Sitaare Zameen Par review"The film mixes sentiment with spunk, avoiding overly preachy tones. ID 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," reads an excerpt from TOI's review of 'Sitaare Zameen Par.' The movie recieved a rating of 3.5 out of 5 stars as per our review.
