Aamir Khan seems to have hit the jackpot once again—this time not just with a heartfelt story, but also at the box office. Sitaare Zameen Par, the touching dramedy directed by R.S. Prasanna, has wrapped up its first week in theaters with some impressive figures, raking in ₹87.5 crore across India. With a solid hold during the weekdays and a boost over the weekend, the film is now aiming to cross the ₹100 crore mark—potentially as early as its second Saturday.

Day 2 saw a significant leap to ₹20 crore, followed by an even stronger Sunday that brought in ₹26.25 crore. While some drop-off during the weekdays was anticipated, Sitaare Zameen Par managed to maintain its pace, earning ₹6.5 crore even on its seventh day. This brings the total to ₹87.5 crore net in India by the end of its first week.
With new films like Maa, Kannappa, and F1 hitting theaters, Sitaare Zameen Par is now facing fresh competition. However, the film has garnered strong word of mouth, particularly in metro areas where audiences are really connecting with its emotional depth and uplifting narrative. If it can match or slightly improve on its Thursday collections today, a second weekend haul of ₹25–30 crore is definitely within reach. This would not only push it past the ₹100 crore milestone but also make it one of the highest-grossing second weekends of the year so far—just trailing behind Chhaava.
While the film is doing well overall, its strongest numbers are still coming from urban markets like Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, and Pune. In smaller towns and mass circuits, the response has been a bit tepid—but considering the film’s genre and tone, that’s not too surprising. Still, it’s clear that Sitaare Zameen Par is resonating where it counts most for its audience. The multiplex crowd has really embraced the film, and repeat viewings—especially from families and school groups—have helped keep the foot traffic steady.

The film is steadily approaching the $6 million milestone internationally and is on track to surpass it by the end of its second weekend. Thanks to strong support from the diaspora and its universal emotional resonance, Sitaare Zameen Par is performing particularly well in markets like the US, UAE, and UK. On the home front, if the film maintains its solid performance, it could end up raking in between ₹150–₹170 crore by the time it wraps up its theatrical run, especially with upcoming competition from titles like Jurassic World: Rebirth and Metro… In Dino.
Aamir Khan’s return to the screen has certainly made an impact. Not only has it been well-received critically, but it’s also doing well at the box office. While it may not be a massive blockbuster, Sitaare Zameen Par has shown that compelling content, heartfelt emotions, and authentic performances can still draw audiences to theaters. With the ₹100 crore milestone just around the corner, everything seems to be falling into place for this touching story.
