A Story of Mentorship
In the film, Aamir Khan takes on the role of a basketball coach. His character mentors ten differently-abled individuals, promising a heartwarming and inspiring narrative. It aims to raise awareness about neurodivergence, echoing similar themes from Taare Zameen Par.
Critical Reception
The film strives to raise awareness about neurodivergence. However, it seems to heavily lean into easily digestible lessons.
One review noted that “Every scene or callback is calibrated to yield a lesson, a realisation. An ideal Aamir Khan film can be both entertaining and edifying. But when the balance tilts, it’s just annoying.”
