Success of Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par is highly crucial for Bollywood; here’s why

Aamir Khan is returning to Bollywood after a long time with Sitaare Zameen Par. After the massive debacle of Laal Singh Chaddha, the Bollywood superstar had taken a short hiatus as he was quite disturbed with the failure of this movie. Now he is not only acting but also producing Sitaare Zameen Par. As his fans are aware, more than a decade ago Aamir Khan directed and produced Taare Zameen Par which was a decent hit and received a lot of appreciation from both critics and fans.

Sitaare Zameen Par is expected to be a content-driven movie. But will it work because nowadays, only commercial masala and action movies are working like Pushpa: The Rule, Animal and Jawan. But it is important that movies with realistic content should work or else no one will make content-driven movies which will be a big irony.

What is Sitaare Zameen Par all about?

Aamir Khan during a recent interview said that although there is a similarity between Taare Zameen Par and his upcoming movie, the earlier movie is emotional, but Sitaare Zameen Par will make the audience laugh as it is humorous. The film is based on people with varying abilities and intelligence facing different challenges but it is these people who will help a normal man with their limited abilities.

Thus, it indicates that this Aamir Khan movie will unravel a new perspective about the people who are different and are facing some physical or emotional limitations in their lives. It is hence also is going to be a movie that will make the audience learn new things about human struggles and also think about them.

Will Aamir Khan's efforts make audience turn to content-driven movies?

And that is exactly what today’s audience is not turning to. With action movies becoming the major grossers across the country filmmakers are turning their back towards content-driven topics that can offer in-depth information, real scenarios, and truth about social issues to the audience.

Bollywood needs content-driven movies like Bajrangi Bhaijan and Dangal to become successful so that the Hindi film industry does not become limited to commercial masala entertainment but can deliver good content through rom-coms, comedy, suspense thrillers, and emotional movies that touch human lives.

And success of Sitaare Zameen Par can surely encourage the directors to take up such subjects and make content-oriented movies that hit the heart on the right spot.
