Sitaare Zameen Par box office collection: Aamir Khan’s long-awaited comeback film 'Sitaare Zameen Par' is steadily making its presence felt at the box office. After a three-year hiatus, the actor returned with a sports dramedy directed by RS Prasanna, and as it completes nearly a week in theatres, the film has crossed the ₹80 crore milestone in India.
According to early estimates reported by Sacnilk, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' raked in ₹7.25 crore on its sixth day, taking its total domestic earnings to ₹82.4 crore. While the movie got off to a solid start with an opening day collection of ₹10.7 crore, its box office numbers saw a jump over the weekend, pulling in ₹20.2 crore on Saturday and ₹27.25 crore on Sunday. However, weekday footfalls have tapered off, with the film now struggling to sustain double-digit daily earnings.
About Sitaare Zameen Par
'Sitaare Zameen Par' is being referred to as a spiritual successor to Aamir’s 2007 classic 'Taare Zameen Par'. While the earlier film focused on a child with dyslexia, this time Aamir portrays a basketball coach who, after being convicted of drunk driving, is assigned to train a team of neurodivergent individuals.

Adding to its growing list of accolades, the film recently had a special screening at the Rashtrapati Bhavan. Pictures from the event were shared online, showing President Droupadi Murmu in attendance.
