Prosenjit Chatterjee on Sitaare Zameen Par's cinema-only move: Aamir can take risk
Aamir Khan's much-anticipated 'Sitaare Zameen Par' released in theatres on June 20. In a historic move, the superstar has decided to go cinema-only, ditching the OTT release altogether. His move has received mixed reviews from the industry, and actor Prosenjit Chatterjee admitted that such kind of changes are an exclusive chat with Chatterjee weighed in on Aamir Khan's decision. While he admitted that the need is required, he also mentioned how Khan's experience enables him to take such about Aamir Khan's 'only cinema' approach, Chatterjee said, "He can take the risk. He has been serving the industry for many years, and he understands the pulse and sensibilities of the audiences." The Jubilee actor added that while this won't halt the process, someone needed to take a step to initiate a change. Although he added that there's no good or bad to this method."I remember long back when content would be sold to CD companies, and it paid producers handsomely. However, after a year or two, I realised that the CDs were already in the market in a few days, and the theatre business was getting affected. So I called up all the producers for a meeting and we jointly decided that while the rights would be sold off, we need to have a gap of a good 9-12 weeks. All producers came together, and things changed to a certain level," the Bengali actor added that he saw the same trend when it came to films' television premieres. "In three or four weeks, they would start playing Bengali and even Hindi films on television. So, we stopped that and said let's give it after eight weeks. To save the theatrical business and cinema, he (Aamir Khan) is a person who can think this way or take this kind of risk. Nothing will change, a film will come on OTT and then on satellite television. That's how it works, that's how we reach our Indian audiences. But let's see how this goes (Sitaare Zameen Par's only-cinema model), and I hope it works."Marking Aamir Khan's return to the big screen after a three-year hiatus, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' has opened to a positive response from critics and fans alike. Also starring Genelia Deshmukh, the RS Prasanna is touted as the spiritual sequel of 'Taare Zameen Par'.Meanwhile, on June 19, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan also joined Aamir at the premiere and were seen warmly interacting with the film's young supporting cast, or 'sitaare', as they are lovingly referred to Watch

Airdrie friends spread love of football and God to the Vatican in Rome with The Caritas Cup
Cup was founded five years ago by school pals Adam Costello, Aiden Paterson, Bailey Gallagher and Daniel Timoney, who all attended St Margaret's High. Intrepid Airdrie friends enjoyed a true Italian Job as they spread their love of football and God all the way to Rome. The Caritas Cup was founded five years ago by school pals Adam Costello, 21, Aiden Paterson, 20, Bailey Gallagher, 20, and Daniel Timoney, 20, who all attended St Margaret's High. The aim was to unite pupils from local Catholic schools through football and netball tournaments, while supporting the Scottish Catholic International Aid Fund (SCIAF) and other great causes. The Vatican was celebrating a Jubilee of Sports and the Caritas Cup was at the centre of the celebrations - and saw the friends playing football in 38-degree heat. Adam said: "It was hard going - walking around in summer in Rome is hard enough but playing a game of football is a whole new level. "We had a great time though and we were playing with Seminarians from the Scot's College in Rome as well as guys from France, Sweden and Italy." Adam added: "The Caritas Cup started as a game of football between two schools in Airdrie and Coatbridge four years ago now. "It then spread to multiple sports across many parts of Scotland and now it's reached Rome. "Pope Leo said that sport has a unique way of bringing people together and that exactly what the Caritas Cup is all about. "We support SCIAF due to the values instilled in us from a very young age. "The values that resonate with people across our Diocese and Motherwell - to help our neighbours and all in need. "This is just a very small part of what SCIAF does. We want to highlight the valuable and crucial work that SCIAF do in every corner of the world and we hope that, through this project, we can highlight that a better world is possible." Bailey said: "The links between sport and faith have never been clearer for us and seeing over 800,000 young people participating in the Jubilee events, solidified that. "Starting as a game of football between two schools, it is now with great joy that we can see this project reach all over the world. "Through the Caritas Cup, schools and communities have been United in Faith and through God's blessings, we hope that continues." Michael Hamilton, SCIAF's community engagement officer, added: "Working with the Caritas Cup team over the past couple of years has been amazing. "It has been so inspiring to us at SCIAF to see their passion for their faith, sport, charity and community. "We are delighted to see the initiative grow to Rome and see the team connect with other young people from across the world in this Jubilee year." *Don't miss the latest headlines from around Lanarkshire.

Pope Leo at Audience: Let us not be paralyzed by disappointment
During his weekly General Audience, Pope Leo XIV reflects on the passage of the paralytic at the pool of Bethesda, and warns against becoming "discouraged and falling into spiritual apathy.' Jun 18, 2025 Pope Leo greets hundreds of pilgrims for his weekly Wednesday General Audience (@Vatican Media) By Kielce GussieBefore beginning his Wednesday General Audience, Pope Leo XIV greeted the crowds gathered in St. Peter's Square in the popemobile. Then, in his catechesis, he continued reflecting on the Jubilee theme of 'Jesus Christ our Hope,' focusing on Jesus the healer. The Pope invited everyone to 'reflect on those moments when we feel 'stuck' and trapped in a dead end.' He explained that when hope seems useless and people want to give up the Gospel describes this through the image of paralysis. As an example, Pope Leo turned to the story of Jesus curing the paralytic at the pool of Bethesda. House of mercy When Jesus arrives in Jerusalem for a Jewish feast, He makes His first stop at a gate rather than the Temple. This gate is where everyone hoping for a miracle would wait to rush into the pool when it was stirred up—believing it had healing powers. But this created an unpleasant scene as there was a 'struggle among the poor.' People pushing, shoving, and trying to get into the water first. Pope Leo pointed out that Bethesda means 'house of mercy'—which can reflect an image of the Church, 'where the sick and the poor gather, and where the Lord comes to bring healing and hope.' No excuses Jesus encountered the man who had been paralyzed for 38 years and had become resigned to his fate. This disappointment, the Pope said, is precisely what paralyzes us, as we can 'become discouraged and risk falling into spiritual apathy.' The question then is this: 'Do you want to be healed?' Just as the paralyzed man in the Gospel, we can get stuck and 'the desire to get better can fade.' We can get comfortable in our illness and relying on others to take care of us. Pope Leo warned against letting this 'become an excuse to avoid making decisions about our lives.' The paralytic man's response to Jesus shows how the man chooses to see life. He argues there is no one to help him into the pool, 'so the blame is placed not on himself but on others who haven't helped him.' The Pope posed the question: 'Was it really true that he had no one to help him?' Reflecting on his spiritual father, St. Augustine, Pope Leo highlighted that the paralytic needed not just a helping hand but 'a man who was also God.' Write your own story Jesus helps the man turn his view of life from fatalistic—that things just happen due to bad luck—to personal responsibility. His mat becomes a symbol of his past illness and personal history. Yet, now, the man has the ability to walk and the mindset to write his own story. Closing, Pope Leo XIV encouraged everyone to ask God for the grace to recognize where we have gotten 'stuck' and urged them to voice their desire for healing.--Vatican News
