Last Updated: In the clip, Genelia D'Souza is seated while her team styles her hair. Dressed in a simple white top, she radiates natural beauty and happiness. Genelia D'Souza is all beaming with joy as she steps into a brand-new film project and her fans couldn't be happier. Taking to Instagram Stories, the actress shared the super amazing news via a video that gave a peek into her dressing-up session before embarking on the new journey. In the clip, the actress is seated while her team styles her hair. Dressed in a simple white top, she radiates natural beauty and happiness. However, what caught everyone's attention was a short text she added to the story, writing, 'New film = new excitement. Let's go." The message perfectly captures her enthusiasm and fans are already buzzing with curiosity, waiting for details about her upcoming project. The actress did not reveal any details about the film or her role, but the joy on her face says it all. Genelia D'Souza was away from the screens for a while before making her grand comeback to acting with her Marathi debut film, Ved, alongside her husband Riteish Deshmukh. The film opened to a positive response and became the second-highest-grossing Marathi film after Sairat. Her last performance in Sitaare Zameen Par alongside Aamir Khan also won hearts. The film, released earlier this year, received rave reviews and remains one of the biggest openers of the year. Genelia D'Souza On Her Sabbatical During her participation in a panel discussion on women's empowerment at Elle Impact, the actress said that she was discouraged from making a comeback after a 10-year break to focus on her kids and family. She said, 'It's a part of our life. I feel we hype our success too much and stress a bit too much on failure, whereas the impact and intent of your daily life are what truly matter. Being an actor who has worked in six languages, and someone who took a break because I was having babies, I remember people telling me, 'Oh, you want to come back to films after 10 years? It won't work,' but my comeback film became a cult hit. We shouldn't listen to people." Sitaare Zameen Par Coming back to Sitaare Zameen Par, the film is based on the Spanish movie Campeones and serves as a spiritual sequel to Taare Zameen Par – featuring Darsheel Safary alongside Aamir Khan. view comments First Published: July 29, 2025, 12:28 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

'Junior' box office collection Day 3: Kireeti Reddy's film sees steady growth over opening weekend; rakes in Rs 5.40 Crore
Kireeti Reddy's debut film 'Junior' wrapped up its opening weekend with a good box office performance. The film Telugu-Kannada bilingual film, released on July 18, amidst stiff competition. Hunior Movie Review According to early estimates by trade portal Sacnilk, 'Junior' earned an estimated Rs 1.50 crore on Day 1 (Friday). Collections saw a modest rise on Saturday, with an estimated Rs 1.80 crore collection, followed by a stronger performance on Sunday, where the film added another Rs 2.10 crore, its highest single-day total so far. This brings the three-day domestic total to approximately Rs 5.40 crore. On Sunday, the film recorded an overall 30.06% occupancy in Telugu markets and 28.83% in Kannada-speaking regions. Co-starring Sreeleela and Genelia D'Souza, the film's box office performance, according to sacnilk, makes for a promising start despite mixed reviews. While Junior didn't break records at the box office, trade experts note that the film's box office performance shows encouraging signs considering its limited release and mixed reception. It also faced tough competition from other releases in the same week. Directed by Radhakrishna Reddy, Junior follows the story of Abhi (Kireeti), a spirited young man working under Vijay Soujanya (Genelia D'Souza), the future CEO of a major firm. As Abhi dives deeper into his role, he uncovers shocking truths linking their pasts, leading to a blend of action, emotion, and drama. Initial reactions on social media have been positive, with Kireeti's screen presence and impressive dance moves earning comparisons to Jr NTR. However, not all feedback was glowing. Some viewers called the plot 'predictable' and said the film leaned too heavily on familiar commercial formulas.

'Sitaare Zameen Par' review Times of India's critics gave the movie an impressive 3.5 stars rating and in the review mentioned, '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. ' The review also highlighted certain points that could have been better. For instance, the overly sentimental climax or segments that were stretched more than needed.
