Even after 15 days, Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par outshines Maa and Kannappa, with its third Friday collection beating both films’ combined second Friday earnings. Here's the detailed performance.
Trade reports indicate 'Sitaare Zameen Par' earned approximately ₹2.5 crore domestically on its third Friday, bringing its total India collection to around ₹137.90 crore.
Despite being released 15 days ago, 'Sitaare Zameen Par's' daily earnings are exceeding the combined collections of 'Maa' and 'Kannappa,' which were released 8 days later.
Reports suggest 'Maa' earned around ₹1 crore on its second Friday, taking its 8-day total to approximately ₹27.50 crore.
'Kannappa' reportedly earned less than ₹50 lakh on its 8th day, with a second Friday collection of around ₹35 lakh, bringing its total to ₹30.35 crore.
The combined Friday earnings of 'Maa' and 'Kannappa' (₹1.35 crore) were roughly half of 'Sitaare Zameen Par's' ₹2.50 crore collection.
'Sitaare Zameen Par' is directed by R.S. Prasanna and stars Aamir Khan and Genelia D'Souza. 'Maa' is directed by Vishal Furia and features Kajol and Ronit Roy. 'Kannappa,' directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh, stars Vishnu Manchu alongside Akshay Kumar, Prabhas, Kajal Aggarwal, and Mohanlal.
