Directed by RS Prasanna, this social comedy is eyeing the ₹100 crore mark, with expectations high for the second weekend.
However, its theatrical run may face some competition from Kajol’s horror drama Maa, releasing this Friday. The impact of Maa will largely depend on audience response and word-of-mouth.
Meanwhile, Sitaare Zameen Par is also expected to surpass the lifetime collection of Aamir Khan’s 2008 blockbuster Ghajini, which ended at ₹114 crore nett. If current trends continue, SZP could cross that benchmark by the end of its second weekend.
