Sitaare Zameen Par

Critics Review

3.50

A wholesome and feel-good slam dunk for inclusion

Aamir Khan stands out as the brash, initially insensitive, and politically incorrect coach. He convincingly portrays a man who evolves while retaining a certain swagger. Genelia Deshmukh is sincere as his wife Suneeta, though her character lacks depth. The ensemble cast�Ashish Pendse, Aroush Datta, Aayush Bhansali, Rishi Shahani, GopiKrishnan K Verma, Rishabh Jain, Vedant Sharma, Simran Mangeshkar, Samvit Desai, and Naman Misra�deserves applause for bringing energy, authenticity, and warmth to the film. Dolly Ahluwalia Tewari, Bijendra Kala, and Gurpal Singh offer solid support. If Taare Zameen Par had the soul, Sitaare Zameen Par brings the spirit. It�s a heartwarming family watch that blends comedy, compassion, and charm, and is definitely worth a trip to the theatre.(more)

Aamir Khan's film is a warm hug, laughter pill for soul

Aamir Khan returns with a tickling feather and a promise: a story for all ages, all kinds, and all shades of normal. Because there's 'sabka apna apna' normal. You don't fear it. You don't shoo it away. Your normal is acceptable - and so is mine.(more)

Aamir Khan's heartwarming film stumbles, then soars to score a basket in the 2nd half

Sitaare Zameen Par is a heartfelt product, meant to be experienced in a packed theatre. The collective laughter, the silent sniffles, and more, enhance the film�s impact. It may not shine as brightly as its predecessor, but these Sitaare light up the screen in their own beautiful way.(more)

Aamir Khan delivers fully committed performance in heart-winning comedy

Aamir is the star who has done the green-lighting and the heavy-lifting and staying the course. But the young adults who try and make the most of their challenges� on a learning curve that never stops, a situation which can be both exhausting and encouraging� are the true 'sitaare' of this film: the one who dyes his hair in rainbow colours, the one who hates having baths because of a childhood trauma, the one who can look at a plane in the air and tell you which route it is flying, the one who is forced to work long hours with low wages, the one who has had a bad experience with previous coaches, the one who wears a helmet and a smart mouth, and the lone girl in this gang, who personifies feisty. Director RS Prasanna and the writers have taken the trouble to show them as real people, with feelings and thoughts, who are what they are because of an accident of an extra chromosome, not objects of pity. It is their guts and their glory.(more)

An emotional drama that appeals to a niche audience

Sitaare Zameen Par manages to appeal to a niche audience with its strong emotional drama and solid performances. However, if you go in expecting a film on the same level as Taare Zameen Par, you might be left slightly disappointed. The film slows down in certain places, which could deter the audience�s attention. However, for those who watch the film with no preconceived expectations, Sitaare Zameen Par will likely be an enjoyable emotional journey.(more)
