This isn’t a sob story—it’s an empowering one..What moved me most was how the neurodivergent adults are portrayed (and for once by neurodivergent actors) —not with pity or exaggerated kindness, but with something far more beautiful: normalcy.

The music, as in most AK films is splendid - @shankar.mahadevan @ehsaan @loymendonsaofficial @shankarehsaanloy and lyrics by @amitabhbhattacharyaofficial take a bow."

"A big shoutout to @aparnapurohit and @aamirkhanproductions for pulling this off so beautifully..A truly beautiful evening. Go watch Sitaare Zameen Par in a theatre near you—and be ready to have a smile plastered on your face.," she concluded.

Aamir Khan never fails to deliver meaningful cinema! After Taare Zameen Par, I had high expectations from this one. Glad to hear it maintains the same emotional depth while handling neurodivergence with sensitivity. Can't wait to watch it this weekend with family! 🙌

While I appreciate Aamir's efforts, I wish Bollywood would create more original content instead of remakes. We have so many untold Indian stories about neurodivergence that deserve the spotlight. That said, the casting of actual neurodivergent actors is a big step forward!

Just watched it yesterday! The film made me laugh and cry in equal measure. The scene where the team wins their first match had the entire theatre clapping. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy's music is the cherry on top. Aamir Khan productions always sets the bar high for meaningful entertainment.

As someone with a neurodivergent sibling, I'm so happy Bollywood is finally portraying this with dignity. No melodrama, no over-the-top emotions - just normal people living their lives. More power to the entire team! ❤️ Will definitely take my brother to watch this.

I'm curious how they've adapted the Spanish original for Indian audiences. The cultural context matters a lot in such sensitive subjects. From Tisca's review, it seems they've done justice to the material. Aamir's attention to detail is legendary after all!

The fact that they cast neurodivergent actors itself makes this film worth watching. Representation matters! Bollywood needs more films like this that entertain while breaking stereotypes. Aamir Khan proving again why he's called Mr. Perfectionist of Indian cinema.
