Sitaare Zameen Par song Sar Aankhon Pe Mere: Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh melt hearts in soulful track

The second song from the highly anticipated film Sitaare Zameen Par, Sar Aankhon Pe Mere, has been released, marking another milestone in the promotional campaign leading up to the film's June 20, 2025, theatrical premiere. Arijit Singh and Shariva Parulkar's song serves as an introduction to the film's emotional core and marks the first time Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh appear onscreen together.

Emotional undertones

The song shows both the actors in a pensive mood after an upsetting moment. It's a festive time, but the vibe is gloomy for both of them. Aamir and Genelia look distanced and they don't share a frame as such, indicating that they are on separate paths. In another scene, we see Genelia visibly upset while looking at parents with their kids. This seems to be a crucial point in their relationship, and we have to watch the film to see how it unfolds.

But the soulful voices of Arijit and Shariva do enhance the track, making it soothing to one's ears.

Spiritual successor to Taare Zameen Par

The next film is directed by R. S. Prasanna, who is famous for Shubh Mangal Saavdhan and is said to be a spiritual sequel to the critically praised 2007 film Taare Zameen Par. With a fresh storyline, cast, and tone, Sitaare Zameen Par aims to move the discourse about learning difficulties forward, while the first film focused on the perspective of a child.

The film's trailer, which provided viewers with a glimpse of its comedic and emotionally profound story, had already generated significant buzz. With the release of the song, it seems like the film's marketing campaign is now trying to highlight its emotional and musical aspects. With lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya and music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, the trio's Sar Aankhon Pe Mere centres on love and friendship, and the music video features Khan and Deshmukh's magnetic chemistry.

Ensemble cast introduces fresh talent

An additional ten actors—Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar—make their film debut alongside the main cast. The narrative's emphasis on the ensemble suggests that these young performers are the "rising stars" of the enterprise.

Aparna Purohit of Prime Video and Aamir Khan Productions worked together to make the film. Divy Nidhi Sharma penned the screenplay alongside Ravi Bhagchandka.

The involvement of a big star like Aamir Khan and the film's thematic link to Taare Zameen Par guarantee that Sitaare Zameen Par will garner considerable notice upon its premiere. One of the most anticipated Hindi film releases of 2025, thanks to its stellar cast of newcomers, heartfelt plot, and long-running creative collaborators.
