Aamir Khan returns with an inspiring track, powered by SEL’s music and Amitabh Bhattacharya’s heartfelt lyrics
Blockbuster Mr Perfectionist Aamir Khan’s home production releases the first musical teaser “Good for Nothing” from Sitaare Zameen Par, a lavish musical representation of the film’s heartrending theme and spirit. With incredible artists on the mic and behind the scenes, that initial teaser had everyone from superfans to avid critics talking about what the future holds. The teaser’s real hook comes from scenes of this young boy being bullied, feeling the burning sting of shame, fighting his inner insecurities and outer menacing bullies and overwhelming world, along with flashes of Aamir Khan, his mentor, who looks like a pillar of strength and love. The song’s message is poignantly conveyed even in the title, Good for Nothing. Shankar Mahadevan brings emotional depth with his powerful vocals, and Amitabh Bhattacharya conveys a meaningful message through his poignant lyrics, highlighting everyone's hidden potential.
Produced under Universal Music India’s label, the music, which was composed by the popular trio Shankar Ehsaan Loy, beautifully complements the song’s emotive lyrics, intensifying its powerful message through a symphony of soulful melodies and energising orchestration. That was Aamir Khan’s return to films, and as a spiritual successor to Taare Zameen Par, it’s already building hype with its emotionally grounded tale about children’s inner lives. Even before its new, soon-to-be-Broadway-seeking teaser could take a bow on stage, it’s gone totally fever pitch viral across social media with fans crowing about its fabulously fun, musical, spirit-infecting, intriguing, timely, and relevant message’s musical PROMISE. Only small changes needed, the sentence is already in active voice, and in great shape.
The song's overall message is further reflected in the title, Good for Nothing. Shankar Mahadevan brings an emotional depth with his powerful vocals, and Amitabh Bhattacharya conveys a great message. It is a very good song and complements the movie, a soulful blend of emotions and story.
