Aamir Khan's son Junaid pushed by Salman Khan's security? Video from Sitaare Zameen Par screening sparks debate
Salman Khan visited the Sitaare Zameen Par premiere night to lend his support to longtime friend and actor Aamir Khan. Salman was accompanied by an entourage of security guards. The security was so tight that Aamir's son Junaid Khan had to face the ire while approaching Salman. While it was meant to be a celebratory night, a little chaos and tension unfolded when Junaid Khan got pushed by Khan's team. In a viral video, Junaid Khan can be seen approaching Salman Khan but gets pushed away by Khan's security. The video is receiving reactions from all corners. While some fans are celebrating it, citing the 'Sigma' and 'Aura' of the Sultan actor, a section highlighted the situation's seriousness. A social media user shared the video on Twitter (now X) and hailed Salman Khan's aura. The tweet reads, "Bhai ka aura is unmatchable (with biceps emoticon)." Another reacted, "That walk. That presence. That swag. SK's aura hit different (with fire emoji). A third user wrote, "Damn... Is it for real? (mind-blown emoji) When it comes to Salman Khan, things can be unexpected to happen. Still yakeen nahi ho raha... I'm shocked (shocking emoji)." For the unversed, Salman Khan's heightened security comes in the wake of several death threats which he is receiving for over an year. His team is very particular about superstar's security, especially during public outings. Before Junaid Khan, Vicky Kaushal also had to face the same. Junaid Khan's career and work front Talking about Junaid Khan, he marked his acting debut with Maharaj, co-starring Sharvari. The movie was directly released on streaming giant Netflix, skipping the theatrical outing. Further, he was seen in Loveyapa, where the actor was paired with Khushi Kapoor. Both movies received mixed word-of-mouth, with the latter bombing at the box office. The actor will now be seen in a romantic film, reportedly titled 'Ek Din'. He will share the screen space with Sai Pallavi in the upcoming remake of Thai film 'One Day'. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

‘Sitaare Zameen Par' review: More life lessons from Aamir Khan
What might Aamir Khan's last decade-and-a-half have been like had he not done 3 Idiots? I'd imagine his fans, and maybe the man himself, would look at the 2009 film as a positive turning point. It was, after all, a wild success, one that set Khan up for other, even more successful films in the same vein. He was already gravitating towards morally instructive projects; Taare Zameen Par (2007), his first as director, was about a gifted dyslexic child. But 3 Idiots showed how happy audiences were to be lectured at if you made yourself look silly and made them feel smart. Always tagged as a 'thinking actor', Khan now seemed determined to make audiences think, even if his films often did the thinking for them. Sitaare Zameen Par might be the purest example yet of an Aamir Khan Life Lessons Film. There's barely a scene in its 158 minutes that doesn't lend itself to a teachable moment. Like in Dangal (2016), Khan assumes the role of uninformed grump who will eventually see the light. Every wrongheaded thing said by basketball coach Gulshan about people with learning disabilities is brought up later and turned into sagely advice. If you like being explained things like you're a seven-year-old, this is the film for you. Freshly fired from his job for punching another coach, Gulshan is arrested for drunk driving. The judge hearing his case spares him a jail sentence in lieu of community service as the coach of a team of youngsters with various learning disabilities, from Down syndrome to invisible autism (the team-members are all played by differently abled actors). Gulshan is blithely insensitive to begin with, referring to his charges as 'mental' and 'abnormal'. This prompts the first of many, many lectures, with the school's owner, Kartar (the winsome Gurpal Singh), patiently explaining how everyone has their own level of normal. Sitaare Zameen Par is a remake of the 2018 Spanish film Champions, which has already been adapted in Saudi Arabia, Germany and USA (as a Woody Harrelson film). Director R.S. Prasanna and writer Divy Nidhi Sharma don't just retain the broad beats of the original, they reuse specific jokes, actions, scenes verbatim, from a wayward throw that knocks down a tube light to a mouse rescue that helps overcome a fear of bathing. Some of the borrowings are done without a thought as to whether they'd work here. In the Spanish film, one of the players has a girlfriend who might be a sex worker. The gag fails miserably in Sitaare, both because the character is younger and because it feels like cheap bait to have the word 'prostitute' repeated for laughs in an Indian film (it's like a version of the 'balaatkar' gag in 3 Idiots). Prasanna made the sparkling Shubh Mangal Saavdhan (and its Tamil original, Kalyana Samayal Saadham), but is entirely subsumed by Khan's desire to educate and edify. He may as well be a hired hand on an episode of Satyamev Jayate, the widely watched social reform documentary series that Khan hosted in the early 2010s. There's a base level of professionalism here, but I'd rather see a trainwreck than another brightly lit, boringly staged, generically scored Hindi film. When Gulshan's not being lectured by Kartar or his mother (Dolly Ahluwalia), his wife (Genelia Deshmukh) shows up to criticise and improve him (they're separated because he doesn't want to have children). He slowly becomes more empathetic, guiding the team through a special needs national basketball tournament. On the bus back from Chandigarh, they're heckled by unsympathetic passengers: again, a scene lifted almost word for word from the original, but without rhythm or wit. That Khan, who had a deserved reputation for pushing original material, has now made two films in a row without an original bone in their body, is both depressing and indicative of where Hindi cinema is today. He is, of course, responsible for his own choices, but I also blame 3 Idiots. Most people are ruined by failure. Aamir Khan was ruined by success.

Box Office: Sitaare Zameen Par flirts with a double digit opening day; Aamir Khan starrer eyes at big Saturday jump
The Aamir Khan-led Sitaare Zameen Par has taken a fair start at the box office in India, with the business growing from strength to strength from morning till evening. According to very early trends, the RS Prasanna-directorial is looking to collect in the range of Rs 9.50 crore to Rs 10.50 crore on the opening day, with a large chunk of business coming in from the urban centres. The top 3 national chains – PVRInox and Cinepolis – are looking to collect in the range of Rs 6.75 crore nett, contributing 65 percent to the total business. The ratio could go a little lower depending on where the actuals land in the morning, but a 65 percent ratio seems apt for a film of this genre. The numbers are fair for the genre, though not so good for Aamir Khan, who has opened films in the similar genre at much higher numbers. The dynamics of business have changed in the post-Covid world, which has put limitations on the opening day of films in a rather non-commercial genre, but the positive for Sitaare Zameen Par rests in the fact that the initial reports for the film are on the positive side. The occupancy too is showing gains towards the evening and night shows, setting up the film well for spikes on Saturday and Sunday. Sitaare Zameen Par has very good advances for Saturday, as the film has already sold 40,000 tickets in PVRInox alone as on Friday at 5.30 PM, and will be looking to close with pre-sales around the 65,000 ticket mark by mid-night. Cinepolis on the other hand has sold approx. 10,000 tickets for Saturday at the same time. For those unaware, Sitaare Zameen Par had sold 38,000 tickets in PVRInox for Friday as on Thursday mid-night, and this is a jump of almost 70 percent in advance booking. The film should be aiming at a 60 to 80 percent jump on Saturday, and then consolidate with another 20 percent jump on Sunday, which would put it in a fairly good spot to register a trend of sorts on the weekdays. All eyes now on the Saturday jump.

News18 Evening Digest: Iran Opens Airspace For Indian Students, PM Modi's Swipe At Lalu Prasad & Other Top Stories
Last Updated: We Are Also Covering: Israel Defence Minister Instructs IDF To 'Destabilise' Iranian Regime, Saudi Atomic Body Calls Out Israeli Strikes & Other Top Stories In today's News18 evening digest, we bring to you the latest on Israel-Iran war, PM Modi's Bihar visit, Sitaare Zameen Par Review and other updates. Iran on Friday said it is making a special exception to facilitate the evacuation of Indian students stranded amid the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict. Iranian officials are working closely with Indian authorities as part of Operation Sindhu, New Delhi's mission to safely relocate students studying in West Asia affected by the conflict. Read More PM Narendra Modi in Bihar: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing a high-stakes rally in poll-bound Bihar on Friday, launched a scathing attack on the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the Congress, accusing them of allegedly insulting Babasaheb Bhim Rao Ambedkar and betraying the aspirations of Dalits and backward classes. His remarks come amid a growing controversy over a viral video that purportedly shows RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav placing an image of Ambedkar near a chair, before resting his leg on it. Read More 'We must strike all symbols of the regime and its mechanisms of oppression, such as the Basij, as well as the base of the regime's power, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps," Katz said. Saudi Arabia's Nuclear and Radiological Regulatory Commission (NRRC) said that 'any armed attack by any party targeting nuclear facilities dedicated to peaceful purposes constitutes a violation of international resolutions." The warning comes as Israel has been targeting several Iranian nuclear sites and military bases since June 13, in what officials in Tel Aviv call a preemptive operation to neutralize Iran's ballistic and nuclear threat. Sitaare Zameen Par Movie Review: Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par has every ingredient to make it a blockbuster. It's a spiritual sequel to the extraordinary Taare Zameen Par. It has a social message laced with feel-good humour. It marks the superstar's return to the big screen three years after Laal Singh Chaddha. And it brings together a bunch of 'intellectually disabled' people and celebrates their lives. What's refreshing is that here, there's no room for sappiness (for the most part).
