In ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’, Aamir Khan is needy for the audience’s love

An official adaptation of the Spanish sports drama, ‘Campeones’, the movie is full of questionable taste and needy filmmaking.

In RS Prasanna’s ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’, pegged as a spiritual sequel to ‘Taare Zameen Par’ (2008), Aamir Khan doesn’t want to leave anything to chance. So, in a slapstick scene, Khan’s character Gulshan Arora—a perpetually irate, foul-tempered, confrontational basketball coach—is barking instructions to his player.
