About the Film
A spiritual successor to Khan’s 2007 classic Taare Zameen Par, this new film pivots toward a sports drama format, featuring children with learning difficulties competing in a national-level athletic tournament. It blends emotional resonance, uplifting arcs, and Khan’s signature socially driven storytelling.

By committing to a cinemas-only release, Khan reinforces his long-standing stance that “some stories are meant for the big screen.”
