'The true 'sitaares' of this film are the children — absolutely phenomenal performances that steal your heart and never let go,' he added. Calling Aamir Bollywood's finest actor, he added, 'Aamir Khan once again proves why he's one of the finest actors this country has ever seen. His performance is deeply layered, incredibly nuanced, and profoundly moving.' Praising his better half, Riteish wrote, '@geneliad is pure magic on screen. She lights up every frame with her presence — her eyes say everything, and I say this not just as a husband, but as a genuine fan of her craft.'

'Sitaare is all heart! What stayed with me is how gently and powerfully the film establishes the idea that everyone's normal is different. This isn't a sob story-it's an empowering moved me most was how the neurodivergent adults are portrayed (and for once by neurodivergent actors) -not with pity or exaggerated kindness, but with something far more beautiful: normalcy. Everyday, natural, joyous normalcy. Like anyone else. And that's what makes this film truly special,' she penned. An official remake of the 2018 Spanish film 'Champions', 'Sitaare Zameen Par' reached the cinema halls on June 20th this year. Director R.S.
