‘Should we switch off TV?': Bombay HC chides man for FIR against Zee TV show ‘Tum Se Tum Tak', may make him mop hospital
The Bombay High Court on Tuesday pulled up a complainant who lodged an FIR against Zee TV's new show titled 'Tum Se Tum Tak', the plot of which revolves around a love story of a 19-year-old girl and a 46-year-old man. Closing for orders a petition filed by Zee TV seeking the quashing of the FIR, the Bombay HC indicated it will ask the complainant to do cleaning and mopping work at one of the hospitals in Mumbai. A bench of Justices Ravindra Ghuge and Gautam Ankhad pulled up Sunil Sharma, the person who lodged the complaint saying that the Zee TV show 'hurts' sentiments. 'What is offensive in the serial? If we go by your idea (of what is offensive) we will have to switch off the TV we switch off the TV and stop watching serials? A 46-year-old actor falls in love with 19-year-old girl and that will hurt the sentiments. You keep this with you,' the bench said, according to a report by Live Law. The judges also cited a previous judgment to say that if the complainant does not like a show, he should not watch it. "We can understand if there is some communal riot or frenzy arises because of the show or some communal tension etc... what is this? There is a judgment (of Justice Lodha) which clearly says, if you do not like a movie or a show, don't watch it," the judges said in an oral remark. The Bombay HC also expressed his shock over the different names used by the complainant at different occasions. He filed his complaint under the name of Sunil Sharma, and when he was produced before the judges at the High Court last month, he said his name was Sunil Mahendra Sharma. However, his IDs including Aadhaar and PAN shows his name as Mahendra Sanjay Sharma. The judges asked him to 'justify' his conduct. 'In the record before us, there are three types of signatures, the complainant made in the open court... This shows some problem with your (complainant's) own conduct... A mischief is played in the court hall... We can even direct the police to register an FIR against you.. But we do not get any pleasure to order someone's Arthur Road jail is full,' the bench remarked. Sharma replied that he was not bound to use his own name and can file an anonymous complaint. However, the judges were not satisfied with the justification and observed there was mischief and malice on his part. It indicated that it may ask Sharma to do community work at a hospital for at least one month. 'Let him do cleaning, mopping etc of JJ Hospital... We will ask the Medical Superintendent to give him some work and he will have to do it for at least 1 month. This man will have to do community service and he should not send anybody who is a proxy there for community service, the way he did here,' the bench said.

Aamir Khan ready to bring ‘Sitaare Zameen Par' to OTT but not without this demand…, says ‘I have always wanted my films…
Aamir Khan ready to bring 'Sitaare Zameen Par' to OTT but not without this demand…, says 'I have always wanted my films… In the ever-evolving world of cinema, many films come and go. But there are rarely any films that are planned and distributed meticulously. One such example of this is Sitaare Zameen Par. Unlike other mainstream films that are sold on OTT after their theatrical run, Aamir Khan, known for his perfection and unconventional choices, decided to go for a pay-per-view model. In a recent interview, Aamir Khan revealed why he rejected massive streaming giants and went for a YouTube release. Aamir Khan on releasing his film on OTT Speaking on a podcast, Aamir Khan said, 'I've always wanted my films to come on OTT platforms, but the period has to be six months.' He emphasised theatrical release as the priority, adding, 'Every movie needs to be handled differently.' Aamir Khan shares that he doesn't have a problem with OTT release, but rather the short release window between the two. He explained, 'Now is the time to create a window that exists in the rest of the world.' As per Aamir, that window should ideally be 'six months or five months.' He believes that this much time gives ample time for a film to perform in the cinema. The actor acknowledged that not all viewers subscribe to OTT platforms, noting, 'There is a section that does, and I'm one of them.' But, he added, the strategy should also cater to those who prefer theaters. 'I've always wanted my films to come on OTT platforms, but the period has to be six months,' he said. Aamir Khan on the Pay-Per-View Model Speaking on why the pay-per-view model wasn't used earlier, he said, 'Electronic payments weren't in place,' adding that with the arrival of UPI and other payment methods, the market has changed. According to him, now with the digitization, it's the right time to explore a windowed approach between theatres and OTT using PPV as an interim model. Speaking on why he didn't make a deal with major streaming platforms for Sitaare Zameen Par, Aamir said that his partners 'were not ready for this decision, and hence, they backed out.' Still, he remains confident in his strategy, saying, 'I still feel there is an audience that would watch it on Netflix or Amazon when it does come on an OTT channel, if they so decide.' Released on June 20, 2025, Sitaare Zameen Par was released in theaters on June 20, 2025, and became available on YouTube from August 1, 2025.
