Aamir Khan
's much-awaited return to the big screen with Sitaare Zameen Par is facing an unexpected hurdle just days ahead of its scheduled release. The film, which explores the uplifting story of specially-abled children guided by a determined coach, is yet to receive clearance from the CBFC due to a dispute over suggested cuts—raising questions about a possible delay.
Here's everything we know so far.
According to a report quoted by Bollywood Hungama, the CBFC has requested two cuts in Sitaare Zameen Par. However, Aamir Khan reportedly believes the film should be cleared without any edits. The source added that both Aamir and director
RS Prasanna
have crafted the film thoughtfully, and certain scenes or dialogues make complete sense within their context.
The specific details of the cuts requested by the CBFC remain undisclosed, but the issue has reportedly caused a temporary standoff between the filmmakers and the certification board.
This impasse has, in turn, delayed the film's progress toward its scheduled release.
The report further revealed that since Aamir Khan has not agreed to the suggested cuts, Sitaare Zameen Par has yet to receive its censor certificate. Aamir now plans to meet the CBFC Examining Committee again on Monday to present his case. The hope is that a resolution will be reached by June 16, allowing the film to be certified. Only then can advance bookings begin, as theatres are not permitted to sell tickets without a censor certificate.

As per a report by Filmy View, Sitaare Zameen Par has a runtime of 2 hours and 35 minutes. Directed by RS Prasanna, Sitaare Zameen Par marks Aamir Khan's return to the big screen after a three-year break since Laal Singh Chaddha.

'How to Train Your Dragon' soars with $197.8 million global box office debut; 'Materialists' makes modest start with $12 million collection
"How to Train Your Dragon" took flight at the box office this weekend, proving that some remakes still have teeth. The Universal live-action adaptation of the beloved animated franchise soared to a strong $83.7 million debut in North American theaters, according to Comscore estimates Sunday. The film, directed by franchise veteran Dean DeBlois, follows the unlikely friendship between a young Viking named Hiccup (Mason Thames) and a dragon called Toothless. The reboot easily outpaced 2019's "How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World," which opened with $55 million. The latest film earned more than $114.1 million internationally, bringing the global total to $197.8 million. "How to Train" also claimed the No. 1 spot ahead of Disney's "Lilo & Stitch," which slipped to second place after topping the charts for three weekends. That hybrid live-action remake added another $15 million, pushing its domestic total past $386.3 million. "Materialists," a modern-day New York love story starring Dakota Johnson , Pedro Pascal, and Chris Evans , rounded out the top three films of the week with a $12 million debut. The romantic dramedy features Johnson as a savvy matchmaker caught between two suitors: a broke, struggling actor who happens to be her ex, and a wealthy "unicorn" who seems too good to be true. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo "Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning" slid to fourth place, taking in $10.3 million and avoiding a dip into single-digit territory. The John Wick spinoff "Ballerina" fell to fifth place with $9.4 million, despite strong reviews from both critics and audiences. Directed by Len Wiseman, the action film stars Ana de Armas and features Keanu Reeves reprising his role in a supporting turn. Dergarabedian said "Ballerina" could have a surge later down the line similar to 2014's "John Wick." In sixth place, "Karate Kid: Legends" earned $5 million followed by "Final Destination: Bloodlines" at seventh with $3.9 million. Wes Anderson's latest "The Phoenician Scheme" brought in $3 million eighth place. "The Life of Chuck," based on a Stephen King story, placed ninth with $2.1 million. Rounding out the top 10 was "Sinners." The Ryan Coogler film starring Michael B. Jordan , drew $1.4 million - which is impressive since the movie is available to watch at home through online and digital platforms after being released two months ago. Overall, the box office is up 23% from this point in 2024. Dergarabedian said he's looking forward to films in the coming weeks that could have a positive presence at the box office, such as "Eilo," "F1," "Superman" and "28 Days Later."
