Aamir Khan is making waves in the Indian film distribution landscape with an unprecedented move that sidesteps traditional streaming platforms entirely. The Bollywood superstar has revealed that his latest theatrical hit “Sitaare Zameen Par” will be released exclusively on YouTube Movies-on-Demand starting Aug. 1, marking a new approach to post-theatrical distribution.

The film, which has surpassed $30 million worldwide at the box office, will be available for rent at INR100 ($1.15) in India and in 38 international markets including the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, Germany, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore and Spain, with localized pricing for each territory.

“Roughly 15 years ago, I realized that our most successful films, like ‘3 Idiots’ or ‘Dangal,’ the statistic of people watching in theaters is about 2-3% of the population,” Khan tells Variety. “So the next thought that came to me is, how do we reach out to the remaining 97-98%?”

The film, a spiritual successor to Khan’s 2007 classic “Taare Zameen Par,...

The coming-of-age story is a constant in global cinema, a narrative form revisited by every generation and culture. In a quiet corner of 1997 Ontario, writer-director Nicola Rose’s Magnetosphere finds a new key in which to play this familiar tune.

We meet thirteen-year-old Maggie at a moment of deep upheaval; her family has moved, thrusting her into the terrifying landscape of a new school. She faces the standard anxieties of adolescence—the desperate need for friendship, the sting of insecurity.

Yet Maggie’s world is uniquely her own. She lives with synesthesia, a condition that creates a private orchestra of color and sound only she can perceive. Emotions have hues and noises create visual patterns. Fearing this makes her irreparably “weird,” she keeps her sensory reality a secret, navigating the already treacherous waters of youth while guarding a profound part of her identity.

Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Collection Day 24 Update! ( Photo Credit – YouTube )

After the failure of Laal Singh Chaddha, Aamir Khan took some time off from films. He’s returned to the big screens with the spiritual sequel of Taare Zameen Par, Sitaare Zameen Par. The sports comedy drama may soon break his 9-year-old bad spell. Scroll below for the day 24 box office collection!

Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Collection Day 24

Rs Prasanna’s directorial is now in its fourth week of theatrical run. It was the #1 choice of audience until the arrival of Metro In Dino. The ticket windows have gotten congested, and the consequence is visible in the box office collection. As per estimates, Sitaare Zameen Par earned 2.80 crores on day 24. It witnessed a slight growth compared to the 2.50 crores earned on Saturday.

The 24-day total at the Indian box office concludes at around 159.79 crore net, which is 188.55 crore in gross earnings.

IMDb Top 250 Films Worldwide: Aamir Khan Rules 3 Out Of The 8 Spots (Photo Credit – Instagram/Netflix)

Aamir Khan is currently winning hearts at the box office with his latest release, Sitaare Zameen Par. The sports dramedy is 7.3 on IMDb and churning out good numbers for the actor, racing towards the hit mark. However, it is still a good distance from the hit mark!

Top 250 Films On IMDb (Worldwide)

Apart from Sitaare Zameen Par, Mr Perfectionist is currently ruling IMDb as well. In the list of the top 250 films of all time, 8 Indian films have found a spot for themselves. Interestingly, none of them feature in the top 50!

Aamir Khan Rules 3 Spots!

Aamir Khan has one film in the top 100, while he rules three spots in the top 250 films. These three films are 3 Idiots, Taare Zameen Par, and Dangal. Meanwhile, two South Indian Films claim a spot in the top 250 films worldwide.

Subhash K Jha turns the spotlight on Rituparno Ghosh’s KhelaAntar Mahal. Or he could be a filmmaker, like Prosenjit in Khela. Bearded, brooding, intense and idealistic Prosenjit wants to make a film about little Buddha.

And he wants only little Akashneel for the role.

Akashneel, a delightfully shrewd calculating and clever observer of adult quirks, suggests the director ‘keednap’ him when his parents refuse permission to shoot.

There begins a charming endearing journey into a world of creativity and manipulation.

The little boy’s tantrums brought to a close with never-ending bars of chocolate by the ever-patient dress designer (Raima Sen) will ring a bell in all those filmmakers who have shot with kids from Raj Kapoor in Boot Polish to Shekhar Kapoor in Masoom to Aamir Khan and Amole Gupte in Taare Zameen Par.

Aamir Khan is currently basking in the success of his latest release, Sitaare Zameen Par. The spiritual sequel to his film, Taare Zameen Par (2007), arrived at the cinemas on June 20, 2025. It opened to single digits on the first day, but after a positive word of mouth, the film picked up, and it’s doing exceptionally well even in the third week. So far, Sitaare Zameen Par has collected over Rs 200 crore worldwide.

However, it hasn’t been a smooth road for Aamir Khan so far. This is his first big hit after a gap of 9 years. His last successful movie was Dangal, which was released in 2016. After Dangal, Aamir Khan’s Thugs of Hindostan (2018) and his ambitious project, Laal Singh Chaddha (2022) tanked at the box office. While Aamir accepts that Thugs of Hindostan was destined to fail, he is dejected after Laal Singh’s flop show,...

Aamir Khan gave a blockbuster in his directorial debut, Taare Zameen Par, in 2008. The ace actor hit the bull’s eye in his first attempt itself, and the movie went on to win the Best Film award at the 53rd Filmfare Awards. But was Aamir the real director of the film?

Amole Gupte, the film’s creative director and original story writer, disputes this. He had a fallout with Aamir after the actor took the movie from him and allegedly claimed it as his creative work.

How Did Aamir Khan End Up Replacing Akshaye Khanna?

According to Amole, he wanted to make the movie with Akshaye Khanna and had requested Aamir to arrange a meeting with Khanna for script narration. However, Aamir himself wanted to first hear the script before he could pass it on to Akshaye. Khan heard the script, and he...

Bollywood actor Aamir Khan has donned the director’s hat for only one film until now, and that was ‘Taare Zameen Par’ aka ‘Like Stars On Earth’. The critically acclaimed film, written by Amole Gupte, came out in 2007 and struck the right chords with the audience.

But did you know that Aarya director Ram Madhvani also directed an important part of the film? Read on to learn what segment that was.

Which Part of Taare Zameen Par Did Ram Madhvani Direct?

You might be a bit surprised to know that Ram Madhvani directed the song Bheja Kum, which featured in the National Film Award-winning movie. It appeared in the later reels of the first half of the movie. And here is why the song was so important for the film’s story.

India has selected Laapataa Ladies (Lost Ladies) as its candidate for the Best International Feature Film category at the 97th Academy Awards.

Directed by Kiran Rao and produced by Jio Studios, the Hindi film is described as a lighthearted satire on patriarchy.

It follows two brides, whose identities are hidden by an elaborate bridal head covering, who get mixed up on the eve of their wedding days, setting them on the paths of very different destinies from those they had envisaged.

A committee overseen by the Film Federation of India selected the title from 29 contenders which also included Bollywood hit Animal, Malayalam National Award winner Aattam and Cannes title All We Imagine As Light.

The latter film, directed by Payal Kapadia, had been cited in international circles as a hot contender to represent India this year, thanks to its Cannes credentials.

Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, an icon embodying strength and courage, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash.

After years of suppressed rage,...

Dev Patel’s bone-crunching action film, Monkey Man, is swinging onto digital platforms faster than Atefeh Safaei can throw a punch. According to the film’s official Twitter account, Monkey Man comes to digital to rent or buy tomorrow, April 23rd! Despite underperforming at the box office with $28M+, Monkey Man is a hit with critics and fans. On Rotten Tomatoes, Patel’s directorial debut is 88% on the Tomatometer, with an 84% Fresh Audience Score.

Still, Monkey Man‘s most formidable opponent is Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, which reigns supreme with $485M+. The New Empire opened one week ahead of Monkey Man, gobbling up most of the action-oriented box office. With Monkey Man coming to digital,...

Indian actor Vipin Sharma is earning global acclaim for playing a trans character in Dev Patel’s feature directorial debut “Monkey Man.”

Sharma plays Alpha, the leader of a trans community known in India as hijras, who is instrumental in providing a new lease on life to Patel’s character when he’s down and out in “Monkey Man.”

Aamir Khan’s “Taare Zameen Par” (2007) was Sharma’s breakthrough role, and since then he has won plaudits for “Paan Singh Tomar,” “Gangs of Wasseypur” and “Shahid” (all 2012), “Raanjhanaa” (2013), “Raman Raghav 2.0” (2016), “Paatal Lok” (2020) and “Dear Jassi” (2023).

When director Anthony Maras offered Sharma a role in “Hotel Mumbai” (2018), starring Patel, the actor accepted. “He said, ‘It’s not a very big part, but it’s a very interesting part.’ I immediately took it because it was going to make me meet Dev who I really wanted to meet,” Sharma tells Variety.

Dev Patel’s extreme action film Monkey Man swings into the top spot during Thursday previews at the box office, exorcising Arkasha Stevenson’s The First Omen with $1.4M to the origin story’s $725K. Monkey Man’s preview screening started at 5 Pm at 2,750 theaters on Thursday, while The First Omen screened at 7 Pm.

Meanwhile, Adam Wingard’s Monsterverse rumble, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, punched its way past $100M on Thursday, with estimates calling for $32M during its second weekend in cinemas.

A couple weeks ago, Universal unveiled a trailer for the Dev Patel-directed, Jordan Peele-produced action film Monkey Man, which is set to reach theatres on April 5th. You can check that trailer out in the embed above, and as JoBlo’s own Steve Seigh described it, it’s “a tour-de-force of hand-to-hand combat, Jackie Chan-like environmental manipulation, and visuals that pop with color, blood, and broken bones!” Today, the Motion Picture Association ratings board announced that they have given Monkey Man an R rating… and this announcement comes about four months after the previous time they gave the film an R rating.

The other time the MPA gave Monkey Man an R was on October 25th. At that time, the film was branded with an R for “strong bloody violence throughout, rape, language throughout, sexual content/nudity and drug use”. Today, they revealed that a new cut...

Veteran actress Ratna Pathak Shah, who is known for her iconic character Maya Sarabhai from the Indian sitcom ‘Sarabhai vs Sarabhai’ is set to make her foray in Gujarati cinema with ‘Kutch Express’. The actress called the film an “unusual opportunity”.

The film, the poster of which was recently released, also stars Manasi Parekh, Darsheel Safary from ‘Taare Zameen Par’ and Dharmendra Gohil.

He is also seen judging a number of singing reality shows and currently he is among the panel of judges on ‘Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs’, bet told how as a kid, he was shy to perform in front of an audience.

“When I was 3 or 4 years old, I used to feel very shy performing in front of an audience,” he said.

In this digital age, where we are constantly checking our device every fifteen minutes, it’s hard to imagine life without it! But superstar Aamir Khan does the unthinkable – The actor has decided to turn off his cell phone till the release of Laal Singh Chaddha.

The decision to forgo his phone stemmed from the fact that the actor felt it constantly interfered with the manner in which he conducts his work.

While it’s well known that Aamir Khan gets under the skin of his characters like none other and fully surrenders to the projects he is working on, he doesn’t want his phone to become a hindrance while he does the same with Laal Singh Chaddha and hence takes this step.

The film is by far the most anticipated release this year and keeping to tradition, this Aamir Khan starrer will release on Christmas like the superstar’s other blockbusters.

The Aamir Khan-film Taare Zameen Par released 13 years ago on this day. Actress Tisca Chopra, who played a pivotal role, recalls how the film started a conversation about inclusion and sensitised parents towards the uniqueness of their children.

Tisca Chopra posted behind-the-scenes pictures on Instagram where she is seen with Aamir and other cast members.

"The joy of being part of a piece of storytelling that not just changed the narrative of education in the country, started a conversation about inclusion and sensitised parents toward the uniqueness of their children," she stated.

Directed by Aamir Khan, the film revolves around an eight-year-old dyslexic child, played by Darsheel Safary. He fails in academics and is sent to a boarding school by his father. The boy's new art teacher suspects he is dyslexic and helps him to overcome the disability.

New Delhi, Nov 11 (Ians) Tisca Chopra says the tendency to stereotype in Bollywood is not easy to duck, and going against the wave is a challenge.

"Ducking stereotypes is not easy, particularly in Bollywood, which is famous for stereotyping actors. In case you portray a role well, you'll be offered the same role further. The same character will be offered to you with a different name in film after film," Tisca told Ians.

"It hasn't been easy to duck the stereotypes, I've had to stay without work to not repeat the characters. It has required me to have fortitude and patience but I've been fortunate that sooner or later something interesting has come to me. It has also pushed me in the direction of creating my content," added the actress, who has produced the short film "Chutney".

Bollywood has paid its due to the evergreen character of the ‘teacher’ figure in more ways than one. Bollywood hasn't remained far from portraying the guru-shishya bond on the big screen.

Secret Superstar

Starring Zaira Wasim, Aamir Khan

Directed by Advait Chandan

It is easy and comforting to get swayed by the rags-to-riches fable constructed with such contemporary diligence and zeal by first-time director Advait Chandan. But once you get to penetrate the bubble of bonhomie and get into thick of things, so to speak, you come face-to-face with an unnerving sterility.

Secret Superstar is one of those well-meaning films that keeps reminding you constantly of how well-meaning it is. Many times as I watched Advait Chandan’s panoply of tricks and treats I felt I was being offered a Christmas deal with ‘Santa’ Aamir Khan mentoring the film’s 15-year old wanna-shine Zaira Wasim whose brilliance as an actor is far more dazzling than anything that is written into this film to support her dreams.

Everyone, we are told in many different ways in this stretched-out ode to wish-fulfilment, has the right to dream.

The focus of interest in Aamir Khan’s new film Secret Superstar is not Aamir Khan. It is Zaira Wasim. Aamir enters the film halfway through the plot, just as he did in Taare Zameen Par, but according to preview audiences he has barely half an hour playing-time A major film personality who saw the film at a special preview says Secret Superstar as another Taare ZameenPar. “Again Aamir playsRead More

Aamir Khan’s next big screen outing Secret Superstar, which is based around the life of Zaira Wasim, who plays a Muslim girl aspiring to be a singer. While in his previous production, Taare Zameen Par, he played the role of a schoolteacher; Aamir plays the quirky music composer Shakti Kumarr. The audience meet this outlandish character in the latest track from the film, Sexy Baliye, which has been crooned by Mika Singh and composed by Amit Trivedi.

In the song, Aamir is seen in a never seen before avatar. Donning an outlandish jacket, blonde spikes whilst dancing like a roadside Romeo, the actor yet again has not failed to surprise the audience.

Check out Aamir

Secret Superstar releases in cinemas on 19th October 2017.

Advait Chandan is all set to make his debut as a director with Secret Superstar, featuring Zaira Wasim, MeherVij and Aamir Khan.

Interestingly, before he sat in the director’s chair, Chandan Was Aamir Khan’s manager. Recalling the moment when he met Aamir for the first time he said, “I remember his first message, his first instruction and also the moment when I was introduced to him. I distinctly remember his first instruction during the shooting of Taare Zameen Par when he called me by my name and requested to arrange ice cream for the whole unit. My next call was to my mother.”

Apprehensive about reaching out to Aamir for the narration of Secret Superstar, he narrated the idea first to producer and screenwriter Kiran Rao. It was during an outdoor shoot for the film Pk when Kiran heard the story and gave Advait the go ahead to write the screenplay.

He’s well known for playing some serious characters, like Mahavir Phogat in the critically-acclaimed Dangal, and some seriously loveable ones, like Nikumbh Sir in Taare Zameen Par – but for Secret Superstar, it seems Aamir Khan has gone bad in a most interesting way.

Directed by Adavit Chandan and starring Zaira Wasim, who also appeared alongside Khan as his second daughter, Geeta Phogat in Dangal, Secret Superstar is set to be one of Khan’s more unusual roles.

The film, which is about a young girl who hides her identity on the Internet to chase her dreams as a musician, sees Khan take on the role of the devilish Shakti Kumaarr, and according to his own words Shakti is not the nicest character he’s ever played, “The character I am playing in the film flirts with girls and has all bad qualities one could think of.”

Even from the promotional shots of the film,...

It is a known fact that Amol Gupte was supposed to direct Taare Zameen Par, before Aamir Khan took over the reins.

At one crucial point in the telling of this simple and heartwarming tale of a tribal girl’s climb from the pits to Himalayan heights, Rahul Bose playing an upright bureaucrat, asks the little Andhra girl what is her purpose for climbing the Everest.

The simple confessional articulation exemplifies this film’s mood. So rich in its message, so far-flung in its intentions and purpose and yet so intimate in treatment and execution, Rahul Bose wins you over with his honesty of purpose. There is no duplicitous bones in the structure of this film.Sure, there are passages in this motivational tale that follow the rags-to-riches trajectory with textbookish precision.

Well the little one has now grown up to be a handsome teenager, and what's more, he will soon be coming on the big screen with his upcoming film Quickie, which is a teenage love story. The movie will be directed by Pradip Atluri and is being produced by producers Tony D'Souza, Amul Vikas Mohan and Nitin Upadhyaya. Taran Adarsh took to Twitter to share the teaser poster of Darsheel's upcoming film and the teenager is very excited to begin his second innings in Bollywood.

“Dangal” is Disney India’s big Christmas bet, and the Aamir Khan wrestling drama starts strong. The characters are sketched with the kind of patience that can only come from a place of confidence. There are enough crowd-pleasing moments to fill an entire summer blockbuster. The soundtrack is brash and exhilarating; the songs here will dominate many workout playlists in the new year. The social commentary is not subtle, but it is forthright and consistent.

He did it in 1998’s “Ghulam,” when he turned down a body double or special effects in favor of sprinting towards an oncoming train for a stunt, avoiding it by a mere second and gambling his life for the sake of realism.

In 1999, when a script about 19th century villagers protesting British land tax with a game of cricket was dismissed by every financier in Bollywood, Khan took on his first producing role alongside his acting credit to make the film.

Following his vintage feature Bombay Velvet, Gangs of Wasseypur director Anurag Kashyap is taking a darker turn. His new film — which he wrote, produced and directed — Raman Raghav 2.0 follows notorious serial killer Raman Raghav. Over the 1960’s in Mumbai, Raghav committed various crimes including murder and assault.

With the lead killer portrayed by Nawazuddin Siddiqui (Manjhi – The Mountain Man), the film focuses on his new obsession, a cop (played by Vicky Kaushal) as Raghav watches and creates situations where both characters go head to head. Ahead of a Cannes premiere in Directors’ Fortnight, the first trailer has landed below for the film also featuring Vipin Sharma (Taare Zameen Par), Amruta Subhash (Killa) and winner of Miss India Earth 2013 Sobhita Dhulipala.

Tisca Chopra seems to quite a favourite when it comes to starring in home productions of our Bolly stars be it Aamir Khan’s Taare Zameen Par, or Sunny Deol’s forthcoming Ghayal Once Again. But what’s even more interesting is the fact that both these films have been directed by them too.

Talking about this co-incidence, Tisca says that it’s exciting to be a part of these films and with them directing it’s all the more interesting for sure. She adds, “Being actors, they do tend to bring in a new approach so it’s nice to be working with them as co-actors and also in a different capacity with being directed by them.”

Aamir Khan's Taare Zameen Par helped many Indian parents to view their kids in a different light, where our kids, often succumbing to societal pressures, are taught to fight situations.
