Advertisemen

Aamir Khan’s next big film, Sitaare Zameen Par, is hitting theaters on June 20, 2025, and it’s already got fans buzzing. This comedy-drama, a spiritual follow-up to the beloved Taare Zameen Par (2007), just got a 12A rating from the British Censor Board and clocks in at a solid 2 hours and 35 minutes. Here’s the lowdown on what that means for this heartwarming flick starring Aamir Khan, Genelia Deshmukh, and a talented cast of 10 neurodivergent newcomers.

The 12A rating means it’s good for anyone 12 and up, but younger kids can tag along with an adult. It’s a heads-up that the movie might touch on some heavier themes or have mild language—nothing too wild, but enough to keep parents in the loop. Since Sitaare Zameen Par follows a basketball coach training a team of intellectually disabled players, expect a mix of laughs and deeper moments about inclusivity and mental health that hit just the right balance.

At 2 hours and 35 minutes, the film’s got room to breathe, letting director R.S. Prasanna tell a story that’s equal parts funny and heartfelt. Unlike the tearjerker vibes of Taare Zameen Par, this one leans hard into comedy while still packing an emotional punch. The trailer’s already a hit, racking up over 50 million views, showing Aamir as Gulshan, a cranky coach who finds his spark through his team. Plus, there are cool cameos from Aamir’s 90-year-old mom, Zeenat Khan, his sister, and even a reunion with Taare Zameen Par’s Darsheel Safary.

The cast is a big draw, with new faces like Aroush Datta and Gopi Krishna Varma shining alongside Genelia Deshmukh. Fans are loving the inclusive vibe, and with its blend of humor and heart, Sitaare Zameen Par is shaping up to be a total crowd-pleaser. Grab your tickets for June 20—this one’s gonna be a fun ride!
