Sitaare Zameen Par review: Aamir Khan's film is a warm hug, laughter pill for soul
There's something about 'Sitaare Zameen par' that makes you believe in the inherent goodness of the world. That there's still light at the end of the tunnel. That, after all the darkness, you can still find the brighter side. And that being kind, hopeful, and having a heart full of love and laughter are still among humanity's greatest Aamir Khan announced he was making a spiritual sequel to his 2007 film 'Taare Zameen Par', we didn't know just how closely it would echo the brilliance of the previous film. While it may not have the same heart-wrenching emotional pull as 'Taare Zameen Par', this film makes you laugh and deeply resonate with the idea it aims to its core, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' is a sports drama where a selfish, emotionally unavailable basketball coach, Gulshan (Aamir Khan), is forced to train a group of neurodivergent children. Initially, he finds the task impossible. He belittles them, genuinely believing they are a bunch of underdeveloped children who will never achieve "normalcy". He even compares them to 'naachte hue baraati' - wedding guests dancing without care or coordination. From the outside, Gulshan's life seems perfect. But look closer, and it's in complete disarray. His marriage is falling apart. He's been suspended for slapping the head coach of Delhi's basketball team in public. He hasn't yet realised that his real opponent is within - that he must confront his own demons to set his life right. And yet, when he begins to try, change begins to show. As he grows close to Team Sitaare and works with them to reach the finals of a tournament, transformation an underdog story. Gulshan's journey of emotional awakening is simple - and extremely funny. Director RS Prasanna injects a sense of unlikely fun throughout the film. Every joke lands. Every emotional beat feels organic. Aamir Khan's impeccable expressions never miss the mark. Honestly, while you might go in expecting eyes to well up like they did during 'TZP', this one surprises you with how light-hearted, warm, and genuinely funny it only gripe with 'Sitaare Zameen Par' is its runtime - at two hours and 39 minutes, the film drags, particularly in the second half. Tighter editing and trimming a few scenes would have made it far more 'Sitaare Zameen Par', Khan urges you to live fearlessly, carrying kindness in your heart. His trademark arched eyebrows and self-pitying glances offer glimpses into a man in the process of self-discovery. And that's something you can't take away from Khan - his protagonists often push you to be a better person. Yes, they might get preachy on the way, but more often than not, they bring you home. There's a quiet sense of victory by the end. You might be facing the weakest moment of your life - down, humiliated, hopeless - but Khan's films tell you to give it one more shot and find joy wherever you are in life. That, perhaps, is the greatest strength of 'Sitaare Zameen Par'.advertisementThe film gently nudges you to get up, smell the coffee again, pluck the colourful flowers, greet the rising sun, and simply try one more beauty of 'Sitaare Zameen Par' lies in the fact that it isn't trying to be anything it's not. There are no hidden metaphors or layered messages to decode. It is what it is - not a flawless portrayal of emotion, but a story with its heart in the right place. And oh, when it makes you laugh, it really makes you laugh. It puts to shame all those so-called comedies built on crass humour and sexist Kala and Dolly Ahluwalia are an absolute treat. Ashish Pendse, Aroush Datta, Aayush Bhansali, Rishi Shahani, GopiKrishnan K Verma, Rishabh Jain, Vedant Sharma, Simran Mangeshkar, Samvit Desai, and Naman Misra form a starry team around Khan - perhaps the best supporting cast he's ever had. While Khan's performance remains effortless and charismatic, these children elevate the film with warmth and Zameen Par' is a well-intentioned, extremely funny, family film. It doesn't rely on cheap laughs, nor does it belittle anyone to make a point. Genelia D'Souza as Suneeta is a refreshing presence, playing a role her age - a real woman who gives her emotionally confused husband multiple chances to align their don't need any preparation to watch this film - it comes easily to you. One moment you are seated, and the next, you are rolling down in laughter. The humour is its USP; the performances are its 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. IN THIS STORY#Aamir Khan

Sitaare Zameen Par movie review: Aamir Khan delivers fully committed performance in heart-winning comedy
Sitaare Zameen Par Movie Review & Rating: An insensitive, full-of-himself basketball coach, suspended from his job, finds himself doing community service: in three months he has to shape a group of young adults, largely with Down Syndrome, into a team that is capable of participating in tournaments. Based on the 2018 Spanish film Campeones, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' adopts the original's determinedly cheery vein to win its matches; in the process, it also wins our hearts. Gulshan (Aamir Khan) is the guy with an attitude problem, and he uses it to make everyone around him unhappy. His wife Sunita (Genelia d'Souza) wants a baby. He doesn't. His senior coach wants compliance. Gulshan behaves badly. A drunk driving incident leads him, reluctance and truculence firmly in place, to a vocational centre for people with special needs. Where he encounters a group of spirited youngsters who challenge his idea of 'yeh bechaare bachche': Satbir, Guddu, Bantu, Hargovind, Sharmaji, Lotus, Raju, Kareem, Sunil, Golu are all young people with specific personality quirks which go beyond their facial Downs distinctiveness, often unclear vocalisation and other limitations which are part of the autism spectrum. These are young people who have a sense of self, and fun, and slowly but surely, Gulshan finds himself being drawn into their circle, and what started as a punishment becomes pure affection. This film wouldn't have worked as well as it does if Aamir hadn't been fully committed to putting himself out there as a hero-who-is-a-jerk, letting us walk past the annoyingly noble Lal Singh Chadha character which never hit any of its marks. One of Aamir's strengths is to play a regular, flawed guy who learns the error of his ways –yes, 'Dil Chahta Hai' is also part of this pantheon– and Gulshan is a welcome addition. How the insufferable Gulshan finds a better side of himself, replacing the smirk with a smile, is a big part of 'Sitaare Zameen Par': you can call that out for what it is, but you can also see how a star can power a story like this, in the way it platforms and makes visible those who live with disability. It teeters very close to becoming an Aamir Khan vehicle– look, look, I am not irredeemable, even if I start out by calling these adults 'paagal' and 'mental', so of a piece with of how society at large views 'differentness' –but it manages to strike a balance by letting it be a film about the neurodivergent young people who may not lead the narrative but have an equal share in it. To make a film revolving around intellectual disability is fraught with risk. If you make people cry, people within the community can accuse the filmmakers of being miserabilist ; if you make them laugh, you can be charged with making light of a tough situation. Borrowing the tone from the original, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' chooses to stay on the side of laughter, and it's a wise decision, because what you can convey to the average person through laughs sometimes has more weight than wrung-out-tears. The last time I watched an effective film showcasing a character with Downs was Nikhil Pherwani's 'Ahaan' which should have been watched by more people; 'Sitaare' has the starry heft to go out far and wide, and I'm happy that it's more feel-good than feel-bad. Watch Sitaare Zameen Par Movie trailer here: Because, make no mistake, this is a film whose express intention is to normalise 'everyone's normal'. It doesn't shy away from being message-y –sab ka apna apna normal hota hai—but it is not, praise be, preachy. It is here to tell us that parents and caregivers who live with youngsters with Downs (autism is also mentioned in a couple of places, which is fine because one of the youngsters in the film has Aspergers Syndrome, but in one startlingly misleading instance, a character mentions 'invisible autism': what's that?) are allergic, and rightly so, to the word 'bechaara': the need of the hour has always been acceptance, not pity. Because acceptance means taking collective responsibility for those who are 'different', not off-hand pity which can be brought out and stuffed back inside when the occasion arises. The 2007 'Taare Zameen Par' brought dyslexia into the forefront, with Aamir playing a teacher who coaxes a near-suicidal student out of the hole he's dug himself into. 'Sitaare' is a near-reprisal, but also a neat flip, in the way the teacher becomes the taught. Which is not to say that 'Sitaare' doesn't have flaws. In some parts, the explanations become a bit stage-y, even though Gurpal Singh's character brings a lovely restrained emotional core to the man who runs the remedial centre; in other bits, the humour is heavy-handed. Occasionally, the film flattens. But none of these are deal-breakers. It sticks to its middle-of-the-road story-telling without trying for any sophistication which would have been wrong for this film, and keeps drama to a minimum, or let's say as much as it can in a Bollywood film. A sub-thread, featuring Dolly Ahluwalia as Gulshan's Lajpat-Nagar-ki-mummyji and her soft spot, played by Brijendra Kala, is entertaining enough to run away with the film; it circles back to our sporty gang just in time. It's good to see Genelia d'Souza back after a gap, even though her wobbly Hindi diction distracts you from thinking of her as a Dilli girl. 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. Sitaare Zameen Par Movie cast: Aamir Khan, Genelia D'Souza, Gurpal Singh, Gopi Krishna Varma, Aroush Dutta, Vedant Sharma, Naman Mishra, Rishabh Jain, Rishi Sahani, Ashish Pendse, Samvit Desai, Ayush Bhansali, Simran Mangeshkar, Dolly Ahluwalia, Brijendra Kala Sitaare Zameen Par Movie director: R S Prasanna Sitaare Zameen Par Movie rating: 3.5 stars
