As you may know, Sitaare Zameen Par is slated for a theatrical release on June 20, 2025. And this is not the first time Aamir Khan has starred in a sports film. His tryst with the genre began early in his career, and each of his sports films has seen varying degrees of critical and commercial success. Let’s take a closer look at those films and how they fared both commercially and with critics and audiences, to ascertain whether they were hits or misses.

1. Awwal Number

Plot: When Ronny (Aditya Pancholi), a popular but out-of-form batsman, is sacked from the cricket team, a gifted player, Sunny (Aamir Khan), gets a chance to play in his place. This doesn’t sit well with Ronny, who hatches a plan to blow up the stadium. That’s when an honest ex-cop (Dev Anand) comes face to face with his own brother.
