Unconventional paths led this Aamir Khan production to Sony LIV. Khan tried out a direct-to-digital pay-per-view (PPV) approach after the film's theatrical release, which resulted in around ₹266 crore in worldwide earnings. The superstar producer said that he wanted to reach people who couldn't easily go to the movies, so he released the film on YouTube in August 2025 for a small price.

Why is the Sony LIV release a major milestone for Sitaare Zameen Par?

With the announcement on March 9, 2026, the movie enters the wider streaming environment, marking the end of its exclusivity time. As an official remake of the 2018 Spanish smash Campeones Sitaare Zameen Par is sure to appeal to Sony LIV's target demographic of family-friendly, message-driven content lovers and increase the platform's viewership.

The film covers the career of boisterous and fiery basketball coach Gulshan Arora (Aamir Khan). Following his community service order stemming from a drunk driving conviction, Gulshan finds himself faced with the seemingly insurmountable challenge of preparing a basketball team comprised entirely of neurodivergent athletes to compete at a national level.

How does the story transform the protagonist’s perspective?

What starts out as a coach's reluctance and frustration with a duty turns into a life-changing lesson. As Gulshan faces the difficulties faced by his new staff, which is diverse in outlook and energy, he comes to terms with the fact that his biases were his greatest weakness. In the end, the players become his greatest mentors, and the story brilliantly portrays their resiliency, camaraderie, and contagious delight.

Critics have lauded R. S. Prasanna's (Shubh Mangal Saavdhan) film for its humorous and compassionate portrayal of neurodiversity. Divy Nidhi Sharma skilfully crafts a script that combines comic moments with profound emotional exploration.
