Twitter Reacts to Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par: How It’s Different from Taare Zameen Par

 Aamir Khan is back on the big screen with his new film Sitaare Zameen Par, which released on June 20, 2025. This movie is being seen as a sequel to his 2007 emotional hit Taare Zameen Par, and fans had high expectations. According to reports, the film made ₹6.9 crore in advance bookings and is expected to earn ₹5–6 crore on the first day. The weekend collection could go up to ₹12 crore.

Following its release, viewers began sharing their opinions on Twitter.

Some were impressed, some had mixed feelings—but one thing is clear: the audience is curious and excited.

What Is Sitaare Zameen Par About?

The movie follows the story of a football coach, played by Aamir Khan, who is asked to train a group of children with Down syndrome. At first, he is unsure and unwilling, but as time goes by, he begins to understand and bond with the children. Slowly, they help him become a better person and coach. The film is inspired by the Spanish movie Campeones (Champions), which has a similar theme of inclusion and personal growth.

Many who watched the film said it made them emotional. Even cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar and author Sudha Murthy praised it. Aamir revealed that Sachin and his wife Anjali requested an early screening as they were traveling on the release date. Sachin shared that the film moved him deeply, bringing both laughter and tears. He appreciated the way it highlighted the importance of sports and how it brings people together.

How Is It Different from Taare Zameen Par?

Taare Zameen Par focused on a young boy with dyslexia and how one teacher changes his life. That film had a deep emotional impact and became a classic.

Sitaare Zameen Par takes the concept forward. It focuses on a group of differently-abled children rather than just one. Aamir Khan plays a very distinct role in this latest film. He’s not soft or kind at first—in fact, he’s rude, angry, and even gets into fights. But the story shows how his life changes through the love and lessons from these children.

In Aamir’s own words, this film is “ten steps ahead” of the original, offering a fresh look at acceptance, growth, and the human spirit.

What Are People Saying on Twitter?

Twitter users had a lot to say after watching the film:

A viewer shared their thoughts, saying, "Just finished watching Sitaare Zameen Par — while it’s based on Champions, the emotions it delivers are truly genuine."

Aamir delivers with sincerity, and the debut actors steal the show. Emotional, uplifting, and worth your time."

Another said, "Aamir Khan is back with a bang, but Genelia is EXCEPTIONALLY well in Sitaare Zameen Par. A very well-made film."

Some pointed out the similarities with Campeones, while others praised the emotional depth and strong performances. A common opinion was that the film touches hearts and shares an important message.

Final Thoughts

Sitaare Zameen Par might be inspired by another film, but it stands out with its unique warmth and emotional depth. It’s not just about a coach or a group of children—it’s about love, acceptance, and how people can change when they open their hearts. With Aamir Khan back in form, and strong reactions from both celebrities and fans, the movie is already making waves.

Whether you loved Taare Zameen Par or are watching this one first, Sitaare Zameen Par is definitely worth your time.
