Director Advait Chandan's movie Secret Superstar featuring Zaira Wasim, Meher Vij, Aamir Khan and Raj Arjun in the leads, has received good reviews and ratings from the audience around the world.
Secret Superstar is a musical drama that marks the debut of Aamir Khan's manager Advait Chandan as a scriptwriter and director. Aamir Khan has bankrolled the film along with Kiran Rao, Akash Chawla, Sujay Kutty and B Shrinivas Rao under his banner Aamir Khan Productions. The movie has got a U/A certificate from the censor board and has run time of 2.30 hours.
Story: The movie revolves around the story of a 14-year-old girl named Insia Malik (Zaira Wasim), who dreams to make it big as a singer. Her mother Najma (Meher Vij) believes in her, but her father Farookh (Raj Arjun) is against her decision to become a singer.
However, Insia Malik records her songs and uploads them on YouTube that become a sensation. How actor Shakti Kumaarr (Aamir Khan) mentors her to realise her dream is the rest of the story.
Analysis: The audience says debutant Advait Chandan has penned a meaningful story with a beautiful message to the society. The narration is slow in some parts, however, the director made sure that those scenes wouldn't bore the viewers. Secret Superstar takes the audience through an emotional rollercoaster.
Performances: Zaira Wasim, who hogged the limelight with Dangal, has once again delivered a brilliant performance. Meher Vij's acting is noteworthy. Aamir Khan, Raj Arjun, Kabir Sajid, Tirth Sharma, Harsh Jha and Aryan Ashik have done justice to their roles, the viewers say.
Technical: Secret Superstar has rich production values and Amit Trivedi's music took the film to another level. His songs gel well with the narration. The background score elevates the intensity of several sentimental scenes. Anil Mehta's picturisation and Hemanti Sarkar's editing are decent, say the viewers.
We bring you viewers' verdict on the film shared on Twitter. Here is the Live update of Secret Superstar movie review and rating by audience:

Writer director Advait Chandan's #SecretSuperstar celebrates feminism n why it's important 4 women to break free 4m chains of conventions.. It's inhuman to mistreat women,childhood must be free 4m caged mentality n dreams r as important as food,air n water! #SecretSuperstar Mother daughter can be best of friends n also empathise with each other's plight...it's not Ok to be a doormat..speak up! #SecretSuperstar .#SecretSuperstar tugs at Ur heartstrings,makes u laugh,cry,feel vulnerable,agitates u n also makes u feel empowered!An uplifting xperience! If it's an Aamir Khan film,evrything falls into place.Grt casting,wonderful writing,fine music n exceptional performances #SecretSuperstar The most notable part bout Zaira Wasim is that how natural n effortless she is.She's not acting.She IS Insiyah the #SecretSuperstar !!!

#OneWordReview... #SecretSuperstar: OUTSTANDING. Rating:- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Without doubt, one of the finest films of the year. Strongly recommended! #SecretSuperstar is a complete package: Refreshing plot. Watertight screenplay. Exceptional performances. Soulful soundtrack. #SecretSuperstar hits the right notes... The goings-on make you laugh, make you cry... You go through varied emotions in those 2.30 hours. Director Advait Chandan navigates the written material like a seasoned storyteller. His direction is supremely effective. #SecretSuperstar. Zaira Wasim wins you over with a heartfelt act. She's in splendid form in #SecretSuperstar. Worthy follow up to her sparkling act in #Dangal Aamir lets Zaira shine as he relegates himself to the background. Yet, only he could've essayed the role with such aplomb. #SecretSuperstar. Would like to make a note of 3 remarkable performances in #SecretSuperstar: Meher Vij [mother], Raj Arjun [father], Tirth Sharma [friend].

In #SecretSuperstar every actor has excelled. Advait has written & directed the film like a master craftsman. Layered writing & performances

Ashoke Pandit @ashokepandit
#SecretSuperstar as a film is a victory of innocence.Only a man like @aamir_khan cn hv conviction where he plays 2nd fiddle to a young girl.
Snehith Kumbla @moviesneh
Though uneven,Secret Superstar shines in its performances, Amit Trivedi's superb soundtrack and great story. First half... #SecretSuperstar. After early hiccups, Secret Superstar settles down to telling a great story, if unevenly, but sincerely... first half #SecretSuperstar. Zaira Wasim is a natural, she has all the makings of a great actress in the making. First Half. #SecretSuperstar. Aamir Khan's Shakti Kumar is intelligently kept in the background in the first half. #SecretSuperstar. Amit Trivedi's music is a huge plus, giving the film a strong, emotional cord. First half. #SecretSuperstar
SIPUN DHAL @SipunDhal
