If Sitaare Zameen Par (2025) lit up your heart with its warm storytelling, quirky humor, and powerful message about inclusivity and second chances, you’re not alone.

Aamir Khan’s latest sports dramedy—about a hot-headed coach guiding a neurodivergent basketball team—is as soul-stirring as it is entertaining.

But once the credits roll, what do you watch next?

Here’s your go-to list of the top 10 feel-good Indian films on OTT that echo the same blend of heart, humor, and humanity.

These stories celebrate personal growth, community, empathy, and the everyday magic of life, just like Sitaare Zameen Par.

Top 10 Feel-Good Indian Films On OTT:

1. Taare Zameen Par (2007 | Hindi)

Why it fits: Aamir Khan’s earlier directorial masterpiece follows Ishaan, a dyslexic child whose world is transformed by a caring teacher.

This film is a spiritual sibling to Sitaare Zameen Par, with its compassionate lens on neurodiversity and emotional growth.

Feel-Good Moment: Ishaan discovering his own brilliance is a tearjerker and a triumph.

Watch it on: Netflix, Amazon Prime Video
IMDb: ★ 8.3/10

2. Queen (2013 | Hindi)

Why it fits: A shy bride-to-be ditches her wedding and rediscovers herself on a solo Europe trip.

Like Sitaare, this film champions stepping outside your comfort zone and embracing transformation, with lots of laughs and heart.

Feel-Good Moment: Rani dancing with strangers and finally dancing with herself.

Watch it on: Netflix, Amazon Prime Video
IMDb: ★ 8.1/10

3. Stanley Ka Dabba (2011 | Hindi)

Why it fits: At first glance, it’s a simple story about a schoolboy who doesn’t bring a lunchbox. But peel the layers, and it becomes a tender commentary on hunger, kindness, and the hidden struggles of children.

Feel-Good Moment: Amole Gupte’s son, Partho, steals the show with his innocence and spunk. There’s no melodrama, just quietly powerful moments that make you want to hug the screen.

Watch it on: Apple TV
IMDb: ★ 7.8/10

4. Chillar Party (2011 | Hindi)

Why it fits: It’s the classic kids vs. system story, as a group of boys try to save a street dog from being taken away.

Feel-Good Moment: It’s the humour, the honesty of childhood emotions, and the non-preachy way it teaches adults a thing or two about loyalty and courage.

Watch it on: Amazon Prime Video
IMDb: ★ 7.5/10

5.Hichki (2018 | Hindi)

Why it fits: Inspired by a real-life story, Hichki features Rani Mukerji in a brilliant role as a teacher with Tourette syndrome.

Like Sitaare, it’s part classroom drama, part emotional rollercoaster, and all heart.

Feel-Good Moment: Watching Rani fight the odds — and her students’ prejudices — is nothing short of inspirational.

Watch it on: Amazon Prime Video
IMDb: ★ 7.5/10

6. Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015 | Hindi)

Why it fits: A simple man’s mission to reunite a mute Pakistani girl with her family becomes a moving tale of kindness and humanity.

The cross-border compassion echoes the team-spirit and unity of Sitaare Zameen Par.

Feel-Good Moment: The border reunion—prepare to cry, then cheer.

Watch it on: Disney+ Hotstar, Amazon Prime Video
IMDb: ★ 8.0/10

7. Barfi! (2012 | Tamil)

Why it fits: Feel-good meets fairy tale in Barfi!, a visually rich and emotionally layered film.

Ranbir Kapoor as the mute and charming Barfi, and Priyanka Chopra as Jhilmil, a girl with autism, form a bond that’s unlike anything you’d expect from a typical Bollywood romance.

Feel-Good Moment: It wins your love through humour, resilience, and a breathtaking score by Pritam. Watch it for the emotions, stay for the storytelling.

Watch it on: Amazon Prime Video
IMDb: ★ 8.1/10

8. Udaan (2011 | Telugu)

Why it fits: A gritty coming-of-age drama, Udaan is powerful and poetic.

It tells the story of a teenage boy forced to live with his authoritarian father after being expelled from school.

Feel-Good Moment: Not your usual “feel-good” fare — but ultimately hopeful, and deeply rewarding.

Watch it on: Netflix
IMDb: ★ 8.1/10

9. Bangalore Days (2014 | Malayalam)

Why it fits: Three young cousins chase love, dreams, and adulthood in Bengaluru.

This film is a vibrant ode to friendship, like Sitaare’s team bonding and youthful energy.

Feel-Good Moment: The bike race, the wedding crash, the laughter—it’s all gold.

Watch it on: Disney+ Hotstar, Amazon Prime Video
IMDb: ★ 8.3/10

10. Wake Up Sid (2009 | Hindi)

Why it fits: Ranbir Kapoor plays Sid, the rich, aimless college kid who discovers responsibility and passion thanks to the fiercely independent Aisha, played by Konkona Sen Sharma.

Feel-Good Moment: The Mumbai vibes, the soft indie soundtrack, and the tender romance make it one of the coziest comfort watches.

Watch it on: Amazon Prime Video
IMDb: ★ 7.6/10
