Aamir Khan’s latest film Sitaare Zameen Par continues its impressive box office journey, surpassing the Rs 160 crore milestone in domestic earnings as of Day 24. The film, which opened to a strong response from both audiences and critics, has maintained a consistent pace in its fourth week, despite facing competition from other releases.
Directed by RS Prasanna, Sitaare Zameen Par features Aamir Khan in a central role alongside a talented supporting cast. The film tells a deeply emotional story focused on children's mental health and educational pressures, themes that have resonated widely with Indian families and young viewers. Its socially relevant message, paired with strong performances and music, has played a key role in the film’s sustained success at the box office.
The initial response to the film saw packed theatres in metropolitan cities as well as tier-two towns. While the film’s daily earnings have naturally slowed compared to its opening week, it has maintained solid weekend numbers and weekday hold, which trade experts see as a positive indicator of audience engagement.
According to trade analyst projections, the film collected around Rs 2 crore on Day 24, bringing the total domestic collection to over Rs 160 crore. The overseas performance has also been encouraging, contributing additional revenue and expanding the film’s reach beyond the Indian market.
Box office analysts attribute the film’s longevity to its universal appeal and relevant storytelling. Unlike high-budget action films that see sharp drops after the first two weeks, Sitaare Zameen Par has witnessed strong word-of-mouth promotion, with many viewers returning for repeat screenings or recommending it to friends and family.
Aamir Khan’s return to the big screen after a long gap had already generated anticipation, and the film’s content has lived up to those expectations. The actor, known for selecting meaningful scripts, has once again delivered a performance that connects with both the heart and mind. Critics have praised his portrayal as nuanced and emotionally compelling, while highlighting the film’s screenplay and direction for creating an impactful cinematic experience.
The film’s music and background score have also contributed to its popularity. Several tracks have become widely appreciated for their lyrical depth and emotional resonance. Schools and educational organisations have reportedly arranged special screenings, further boosting the film’s visibility.
As it continues its theatrical run, Sitaare Zameen Par is now being viewed as one of the most successful films of the year in terms of both earnings and social impact. With minimal drop in footfalls in its fourth week, the film may continue to add to its box office total in the coming days.
Industry insiders expect the film to cross further milestones if it maintains current trends, especially if family audiences continue to show interest during the upcoming weekend.
