Taare Zameen Par hit threatres across the country on Friday, Bollywood actor, Aamir Khan said he was nervous and excited over its release but hoped all would like his "honest and sincere" effort.

Khan, who has forayed into direction with the film, said he was "nervous and excited" over the release.
He insisted that though the film is about a child, it is not confined to the children's world and the parents could have something to learn from it.
When referred to the opposition to the screening of his film in some parts of Gujarat, Khan expressed confidence that his movie would be allowed in the state.
"I always have love for the people of Gujarat," said 'Bhuvan' of Lagaan who was accompanied by his Assistant Producer wife Kiran Rao.

The release of the movie was stalled briefly in many Mumbai multiplexes following dispute over distribution rights.
"This is going to be an unusual movie, very refreshing too," said Fashion Designer JJ Valaya, who was among the celebrities to attend the premier.
