Rachel Zegler's Snow White Premieres On OTT, Where To Watch
Last Updated:
The film is Inspired by the 1937 animated show Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot-starrer Snow White are set to premiere on a digital streaming platform after its decent performance at the theatres. Before its theatrical release, Snow White created significant buzz among the audience for being one of the most expensive live-action films in the industry. Snow White is set to release on Disney+ on June 11 and Indian audiences can stream the movie on JioHotstar.
Inspired by the 1937 animated show Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the plot of the movie centres around the title character Snow White (played by Rachel Zegler) as she seeks refuge with seven dwarfs after fleeing from the Evil Queen (played by Gal Gadot), who later becomes able to reclaim her kingdom. Directed by Marc Webb, the film also stars Andrew Burnap, Jeremy Swift, Martin Klebba, and others alongside the lead actresses.
A wider home release that includes 4K Ultra HD, DVD, and Blu-ray editions is scheduled to drop on June 24. This home entertainment edition is likely to feature special, never-before-seen content like bloopers, deleted scenes, sing-along versions, and some behind-the-scenes glimpses. Moreover, Disney will also release a 2-movie collection combining the movie with the original Snow White.
The film was decent at the box office, earning 205 million USD worldwide, but could not meet the hopes of makers, as the budget was 240-270 million USD. One of the main reasons for the film delivering an average performance was the fact that, as per Disney's decision, the film did not feature original dwarfs, but they were made with CGI. Additionally, the costume design did not satisfy the audience either.
Moreover, the film also faced harsh criticism following Rachel Zegler's comment on playing the princess. The lead actress' opinion on the original film was perceived as disrespectful, as Zegler stated in an interview with Variety that the version focused on leadership and self-discovery, whereas the original version stuck to the age-old narrative of a damsel in distress. Her opinion sparked controversy as the fans viewed her comments as disrespectful towards the original movie and the legacy of Disney. Zegler also faced backlash due to her ethnicity, as being a brown girl, she was cast in Snow White. Many objected that she was not the right choice to portray the character.

Siddhant Chaturvedi makes his Korean debut alongside Chae Soo-bin, leaves fans furious: ‘How much whitening was done?'
Bollywood actor Siddhant Chaturvedi has just made his Korean media debut – and fans are kind of into it but mostly confused. The actor stars opposite K-drama favourite Chae Soo-bin in a new ad for Crocs Japan that's equal parts rainy-day romance and fever dream. The ad opens with Soo-bin walking down a rain-soaked street when Siddhant's car whizzes past, splashing her with muddy water. Classic meet-cute, right? Turns out, he's pulled over just ahead with a flat tyre. She approaches him, offers an umbrella, and the two share a flirty little walk that ends with her splashing his shoes in return. A post shared by 蔡秀彬채수빈台灣後援站ChaesoobinTWfanclub (@chaesoobintwfanclub) The vibe is vaguely Bollywood monsoon romance meets Korean whimsy — except it's not quite either. And fans are loving the awkward charm of it all. 'Korean actress Chae Soobin with Indian actor Siddhant Chaturvedi filmed in India for a Crocs Japan ad… what kind of crossover is this,' wrote one user on X. Another quipped, 'I can't tell if I like or dislike Siddhant Chaturvedi in this Korean style rom com but I think he should be the first actor from India to headline a K show (which is not an Ekta Kapoor show) 🙂↔️.' But not everyone's sold on the collab. Some fans were quick to point out how different Siddhant looked in the ad. 'Korean team had whitewashed him for this ad to blend,' said one. Another added, 'How much whitening has to be done to be in this ad lol.' And one user summed it up with a bang: 'This looks so AI-generated help.' But beyond the oddball execution, the ad seems to be part of a bigger trend — the globalisation of stardom via K-pop's massive influence. From Tom Cruise hanging with BTS' Jin to Jackson Wang collaborating with Diljit Dosanjh, the East-meets-West formula is alive and thriving. Siddhant's entry into this world might feel random, but it's a sign of just how borderless pop culture is becoming. So is this the start of Siddhant's K-entertainment era? Or just a strange footnote in Crocs' ad campaign history? Either way, fans are watching — even if they're not sure why.

Aamir Khan's Airport Entry Turns Into A Scene From ‘Sitaare Zameen Par' IRL
Last Updated: Aamir Khan was recently spotted at the airport, delighting young fans with his warm gesture, just ahead of the release of his highly anticipated film, Sitaare Zameen Par. Bollywood icon Aamir Khan is generating buzz ahead of his upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par. Directed by R.S. Prasanna, the film is slated for a theatrical release on June 20. Recently, the Dangal actor was spotted at the airport, charming young fans with his warm and genuine demeanour. A heartwarming video shared by paparazzi captures Aamir's effortless connection with his fans, reminding us why he remains a beloved figure in Indian cinema. In the viral clip, Aamir Khan is seen surrounded by a group of children eagerly clicking photos with him. Dressed casually in a patterned maroon short kurta and glasses, the actor exudes his signature charm as he poses for selfies. The kids, visibly thrilled, are all smiles as they get a chance to meet the Bollywood star. View this post on Instagram A post shared by F I L M Y G Y A N (@filmygyan) On the work front, Aamir was last seen on the silver screen in Laal Singh Chaddha, an adaptation of Tom Hanks' classic Forrest Gump. Upon its release, the film tanked at the box office. Recently, Aamir revealed that he was 'heartbroken' after the film's underwhelming response and even gave up on Sitaare Zameen Par. In a recent interview with The Indian Express, the actor stated that he even requested director RS Prasanna to cast Farhan Akhtar in the movie. 'To be honest, after Laal Singh Chaddha, I was quite depressed, heartbroken, and emotionally battered because I hadn't had an unsuccessful film in very long. It was quite shocking for me because I'd also liked the film. So I was very surprised that people didn't like it," he said. The 60-year-old actor went on to reveal the reason behind saying yes to the film. He stated, 'I told Prasanna and writer Divyanidhi Sharma we'd discuss the script for a week before the prep once we lock everything. In the first half hour of the first day, as Divya was reading the script, I was telling myself, 'Tell me, why are you not doing this film again? It's a superb script yaar.' So I thought ye toh gadbad ho gayi yaar. And some time had also passed, so I'd recovered from Laal Singh Chaddha being a flop." The sports comedy-drama is a remake of the Spanish hit Champions and features Genelia Deshmukh and 10 newcomers in prominent roles. First Published: June 11, 2025, 15:35 IST

In true Sobhita style, the actor stunned in a vibrant red saree that she had paired with a sheer blouse that was dripping in pearls. While the red saree with its minimal embroidery detailing on the hemline exuded quiet luxury, the sheer halter neck bejewelled blouse was a statement in itself. Whether it's experimental draping, contemporary tailoring, or traditional craft elevated with a modern twist, Sobhita Dhulipala 's fashion choices have consistently reflected thought, intent, and individuality. Here's a look at some of her standout fashion moments. Gilded Glam in Rahul Mishra For her appearance at a luxury haircare brand launch in Mumbai, Sobhita opted for a gilded look by Rahul Mishra. The intricately hand-embroidered Resurgence gown from the designer's Spring 2025 couture collection, The Pale Blue Dot, which debuted at Paris Haute Couture Week, was crafted in over 1,600 hours at the designer's Noida atelier. The gown featured cascading brass leaves, bringing a touch of theatrical flair, while traditional Indian embroidery was elevated with shimmering glass bugle beads, mother-of-pearl accents, and metallic sequins. Sobhita embodied ethereal glamour – radiant, regal, and every bit the couture goddess. For a jewellery campaign that called for a hint of ethereal allure, Sobhita mesmerised in a seaweed olive gown by Rohit Gandhi + Rahul Khanna. Handcrafted with intricate silver and olive sequin grids, delicate crystal embellishments, and soft turquoise detailing, the gown shimmered against sheer tulle.

Styled with a sleek bun and understated makeup, the look was both celestial and grounded, much like Sobhita herself.

Adorned with subtle cream and sand-hued garden prints and layered accents, the ensemble was paired with a maze-embroidered blouse that added texture and intrigue. Oxidised silver jewellery complemented the earthy palette, while soft waves and minimal, neutral-toned makeup let her quiet poise shine through – proof that true elegance speaks in whispers, not volume. Quiet Luxury in Manish Malhotra For WAVES 2025, Sobhita chose a stunning olive green tissue saree by Manish Malhotra. The lightweight fabric, known for its delicate sheen, was brought to life with intricate floral embroidery that shimmered beautifully under the lights, lending her an almost celestial glow.

The result was a look that blended classic elegance with Sobhita's signature quiet power.
