Aamir Khan has returned to the big screen with Sitaare Zameen Par after his 2022 debacle Laal Singh Chaddha. The film, which also stars newcomers portraying children with intellectual disabilities, is a heartwarming sports drama. While it had a decent start at the box office, positive reviews and strong word-of-mouth helped the film witness a whopping 85% jump on Day 2.

More about Sitaare Zameen Par
Sitaare Zameen Par is a spiritual sequel to the 2007 superhit Taare Zameen Par, which marked Aamir Khan’s directorial debut. The trailer of the new film struck the right chord with audiences, who are eagerly awaiting more from this heartwarming family entertainer.
The film also stars Genelia Deshmukh, Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar. It is directed by R.S. Prasanna, who previously helmed the barrier-breaking blockbuster Shubh Mangal Saavdhan.
Aamir Khan bets on theatres
Interestingly, Aamir Khan has decided to release Sitaare Zameen Par on YouTube after its theatrical run. Reportedly, Khan plans to introduce a pay-per-view model, breaking away from the conventional “subscribe and stream unlimited” format that most platforms follow.
According to Hollywood Reporter India, a source revealed, “Aamir doesn’t want to release his films directly on streaming after their theatrical run, as it discourages viewers from watching movies on the big screen. That’s also why there’s no streaming logo on the poster of Sitaare Zameen Par.”
