Prasanna, ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ follows the story of a brash basketball coach, Gulshan Arora, played by Aamir Khan. He encounters suspension following his act of hitting the head coach. Not just this, he is also looking at potential jail time owing to a drunk driving incident. Amid his legal troubles, he is assigned community service, wherein he is asked to coach a team of athletes with intellectual disabilities. He is asked to prepare the team for a national basketball tournament. The movie has been garnering love from both critics and audiences alike. TOI has given the film 3.5 stars out of 5, and an excerpt from our review reads - "Aamir Khan stands out as the brash, initially insensitive, and politically incorrect coach. He convincingly portrays a man who evolves while retaining a certain swagger. Genelia Deshmukh is sincere as his wife Suneeta, though her character lacks depth. The ensemble cast—Ashish Pendse, Aroush Datta, Aayush Bhansali, Rishi Shahani, GopiKrishnan K Verma, Rishabh Jain, Vedant Sharma, Simran Mangeshkar, Samvit Desai, and Naman Misra—deserves applause for bringing energy, authenticity, and warmth to the film. Dolly Ahluwalia Tewari, Bijendra Kala, and Gurpal Singh offer solid support."Recently, a special screening of the movie was also held in Delhi, which was attended by none other than the Honourable President of India, Droupadi Murmu. After the screening, the X handle of the President shared - "President Droupadi Murmu watched the film 'Sitaare Zameen Par' at the Rashtrapati Bhavan Cultural Centre. The film, featuring real people with neurodivergent conditions, weaves in the message of diversity, equity and inclusion. Shri Aamir Khan, the producer and lead actor of the film, along with the team behind the film, was also present at the screening."
