Sitaare Zameen Par brings Aamir Khan back in the game
The film's success also signals something bigger; Aamir Khan is back in the game. In an industry that thrives on trends, he's proven that authenticity still wins hearts. With critics raving and audiences returning to theatres, Sitaare Zameen Par is more than just a film, it's a statement.

About Sitaare Zameen Par
Aamir Khan has brought about the idea of special kids in sports and the hurdles that a coach faces in dealing with them. It's a direct remake of the English sports comedy-drama film, Campeones. Though it replicates the original's narrative structure of the Spanish version, but it has a very Indianised set-up understanding the Indian sentiments and the common man's outlook towards specially challenged kids. Sitaare Zameen Par, in fact, sticks it's neck out in this matter. It touches upon the socio-political dynamics in a beautiful way.
One thing that is strikingly good about Sitaare Zameen Par is that you don't need to be a sports movie enthusiast to understand how the plot is going to progress.
