Watched #SitareZameenPar morning show. All I can say is that it is a beautiful movie that everyone should see at least once in a theatre. If you liked Chhichhore, 3 Idiots, and of course #TaareZameenPar, then trust me, you will definitely enjoy Sitaare Zameen Par as well.

Overall, "Sitaare Zameen Par" is a very boring movie that doesn't live up to its potential. With a more engaging storyline and better direction, it could have been a great film. Unfortunately, it falls short in its current form.

Despite a slow start at the box office and disappointing advance ticket sales, film analyst Atul Mohan remains hopeful. He noted that Aamir Khan's films typically begin slowly but gain momentum through positive word of mouth. He believes that Sitaare Zameen Par could still perform well if it receives favorable reviews.
Aamir Khan also turned down a substantial offer of Rs 120 crore from a streaming service for the film's OTT rights. Analysts suggest that if the film does not attract more viewers, Aamir could face significant financial losses.
