A Bollywood fan on X shared Sitaare Zameen Par's review and praised Aamir Khan for investing his time and money in "bold & risky" film like Sitaare Zameen Par. "#SitaareZameenPar touches you, makes you question the way you think. It makes you laugh out loud, makes your eyes well up & gives you hope. It's incredibly reassuring that a superstar like #AamirKhan would put his time, money & face to make something that's this bold & risky," read the tweet.

Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par is likely to rely on positive word of mouth to score big at box office as the film could manage an advance booking of 46,000 tickets in national multiplex chains i.e. PVR INOX and Cinepolis. The advance booking trend is below the expectations and certainly not what one expects from a movie led by a superstar.

Going by the advance booking, SZP is gearing up to have an opening day business of around Rs 8 crore.

As Aamir Khan gears up to treat the Hindi cinema lovers with his latest heartwarming film Sitaare Zameen Par, the superstar blessed the social media feed of fans with something special.

The Housefull 5 actor said, “I have seen it. What an extraordinary movie. What an extraordinary film. I am proud of the film. I am proud of the way Aamir and Genelia have performed. The way the film is, and I am also proud of the fact, as you need a lot of guts to make a film like this, on this subject. And Prasanna was brilliant. Fantastic.”

Multiplex Association of India (MAI) has praised Aamir Khan for releasing his latest film exclusively in theaters. As per TOI, MAI President Kamal Gianchandani praised superstar for his vision in an official statement.

“Aamir Khan has always put the audience first. His decision to bring Sitaare Zameen Par exclusively to theatres is a powerful message — that cinemas remain the heart of immersive, community-driven storytelling," the statement read.

Pinkvilla has reviewed Sitaare Zameen Par and has given it 3.5 stars. As per the reviewer, the film touches your heart and works like a soothing balm to one’s chaotic soul. 

The sequel to Taare Zameen Par resonates deeply with the emotional undercurrents of today’s society and thus making for a thought provoking cinema for everyone in the audience.

Sitaare Zameen Par which is being released in India by PVR Pictures is expected to get a wide release in 3250 screens. Earlier, the plans were to give it a limited release on 1000 to 1500 screens, however things shaped up differently last minute.

Well, we hope the wide release of the Aamir Khan led film is just beginning of its glorious run at the box office.
