A strong weekend followed by a Monday dip
According to early estimates by Sacnilk, ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ earned Rs 27.25 crore on Sunday, its biggest single-day collection so far. However, the film saw a steep drop on Monday, collecting Rs 8.50 crore. Even with the buzz around it, the film couldn’t reach double digits on its first weekday. This brings the total domestic collection to Rs 66.65 crore after four days. While the Monday dip was expected, the film had already done enough to make an impact in its opening weekend.
Surpasses Aamir's last film's collection
Despite the drop in Monday’s collection, ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ has already outperformed Aamir Khan’s previous film, ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’, which collected Rs 61.36 crore at the domestic box office. That’s a major win for Aamir, as fans and critics had high hopes for his return to the big screen.
When compared with Aamir’s biggest blockbusters, the film still has a long journey ahead. Here are his highest-grossing films so far, ‘Dangal’ – Rs 374.43 crore, ‘PK’ – Rs 340.8 crore, ‘Dhoom 3’ – Rs 271.07 crore, and ‘3 Idiots’ – Rs 202.47 crore. While ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ may not reach these heights, it has already proved itself by getting close to the Rs 100 crore mark worldwide.
A new milestone for Genelia Deshmukh
It’s not just Aamir who has reason to celebrate. The film marks a huge career moment for Genelia Deshmukh. Known for her role in ‘Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na’, Genelia now has her highest-grossing film with ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’.
The film has already surpassed the lifetime collection of her 2008 hit ‘Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na’, which made around Rs 55.36 crore at the Indian box office. This role is a big moment for Genelia, especially after being away from leading roles in Bollywood for some time.
What the film is about
‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ is directed by R.S. Prasanna. The story follows a basketball coach, played by Aamir Khan, who trains ten differently-abled individuals for a basketball tournament. It’s a heartfelt tale of teamwork, growth, and personal transformation for both the coach and the players.
The film also features a cast of young talents including Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar. Genelia Deshmukh plays a significant role in the story alongside Aamir. The film’s emotional core and inspiring performances have struck a chord with audiences across age groups. With positive reviews and continued support, ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ might just continue shining bright at the box office in the coming days.
