Sitaare Zameen Par first review: Sudha Murty calls Aamir Khan's comedy-drama an ‘eye-opener' that offers ‘deep philosophical lessons'
One of the most anticipated Bollywood films at the moment, RS Prasanna's Sitaare Zameen Par has been creating buzz for quite some time now. This is not just because the movie marks the return of Aamir Khan to the silver screen in a lead role after three years, but also since its trailer promises that the movie will be a heartwarming comedy-drama that offers us some respite amid the flurry of loud actioners we are bombarded with frequently. Now, author and philanthropist Sudha Murty, who recently watched the movie at a special screening, has shared her review of Sitaare Zameen Par. Calling it an 'eye-opener', she shared that the Aamir Khan-starrer is 'a beautiful film'. 'I feel the movie's an eye-opener. Many people don't understand such children whom we call 'not normal'. But this is a very beautiful movie where you understand that they are very sensitive and that they have a pure heart. They always smile, too, because they are so pure in their approach to life. These are great and deep philosophical lessons which we learn from these people (the characters in the film),' she shared after watching Sitaare Zameen Par. SCREEN Exclusive | Aamir Khan says he was asked to do an action film after Laal Singh Chaddha failure: 'I had many offers, but story of Sitaare Zameen Par entered my bloodstream' 'The movie is inclusive of these people, and they have their own kingdom of mind and work. This movie can bring about a lot of changes, actually. We should include them in our normal system and try to rehabilitate them in a normal way. Thank you very much for such a great opportunity to see a great movie by Aamir Khan,' she added. Featuring Aamir Khan, Genelia Deshmukh, Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishnan Varma, Vedant Sharmaa, Naman Misra, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain and Ashish Pendse, among others, Sitaare Zameen Par is penned by Divy Nidhi Sharma. Jointly produced by Aamir and Aparna Purohit, the movie boasts music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya, a background score by Ram Sampath, cinematography by Srinivas Reddy and editing by Charu Shree Roy. Sitaare Zameen Par will hit the screens on June 20.

‘Edagaiye Apaghatakke Karana' trailer: Diganth returns; Four murders, one accident
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Kannada cinema's charming star Diganth Manchale is back, this time in a quirky black comedy titled 'Edagaiye Apaghatakke Karana' (translated as The Reason for the Left-Handed Accident). Directed by Samarth B Kadkol, the film blends murder, mystery, and humour in a plot where nothing—and no one—is what they seem. The newly released trailer hints at a refreshingly quirky storyline that centers on four murders and a mysterious accident — all somehow connected to the main character's unusual struggle of being left-handed in a world designed for right-handers. Diganth as Lohit Rajesh: A leftie caught in chaos Diganth steps into the role of Lohit Rajesh, a techie who kicks off the trailer with an odd but attention-grabbing revelation — he's involved in four murders and one accident. But according to him, none of it is really his fault. His explanation? Being left-handed in a right-handed world naturally leads to 'accidents.' It's a strange premise, but one that instantly sets the tone for a film packed with oddball humour, unexpected twists, and plenty of chaos. The story leans heavily on situational comedy while keeping a layer of suspense alive throughout. Edagaiye Apaghatakke Karana Official Trailer |Diganth|Dhanu|Nidhi |Samarth |Hyphen - Keelambi Studio A strong ensemble adds to the fun The film also stars Nidhi Subbaiah , Dhanu Harsha, Sourav Lokesh, and Krishna Hebbale, with special appearances by Radhika Narayan and Nirup Bhandari. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Good News: You May Be Richer Than You Think Undo With this cast and its offbeat setup, the film promises a fun, entertaining ride full of quirky moments and unpredictable turns. Audiences seem to be highly impressed by the trailer.

(Hats off to Left Hand Lohit After a long time, a good film has come to Kannada. Our childhood star pair, Diganth and Nidhi Subbaiah, are back together on the silver screen.)' Another one wrote, 'This is how trailer should be. .. Kathe nu bitkod'de, curiosity build madide.. Kannadadalli olle trailer cut madalla anta ansodu... Finally they did it!. This movie should become superhit!.' Diganth's massive comeback is on cards The film also marks a reunion between Diganth and Nidhi Subbaiah, a pair that charmed audiences with the cult romantic hit Pancharangi in 2010. Over a decade later, their screen presence still holds nostalgic value for fans. Meanwhile, Diganth appears to be establishing himself as the go-to face for quirky roles, with recent films like 'Bachelor Party' and 'Powder'. 'Edagaiye Apaghatakke Karana', set to release in theatres on June 13, could be another feather in his cap, and the expectations are quite high.
