In her review for Outlook India, Sakshi Salil Chavan gave Sitaare Zameen Par 2.5 out of 5 stars. She wrote, "Aamir Khan’s genius lies in his intuitive grasp of what resonates in the theatre. The jolting power of a Ram Sampath soundtrack or the lightly offensive comedy, sewn together with well-intended yet overstated moralistic jargon, does wonders. While a film like Sitaare Zameen Par, directed by RS Prasanna, establishes itself as a remake of the Spanish film Champions (2018), it has been moulded to blend well within the Indian context, specifically its censor board restrictions."
She added, "PM Modi’s quote before the disclaimers, or the ridiculous CBFC revisions ostensibly designed to safeguard the sanctity of “businesswomen” and even more, the “lotus”— seem entirely outdated."
Sitaare Zameen Par has been directed by RS Prasanna. It also stars Genelia Deshmukh, Brijendra Kala, Dolly Ahluwalia and 10 debutant neurodivergent actors.
