About the Film:
Sitaare Zameen Par is positioned as a spiritual sequel to the 2007 classic Taare Zameen Par, where Aamir Khan played a compassionate teacher helping a dyslexic child. However, this time, Khan plays against type.
In Sitaare Zameen Par, he portrays Gulshan, a disgraced basketball coach who is court-mandated to train a group of neurodivergent individuals in the sport. Genelia Deshmukh plays his wife, Sunita, marking her return to a leading Bollywood role after a hiatus.
The film’s heartwarming theme, rooted in inclusion, redemption, and sportsmanship, has resonated with audiences across demographics.
What’s Next for the Film?
With strong weekend numbers and positive audience response, trade analysts believe Sitaare Zameen Par could surpass the ₹100 crore mark in its first 10 days—provided weekday collections hold steady.
The film’s social messaging, combined with Aamir Khan’s enduring stardom, could help sustain momentum, especially with minimal competition at the box office this week.
