Their presence has added an honest and refreshing layer to the film. Facing fresh competition Despite its strong run, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' is not without challenges. Many new films have come out, giving cinema-goers plenty of choices and splitting collections. Anurag Basu's multi-starrer ' Dino', Shanaya Kapoor 's debut opposite Vikrant Massey in 'Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan' has hit screens. Rajkummar Rao's much-awaited 'Maalik' also released on the same day, pulling in a big chunk of movie lovers. If that wasn't enough, Hollywood's 'Superman' also arrived in theatres, yet 'Sitaare Zameen Par' is holding its ground. 'Sitaare Zameen Par' review 'Sitaare Zameen Par' has also received decent reviews from critics. The Times of India gave it a 3.5-star rating. In their words, 'The film mixes sentiment with spunk, avoiding overly preachy tones. ID (intellectual disabilities) is described through relatable lines like, 'Humaari kismat haathon pe nahi, chromosome pe likh ke aati hai (Our destiny isn't written on our palms — it's written in our chromosomes).' While the underdog sports narrative and troubled-coach arc feel familiar, the film's heart and humour keep it engaging. ' But it wasn't all praise. The same review pointed out, 'That said, the story does wander. Subplots involving his mother, Preeto (Dolly Ahluwalia Tewari), and their butler Daulatji (Bijendra Kala) contribute little to the core story. A few other sequences feel stretched, and pacing suffers in parts. The climax gets overly sentimental in parts. Some scenes, like the team managing airfare and accommodation for the final match, come across as convenient and trite. '
