‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ Maintains Steady Momentum at Box Office, Crosses ₹75 Crore Mark in 5 Days

Aamir Khan’s much-anticipated film Sitaare Zameen Par continues to perform steadily at the Indian box office. In just five days since its release, the film has collected ₹75.15 crore net, reflecting consistent audience interest across urban and Tier 2 cities. Co-starring Genelia D’Souza, the film blends emotional storytelling with a socially relevant message, contributing to its growing word-of-mouth popularity.

Strong Opening Followed by Stable Growth

Released last Friday, Sitaare Zameen Par opened to positive response and witnessed a solid weekend. While Monday usually sees a dip in collections, the film held its ground with decent weekday figures, especially on Tuesday.

The film’s emotional narrative, combined with Aamir Khan’s strong screen presence, has attracted families and youth audiences alike. Its performance across multiplexes and single screens in smaller cities like Nagpur, Bhopal, Patna, and Surat has played a crucial role in sustaining its box office pace.

Aamir Khan’s Comeback Strategy Pays Off

Marking Aamir Khan’s return to the big screen after a hiatus, Sitaare Zameen Par was expected to be a litmus test. The film not only lived up to pre-release expectations but also benefited from the actor’s loyal fan base.

With Genelia D’Souza returning to a central role, the film’s chemistry and emotional tone have clicked with viewers. Social themes explored in the movie have also sparked discussions online, boosting its engagement beyond theatres.

Tier 2 Cities Show Strong Support

What’s interesting is the film’s solid hold in Tier 2 and Tier 3 regions, where cinema-goers have shown renewed interest in socially driven content. In cities like Indore, Kanpur, and Nashik, evening and weekend shows have reported strong occupancy.

Local theatres, often driven by massy entertainers, are now seeing family audiences turn up for content-rich films—signaling a shift in viewership preference.

Outlook Ahead

With no major competition at the box office this week, Sitaare Zameen Par is expected to maintain its steady run. Trade analysts predict it could comfortably cross the ₹100 crore mark in the coming days if momentum continues.

As audiences continue to respond positively, the film stands as a reminder that emotional, story-driven cinema still holds power—especially when supported by strong performances and relatable themes.
