Sitaare Zameen Par First Review: ‘It Made Us Cry…’


Bollywood star Aamir Khan is currently promoting his new sports comedy-drama movie Sitaare Zameen Par. He recently held a special screening of the film. A video has come out showing Aamir at a theatre, where he spoke with the audience. People in the video are seen praising the movie and sharing their positive thoughts about it.

After the movie Sitaare Zameen Par was shown, Aamir Khan talked to the audience to hear their thoughts. One person said, “You handled the sensitive parts very well. Great job to the writer, director, and for the dialogues.” Aamir answered, “This is an important issue for everyone.”

Another person said, “After Taare Zameen Par, a very good film has come to theatres after a big gap. There have been movies that came after that, but this will change perceptions.”

One of the viewers, who works at the Muskan Foundation, which helps children with special needs by giving them special education and therapy was impressed and said, “Very well kept and captured messages. I really appreciate it.”

Someone else said, “Last twist was also great. You made us cry at that point. Beautifully made film.”

In the video, Aamir talked about how the actors with special needs really enjoyed being on set. He said that usually, there are some disagreements between creative people while making a movie, but this time, there were none at all. He also said that working with the differently abled children felt no different from working with anyone else.

About The Movie

‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ is the Hindi adaptation of the popular Spanish Film Champions (2018). Directed by R.S. Prasanna (Shubh Mangal Saavdhan), the film traces a sports team coached by individuals with intellectual disabilities and reiterates themes of inclusion and guidance. Besides showcasing new fresh faces, the film subtly references Aamir’s classic Taare Zameen Par (2007) with a cameo appearance by Darsheel Safary.

The shoot was wrapped up in mid-2024, and it will hit theaters on June 20, 2025. Although Sitaare Zameen Par is Aamir’s third film outing after Salaam Venky and Laal Singh Chaddha, he asserts that the depth of the story and the scope for artistic expression are what led him back.
