Directed by RS Prasanna, Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par hit the theatres today. The spiritual sequel of the 2007 classic Taare Zameen Par promises to be a comedy-drama, unlike its predecessor.
Also starring Genelia Deshmukh, it is the official remake of the 2018 Spanish film Champions and centres on a basketball coach who, after being suspended, is assigned community service coaching a team of players with disabilities as they train for a major tournament.
Does it do justice to that promise? Let’s check out what netizens have to say about the film.

Calling it an “easy crowd pleaser with moral lessons”, this netizen acknowledged that the film is indeed enjoyable and hard to dislike. But it does the “extraordinary touch” that audiences have familiarised themselves with Aamir Khan.
#SitaareZameenPar is an enjoyable film. Hard to dislike given the subject. It’s an easy crowd pleaser with moral lessons. I can just end the tweet here to get more reach…. BUT gotta be critical for my own honesty – it lacks the extraordinary touch we associate with great Aamir… pic.twitter.com/583s4bILl9

Another social media person described the film as a “beautiful example” of effective comedy that doesn’t resort to profanity or entendres for laughs.
#SitaareZameenPar is a beautiful example of how effective comedy does not have to resort to double meaning dialogues & profanity for laughs!
Genuinely funny & so wholesome ❤️

Another X user said that although the first half of the film was slow, the second half makes sure you laugh and cry at the same time. Praising Aamir for his performance, he also added that remake factor doesn’t affect much for neutral audiences.
Watched #SitareZameenPar morning show. All i can say that it is beautiful movie . which you all should watch at least one time in a theatre. If you liked chhichhore, 3 idiots and of course #TaareZameenPar then trust you will definitely like Sitare zameen par also

The film marks Aamir’s return to the big screen after a long time. He was last seen in the 2022 Laal Singh Chaddha alongside Kareena Kapoor Khan. After the film, a remake of the Hollywood classic Forrest Gump, failed to make a mark at the box office, Aamir took a break from films.
