After much anticipation, Aamir Khan’s 2025 film Sitaare Zameen Par has officially released on OTT. A spiritual successor to the beloved Taare Zameen Par, this film brings together sports, humour, and deep emotional moments in a truly heart-touching narrative. Directed by R.S. Prasanna and co-produced by Aamir Khan and Aparna Purohit, the film is not just about basketball — it’s about empathy, transformation, and second chances.
About the Movie
Sitaare Zameen Par follows the story of Gulshan Arora (played by Aamir Khan), a short-tempered and frustrated basketball coach whose career hits rock bottom after a public outburst. As punishment, he is ordered to serve community service — not on the sidelines, but as the coach of a basketball team made up of players with intellectual disabilities. What starts as a reluctant job quickly turns into a life-changing journey.
Initially, Gulshan struggles to understand his new team, dealing with their different needs and learning challenges. But as days pass, bonds are formed. He helps a player overcome his deep-seated fear of bathing and grows close to the team’s new energy booster, Golu Khan. While training for a major Mumbai tournament, Gulshan is also forced to confront his own inner fears, including a lifelong phobia of lifts and unexpected family drama. Eventually, even though the team loses the final match, they emerge as true winners — and so does Gulshan, who discovers a new version of himself through their journey.
