While he brings about the magic with a gripping story, Pritam will be adding his charm with the music, enhancing the experience entirely.”

Let’s set the scene with the trailer:

Experiencing all they have shared so far,...

Mumbai glittered on Thursday evening as Sitaare Zameen Par – Aamir Khan’s latest film – hosted its grand premiere, drawing an extraordinary lineup of Indian cinema’s biggest stars. The much-anticipated screening, held on 19 June ahead of the film’s global release, turned into an unforgettable night of love, laughter, and cinematic pride.

In a rare sight, Indian film icons Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan both attended, delighting fans and photographers alike. A lighthearted moment between superstars Salman and Aamir quickly went viral: Salman quipped to the paparazzi that Sitaare Zameen Par was first offered to him before Aamir decided to take on the lead role himself.

Shah Rukh Khan, meanwhile, was seen warmly greeting the film’s debutant actors. Dressed in a casual white tee, hoodie, and beanie, he posed for photographs and offered encouragement. His attendance followed the release of a behind-the-scenes video, which revealed a surprise visit to the film’s set.

Starring an ensemble cast including Anupam Kher, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sensharma, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ali Fazal, Neena Gupta, and Saswata Chatterjee, Anurag Basu’s Metro…इन दिनों is getting ready to rlease on July 4th. The next track from heart filled world has dropped and once again it us moving and Melbournedious. ‘Aur Mohabbat Kitni Karoon’ composed by Pritam, and sung in the timeless voice of Arijit Singh — tells the story of a love that is passionate, unconditional but unspoken.

Written by Sandeep Srivastava, the song brings to light all the love that hides in the silences and stolen glances; the one that that’s present even in the angriest arguments.

Following ‘Zamaana Lage’s’ reflection on a love lost, ‘Dil Ka Kya’s’ moving ode to heartbreak, and ‘Mann Ye Mera’s’ beautiful celebration of new love, ‘Aur Mohabbat Kitni Karoon’ is...

The third track from Metro…इन दिनों has dropped, ‘Mann Ye Mera’, and it’s everything you would want a love song to be. Tender, heartfelt, the music and the lyrics are soaked in the sweetness of falling in love.

Directed by Anurag Basu, the film features an ensemble cast including Anupam Kher, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sensharma, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ali Fazal, Neena Gupta, and Saswata Chatterjee.

Composed by the music maverick Pritam and featuring the expressive voice of Vishal Mishra, ‘Mann Ye Mera’ is penned by Neelesh Misra. While ‘Zamaana Lage’ explored feelings of change and loneliness, followed by ‘Dil ka kya’, which delved into the complexities of love and separation, ‘Mann Ye Mera’ is a happy track that dives into the quiet magic of being in love. Whether you’re in love, remembering it, or waiting for it, this is the song that finds you.

Subhash K Jha looks back at 2013’s Fukrey, directed by Mrighdeep Singh Lamba, produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani, and starring Pulkit Samrat, Manjot Singh, Varun Sharma, Ali Fazal, Priya Anand, Vishakha Singh, Pankaj Tripathi, and Richa Chadda.

There is something about the theatre of the absurd that brings on a volley of unwarranted nonsense in the filmmakers of this country. Fukrey is about an eclectic bunch of no-good students poised between a rapidly-receding adolescence and a reluctant manhood is far funnier, more intelligent sharply–enacted and deftly executed than the recent much-lauded Kai Po Che.

And yes, though the boys think and talk a lot about sex, there is a refreshing absence of double-meanings in the dialogues. Fukrey with its inventive plot and wickedly dead-on characterizations is the kind of rare and precious comedy where the actors seem to have adopted their roles without considering their own ambitions as an actor.

Metro…इन दिनों, the final chapter in Anurag Basu’s hyperlinked trilogy, produced by Bhushan Kumar (T-Series) and Basu, hits theatres on 4th July 2025. The film brings together some of the finest actors in the film industry. One jodi, that is receiving lots of praise is that of Pankaj Tripathi and Konkona Sensharma. The excitement surrounding their on-screen collaboration is palpable; not just because of their individual brilliance, but because of the genuine camaraderie and chemistry observed between the two in the trailer.

Talking about his experience of working with Konkona Sensharma for the first time, actor Pankaj Tripathi said, “This was my first time working with Konkona Ji – she is an extraordinary actress, and that’s well-known to everyone. I was a bit nervous because it was somewhat unusual; I wondered if I’d be able to act well alongside her… But Konkona is a professional actor.”

Which Kamal Haasan Film On IMDb Has A Lower Rating Than Thug Life? (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Kamal Haasan’s latest outing, Thug Life, hit the big screen last week and received an underwhelming response from many critics. While the lead performances earned praise, several other aspects were criticized, including the weak storyline and a lacklustre second half.

The inevitable comparisons to Mani Ratnam and Kamal Haasan’s iconic collaboration, Nayakan, didn’t do the film any favours either.

Thug Life Movie Review(Photo Credit –Instagram)

What’s Good: Kamal Haasan’s performance, the gripping first half, some of the action sequences and Silambarasan’s performance.

What’s Bad: The second half completely falters, half-baked plot and sequences devoid of logic, no development of the supporting star cast.

Loo Break: You can honestly take one in the second half, it won’t result in much of a miss.

Watch or Not?: It can be a one-time watch for all the Kamal Haasan fans out there but it was certainly a missed opportunity.

Portrayed with a mix of stubbornness and smarts by Nikohl Boosheri, Roya is the kind of ponderer who sees images from computer screens and lines of iridescent code on the building walls and roadways of Herat.

“The first time I touched a computer, it was like a light in the dark,” the young educator says, standing in front of a classroom of rapt high school girls in Herat Province. Something similar could be said of “Rule Breakers,” which tells the story of Roya and the four gifted students she enlists for Afghanistan’s first robotics team.

While director Bill Guttentag leans into the rules of genre more than breaks with them, the film is a beam of light — about math,...
