The creators have debuted the first song from the movie, titled Good For Nothing.

Additionally, guitarist Neil Mukherjee and bassist Sheldon D’Silva contributed to the song. Keep reading for an unbiased review of this upcoming release!

Catchy yet hollow song 

The movie “Good For Nothing” has been released, featuring Aamir Khan as Coach Gulshan in an engaging music video. In this video, we see Khan passionately coaching children with special abilities on a basketball court, inspiring them with feelings of positivity, determination, and the importance of perseverance.

The tune created by the well-known trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and sung by Shankar Mahadevan and Amitabh Bhattacharya makes an instant connection with its appealing, refined melody. Yet, while its energetic rhythm and inspiring atmosphere are hard to deny, the song has received criticism for appearing somewhat superficial in its lyrical content.

Listen to the song here: 

Although the song shares an energetic vibe similar to Aamir Khan’s renowned Papa Kehte Hain from Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak and possesses a comparable rhythm, it falls short of capturing the deeply moving sincerity that made the original timeless.

In the end, Good For Nothing appears as a polished, contemporary pep talk that is captivating and professionally made, but it may not satisfy those looking for a more profound emotional connection. The contrast between its motivational power and the rather empty lyrics doesn’t quite resonate.

About Sitaare Zameen Par

In Earthbound Star, Aamir Khan assumes the character of a cranky, negative-minded basketball coach tasked with mentoring a group of athletes who have intellectual impairments. The preview suggests a moving storyline packed with emotion and determination.

Under the guidance of director R. S. Prasanna, this movie introduces ten newcomers: Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar. Genelia Deshmukh is also a key figure in the film.
