I really loved the movie . It has everything a good movie should have . The scene and direction are on point , no offending jokes a little comedy with good messages and good plot. The plot was completely on plot no necessary scene . It is a good combo of emotions and important messages. It serves its purpose and that too very smoothly. I watched the whole movie with a little smile on face . The climax has my heart , it says a lot with just little words. I was satisfied with my money spend , it a good movie to watch with family on weekend, I didn't regret a penny spend in the ticket. If you Want a little hearted comedy with plot you should go for it.
Yesterday I watched Sitare Zameen Par. The movie delivers a good message, but honestly, it didn't feel extraordinary to me. The concept was meaningful, but the emotional depth was missing at many points.
Frankly, I didn't enjoy Aamir Khan's acting this time. His performance felt flat, and in scenes where emotions should have touched the heart, they somehow failed to create that strong impact. If Aamir had delivered a more powerful performance, many moments could have been much more moving.
Interestingly, while watching, I had a strange feeling - it felt like I saw glimpses of old Genelia D'Souza in the film. The grace, innocence, and effortless charm reminded me of her earlier work. That brief emotional connection touched my heart more than anything else in the movie.
Overall, Sitare Zameen Par has a good intention and carries a message, but it lacked the emotional pull for me. A stronger lead performance could have made it much more memorable.

Sitaare Zameen Par is an absolute heart-stealer! As an Aamir Khan admirer, I went in with sky-high expectations, and I wasn't disappoint! Film is funny, emotional, and so inspiring! Aamir Khan's portrayal of Gulshan is so good! He plays a confident but flawed basketball coach who has to train a group of neurodivergent players. At first, he's like, "why me?" but soon he grows to love his team, calling them "my stars!" His journey feels so real and heartfelt. He's got that classic Aamir charm but with a raw, relatable edge. Each one sitaares are real MVPs. You'll totally love Satbir, Golu, Hargovind, and the whole team! Their scenes are so fun, making you laugh hard one moment and cry the next. The supporting cast, like Genelia, Dolly Ahluwalia and Brijendra Kala, adds such warmth and fun. The story, a remake of Champions, feels fresh for Bollywood, tackling inclusion with a big heart without being preachy. Sure, the second half drags a tiny bit, and it doesn't hit the Taare Zameen Par level of perfection (what could?!), but it's such a feel-good ride. It's like a warm hug that reminds you everyone's normal is beautiful. If you don't go to the theatre expecting TZP 2 then you will enjoy it more. Mr. Perfectionist is finally back after years.
Rating - 3.5/5
A feel good drama driven by humour giving some beautiful insights on life.
The plot of the story revolves around a Basketball coach who has to train a group of adults with down syndrome and how his interaction with them changes his attitude towards life and others around him.
Good writing by Divy Sharma well executed by R S Prasanna perfectly blending humour and fun without drifting away from the core storyline emotionally lifting the audience through some valuable and thoughtful virtues on life. The first half was more fun oriented while the latter half was more emotionally moving closely clinging to humour. Hats off to the casting directors for bringing the ideal talents to the showreel.
Brilliant performance by Aamir Khan showing the variations in the character precisely. The director has effortlessly pulled out the relationship dynamics and combo with Genelia and her performances was so charming and matured. Impressive performances by Dolly Ahluwalia,Naman Mishra,Ayush Bhansali, Gopikrishnan Verma, Simran, Rishi Shahabi & Gurpal Singh.
Good music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and exceptional background score by Ram Sampath adding more depth and feel to the emotional sequences. Kudos to the editor Charu for giving a feel good emotional entertainer.
A good one time watch movie with incredible performances leaving a good message.

How does Gulshan own up to his mistakes and start taking responsibility, starting with his team and what impact do these bunch have on him, forms rest of the story.
I liked the Spanish original and not so much it's sequel or even the American remake. I was skeptical about watching this loyal remake, fearing I wouldn't be able to appreciate in comparison with the original. However, R. S. Prasanna and Divy Nidhi Sharma have done a phenomenal job in adapting the film and especially the light hearted humor remain the best thing about this film. Next, it is the solid casting which does the trick and it is easy to connect to all these characters. R. S. Prasanna strikes a superb balance between humor and emotional scenes though it does get preachy a lot. With Aamir in the forefront, there was no chance of them going wrong with the remake. His honest performance is just too good and his comic timing is impeccable. I would rate it leniently solely because I ended up enjoying this as much as I enjoyed the original and that alone deserves the applause.
