Aamir Khan starrer Sitaare Zameen Par, after initially opting for a no-OTT model, finally announced its streaming partner on Monday, 9 months after its theatrical release. The feel-good drama will soon be available for streaming on SonyLIV, although a date is yet to be announced.

Directed by RS Prasanna, Sitaare Zameen Par told the story of a cynical and ill-mannered basketball coach who is ordained by court to train a team of specially abled young players. Billed as a spiritual sequel to the critically acclaimed movie Taare Zameen Par (2007), SZP also starred Genelia D’Souza in the lead cast, and marked the debut for ten actors, namely Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar. Divy Nidhi Sharma served as the scriptwriter for the film.

While it had mixed reception from the critics, SZP performed very well at the box office. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the film grossed nearly 267 crores at the box office worldwide. Our review of the film read: “Sitaare Zameen Par has its heart in the right place but it often wears it on its sleeve. It becomes didactic, spelling out lessons to the viewer rather than letting them make a journey of their own.”

SZP was earlier available on YouTube on pay-per-view model, an initiative that was lauded by many industry members.
