Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Day 1 Prediction: Aamir Khan starrer gets off to a slow start, earn Rs…
Superstar Aamir Khan's most anticipated film, Sitaare Zameen Par , has finally hit the theaters. Helmed by R.S. Prasanna, this film is a sequel to the 2007 blockbuster, Taare Zameen Par . As per the early reviews, the film is receiving a positive response from audiences and critics, which can be a game-changer for Aamir Khan. Early estimates predict that Sitaare Zameen Par is expected to open with big numbers. Early Prediction For Sitaare Zameen Par As per India Today, Trade analyst Taran Adarsh has mentioned that the film can show its huge growth on the word of mouth. He said, 'The box office run currently depends on word-of-mouth. Since the promotion for the film is very light, now the film's success depends only on Aamir Khan's face value. For the opening weekend, it could be around Rs 30 crore.' He further added, 'Since it's a sequel to Taare Zameen Par, and the 2007 film did really well in its time, I hope Sitaare Zameen Par works well for Aamir. While the film's numbers won't go beyond Taare Zameen Par, it should at least touch a success limit, unlike his recent movies,' Meanwhile, as per early estimates shown by trade website Sacnilk, by this time, Aamir Khan's starrer has earned Rs 1.68 crore (more to be earned). According to Sacnlink, tickets for morning shows worth 1.15 lakhs have been sold for 9542 shows of the Hindi version of Sitare Zameen Par.

After all this, the advance booking of the film has earned up to Rs 6.88 crores.

Detective Sherdil movie review: Diljit Dosanjh's endearing performance can't save this flat film
Detective Sherdil movie review: A billionaire is found dead. It is murder most foul. His will reveals a shocker. His fortune is split between his favourite canine and a complete outsider. Cue, shock and outrage. Enter sharp sleuth Sherdil, and the worms come wriggling out. On the suspects' list is Pankaj Bhatti's (Boman Irani) entire family, starting with wife Rajeshwari (Ratna Pathak Shah), son Angad (Sumeet Saigal) and daughter Shanti (Banita Sandhu). The dead man's driver is also under the scanner, but the family's ire is directed against Shanti's boyfriend Poorvak (Arjun Tanwar), a deaf-mute like her, who is the biggest recipient of Bhatti's generosity. There are enough adept actors in this ensemble, led by Dosanjh, for us to expect an engaging whodunit. But the treatment is flat, making the characters even flatter, as they come on to say their lines and disappear into the wings. Why, for example, is this film set in Budapest? At least that's what it seems like, and everyone races around in cars at top speed, screeching to a halt at large mansions and police stations which could be anywhere at all. The fact that Shanti is hearing-and-speech impaired, and so is her boyfriend, had the potential to lift things. As did Chunky Panday's monkish avataar. But very little sticks. It isn't as if our canny jasoos, a cross between Byomkesh and Karamchand as he describes himself pithily, is not trying his best: we get to hear him speak English which makes for a nice change from his usual Hindi/Punjabi, look slant-eyed at lithe colleague Natasha (Diana Penty) whom he has a bit of history with, play the harmonica everytime he gets a chance, and he gets them a lot, and cracking the case. Watch Detective Sherdil movie trailer here: Dosanjh is such an endearing performer that even a sub-par sit com-type script can't really keep him down, even if his voice-ever is never ending. But the others, including sundry foreigners who have been induced to play supporting parts, don't fare as well. Neither does the film. Detective Sherdil movie cast: Diljit Dosanjh, Boman Irani, Ratna Pathak Shah, Diana Penty, Sumeet Vyas, Banita Sandhu, Arjun Tanwar, Chunky Pandey Detective Sherdil movie director: Ravi Chhabriya Detective Sherdil movie rating: 1.5 stars

Allu Arjun beats B-town biggies in Hindi TRP Records with ‘Pushpa 2'
Icon Star Allu Arjun continues to make waves across the country, this time by breaking television viewership records with his blockbuster Pushpa 2. The film, directed by Sukumar, has already shattered box office records with an astounding ₹1800 crore collection following its December theatrical release. Now, the film has set another milestone—this time on Hindi television. Despite being available on OTT platforms shortly after its release, the Hindi-dubbed version of Pushpa 2 recently premiered on TV and garnered an impressive 5.1 TVR, reaching 5.4 crore viewers. This makes Pushpa 2 the most-watched film on Hindi television in recent times, overtaking TRP numbers of Bollywood blockbusters like Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan and Ranbir Kapoor's Animal by a significant margin. What makes this feat even more remarkable is that Pushpa 2 managed to achieve this dominance during the peak phase of IPL 2025, surpassing the cricket league's viewership—an accomplishment very few films have achieved in recent memory. Allu Arjun, who also received the Telangana State's Gaddar Award for his powerful performance as Pushpa Raj, has firmly established himself as a pan-India superstar. His crossover success in the Hindi-speaking belt, traditionally dominated by Bollywood stars, marks a significant shift in audience dynamics and industry reach. Looking ahead, Allu Arjun is gearing up for his next project with director Atlee, a collaboration that already has fans buzzing with excitement. If Pushpa 2 is any indication, his upcoming ventures are set to elevate his stardom to even greater heights.
