Aamir Khan’s upcoming movie Sitaare Zameen Par is already making headlines after the trailer release. The film is receiving positive feedback from audiences and critics alike. What many may not know is that this movie is a remake of the Spanish film Champions, which was originally released in 2018 and directed by Javier Fesser.
What is Champions About?
The story follows Marco, a professional basketball coach known for his arrogant and rude behavior. He often gets into arguments and one day, during a heated moment, he pushes his head coach. As a result, he loses his job.
Things get worse when, in a drunken state, Marco crashes his car into a police vehicle. This leads to a court case. The judge gives him two options: either serve two years in jail or coach a basketball team of intellectually disabled young players for 90 days.

From Punishment to Purpose
Marco reluctantly agrees to coach the special team. At first, he takes the kids lightly and treats the job as a joke. But as he starts spending time with the team, he learns valuable life lessons. These kids teach him compassion, teamwork, and resilience.
During this journey, Marco also manages to mend his broken relationship with his wife. The film is filled with humor and emotional depth, making it both entertaining and heartwarming.
A Massive Box Office Success in Spain
You might be surprised to know that Champions became the highest-grossing Spanish film of 2018. Its blend of laughter, inspiration, and human connection struck a chord with audiences worldwide. Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par is expected to follow a similar emotional journey, adapted to suit the Indian context.
Where Can You Watch Champions?
Ever since the trailer of Sitaare Zameen Par was released, many fans have been curious to watch the original Spanish film before the remake comes out.
Unfortunately, at the moment, Champions is not available to stream in India. Even though it is listed on platforms like Prime Video and Pluto TV, users in India will see a message that says:
“This video is currently unavailable to watch in your location.”
So for now, viewers in India will have to wait patiently, or possibly look forward to an unofficial Hindi dubbed version that may release after the premiere of Aamir Khan’s film.
Final Thoughts
Champions is not just a sports drama — it’s a story about change, growth, and second chances. With Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par set to bring this story to Indian audiences, expectations are already high. Until then, the original remains a hidden gem, waiting to be discovered once it becomes accessible in India.
