Zameen Par` was one of India`s top grossing theatrical releases of 2007. The film revolves around eight-year-old Ishaan Awasthi (Darsheel Safary), a dyslexic child, struggling to read and write and unable to deliver the good grades and disciplined behavior expected by his parents and teachers. Shipped off to a boarding school to straighten out, he meets a art teacher (Aamir Khan) who is determined to draw the introverted child out. PTI
