The 'Housefull 5' actor penned an appreciation note on his Instagram handle that read, 'Please do yourself a favour — go watch the best film of the year! #SitaareZameenPar is not just a movie, it's an experience. It makes you laugh, it makes you cry — and by the time it ends, it leaves you a better human being.' 'The true 'sitaares' of this film are the children — absolutely phenomenal performances that steal your heart and never let go,' he added. Calling Aamir Bollywood's finest actor, he added, 'Aamir Khan once again proves why he's one of the finest actors this country has ever seen. His performance is deeply layered, incredibly nuanced, and profoundly moving.' Praising his better half, Riteish wrote, '@geneliad is pure magic on screen. She lights up every frame with her presence — her eyes say everything, and I say this not just as a husband, but as a genuine fan of her craft.' Earlier, actress Tisca Chopra, who has been a part of Aamir Khan's 'Taare Zameen Par' also showered 'Sitaare Zameen Par' with love and admiration. Posting a happy photo with the film's team, Tisca penned on her IG, 'What Aamir does, only Aamir does.

Released on Friday, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' has opened to positive reviews. Furthermore, Tisca revealed how she felt after watching the drama that deals with a sensitive topic such as neurodivergence. 'Sitaare is all heart! What stayed with me is how gently and powerfully the film establishes the idea that everyone's normal is different. This isn't a sob story-it's an empowering moved me most was how the neurodivergent adults are portrayed (and for once by neurodivergent actors) -not with pity or exaggerated kindness, but with something far more beautiful: normalcy. Everyday, natural, joyous normalcy. Like anyone else. And that's what makes this film truly special,' she penned. An official remake of the 2018 Spanish film 'Champions', 'Sitaare Zameen Par' reached the cinema halls on June 20th this year. Director R.S. Prasanna, has shared the details of one his earliest meetings with the Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan. Aamir essays the lead character in 'Sitaare Zameen Par', and has also bankrolled the film.

Before he could realise, 8 hours had passed since their meeting began, and progressed through breakfast and lunch breaks. Indo-Asian News Service
