Commentary

Opening sequence, "dancing letters" and complex word formations, puts viewer in head of someone who has difficulty reading and writing.

Darsheel's trouble crying, partially necessitated additional shooting for scene that is told going to boarding school.

Test audiences said that film too long, wanted family visit cut out from film, many including film's editor suggested it be cut. Did so, but Aamir had second thoughts. Post-production completed for versions with and without, decided to keep because felt important to show Ishaan going into deep depression.

Script, after winning runs to his parents instead of Ram, but Aamir found too coincidental.
