Aamir Khan’s latest release, Sitaare Zameen Par, has turned into a box office success, earning over ₹80 crore in just six days. The film, which blends emotion with a socially driven message, has officially surpassed the lifetime collection of his 2007 classic Taare Zameen Par.
Strong Word of Mouth and School Collaborations Boost Numbers in Sitaare Zameen Par
The film opened with steady collections and grew rapidly over the weekend. Positive word of mouth, combined with group bookings from schools and educational institutions, helped maintain a solid weekday performance. Trade experts credit the film’s emotional depth and strong message for drawing family audiences across age groups.
The ₹80 crore milestone makes Sitaare Zameen Par one of Aamir Khan’s best post-pandemic performers. It’s also notable for overtaking Taare Zameen Par, a film with a similar emotional theme that went on to become iconic in Indian cinema.
Directed by Aamir Khan himself, the movie explores themes of learning disabilities, inclusion, and empathy—subjects that resonate with educators, students, and parents alike. While the box office trend has been encouraging, the film’s real impact may lie in the social conversations it has reignited.
Trade analysts expect the film to maintain its momentum into the second weekend, especially with limited competition from new releases. If the current pace continues, Sitaare Zameen Par could enter the ₹100 crore club within a few more days.
