Aamir got rave reviews for his sensitive film about a dyslexic school boy who finds expression through his paintings.
The film featured a lot of paintings -- painted by scriptwriter Amole Gupte and his wife Deepa -- but the two paintings that won the prizes in the final climax were painted by artist Samir Mondal.
Here, the actor stands by as Mondal shows him a painting at Mumbai's Jehangir Art Gallery.
