Sitaare Zameen Par Movie - An Emotional Roller Coaster
Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par released on June 20, 2025, & quickly became talking point on social media. Netizens praised it as an “emotional roller coaster” that made them “laugh, cry, and clap” in equal measure. The film had a decent opening at box office too, generating around ₹19.5 crore globally on opening day and hitting nearly ₹95 crore by the end of its first weekend.
In a heartfelt post, Taare Zameen Par actor Darsheel Safary said Sitaare Zameen Par left his heart “fuller, softer and happier” bridging a generational connection between the two films and boosting public affection for the new story.
Strong performances: Aamir’s nuanced portrayal of Gulshan Arora and his chemistry with Genelia D’Souza is beautiful to watch. The real stars are the debutant actors with Down Syndrome
Message of inclusion: NDTV, Times of India, Indian Express, and Hindustan Times gave it 3.5/5, applauding its emotional depth and social impact even while noting the premise is familiar.
It’s a simple heartwarming movie with minor flaws such as a slow first half and preachy second half
Sitaare Zameen Par is a remake of Spain’s Campeones (2018). The film keeps its sports-drama core intact - Gulshan, a temperamental assistant basketball coach sentenced to community service, gradually bonds with his neurodivergent team. It emphasizes unity and resilience across both the court and life.
Telugu megastar Mahesh Babu praised the film publicly, saying it’s on par with Aamir’s classics and is designed to “laugh, cry and clap”. Social media buzz including comments like “This film is as important as Taare Zameen Par” and “Blockbuster loading ❤️❤️”- has cemented its relevance and buzz.
