Back in 2007, Aamir Khan put one of the most well-known and emotional films of Bollywood on the screen, Taare Zameen Par. The film, with Darsheel Safary in the lead, paid attention to problems such as dyslexia, autism, and mental disabilities, spreading the loud message that each child is special in his or her own way. Jump forward to 2025, and fans are now waiting with bated breath for the release of Sitaare Zameen Par, a follow-up that aims to follow the footsteps of its original, with Aamir Khan returning to the silver screen, and a whole new bunch of fresh faces, including Genelia Deshmukh.
Trailer Review: The Buzz and Initial Impressions
The anticipation around Sitaare Zameen Par reached a fever pitch when the film’s trailer was recently presented to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), who awarded it a UA (Universal with Parental Guidance) certificate. Following this screening, actor, writer, and model Kuldeep Gadhvi shared his thoughts on Instagram, which were later re-shared by the film’s co-producer, Ravi Bhagchandka. Gadhvi’s review was glowing, and it seems that the trailer is nothing short of spectacular.

Gadhvi commended the contrast between Aamir Khan’s character, Gulshan, and his earlier role of Nikumbh in Taare Zameen Par. He called the trailer a lively and interesting watch, adding that it offers more comedy than emotion but is able to impress nonetheless. “Aamir Khan has done a fab job,” wrote Gadhvi, continuing that Genelia Deshmukh too has exhibited good performance, and the comeback of Darsheel Safary on screen will surely make fans of the first film jump for joy. The rest of the stars like Brijendra Kala, Rahul Kohli, and Karim Hajee also contribute to the ensemble cast of the film with varied talent.
The Magic of Music and Direction
Gadhvi also pointed out the contribution of the legendary trio, Shankar, Ehsaan, and Loy, whose score gives the trailer an extra layer of depth. The score, as is to be expected, heightens the overall sensibility of the movie and matches its powerful storytelling. The direction of R.S. Prasanna is another highlight, with Gadhvi praising the vibes as “great.” The production values, led by Aamir Khan, Kiran Rao, and Ravi Bhagchandka, are also excellent and help make it an immersive cinematic experience.
A Film for All Ages
One of the interesting facts about Sitaare Zameen Par is that Gadhvi feels the movie will probably appeal more to children than adults. With the nature of the subject matter, which could include themes of education, childhood challenges, and self-improvement, the movie is likely to be heartwarming and entertaining for children. It is yet to be seen, though, how the larger audience will react to this much-awaited sequel.
