Red alert is issued by Mandi DC today as well. Awaiting authorities' approval on the same, will be there soonest possible. Thanks," the post read. Earlier on Friday, several houses were damaged and vehicles were washed away due to the cloudbursts and heavy rainfall in the state over the last 24 hours. A local whose house has been damaged following a cloudburst said, "Everything got washed away after a cloudburst. We are staying at our relatives' house." At least 37 people have died and Rs 400 crore worth of property was damaged as torrential rains disrupted life across Himachal Pradesh, according to the state Disaster Management Authority. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a rain alert for the state until July 7. According to the Himachal Pradesh State Disaster Management Authority and the Revenue Department, the state has suffered damages amounting to more than Rs 400 crore due to incessant monsoon rains. Search, rescue, and relief operations are underway, particularly in the worst-hit Mandi district, where several roads remain blocked and essential services are disrupted. "We have recorded over Rs 400 crore in losses so far, as entered in our system. But the actual damage is likely to be much higher," said DC Rana, Special Secretary of the State Disaster Management Authority and the Revenue Department, while speaking to the media on Wednesday. "Our primary focus at the moment is on search, rescue, and restoration. Detailed damage assessment will take time," he added. The worst-affected area remains Thunag subdivision of Mandi, where major restoration efforts are in progress.

Sardaar Ji 3 Global Box Office Collection: Diljit Dosanjh's Film Earns Rs 33.60 Crore In A Week Amid India Ban
Diljit Dosanjh's Sardaar Ji 3 hit the cinema screens worldwide on June 27. Despite skipping a theatrical release in India due to backlash over the casting of Pakistani actor Hania Aamir, the film has made a significant impact globally. The horror comedy minted Rs 33.60 crore overseas in just one week. Team Diljit Dosanjh shared the news in an Instagram post on Friday. " SARDAAR JI 3 Record Breaking OVERSEAS." The text on the poster read, "MASSIVE GLOBAL TURNOUT. ONE WEEK—33.60+ CR* (GROSS) SARDAARJI 3. NOW IN CINEMAS." View this post on Instagram A post shared by TEAM DOSANJH (@teamdiljitglobal) While Sardaar Ji 3 didn't release in India, it is being screened in Pakistani theatres and if videos on social media are to be believed, it's receiving a rave response. It is directed by Amar Hundal and produced by Gunbir Singh Sidhu, Manmord Sidhu, and Diljit Dosanjh. Punjabi singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh was embroiled in a controversy after it was revealed that he is sharing screen space with Pakistani actor Hania Aamir in Sardaar Ji 3. The makers only released the movie in international territories amid the diplomatic and military tensions between India and Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22, 2025. Reacting to the controversy in an interview with BBC Asian Network, Diljit Dosanjh had said, "When this film was made, everything was fine. We shot it in February and things were okay back then. After that, a lot of big things happened that were beyond our control. So the producers decided that the film obviously won't be released in India now, so they'll release it overseas. The producers have invested a lot of money, and when the film was being made, nothing like this was happening." He added, "They know there will be a loss because you're removing an entire territory. Even when I signed the film, everything was fine. Now the situation is not in our hands. So if the producers want to release it abroad, I support them." While Diljit Dosanjh has been facing backlash on social media and elsewhere, celebrities such as his Amar Singh Chamkila director Imtiaz Ali, veteran writer Javed Akhtar, and singer Jasbir Jassi have backed him amid the controversy.

Box Office: Sitaare Zameen Par collects Rs 132 crore in 2 weeks, Aamir Khan starrer aims at Rs 160 crore finish in India
Sitaare Zameen Par, starring Aamir Khan in the lead alongside an ensemble cast of specially challenged real-life individuals, has completed its two-week run at the box office. The movie, directed by RS Prasanna, not only won the audience's love but also emerged as a Clean Hit venture. Sitaare Zameen Par collects Rs 132 crore net in 14 days in India Bankrolled by Aamir Khan Productions, Sitaare Zameen Par debuted with an impressive Rs 87.50 crore net in its opening week. It stormed past the Rs 100 crore mark on its second Saturday (Day 9) and wrapped its second weekend by adding Rs 32.50 crore net to the tally. The movie experienced a significant drop on weekdays as it lost major screens to new releases, including Maa and F1 (Formula One). It netted just Rs 12 crore from the second Monday to the second Thursday, ending the second week at Rs 44.50 crore net. With its impressive opening week and a decent second week, the total two-week cume of Sitaare Zameen Par now stands at Rs 132 crore net at the Indian box office. The Day Wise India Net Collections Of Sitaare Zameen Par Are As Under Particulars India Net Collection Week 1 Rs 87.50 crore 2nd Friday Rs 6.50 crore 2nd Saturday Rs 12.25 crore 2nd Sunday Rs 13.75 crore 2nd Monday Rs 3.50 crore 2nd Tuesday Rs 3.50 crore 2nd Wednesday Rs 2.50 crore 2nd Thursday Rs 2.50 crore Total Rs 132 crore net in 14 days Sitaare Zameen Par targets Rs 160 crore finish Co-starring Genelia Deshmukh, the sports drama should aim for an encouraging jump on the third weekend. However, the movie is facing two new releases this weekend as Metro…In Dino and Jurassic World Rebirth arrived in cinemas. Since Aamir Khan is in no mood to bring the movie on OTT platforms anytime soon, Sitaare Zameen Par will continue to stick in cinemas for the long run. This move can eventually benefit the film and take its lifetime earnings to an expected figure of Rs 160 crore net in India. Though it is not a reasonable figure for an Aamir Khan starrer, one must note that Sitaare Zameen Par has a moderate production cost. Moreover, the movie hit the cinemas against all odds despite the genre being considered almost dead in the post-pandemic era. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more.
