But did you know, Mr Perfectionist also welcomed the first 500 crore club? In 2013, Dhoom 3 became the first Bollywood film to achieve the milestone with its global lifetime of 601 crore gross.

However, Dhoom 3 isn’t the fastest film to enter the 500 crore club. It was Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2,...

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,...

Sitaare Zameen Par has finally ended Aamir Khan’s dry spell! The Bollywood superstar has been searching for a commercial winner for a long time, and his wait is over after 8 years. His last success was Dangal, which was released in 2016. After Dangal, the actor finally tasted success. Let’s find out how much collection it has made at the worldwide box office in 11 days!

The Bollywood comedy-drama placed itself in a comfortable position during the opening week, and during the second weekend, despite new arrivals, it performed really well.

Sitaare Zameen Par’s success might be a breath of fresh air for the actor, who witnessed a hit at the box office in 2016 for the last time with Dangal. Though it was followed by Secret Superstar’s phenomenal success, it was more of Zaira Waseem’s success!

Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla have starred in eight movies together in their film career. In fact, the two made their debuts in the film industry opposite each other in a romantic drama, titled Qayamat se Qayamat Tak (1988). The audience loved the chemistry between the two actors, and in their filmography, they went on to work together in films like Tum Mere Ho (1990), Aatank Hi Aatank (1991), Hum Hai Rahi Pyar Ke (1993), and Ishq (1996), to name a few.

However, despite being good friends, they did have a fallout, and Aamir Khan didn’t talk to Juhi Chawla for nearly seven years. The Sitaare Zameen Par actor spoke about it during a recent podcast show with Raj Shamani. While addressing his own red flags as a person, Aamir said that one trait of his is being very obstinate and not making up after a fallout with his close ones.

While the two have not spoken publicly against each other, there was a time back in 2009 when they did use some words against each other.

It was a period when Aamir Khan was gearing up for the release of his movie, 3 Idiots (2009). The Dangal actor had adopted a unique style of promoting his movie, which was by touring the country garbed as a normal tourist and meeting random people. At the same time, Shah Rukh Khan was busy promoting his movie, My Name Is Khan. However, when King Khan was asked about Aamir’s style of marketing a movie, he said that...

Since it marks the actor’s comeback on the big screen after almost three years, all eyes are set on how it performs at the Indian box office.

So, his upcoming sports comedy-drama is an important film for him. Yes, the trailer mostly received positive reactions but it made it...

The universal struggle for opportunity and recognition among women filmmakers took center stage on the sidelines of this year’s Shanghai International Film Festival, as four leading industry figures shared their experiences to inspire and inform.

The Kering Women in Motion initiative — launched by the French luxury group to “highlight women in arts and culture, change mindsets, and combat gender inequality” — held its first-ever China event this week, bringing together Chinese actor-producer Liang Jing, Brazilian filmmaker Luiza Mariani, Indian multihyphenate Kiran Rao and Chinese actress Lyu Yanting, best known for voicing the title character in the animated blockbuster franchise Ne Zha.

Rao, who produced the global hit Dangal (2016), which grossed a historic $200 million at the Chinese box office, reflected on significant industry shifts she’s witnessed over her 25-year career.

“I think we’ve seen that [change] in the kinds of stories and roles that women get to play on screen,...

The voice behind China’s beloved animated character Ne Zha took center stage alongside global cinema luminaries as the Shanghai International Film Festival hosted its first-ever Kering Women In Motion forum, bringing the luxury conglomerate’s decade-long advocacy for women in film to Chinese shores.

The star-studded panel at the 27th edition of the festival, titled “Kering Women In Motion Talk – In Her Flow,” and moderated by actor and host Andrew Liang, featured an eclectic mix of talent: Lyu Yanting, the voice performer who brought the mischievous boy character to life in animated blockbusters “Ne Zha” and “Ne Zha 2”; Brazilian actor-producer Luiza Mariani fresh from creating a female-led film crew; Indian filmmaker Kiran Rao, who doubles as a Golden Goblet Awards juror this year; and Chinese actor-turned-producer Liang Jing, now eight years into her behind-the-camera transformation.

“This is particularly meaningful because this year marks 120 years of Chinese cinema and 130 years of world cinema,...

Whether you are looking for edge-of-the-seat thrills or are fond of watching feel-good stories about underdogs competing against all odds, these Bollywood sports films have something for everyone. From Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic hockey drama Chak De! India to Vineet Kumar Singh’s compelling performance in Mukkabaaz, these ten sports movies are absolute must-watches and perfect for your next weekend binge.

For this listicle, we have ranked a unique mix of popular and overlooked sports films according to their IMDb ratings. We have included only those films that are currently streaming on Ott.

10. ‘83 Release Year – 2021 Director – Kabir Khan IMDb Rating – 7.5/10 Streaming On – Jio Hotstar & Netflix

Plot: The inspiring biographical film tells the true story of how the Indian cricket team, led by captain Kapil Dev (played by Ranveer Singh), beat all odds to defeat the mighty West Indies and won the 1983 Cricket World Cup.

How Aamir Khan Stands Out In The Digital Age With His Unconventional Decisions

In a career spanning nearly three decades, Aamir Khan may have catapulted to become one of Bollywood’s biggest superstars, but he has always prioritized content above everything. He is known for selecting meaningful stories that can deliver powerful narratives to the masses instead of solely focusing on commercial appeal.

The Taare Zameen Par star has always taken the unconventional route, creating trends instead of following them. With every new project, Khan has proved that glory doesn’t come from glitz or gimmicks but great storytelling instead.

In another such unconventional move, the actor has reportedly turned down a staggering ₹125 crore Ott offer in favor of a big-screen release. With a firm belief in the collective power of theatrical experiences, Aamir Khan has challenged the trend of lucrative deals with streaming platforms by preferring shared audience reaction over solo streaming clicks.

What If Aamir Khan Had Turned Down Dangal?(Photo Credit –YouTube)

Aamir Khan has delivered several blockbuster hits over his illustrious career, including 3 Idiots, Ghajini, and Pk. However, his highest-grossing film to date remains the 2016 wrestling drama Dangal, which grossed around a whopping ₹2070 crore at the box office worldwide (according to Sacnilk). The perfectionist actor portrayed Mahavir Singh Phogat with such depth and precision that it’s almost impossible to imagine anyone else playing the role in the widely acclaimed film.

If Not Aamir Khan, Then Who?

But what if Aamir Khan hadn’t starred in Dangal? According to a report by Deccan Chronicle, the makers had a Plan B in mind—casting a veteran South Indian actor in the lead. More specifically, they would have approached either Kamal Haasan or Mohanlal to play the role of Mahavir Singh Phogat.

6 Highest-Grossing Non-American, Non-Chinese Films At The Global Box Office(Photo Credit –Prime Video/Netflix)

When discussions around global box office records arise, the spotlight almost always tilts toward Hollywood’s blockbusters or China’s rising cinematic powerhouses. But beyond these two dominant forces, a select few films from other regions have managed to break through language barriers, cultural lines, and distribution limitations to become true international box office successes.

These films came from countries with vastly different cinematic traditions and storytelling approaches. What unites them is not their country of origin but the unmistakable power they had to attract global audiences and rake in hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office. Here are six non-American and non-Chinese films that stand tall as the highest-grossing in their category, each earning well above $300 million worldwide and proving that global appeal isn’t bound by borders.

In the Ott age, the bar for what’s “watchable” is lower than ever. Audiences are no longer chasing only quality—they’re chasing comfort, drama, escapism, and just enough plot to keep pressing “next episode.” That’s where Netflix’s The Royals slides in. With a mere 4.2-star IMDb rating and a 36% rotten tomatoes score, the show is “glitzy and painfully inert” and really far from critically praised. Yet, it’s trending. Not because it’s a standout rom-com or binge-worthy series on Netflix—but because it’s easy to consume.

Priyanka Ghose and Nupur Asthana’s The Royals follows the tired but crowd-pleasing formula of will-they-won’t-they, set against an opulent but debt-ridden palace backdrop. It’s predictable, dry in parts, and barely lifts off emotionally. But it’s shiny, occasionally funny, and performs just well enough to ride the Netflix algorithm. There’s a reason it’s...

As you may know, Sitaare Zameen Par is slated for a theatrical release on June 20, 2025. And this is not the first time Aamir Khan has starred in a sports film.

Let’s take a closer look at those films and how they fared both commercially and with critics and audiences, to ascertain whether they were hits or misses.

Indian cinema’s biggest mythological spectacle is taking shape as actor-producer Yash has begun principal photography on “Ramayana.”

Yash‘s Monster Mind Creations and producer Namit Malhotra’s Prime Focus Studios have partnered on the adaptation of the Indian epic.

The project has enlisted Guy Norris, the celebrated stunt director behind “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,” “Mad Max: Fury Road” and “The Suicide Squad,” to choreograph elaborate action sequences tailored specifically for the massive scale of this mythological adaptation. Norris is currently in India working closely with Yash to craft set pieces that could redefine Indian cinema’s approach to large-scale spectacle.

The two-part film is being directed by Nitesh Tiwari, whose “Dangal” is the highest Indian grosser of all time. Yash is best known for the “K.G.F.” action film franchise, the second part of which is also the fifth-highest grossing Indian film of all time. Malhotra is the global...

The stakes are high, and it remains crucial for Aamir Khan to score a success with Sitaare Zameen Par. Of course, fans have high hopes pinned on Mr Perfectionist, but the odds may not be in favor of his upcoming sports-comedy drama. Scroll below for the trailer impact on day 1 at the box office.

The Sitaare Zameen Par trailer is all well!

Sitare Zameen Par is a spiritual successor to Taare Zameen Par. The sequel benefit will definitely come into play. As far as the 3-minute 29 29-second-long trailer is concerned, it has its moments, but unfortunately, very few that will stay with you. The expectations were high, but the ‘wow’ factor was missing. However, it is to be mentioned that the dialogues and Bgm were worth praising. Hopefully, the content will be strong and the word-of-mouth will drive the audience to theatres.

The movie’s official poster was recently released, boosting the audience’s excitement.

“I have done many films that are close to my heart. Lagaan is also very close, Dangal is also very close. But if I have to choose one film, I would say Taare Zameen Par. The reason is that it was a film that had a deep impact on our society. And across the country, it affected parents and children. Parents became sensitive about how they should raise their children, and it was a...

At India’s inaugural Waves (World Audio Visual & Entertainment Summit) in Mumbai, Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan highlighted the striking cultural similarities between Indian and Chinese audiences as a foundation for deeper collaboration between the two film industries.

Khan’s films have been phenomenally successful in China, including “Dangal,” which grossed some $193 million.

“The cultural flavor in China, the emotions of the people in China, they’re very similar to the emotions of Indians,” Khan said during a panel focusing on China at Waves. “The Chinese audience reacts in a very similar way to content the way that Indians do. That’s what my experience was when I was watching a number of my films on the screen in China, and the audience was reacting to ‘Dangal’ – there was absolutely no difference between an Indian audience reacting to the film and a Chinese audience, almost identical, the reaction.”

Indian actor Aamir Khan has delivered many memorable performances during his illustrious forty-year acting career. Whether it’s his cop act in Sarfarosh, his performance as a strong-willed villager in Lagaan, or his performance as a determined father in Dangal, he nailed them all. But according to Aamir Khan, that’s not the case with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s critically acclaimed social political drama ‘Rang De Basanti’ because the sixty-year-old actor thinks that he could have done one particular scene of the film much better.

The Rang De Basanti Scene Which Still Irritates Aamir Khan

In a recent interview with Fever FM, Aamir Khan confessed that he was not satisfied with his own acting in the scene from Rang De Basanti where DJ and Sue come back after facing the wrath of the police during a peaceful protest.

When S.S. Rajamouli’s epic period actioner Baahubali: The Beginning arrived in 2015, it changed the landscape of Indian cinema. With breathtaking visuals (remember the waterfall scene), epic war sequences, intense performances, and gripping storytelling, a new benchmark for the Indian film industry was created.

Around two years later, its sequel Baahubali: The Conclusion followed, and it became the second highest-grossing film globally (after Aamir Khan’s Dangal).

S.S. Rajamouli’s Favourite – Baahubali 1 or Baahubali 2?

In 2018, popular Indian filmmaker Karan Johar invited three key people of the Baahubali film series on his talk show Koffee with Karan. They were none other than S.S. Rajamouli, Prabhas, and Rana Daggubati. During the rapid-fire round, the host asked Rajamouli, “Which is your favourite? Baahubali 1 or Baahubali 2?”

Vicky Kaushal is one of the most prolific Bollywood actors. With every performance, Vicky has proved his versatility as an actor. For the unversed, the Chhaava star is also a proud son of Sham Kaushal, a recognized action director. While Vicky has always been vocal about his love for his parents and family, the actor once opened up about his dad Sham Kaushal’s struggles.

In a 2024 interview with YouTuber Raj Shamani, Vicky recalled how his father, Sham Kaushal, felt like committing suicide because he was jobless. The Raazi actor said, “Dad came to Mumbai in 1978. He had an Ma in English literature, but he was jobless. One day, after drinking with his friends, he declared that he wanted to die.”

“My grandfather became very concerned, so he sent him to Mumbai. My...

Bollywood Beats Hollywood Records(Photo Credit –Hotstar)

When one thinks of Indian films that have left a lasting impression globally, titles like Sholay, Awaara, Baahubali, or Rrr usually spring to mind. These blockbusters boasted unforgettable performances and soundtracks. Over time, these films cemented their place in the pantheon of iconic Indian cinema, both at home and abroad. And yet, hidden in plain sight, there’s one film that quietly outpaced some of Bollywood’s biggest giants in one key metric: ticket sales.

This isn’t about box office collections but about the sheer number of people who actually went out and bought a ticket. And what’s even more surprising? The film in question isn’t often mentioned in typical lists of all-time Indian greats. It didn’t spawn a franchise, it wasn’t driven by megastar power, and it didn’t rely on visual effects wizardry.

Aamir Khan in Dangal announced very proudly – Mhari Chhoriyan Chhoron se kam hain kay. A story from the village of Haryana about daughters winning and shining. Here comes an exact antithesis of that story, from somewhere near Haryana or a distant village in Haryana or Rajasthan (I exactly can’t remember).
