Sitaare Zameen Par managed to prove it wrong with its inclusive storytelling, breaking barriers and reuniting a diverse audience back at the cinema halls.
If filmmakers want to take anything away from this incident, it’s that honest effort sells without having to be wrapped in glamour or sexual innuendos.
