AbilityFEST2025 draws to an emotional close with Sitaare Zameen Par

The air buzzed with anticipation, eyes on the entrance, waiting for the stars to arrive. But these are not your typical red carpet regulars – they were the young athletes from Sitare Zameen Par, the breakout hit that’s taken the country by storm. Backed by Aamir Khan Productions, the film about neurodivergent children discovering their strength through sport (basketball here) has garnered a lot of love and affection from the audience and critics alike. The film is known to have opened up vital conversations about inclusion and ability, where the young cast now shines as a beacon of resilience and a new kind of heroism.
