After a strong opening weekend, the film showed solid hold on its first Monday, with ₹8 crores nett in India. The total is just short of its opening day’s. But it has suggested that word-of-mouth and audience support, especially family audiences, are strong for the film.
A strong start and good hold on Monday
Sitaare Zameen Par opened well with ₹10.50 crores on Friday. It quickly ramped up to ₹19.75 crores on Saturday and ₹26.25 crores on Sunday.

The Monday collections were in the range of around ₹7.75 crores and ₹8.25 crores. It brought the 64.50 crores collections summary to a close.
Here is a summary of the box office daily collection (India Net):
- Day 1 (Friday): ₹10.50 crores
- Day 2 (Saturday): ₹19.75 crores
- Day 3 (Sunday): ₹26.25 crores
- Day 4 (Monday): ₹8 crores
Total of ₹64.50 crores
Yes, this means that Monday collections have gone down from Friday and did not surpass Monday’s collections. While that would not break a film which had a robust word-of-mouth collection, it must be taken into context because this film opened to low hype and had moderate pre-release expectations.
What Might Possibly Be Affecting The Numbers?
The film’s best strengths is its family appeal. Directed by RS Prasanna with Aamir Khan with Genelia Deshmukh featured, Sitaare Zameen Par at its core, is a warm, emotional story. This has attracted families as a group of viewers—a group who always tends to watch on the weekend before sustaing box-office success, is favourable to keep progressing.
In the context of its small budget (aside from Aamir Khan’s fees) and low overall expectations, the current numbers are good. Trade experts anticipate the film will complete its first extended week with a net approximate of ₹85 crore in India.
Profitability and Risk
Aamir Khan has took a systematic chance with Sitaare Zameen Par, especially concting to the current world just out of a pandemic with huge cinema chains’ difficulty bringing viewers to the cinema, even with a scholar in front of the screen. As weather, the overall cost projection is in the ₹100-120 crore ballpark for production and marketing. This, however, is based on conservative marketing spend and production efficiencies.
The non-theatrical income is expected to cover the risk:
- Satellite and Music Rights of ₹50 crore
- Digital Rights pending negotiation, but with an expected nicely.
- International launches, with a second phase still based on geopolitics.
Aamir Khan, it has been reported, plans to retain early digital rights, meaning he stands to profit a great deal if he waits to release the film until streaming demand is especially high, provided it holds up well with the box office results.
Where It Goes From Here: Competition & Box Office Forecasts
Both Maa and F1 will be releasing new films next weekend, but neither of those films seems strong enough to make a serious run at challenging Sitaare Zameen Par. But the real competition will come the week after that with huge releases like Jurassic World: Rebirth and Metro… In Dino. Both of those films will appeal to the similar urban multiplex audience.
Despite this, Sitaare Zameen Par’s unique emotional touchpoint, and its family-focus, could help sustain box office success, at least for the second weekend and beyond.
Conclusion
Sitaare Zameen Par is not yet incurring blockbuster numbers, but it is still generating a lot of revenue with a changed dynamic in the film industry market. This is an incredible accomplishment for a film that had a pre-release indifference factor that contributed to subpar awareness that didn’t depend on too many marketing gimmicks. It is worth mentioning that emotionally driven storytelling still has the weight to move the needle for an audience when done well; all they need to do is purchase a ticket.
For followers of Aamir Khan and Bollywood melodramatic films, Sitaare Zameen Par is still “the movie” to see, sorry Will Smith—because of its story and its scaling box office success. Stay tuned for more updates and analysis in our coverage of Bollywood news latest.
