Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par a Huge Success at Box Office

Sitaare Zameen Par is proving to be a success at the box office, following the typical pattern of Aamir Khan films - starting slow and then gaining momentum. The film had a disappointing opening day with ₹10.70 crore but by the third day, it had crossed ₹60 crore. Despite a drop on Monday, the film has garnered enough momentum and goodwill for a successful run. Trade experts consider it a revival of 'urban multiplex films' and a significant victory for Aamir Khan, who stars in and produces the film. Sitaare Zameen Par features Aamir Khan coaching a special basketball team.

In its first four days, Sitaare Zameen Par has earned ₹66.50 crore in India and had a strong opening weekend with ₹96 crore worldwide. This success signifies a breakthrough for Aamir Khan, whose last hit was almost a decade ago. Trade analysts view the film's triumph as a comeback for the superstar, praising its sincerity, entertainment value, and social message. The positive word of mouth has led to a surge in weekday footfalls, surpassing Friday's numbers.

Directed by RS Prasanna, Sitaare Zameen Par stars Aamir Khan as a basketball coach who mentors intellectually disabled players. The heartwarming sports drama also features Genelia Deshmukh and ten specially-abled newcomers. The film, adapted from the Spanish movie Campeones, is produced by Aamir Khan Productions.
