Sitaare Zameen Par Movie Review, Rating and Release Live Updates: Aamir Khan film has reportedly hit over 6000 screens in India.Sitaare Zameen Par Movie Review, Rating and Release Live Updates: Sitaare Zameen Par serves as a spiritual sequel to the beloved Taare Zameen Par and is officially a remake of the acclaimed 2018 Spanish film Champions. The story centers on Gulshan, a suspended basketball coach played by Aamir Khan, who is sentenced to community service. His task is to coach a team of specially abled players and prepare them for a major tournament. In an interview, Aamir described Gulshan as “a very rude and politically incorrect character”, someone who insults nearly everyone around him. Yet, the film’s heart lies in the transformative journey this coach undertakes. Through his interactions with the ten players, some of whom have Down syndrome, autism, Gulshan learns what it truly means to be a good human being.Reflecting on the film’s themes, Aamir said that Sitaare Zameen Par advances the inclusivity conversation “ten steps ahead” of Taare Zameen Par. Unlike its predecessor, which was a serious drama, this new film embraces comedy, using humor as a vehicle to tackle complex social issues. Alongside Aamir, the film features Genelia Deshmukh as Gulshan’s love interest. Genelia has shared in multiple interviews that she auditioned several times before landing the role, underscoring the project’s demanding casting process. One of the film’s standout aspects is the casting of real individuals with special needs as the team’s players. Both Aamir and director RS Prasanna were committed to authentic representation, aiming to bring genuine voices and experiences to the screen.Also Read | Aamir Khan rejects Rs 120 crore OTT deal for Sitaare Zameen Par; stands firm on 9 am FDFS, fair ticket rates: ‘No blockbuster pricing’Interestingly, Aamir Khan initially declined the project. Following the disappointing box office performance of Laal Singh Chaddha, he had planned a hiatus to focus on family life and intended to only produce the film under his banner, with another actor in the lead. However, the powerful and emotionally resonant script ultimately convinced him to step back in front of the camera. In a deliberate move to prioritize theatrical viewing, Aamir has opted not to sell the film’s rights to any major streaming platform before its theatrical run concludes. He has emphasized his desire for audiences to experience the film first on the big screen.Originally slated for a December release in 2024, Sitaare Zameen Par was delayed to summer 2025 as Aamir remained deeply involved in post-production, refining the film to meet his high standards. Like Taare Zameen Par, the film’s music is composed by the renowned trio Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy, with lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya. The background score is crafted by Ram Sampath, a frequent collaborator with Aamir Khan Productions. Industry trackers report that the film will be screened in over 6,000 shows across India.Live BlogAhead of its release, Sitaare Zameen Par faced challenges with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Initially, the board suggested several cuts, which Aamir Khan found unacceptable. Following these concerns, the Revising Committee, chaired by theatre veteran Waman Kendre, reviewed the film. They recommended changes including replacing the terms “Michael Jackson” with “Lovebirds” and “Business Woman” with “Business Person,” along with adding a quote from Prime Minister Narendra Modi after the opening disclaimer. After these modifications, the CBFC granted Sitaare Zameen Par a U/A (13+) certification.Click here to follow Screen Digital on YouTube and stay updated with the latest from the world of cinema.© IE Online Media Services Pvt LtdTags:Aamir KhanSitaare Zameen Par
