Sitaare Zameen Par worldwide box office collection day 1: Aamir Khan film beats Kesari Chapter 2, falls behind Sikandar
Sitaare Zameen Par worldwide box office collection day 1: Bollywood actor Aamir Khan made his return to the screen after three years with Sitaare Zameen Par, following the failure of Laal Singh Chaddha. Despite receiving positive reviews from audiences, the film had a slow start at the box office. It has surpassed the collection of Akshay Kumar's Kesari Chapter 2 but still trails behind Salman Khan's Sikandar. (Also Read: Salman Khan jokes Aamir Khan first offered Sitaare Zameen Par to him: 'Tab iska paperwork pe kaam chal raha tha') Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par takes a slow start at the box office.
According to Sacnilk, Aamir's film earned ₹ 10.7 crore on day one of its release at the domestic box office. With ₹ 12.85 crore India gross and ₹ 7.15 crore overseas collection, the film's total worldwide collection now stands at ₹ 20 crore. The numbers are slightly underwhelming for an Aamir Khan film, especially considering his last release Laal Singh Chaddha, which failed commercially, still opened to ₹ 11.70 crore in India and ₹ 23.85 crore worldwide.
However, the film has managed to surpass the day one haul of Akshay Kumar, R Madhavan and Ananya Panday's film Kesari Chapter 2, which collected ₹ 15 crore worldwide. Yet, it fell behind Ajay Devgn's Raid 2 ( ₹ 25.70 crore) and Salman Khan's Sikandar ( ₹ 26 crore). The film is expected to see a jump in numbers owing to the positive audience response. About Sitaare Zameen Par
The sports comedy-drama is a spiritual sequel to Aamir's 2007 hit Taare Zameen Par. Directed by RS Prasanna, the film stars Aamir as a basketball coach who is tasked with training a team of neurodivergent people for a tournament. The film also features Genelia D'Souza.
The film introduces 10 debutant actors: Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishnan Varma, Vedant Sharmaa, Naman Misra, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Ashish Pendse, Samvit Desai, Simran Mangeshkar, and Aayush Bhansali. The ensemble cast also includes Dolly Ahluwalia, Gurpal Singh, Brijendra Kala, and Ankita Sehgal.
An excerpt from Hindustan Times' review of Sitaare Zameen Par reads, 'The first half is slow and tests your patience. Aamir being angry with his new role, getting to know his special team, then struggling in his marriage with Sunita (Genelia Deshmukh) — there's a lot that eats up screen time and feels like lazy writing. There's the occasional laugh — pretty much what one saw in the trailer. The intermission point too isn't on a high. You settle into your seats after this, ready for a yawn-fest. But this is exactly when Sitaare Zameen Par miraculously finds its groove.'

Dhvani Bhanushali on navigating her next sound and dreams: ‘I'm manifesting collab with Diljit Dosanjh'
As the music industry evolves rapidly with the influence of social media and digital algorithms, artists are constantly challenged to keep pace while staying authentic. For Dhvani Bhanushali, this balance is not just necessary, it's non-negotiable. In an exclusive interview with Hindustan Times on the occasion of World Music Day, Dhvani opened up about her creative process, the role of personal experience, and her aspirations for global music collaborations. Dhvani Bhanushali highlights the significance of authenticity in music, focusing on personal experiences over social media trends Instead of chasing virality, Dhvani finds inspiration in the everyday conversations, moments of joy, heartbreak, and observation. It's this emotional honesty that makes her music so widely relatable. While she acknowledges that platforms like Instagram offer endless ideas and trends, she cautions against losing oneself in the crowd. "We are constantly influenced by what we see and experience. Life experience is very important for making music. As you live life, themes and stories come to you. When you see Instagram, you see people exploring different things. But you also realise that sometimes, when you try and experiment too much, you forget who you truly are as an artist. I feel you should derive from your own experiences rather than what other people are doing. My algorithm will be defined by me and my audience," Dhvani said. For Dhvani, that 'algorithm' isn't about formulas or filters, it's about connection. What her listeners feel, what resonates in their lives, and what echoes her own emotions form the true foundation of her creative direction. The Pop Romance Era Dhvani's last number, Aankhon with OAFF, Savera, and Ankur Tewari, was a different soundscape from her usual numbers. "I think I got cooler with it. I have never done anything like this before. I wanted to talk about a situationship, and I think it resonated with my audience." Dhvani is now looking forward to putting out music all this year. "I am back to Afro soundscape, which I touched upon when I did Mera Yaar. My next is a proper club number. Now, I am diverging more into pop romance and moving away from the sad girl era. I am in a happy space. I would want to stick to pop, romance, the beats," Dhvani said. Eyes on the global stage Dhvani's vision isn't limited by borders. The singer is clear about her global ambitions and the artists who inspire her. 'I really want to work with Camila Cabello. I have been a fan of hers since the time I began. I love Post Malone.' These choices reflect a fusion of pop, soul, and versatility, very much like her own evolving sound. And while she's set her sights internationally, one collaboration hits closer to home. 'I am manifesting a collaboration with Diljit Dosanjh… I always tell him he is such an inspiration for so many artists, including me.' Having previously collaborated with Diljit on the massive hit Sauda Khara Khara in Good Newzz, Dhvani sees him as a role model—proof that Indian artists can break boundaries and cross cultures.

Salman Khan reveals who was the real inspiration behind his iconic ‘Tere Naam' look
Netflix's The Great Indian Kapil Show is all set to return with a bang, and leading the laughter ride in Season 3's premiere episode is none other than Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. The first episode, scheduled to air on June 21, is already making headlines thanks to a few sneak peeks that have gone viral. In a candid and humorous chat with host Kapil Sharma, Salman opened up about the origin of his iconic hairstyle from the 2003 cult film Tere Naam. Surprisingly, the actor revealed that the inspiration behind the much-talked-about look came from none other than former President Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam. 'The hairstyle in Tere Naam was actually inspired by Abdul Kalam sir. Around that time, Rahul Roy also had a similar hairstyle. I thought, small-town heroes usually have long hair—so I went with that. Even heroes from earlier times had longer hair, so the look fit perfectly,' Salman shared, sparking laughter and applause from the audience. Adding to the fun, Salman also took a playful jab at fellow actor Aamir Khan's love life. Referring to Aamir's recent public appearance with girlfriend Gauri Spratt, Kapil joked, 'Aamir bhai introduced his fans to his girlfriend. He's not stopping, but you haven't even started!' Salman responded with his trademark wit, 'Aamir is something else. He's a perfectionist—he won't settle down until he perfects marriage itself!'
