Aamir Khan's much-anticipated comedy-drama, Sitaare Zameen Par, is gearing up for its theatrical release, and recent reports have shed light on its certification. The film has reportedly received a 12A rating from the British Censor Board. This rating often raises questions among Indian audiences, as the Indian Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) uses different categories. Let's break down what a 12A rating entails and what to expect from Aamir Khan's latest venture.
Understanding the 12A Censor Board Rating
It's crucial to note that the 12A rating specifically comes from the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), which is the film censorship body in the United Kingdom. India's CBFC uses its own classification system (U, UA, A, S, and age-based sub-categories like UA 7+, UA 13+, UA 16+).
The 12A rating in the UK means that:
- Suitable for ages 12 and over: The content is generally considered appropriate for viewers who are 12 years old or older.
- Under 12s must be accompanied by an adult: Children under the age of 12 can watch the film in a cinema, but only if they are accompanied by a parent or guardian. The adult is responsible for deciding if the film is suitable for the child they are accompanying.
This rating indicates that Sitaare Zameen Par may contain moderate themes, language, or mild violence that might be considered unsuitable for very young children if viewed alone. Given Aamir Khan's reputation for making socially relevant and family-friendly films (like its spiritual predecessor, Taare Zameen Par), a 12A rating suggests the film tackles its comedy-drama elements with a certain maturity or intensity that warrants parental discretion for younger viewers.
Duration of Aamir Khan's 'Sitaare Zameen Par'
Beyond the rating, information regarding the film's run-time has also surfaced. As per reports, Sitaare Zameen Par has a duration of 2 hours and 35 minutes (155 minutes). This is a fairly standard length for a Bollywood drama, allowing ample time for character development, narrative progression, and emotional resonance.
What to Expect from 'Sitaare Zameen Par'
Directed by R.S. Prasanna (known for Shubh Mangal Saavdhan), Sitaare Zameen Par is being touted as a spiritual sequel to Aamir Khan's directorial debut, Taare Zameen Par. While not directly connected in terms of story, it is expected to carry a similar heartwarming and socially relevant theme.
The film stars Aamir Khan alongside Genelia Deshmukh, and notably features ten neurodivergent artists, marking a significant step towards inclusivity in mainstream cinema. The narrative reportedly revolves around Aamir Khan's character, a washed-up coach, who finds new purpose when tasked with training a basketball team of neurodivergent adults. The film promises a blend of comedy and drama, exploring themes of teamwork, resilience, and finding purpose in unexpected places.
With its 12A rating, a substantial run-time, and a compelling storyline, Sitaare Zameen Par is poised to offer audiences a thought-provoking and entertaining cinematic experience when it hits theaters on June 20, 2025. Aamir Khan's mother also reportedly makes her acting debut in the film, adding another layer of personal touch to this highly anticipated release.
