Sitaare Zameen Par

Sitaare Zameen Par is a feel-good family entertainer that delivers its share of laughter, warmth, and emotional moments. The film keeps you engaged throughout - you hardly realize how time flies while watching it. It's filled with light-hearted scenes that bring smiles, along with a few touching moments that add depth to the experience.

While the movie is enjoyable, it doesn't break new ground in terms of storytelling. The plot is decent, but not particularly unique or emotionally stirring. If you're expecting the same level of emotional impact or brilliance as Taare Zameen Par, this one may fall short. That said, it still manages to hold its own as a breezy, engaging watch.

The performances are good across the board. The actors do justice to their roles, bringing charm and sincerity to their characters. However, none of the performances truly stand out as exceptional or memorable. It's a film that stays within its comfort zone - entertaining without aiming too high.

Overall, Sitaare Zameen Par is a solid one-time watch with a basic story. It's perfect for a relaxed family movie night, where you're looking for something light, enjoyable, and uplifting. While it may not stay with you long after the credits roll, it's certainly worth a watch for its positive vibe and heartfelt moments.

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.

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.

Amir is back!! With a forgettable saga of events which are on a same tone and same level,

Movie hardly any change in the pace or goosebump moments. Emotions run dry by the second half of the movie when you are already accustomed to the topic and expect it to do far greater than it seems to achieve. Topic was strong, story was weak. Acting was above average with lot of similarity from it's predecessor TzP and hence that also falls short of giving you your moneys worth.

Overall, avoid if you are a rare movie watcher in theatres. For the ones who likes to be there in cinema halls and can sustain average content should watch once at least. Life won't change if you miss out on this one though.

I wasn't disappointed, but the film could have been better given Aamir's standards.

Both halves are cute and short, with no real stakes or conflict, making it a harmless watch if you buy the simple setup in the beginning.

However, the premise-community service for DUI and focus on intellectually disabled people-feels unrealistic in India, making it hard to connect.

The story wasn't adapted enough for the local context. Aamir is good, Genelia is refreshing, but their subplot drags.

Basketball as the central sport adds to the foreign feel.

Overall, it's a decent, simple film-watchable, but not memorable.
