This week, Aamir's 'Sitaare Zameen Par' has come face to face with the debutant-led film 'Saiyaara.' Introducing Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, this musical drama made quite an impact at the box office with an opening of Rs 20 crores. The film has outperformed the trade prediction and is expected to enjoy a further surge over its first weekend.
No OTT release for 'Sitaare Zameen Par'
Aamir Khan made it clear from the beginning that 'Sitaare Zameen Par' will only have a theatrical release.
According to him, he wants the audience to have the big-screen experience. Staying adamant on the decision, he refused more than an Rs 100 crore deal offered by a leading OTT platform, mentioned Komal Natha.
'Sitaare Zameen Par' - About the movie
Directed by RS Prasanna, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' masterfully combines emotions, humor, and a social message. While the central storyline focuses on a bold sports teacher mentoring a group of athletes with intellectual disabilities as part of his community service, the film transcends typical sports dramas.
Additionally, in this spiritual sequel of 'Taare Zameen Par,' from established actors like Aamir and Genelia to the ten newcomers, every performer has given an outstanding performance.
'Sitaare Zameen Par' review
'The film mixes sentiment with spunk, avoiding overly preachy tones. ID (intellectual disabilities) is described through relatable lines like, 'Humaari kismat haathon pe nahi, chromosome pe likh ke aati hai (Our destiny isn't written on our palms — it's written in our chromosomes).' While the underdog sports narrative and troubled-coach arc feel familiar, the film's heart and humour keep it engaging,' reads an excerpt from Times of India's review of the movie.
Our critics gave the film an impressive 3.5-star rating.

Did AR Murugadoss just blame Salman Khan starrer Sikandar's failure on his inability to understand Hindi?
Director AR Murugadoss is gearing up for the release of his next Tamil movie, Madharasi, starring Sivakarthikeyan in the lead. As part of the promotions, the director was seen at an event where he seemed to have indicated the failure of the Salman Khan starrer Sikandar, due to his inability to understand Hindi. AR Murugadoss about Salman Khan's Sikandar failure Talking about his recent venture, director AR Murugadoss said, 'When we make films in our mother tongue, it gives us strength. We know what is happening here. Today, there's a trend going and suddenly the audience gets connected with that trend.' 'When we shift language, we don't know what the youngsters are enjoying in that language. All we need is a script to believe it,' the director added. Highlighting how it feels working in other languages, Murugadoss revealed that Telugu is somewhat easy for him to understand, but he doesn't know Hindi at all. The filmmaker continued, 'For once, I can take up Telugu films, but Hindi may not work for us because after we write the script, they translate it into English. Then it is again translated into Hindi. When you make a film in an unknown language and place, it feels like you are handicapped. It is like you don't have hands.' More about Sikandar Sikandar, starring Salman Khan in the lead, is an action drama flick featuring the Bollywood superstar as Sanjay "Sikandar" Rajkot, the final heir of the Rajkot dynasty in Gujarat. Leading a life with his wife Saisri, he performs his duties as a king, standing up for his people. However, a fateful event leads to the death of his wife and the queen regent. As he is dealing with her loss, Sikandar learns his wife had decided to donate her organs to various people in Mumbai. Struck with grief, the king decides to safeguard everyone who received his wife's organs, with an old foe waiting to resurface. The movie was massively dealt with negative reviews upon release and eventually tanked at the box office. It is available for streaming on Netflix. AR Murugadoss' next Following Sikandar's failure, director AR Murugadoss' next film would be Sivakarthikeyan starrer Madharasi. The action thriller is slated to release on September 5, 2025, with the first single, Salambala, releasing on July 31, composed by Anirudh Ravichander.

Vidhu Vinod Chopra asked Vidya Balan to get a nose job before Parineeta: ‘He said let's get a surgery done, I refused'
Although she eventually came to be known as one of the finest actors of her generation, Vidya Balan's entry into the industry, let alone her rise to the top, was no cakewalk. Despite getting the chance to make an enviable acting debut, opposite Malayalam superstar Mohanlal, in screenwriter-director AK Lohithadas' Chakram, the opportunity slipped through her fingers as the project was shelved after a few days of filming. This also caused her to lose the other Malayalam projects she had signed. Though she then tried to make her foray into cinema through the Tamil industry, these efforts also proved unsuccessful. Even the Malayalam film she completed, Kalari Vikraman, failed to reach the screens, thus crushing her spirits totally. The movie remains unreleased to this day. Even for her Hindi film debut, she was asked to get a nose job by producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra. Thus, before eventually making her debut in the Bengali film Bhalo Theko (2003) and getting her big break in Parineeta (2005), Vidya endured many setbacks. Among the heartbreaks that she faced, the one that stung the most was being coerced to give up her last name. Maintaining that she was pressured into rechristening herself as 'Vidya Iyer' during her initial days trying to make her debut in Malayalam, the actor revealed that the project, however, didn't take off eventually, sparing her from having to adopt a name against her will. 'During a Malayalam film, they suggested I drop 'Balan' and use my community's name — like Manju Warrier or Samyuktha Varma. I changed it to Vidya Iyer… and cried. My parents reminded me I'd always be Vidya Balan. That film didn't happen anyway. That's when I knew: if something doesn't feel right, it's not meant to be,' she told Filmfare. As the chat progressed, she also revealed that renowned filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra wasn't entirely impressed by her face and asked her to get a nose surgery. 'Vidhu Vinod Chopra said, 'Your nose is too long, let's get a surgery done.' I refused. I've never had anything done to my face — just the odd facial. I've always believed in keeping my face the way God made it,' Vidya stated. It may be recalled that Parineeta was produced and co-written by Vidhu. Vidya Balan's debut was meant to be Malayalam film Chakram with @Mohanlal and Dileep. Film got shelved. — CinemaRare (@CinemaRareIN) October 16, 2017 Opening up about her career after receiving widespread recognition with Parineeta, Vidya admitted that the journey ahead wasn't as easy as all had expected it would be. 'Parineeta was a massive success. Top directors started calling. But at photoshoots, they'd say, 'Let's try something new with you,' and I'd think, 'What have you even seen of me to want something new?' They'd say, 'Let's make you look younger and sexy.' I was open to experimenting, but after a while, it got frustrating,' she added. Vidya, who bagged the National Film Award for Best Actress for her performance in director Milan Luthria's The Dirty Picture (2011), was last seen in the horror comedy Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 (2024).
