Bollywood star Aamir Khanis back on the big screen after nearly three years. The actor's Sitaare Zameen Par, directed by RS Prasanna, released worldwide on June 20, 2025.
The film has gotten off to a steady start at the box office. Released in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu, the sports drama has collected ₹11.7 crore across the three languages on the opening day. According to the portal Sacnilk.com, the movie has made ₹11.50 crore in Hindi and earned 0.05 crore and ₹0.15 crore in Tamil and Telugu respectively.
Housefull 5, the film from the popular franchise, is the Sitaare Zameen Par's direct competitor, apart from the latest big-ticket bilingual, Kuberaa (starring Dhanush, Nagarjuna Akkineni and Rashmika Mandanna). Housefull 5, directed by Tarun Mansukhani, made Rs 1.85 crore on Friday.

The Hindu review of the film says, 'Remade from the 2018 Spanish drama Campeones (Woody Harrelson starred in a 2023 English-language version), Sitaare echoes the first film's mission: raising awareness about neurodivergence. This it does in the most predictably teachable fashion. Every scene or callback is calibrated to yield a lesson, a realisation. An ideal Aamir Khan film can be both entertaining and edifying. But when the balance tilts, it's just annoying.'
Aamir Khan's previous film was Laal Singh Chaddha, directed by Advait Chandan. Also starring Kareena Kapoor Khan, the movie was an adaptation of the classic Forrest Gump, headlined by Tom Hanks.

In Tere Naam, Salman played a jobless rabble rouser called Radhe Mohan who might be a rowdy himself but likes doling out his own form of justice. However, the look was inspired by someone who's on the opposite end of the spectrum of Radhe – former Indian President APJ Abdul Kalam. On the first episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show, the actor shared, 'Ye jo Tere Naam ka jo look hai, woh actually inspired tha Abdul Kalam saab se aur uss dauran I think Rahul Roy ka bhi same hairstyle tha. I thought ki jo small town hero hota hai na, unke humesha lambe baal hotey hai. The yesteryear heroes all had long hair, toh waha se ye aaya tha. (My hair in Tere Naam is inspired by Abdul Kalam sir, even Rahul Roy had the same hairstyle. I thought a small town hero would have long hair like this. The yesteryear heroes all had long hair, which inspired me).' The third season of The Great Indian Kapil Show kicked off with Salman as a guest on 21 June. Recent work Tere Naam, directed by Satish Kaushik, is a remake of Bala's 1999 Vikram-starrer Sethu. Bhumika Chawla made her Hindi debut with the film. The film was a moderate success at the box office, with criticism for the way Radhe treats Bhumika's character, Nirjala, but Salman's performance is considered one of the best in his career. After the 2023 film Tiger 3, and cameos in 2024 films Singham Again and Baby John, Salman starred in AR Murugadoss' Sikandar this year. He will soon star in the Saudi Arabian-Egyptian film 7 Dogs, which also stars Sanjay Dutt. He has yet to announce his upcoming projects.
