Sitaare Zameen Par, starring Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh, is set to release on June 20, 2025.
Actor Riteish Deshmukh, Genelia’s husband, praised the film after an early viewing, calling it "extraordinary" and appreciating the performances. He also said it takes courage to make a film like this on such a sensitive subject.
However, despite these compliments, there is a surprising lack of buzz across India — not just in Bollywood, but in any language or region. This has shocked many in the industry.
Some believe the weak response is because the film feels like a mix of Taare Zameen Par, Dangal, and Lagaan, creating a blend that lacks freshness.
The film’s advance bookings are average. Aamir Khan's presence usually guarantees a strong opening, but if Sitaare Zameen Par earns less than Rs 10 crore on day one, it may be seen as a major disappointment.
