Bollywoodâs perfectionist Aamir Khan has returned to the big screen with a bang. His latest release, Sitaare Zameen Par, is not just a cinematic treat â itâs a powerful blend of laughter, emotion, and a timely social message. Within just four days of release, the film is setting the box office ablaze and inching closer to the coveted âš100 crore mark.
đŹ A Strong Opening Weekend: Numbers That Speak for Themselves
The film opened on Friday with a solid âš10.70 crore collection, but the real magic happened over the weekend. On Saturday, collections picked up pace, and by Sunday, Sitaare Zameen Par had earned a whopping âš26.70 crore â more than 2.5 times its opening day.
In just three days, the film had collected over âš50 crore â a feat many recent releases have struggled to achieve.
đ Monday Test Passed: Steady Momentum Continues
Monday often proves to be a turning point for films, and Sitaare Zameen Par passed the test with flying colors. Despite a slow start in morning shows, footfall increased by the afternoon, and the film managed to rake in approximately âš8 crore.
This marked just a 25% drop from Fridayâs earnings â an impressive hold that indicates strong word-of-mouth and audience engagement.
đ§ Aamirâs Bold Strategy: No OTT, Only Theatres
In an era where most filmmakers secure profits via OTT deals before theatrical release, Aamir Khan took a bold stand. He insisted on a theatre-first release, choosing to revive the magic of the big screen rather than chase early digital earnings.
The gamble worked. Audiences flocked to cinemas, proving there’s still an appetite for socially relevant, big-screen storytelling.
đ° Nearing the Breakeven Point: âš80 Crore Budget, âš65 Crore Earned
With a reported budget of âš80 crore, Sitaare Zameen Par has already earned âš65 crore in just four days. Trade analysts estimate that by the end of the first week, the film could easily cross âš85 crore, breaking even and paving the way for pure profits in Week 2.
đ No Competition Ahead: Golden Window for Box Office Domination
What makes Sitaare Zameen Parâs timing even more perfect is the lack of any major theatrical releases in the coming two weeks. This gives the film an open runway to maximize collections, deepen audience reach, and solidify its place as one of the top earners of the year.
â Verdict: A Superhit in the Making
With soaring collections, powerful content, and a strategic release window, Sitaare Zameen Par is not just on the path to profitability â itâs cruising toward blockbuster status.
Aamir Khan has once again proven that meaningful cinema, when delivered with heart and honesty, still has the power to draw crowds. As the second weekend approaches, the question isnât whether Sitaare Zameen Par will hit âš100 crore â itâs just how fast it will get there.
