Aamir Khan’s ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ is proving to be a solid box office success and a word-of-mouth winner. In just nine days, the film has earned a total of ₹108.30 crore (India nett), according to Sacnilk, signaling a strong theatrical run despite competition from new releases like Kajol’s 'Maa', Vishnu Manchu’s 'Kannappa', and Brad Pitt’s 'F1'.
The film had a ₹10.7 crore opening and, impressively, jumped to ₹12.75 crore on its second Saturday, indicating renewed interest and growing footfalls, a rarity in the second week for most films. With a week-one total of ₹88.9 crore, the film is now expected to cross the ₹120 crore mark by the end of its second weekend if current trends hold.
One of the most notable aspects of ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ is the decision to keep it a theatre-exclusive release, with no OTT debut planned. This strategy has been lauded by the Multiplex Association of India, and the filmmakers have expressed their appreciation for the support, reaffirming confidence in the cinema-first experience.
The film has struck a chord for both its emotional depth and social relevance. Aamir Khan stars as a basketball coach who trains a team of neurodivergent adults, with a supporting cast that includes Genelia Deshmukh, Aroush Datta, Dolly Ahluwalia, Brijendra Kala, and several debutant actors portraying neurodivergent characters.
Directed by RS Prasanna and produced by Aamir Khan Productions, the film blends the themes of sports, inclusivity, and personal transformation—echoing emotional tones similar to Taare Zameen Par but with a new narrative arc. The ensemble cast and sensitive subject matter have resonated strongly with audiences, making it one of Aamir Khan’s most warmly received films in recent years.
With strong weekend momentum, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' is not just surviving—it’s thriving, and may go on to become one of the most successful Hindi films of the year.
