'Sitaare Zameen Par': Aamir Khan defends theatres over OTT releases; says, 'I believe in my audience'
Bollywood actor and filmmaker Aamir Khan is standing firm on his belief in the power of cinema halls. His upcoming film 'Sitaare Zameen Par' will be released in theatres in a few days, with no plans to drop it on any OTT platform anytime soon. In a chat with News18 Showsha, the actor opened up about why the film is strictly for cinemas and how he feels the OTT trend is hurting the theatre business. 'I don't know any business where you offer your product, and if someone doesn't buy it, you tell them—don't worry, I'll drop it at your house for free in eight weeks,' he said, speaking about how quickly films are being made available online. 'It doesn't make sense to me. That's the reason many films aren't doing well in theatres.' Theatres vs OTT: Aamir takes a strong stand Aamir believes that good films should be watched on the big screen and not on a phone or laptop at home. He said the trend of quick OTT releases is damaging theatre culture. According to him, this has created a 'famine and feast' situation — either a film becomes a big hit or it fails completely. 'I believe in theatres. I believe in my audience. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 夢の農場を作り上げよう アドベンチャーゲーム Undo If you make a good film, people will come to watch it on the big screen.' For Aamir, the experience of watching a film in a cinema hall is special, and he wants to keep that feeling alive with 'Sitaare Zameen Par'. OTT can't fix a bad film, says Aamir When asked about his last film 'Laal Singh Chaddha', which received better reviews on OTT after a slow run in theatres, Aamir didn't agree with the idea that streaming can change people's minds, 'If someone doesn't enjoy a film in theatres, they won't suddenly like it at home. Your opinion of the film doesn't change just because of where you watch it.' He also mentioned that high ticket prices and expensive food in multiplexes can push audiences to wait for films to come online. Still, he's not letting that affect his creative decisions. What is 'Sitaare Zameen Par' all about? 'Sitaare Zameen Par' is a sports comedy drama directed by R. S. Prasanna. It is produced by Aamir Khan and Aparna Purohit. The film stars Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh and is described as a spiritual follow-up to Aamir's 2007 film 'Taare Zameen Par'. The film also marks the Hindi film debut of Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra and Simran Mangeshkar — fresh faces Aamir is excited to introduce to the audience.

Netflix top boss thought Sanjay Leela Bhansali pitched Heeramandi to them to be rejected: 'It almost felt like a dare'
When Heeramandi, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus, was greenlit by Netflix, it was hailed as a landmark moment for Indian streaming. Bhansali has the legacy of being Indian cinema's most visually opulent showman. His films are larger-than-life and lavish. Hence, a series on the same scale was unthinkable. In a recent chat, Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos revealed that he felt that the filmmaker almost wanted 'no' for an answer when he pitched the show. Speaking on Nikhil Kamath's WTF podcast, Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos talked about the scale of Heeramandi and said, 'Heeramandi was probably one of the most creatively interesting projects I've worked on in India. I was involved in the greenlighting meetings for it. He (Sanjay Leela Bhansali) came to LA to do the pitch. He came in with this very big vision. Honestly, it almost felt like a dare—like he was saying, 'I dare you to make this; it's so big. He's a legend of cinema, so the idea of him making a TV Show was unheard of. I thought he came for us to say no. And then, when we said yes, there were lots of delays. It was a complicated production.' Announced in 2021, Heeramandi took almost three years to make and produce before it was released on the platform in May 2024. 'He built these enormous, practical sets that we shot on. There was something beautifully old-fashioned about every element of the production. And he was so proud of it. I was so proud of him. To me, Heeramandi is a true reflection of India's deep, enduring love for cinema,' Sarandos added. Heeramandi is a fictional tale set in the famous red light district of Lahore in pre-Partition undivided India. Bhansali had initially conceived the story as a film in 2007. It was later revived as a show in which Bhansali wanted to cast Pakistani actors Mahira Khan, Fawad Khan, and Imran Abbas. But those plans had to be shelved due to the virtual ban on Pakistani artists in India after 2016. Heermandi stars Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Sheikh, Sharmin Segal, and Taha Shah Badussha.

Sashaying to the Top: Mrs. India Globe 2017, Veena Jain gets candid with TNIE
In the sunny upscale suburb of Palm Springs, California, women from 50 countries around the world gather with the hope of winning the prestigious Mrs. Globe Classique pageant, for women over 45. For over seven years, former beauty queen, Mrs. India Globe 2017, Veena Jain, as the national director of the pageant, has mentored Indian women, preparing them to compete at this international stage. 'Mrs. Globe is the top international beauty pageant in the 'Mrs.' category,' says Jain, who trains participants through all three rounds – national costume, coronation gown, and the swimsuit round, adding that Indian women bring a blend of emotional intelligence, cultural representation, and confidence that is needed in the presentation. 'Our representatives are confident, communicative, and emotionally intelligent. These aren't skills we need to teach; they are embedded in our culture,' she explains, saying, 'We look for someone who is poised, confident, social, and inspiring.' This year, Jain has taken Sharada Narayanan, a city-based fashion entrepreneur, under her wing, describing her as 'the full package, with a strong presence and natural charm.' Narayanan defines herself as a fashion designer, entrepreneur, social changemaker, mother, and spouse. Her journey to the Mrs. Globe stage wasn't easy; it began in the corporate world but an inner pull towards creativity led her to fashion design. 'Colours, fabrics, these fascinated me from a very young age,' says Narayanan, adding that her first time walking the ramp in her own design made her realise she had a side she hadn't explored yet, leading her to open her boutique, Metamorphosis.
