Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par Shines Bright
With its impressive box office run, Sitaare Zameen Par has proven that meaningful cinema can thrive alongside mainstream releases, offering a fresh perspective on learning disabilities and emotional storytelling. The film's success is a testament to the power of word-of-mouth and loyal audiences, as it continues to shine bright in the Indian film industry.
Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par has demonstrated remarkable staying power at the box office, grossing Rs 165.5 crore after 31 days, with its strong word-of-mouth and loyal family audience driving its success. The film's emotional narrative continues to resonate, proving the appeal of meaningful cinema alongside youth-focused romances.
The film, directed by Amole Gupte, explores learning disabilities in children through a fresh lens and marks Khan's return to emotional, socially-driven storytelling. Despite stiff competition from other films, Sitaare Zameen Par added Rs 2.5 crore over the weekend, including Rs 1.35 crore on its fifth Sunday, showcasing its enduring appeal.
Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par has completed 5 weeks in theatres, with a net collection of 165.50 crores in 36 days in India. The film has earned 165% more than its spiritual predecessor Taare Zameen Par, but its box office performance is still not considered a hit due to its estimated budget of 90 crores and ROI of 84%.
As Sitaare Zameen Par continues to defy expectations at the Indian box office, its "no OTT" policy remains a notable aspect of its release strategy, allowing Aamir Khan to maintain control over its distribution and pricing. The film's global collection now stands at ₹262.75 crore in 31 days, solidifying its position as a significant player in the cinematic landscape.
