The much-anticipated trailer for Aamir Khan’s “Sitare Zameen Par” dropped today and can be watched on YouTube. After Lal Sing Chadha, this is the first film of Aamir Khan in which he appears and gains wide recognition from the audience because Sitare Zameen Par is going to touch social issues. Even Naga Chaitanya, the Aamir co-star in Lal Sing Chadda, shared the trailer of Sitare Zameen par on Twitter.
Here is the Official Sitare Zameen Part Trailer
After watching the trailer, it is clear that the movie is all about a basketball coach helping the intellectually disabled players. The trailer reveals breathtaking visuals of intense training sequences and emotional confrontations that hint at a story about perseverance against all odds.
However, within hours of the trailer’s release, social media erupted with comparisons to the recently released sports drama “Champion.” Netizens have quickly pointed out similarities between the two films—both feature a similar story, sports as a metaphor for life’s challenges, and mentorship relationships.
Even a few X users mentioned that not only the movie but also the whole trailer of Sitar Zameen Par is copied from the 2023 Hollywood film Champion.
“Just watched the #SitareZameenPar trailer and can’t help but notice how much it reminds me of Champion. Seems like Bollywood has found its new success formula,” tweeted a user by a X user.
Industry insiders reveal that “Sitare Zameen Par” faced numerous production challenges, with shooting delayed multiple times and even trailer release timing because of ongoing India-Pakistan conflicts.
Will It Match the Success of ‘Taare Zameen Par’?
The title’s obvious nod to Aamir Khan’s 2007 classic “Taare Zameen Par” has raised expectations even higher. That film, which dealt with dyslexia and educational pressures, remains one of Khan’s most critically acclaimed works.
Although Sitare Zameen Par is not a direct sequel of 2007’s Taare Zameen Par, it has a similar concept but with a completely different storyline and even the cast, except for a few faces, such as Aamir Khan.
Release Date and Box Office Predictions
“Sitare Zameen Par“, an upcoming 2025 Hindi film, is slated for a nationwide release on June 20th, 2025, strategically positioned to capitalize on the summer vacation period when family audiences typically flock to theaters.
Early box office predictions suggest an opening weekend in the range of ₹35-40 crore, with strong potential for word-of-mouth growth if the film delivers on the promise of its trailer.
Public Reaction: The Verdict So Far
The initial public reaction has been overwhelmingly positive, with the trailer’s emotional moments receiving particular praise. Parents especially seem drawn to the film’s apparent message about nurturing children’s talents regardless of background or resources.
“SitaareZameenPar trailer offers fun & heartwarming moments, hinting at an uplifting story. However, it seems to lack the emotional depth such a theme requires. Hopefully, the film delivers the impact which #SitaareZameenPartrailer couldnt,” wrote Twitter user @MovieReviews_Hub
Whether “Sitare Zameen Par” will stand apart from “Champion” or be viewed as part of a emerging trend of sports-centered inspirational films remains to be seen. What’s clear is that Aamir Khan has once again tapped into a narrative that touches hearts across generations—and whether the film could do the same as what was done by Taare Zameen Par, all depends on the audience who can’t wait to see more when the film releases next month.
