The makers of Sitaare Zameen Par — the much-awaited spiritual sequel to the 2007 classic Taare Zameen Par — have unveiled the film’s title track, and it’s already striking a chord with fans for its blend of joy, emotion, and inclusivity.
Composed by the renowned musical trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, the heart-touching title track is performed by Siddharth Mahadevan, Shankar Mahadevan, and Divya Kumar, with lyrics penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya. The song showcases Aamir Khan leading a basketball team of intellectually disabled individuals, highlighting their journey toward self-belief and excellence.
The visuals show the underdog team scoring basket after basket, overcoming prejudices, and finding unity under the mentorship of Khan’s character.
Also featured in the song is actress Genelia Deshmukh, who shares a warm and slightly romantic dynamic with Aamir’s character, adding emotional depth and lightness to the narrative.
