Soaked in sweetness

Borrowing the tone from the original, ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ chooses to stay on the side of laughter, and it’s a wise decision, because what you can convey to the average person through laughs sometimes has more weight than wrung-out-tears.

Sitaare Zameen Par—marketed as the spiritual sequel to Aamir Khan’s 2007 hit Taare Zameen Par—is a shoddily made, preachy, borderline insensitive film with a noble mission.

If you need Aamir Khan to manipulate you into being a good person, maybe you’re beyond redemption.
