WION's review of Sitaare Zameen Par

In her review, WION’s Shomini Sen hailed Aamir Khan, the producer, more than the actor for casting neurodivergent actors in the film.

“Credit should be given to director RS Prasanna, producer Aamir Khan, and casting director Tess Joseph for picking up a bunch of fun, confident, and talented neurodivergent actors. They breathe life into the slightly preachy and predictable plot with humour and genuine emotions. While Bollywood actors like Priyanka Chopra, Shah Rukh Khan, and Kalki Koechlin have played especially abled characters in the past, no one has brought authenticity to these characters as much as these new actors have. Full marks to the makers, for casting them instead of trying regular, known faces in these roles.Sitaare Zameen Par shines because of this bunch of actors,” wrote Sen in her review.
