4 min readKochiApr 28, 2026 01:02 PM IST There was a time in Indian cinema when Aamir Khan’s name was synonymous with box-office records. Before director SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali films redefined theatrical success and set a benchmark for big-ticket movies, Aamir Khan’s films ruled Indian screens in an unprecedented manner. Without massive action set pieces or bloodbaths, his movies broke collection records, and none of them faced criticism for spreading bigotry or being pro-establishment, unlike today’s cases. In essence, most of them were simple, good, and thought-provoking films. 3 Idiots worldwide box office collection Despite the presence of many stars in the industry, including Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Akshay Kumar, it was Aamir Khan’s Ghajini (2008) that officially launched the Rs 100 crore club in Bollywood. And it was his 3 Idiots (2009), a satirical coming-of-age comedy-drama helmed by Rajkumar Hirani, that took the Indian box office to new heights. The movie grossed a total of Rs 400.61 crore worldwide, according to Bollywood Hungama. Registering an India nett collection of Rs 202.95 crore …

After defeating Fabiano Caruana in the eighth round on Tuesday, Nakamura said it felt nice to “shut up all the idiots who think I can’t play chess anymore.” Caruana, who was fighting for the top spot against leader Javokhir Sindarov for the entirety of the first half of the Candidates, was handed a shock loss by his countryman Nakamura in the all-American clash in the first round after the midway break with reversed colours. When asked how he felt after the win against Caruana, Nakamura said: “I feel pretty good. It’s quite nice to shut up all the idiots who think I can’t play chess anymore.

We are putting too much energy into them; they are redundant people, they are irrelevant people,” he said while addressing the media at the International Film Festival Delhi (IFFD) 2026. Ever since the release of the first instalment in the franchise, Dhurandhar has been receiving flak for its purported problematic portrayal of minorities. The criticisms peaked with the release of Dhurandhar 2, which allegedly whitewashed many of the central government’s policies, including the 2016 demonetisation.
