Sitaare Zameen Par crosses 130 cr at box office, set for tough weekend test
Sitaare Zameen Par has done great business so far, but the upcoming releases might slow down the movie's collection.
Upcoming box office clashes
The upcoming weekend could stir the box office as two big releases arrive on July 4. Anurag Basu's Metro… In Dino, a romantic anthology featuring Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, and Pankaj Tripathi, is touted as a thematic sequel to Life… In A Metro and backed by T-Series. Competing alongside is the Hindi-dubbed Jurassic World Rebirth, a sci-fi action film starring Scarlett Johansson and Mahershala Ali, directed by Gareth Edwards.
Despite the fresh competition, Sitaare Zameen Par is expected to stay strong. With steady collections and positive buzz, Aamir Khan's sports drama may enjoy another weekend surge, holding its ground in what promises to be a crowded box office race.

The movie's total domestic collection now stands at ₹130.98 crore, reflecting its stronghold across major metro cities and Tier 2 centres.

Anupam Kher recalls shutting down Aamir Khan on Dil He Ke Manta Nahin sets ‘with an English phrase': ‘He complained to Mahesh Bhatt'
Anupam Kher and Aamir Khan have most famously worked in three films — Indra Kumar's Dil (1990), Yash Chopra's Parampara (1993), and Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin (1991). At the time of filming the Mahesh Bhatt directorial, Aamir was on the cusp of becoming a superstar, having already delivered hits like Mansoor Khan's Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988) and Dil. Kher feels that's probably why Aamir had a disagreement with him on the sets of Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin, while filming the climax. 'In the climax of Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin, the father tells his daughter to run away from the wedding. The moment was very exaggerated,' recalled Kher, who played Seth Dharamchand, father to the bride, played by Pooja Bhatt. 'I was fully ready to portray it, but Aamir Khan complained to Mahesh Bhatt saab about my interpretation. He found it wrong and different. Bhatt saab added fuel to the matter and told me about Aamir's comment. I used an English phrase for Aamir Khan to shut him down,' added Kher, who wanted to remind Aamir he's a gold medallist from the National School of Drama, unlike Aamir who isn't a trained actor. 'Aamir was upset with me throughout the film. He was at that stage of becoming Aamir Khan, which he wanted to become. All my love for him,' said Kher. Aamir gained more popularity right after Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin with Mansoor's 1994 cult college caper Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar the following year. Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin marked the first time Aamir worked with Mahesh Bhatt. They followed it up with the 1993 romantic comedy Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke. Meanwhile, Bhatt gave Kher his big break in Bollywood with his 1984 relationship drama Saaransh. Post that, they collaborated for Janam (1985), Kaash (1987), Thikana (1987), Kabzaa (1988), Daddy (1989), Awaargi (1990), Gumrah (1993), Tadipaar (1993), Papa Kahte Hain (1996), and Chaahat (1996). In a new, exclusive interview with SCREEN, Kher claimed that seasoned actors like him and Neena Gupta can perform even on their feet because of their education at NSD and experience in theatre. 'Without realizing, we've worked like theatre in this film (Metro… In Dino). Even in the case of Shiv Shastri Balboa, we did that. That film can be adapted into a very good play. So that's the advantage of being experienced, educated actors. We can incorporate our experiences into these films which we probably can't in others,' said Kher.

Kher is also returning to direction 23 years after Om Jai Jagdish with Tanvi the Great, a coming-of-age film about an autistic girl's dream to join the Indian Army. Kher also plays a supporting role in the movie.

Thug Life OTT release: Kamal Haasan, Mani Ratnam's film skips 8-week window, streams online a month after theatrical run
Tamil film Thug Life marked the reunion of superstar Kamal Haasan and filmmaker Mani Ratnam after 3 years. While audiences had high expectations from the duo, the film failed to impress, resulting in an underwhelming box office performance. Now, just a month after its theatrical release, the film is streaming on OTT. Kamal Haasan's Thug Life release on OTT. Although most films follow an 8-week window between theatrical and OTT release, Netflix appears to have broken the norm for Thug Life. The streaming platform announced the film's digital debut on social media, writing: 'It is a battle between Death and Rangaraya Sakthivel, want to see who wins the game? Watch Thug Life, now on Netflix in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam #ThugLifeOnNetflix #Thuglife #KamalHaasan #SilambarasanTR A #ManiRatnam Film An @arrahman Musical.' For the unversed, the film was banned in Karnataka following Kamal Haasan's controversial remark that 'Kannada was born from Tamil.' The actor refused to apologise, stating, "It is a democracy. I believe in the law and justice. My love for Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala is true. Nobody will suspect it except for those who have an agenda. I've been threatened earlier too, and if I am wrong, I would apologise, if I'm not, I won't.' Despite the Supreme Court allowing its release, the film was not screened in Karnataka, as the distributor there declined to proceed. About Thug Life The action drama stars Simbu, Trisha, Ashok Selvan, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Nasser, Joju George, Ali Fazal, and others. It tells the story of an ageing gangster whose adopted son turns against him due to a personal vendetta. Featuring music by AR Rahman, the film is jointly produced by Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan. Upon release, Thug Life faced criticism for Kamal's lengthy monologues and a disjointed second half. Some viewers even felt that Mani Ratnam had simply rehashed Mirzapur. The film failed to recreate the cinematic magic of their earlier collaboration Nayakan, and ended its box office run with just ₹ 97.25 crore worldwide.
