RS Prasanna’s ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ (Aamir Khan) is a very broad comedy-drama, and it kinda-sorta works

Aamir Khan plays a basketball coach who is asked to train a team of special-needs people. Everything is very broad and generic, but the feel-good factor holds it all together. The rest of this review may contain spoilers.
In RS Prasanna’s Sitaare Zameen Par, Aamir Khan plays a man-child named Gulshan. If you’ve seen the trailer, you know the movie. He is a basketball coach. He gets fired for bad behaviour. He gets drunk. He is brought before a judge on a charge of rash driving, and the judge gives him community service. She asks him to train a team of what she calls “intellectually disabled” youngsters for the National Basketball Championships. I have not seen the Spanish original or the Hollywood remake, but taken as is, this is the story of an ego-filled man who doesn’t even know how to apologise to his wife Suneeta (Genelia Deshmukh). He thinks this is going to be about him coaching a team with special needs. He slowly realises that this team will end up being his coach in matters of the heart.
