After a long wait, Aamir Khan is returning to the big screen with a film that promises to touch hearts all over again. Titled Sitaare Zameen Par, this emotional comedy-drama is all set to release in cinemas on June 20, 2025. And if the name reminds you of Taare Zameen Par, you’re not wrong—this film is a spiritual sequel to that beloved 2007 classic. But this time, the story is different, the message is broader, and the cast includes some truly special stars.
Sitaare Zameen Par Gets 12A Rating By British Censor
Ahead of its global release, Sitaare Zameen Par has been given a 12A rating by the British Censor Board. In simple terms, this means the film is suitable for kids above the age of 12, but children under 12 can still watch it, just as long as an adult is with them.
So if you were wondering whether this is a family-friendly film, the answer is yes. While the story explores some deep emotions and life challenges, it does so in a way that’s warm, hopeful, and easy for younger audiences to connect with, especially with a parent or guardian by their side.
Sitaare Zameen Par Runtime
The film’s runtime is 2 hours and 35 minutes, which makes it slightly shorter than Taare Zameen Par, which was 2 hours and 42 minutes. That means you’ll be in for a wholesome, emotionally engaging ride that doesn’t overstay its welcome.
Given the film’s strong emotional core, some inspiring sports drama, and a touch of humor, this runtime feels just right—not too short, not too long.
Sitaare Zameen Par: Real Inclusion On Screen
Apart from Aamir Khan and Genelia D’Souza, one of the most beautiful things about Sitaare Zameen Par is that it’s not just about neurodivergent individuals—it stars them too. The film features 10 neurodivergent actors in key roles, giving them a space to shine and tell a story that feels genuine and real.
The cast includes Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar. Their presence brings a whole new level of authenticity to the film and marks a much-needed step toward representation in mainstream cinema.
Aamir Khan’s Mother Debut At 90!
Adding another emotional touch to the film is a very personal moment from Aamir Khan’s life. During a shoot for a celebratory wedding scene in the film, Aamir’s 90-year-old mother visited the set. That’s when director R.S. Prasanna came up with a sweet idea—he suggested that Aamir ask his mom to be a part of the scene.
Initially unsure if she would agree, Aamir gently brought it up with her, and to his surprise, she said yes! She ended up appearing in a few shots during the sequence, making this not just a special moment for the film but a cherished memory for Aamir Khan and his family. As he said with pride, “It’s the only film of mine that she has ever been a part of.”
What Is Sitaare Zameen Par All About?
This time around, Aamir Khan plays a disgraced basketball coach who is sentenced to community service after a DUI (driving under the influence). His new role? Coaching a team of neurodivergent youngsters. Over time, what begins as a kind of discipline becomes a voyage of transformation for the team and the coach.
The film isn’t just about basketball or redemption. It’s about understanding differences, breaking barriers, and learning how to connect beyond labels. Genelia Deshmukh plays a significant role in the film, and together, the cast delivers a story that feels warm, humorous, and deeply human.
Directed by R.S. Prasanna and produced by Aamir Khan, the film blends sports, emotion, and life lessons in a way that feels both entertaining and meaningful.
Why You Should Watch Sitaare Zameen Par
If you loved Taare Zameen Par, Sitaare Zameen Par will likely strike a similar emotional chord—but this time, with fresh faces, a different setting, and a story about inclusion and second chances. It’s a reminder that everyone deserves a shot on the field, in life, and in society.
So whether you’re a long-time Aamir Khan fan or someone who loves cinema with heart, Sitaare Zameen Par might just be the most emotionally rewarding watch of the year.
Save the date: June 20, 2025. And maybe bring a few tissues.
