Hindi cinema star AAMIR KHAN directs, produces and stars in this touching tale of a creative young boy needing a supportive hand, and a teacher prepared to allow his students to find themselves through their imaginations, in this award winning Indian film LIKE STARS ON EARTH, released to DVD on 11 November 2009.

LIKE STARS ON EARTH is a moving tale about a young boy with an extraordinary inner world of colours, animals and adventures. However 8 year old Ishaan Awasthi’s (DARSHEEL SAFARY) real life is full of misunderstandings and difficulties, resulting in his parents sending him off to boarding school after a spate of bad grades, bullying and skipping school.

At first, being at boarding school offers little improvement for Ishaan until the arrival of new teacher, Ram Shankar Nikumbh (AAMIR KHAN). Through encouragement, fun and imagination in the classroom, Nikumbh breaks all the rules and radically brings joy to the students.

But not everyone is instilled with the infectious optimism of Nikumbh’s exuberant classes. When Nikumbh notices that Ishaan is unhappy and withdrawn he sets out to discover why. Nikumbh in the process helps Ishaan find himself and proves that all children are special in their own way.

Available to own in a special edition 3-disc DVD release, LIKE STARS ON EARTH includes a bonus disc of special features that contain audio commentary by Aamir Khan, a panel discussion on children, deleted scenes, trailers, gallery and song selection. The bonus discs also include an exclusive soundtrack with music performed by AAMIR KHAN himself.

Awarded the Filmfare Best Movie of 2008, LIKE STARS ON EARTH will pull at the heartstrings as AAMIR KHAN inspires a classroom full of children, and the audience, with his passion for teaching and discovering the best in everyone.
