Sachin Tendulkar shares honest review of Aamir Khan's new movie 'Sitaare Zameen Par'

Legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar recently attended the premiere of his friend and Bollywood star Aamir Khan’s new film, Sitaare Zameen Par. The film, which releases on June 20, is a sequel to the 2007 hit Taare Zameen Par. It has already gained attention for its storyline and powerful performances.

Tendulkar was invited by Aamir for an exclusive star-studded special screening of the film. In a video shared by Aamir Khan Productions, the cricket legend spoke highly of the film and mentioned that it will motivate the upcoming generation immensely. 

“Film bahot achi lagi (film is very good). Ye movie aisi hai ke aap team sitaare ke saath haste ho rote ho movie main hi (this is such a film that you will laugh and cry through the film) and I have always said that sport has the power to teach us everything. Itne saare messages milte hai, (you get so many messages) it has the power to bring everyone together toh ye movie waisa he message deti hai. Main saare actors ko big thumbs up deta hu, bahot acha job kiya hai, (I give all the actors a big thumbs up, they have done a wonderful job) very well done and all the very best to you,” Tendulkar can be heard as saying.

Directed by R. S. Prasanna and produced under the Aamir Khan Productions banner, Sitaare Zameen Par stars Aamir and Genelia Deshmukh in lead roles, alongside 10 debutant neurodivergent actors, Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar.

India-England series named after Sachin Tendulkar, James Anderson 

Meanwhile, Tendulkar was recently seen unveiling the Anderson–Tendulkar Trophy alongside James Anderson in Leeds ahead of the England vs India Test series. The former batter who became the first and still the only player with 200 Test caps ended his red-ball career in 2013 with the most runs in the format, a record he still holds with 15,921 runs, which includes a staggering tally of 51 centuries.

“For me, Test cricket embodies life – you give your best, and if things go wrong, it gives you another day to regroup, think, unlearn, and bounce back. It is the highest form of the game that teaches you endurance, discipline and adaptability, against all odds. I owe my foundation to Test cricket, as it has seen me grow from disappointments to triumphs, from aspirations to fulfilment," Tendulkar said.
