10. His movies are always Inspiring Rang De Basanti Impact “Change the society, by being a part of the society, not outside it” Rang De Basanti had a noticeable impact on Indian society. A study of bloggers behavioral patterns during the first month of the film's release revealed a significant increase in public ire towards government and politicians for constantly being mired in corruption and bureaucracy and their inefficiency in providing basic amenities. Besides instigating political thought and discussions, it evoked social awakening for many.

11. Public Opinion “A must see for young India” “More than a wake-up call, A thought provoking movie for our times” “Clearly an awakening movie” “The Most Revolutionary Movie ever made in India….” “A generation has truly awakened!!!” “A Different look at Patriotism…” “No words ...simply best”

12. How Taare Zameen Par changed the face of education in India On December 31, CBSE granted extra time to special children during examinations. Special children - visually impaired, physically challenged and dyslexic students. Many children like Ishaan, who faced such kind of abnormalities and had just a big question(?) started feeling secure that like Ishaan they can also get a solution.

13. PUBLIC OPINION ON AMIR KHAN HE IS A LONE RIDER IN A LONG ROUTE. ACCEPTS EVERY CHALENGES COMES ON HIM. AMIR KHAN IS A NATURAL ACTOR. DO ALL HIS FILM WITH DEDICATION.
