Aamir Khan's 'Sitaare Zameen Par' Box Office Collection Update: Nearing 100 Crore Club

Aamir Khan’s latest film, Sitaare Zameen Par, directed by RS Prasanna, is doing well at the box office. The film, a sports comedy, has been performing strongly since its release on June 20. Khan, who also produced the film, has decided not to sell the streaming rights yet. The film collected Rs 8.5 crore on Tuesday, with steady earnings throughout the week. Weekend numbers were higher, but Monday's earnings were close to the opening day's figures, showing consistent audience interest.

Sitaare Zameen Par has earned Rs 75.15 crore domestically and is on track to enter the Rs 100 crore club soon. However, it will face competition from the film Maa on June 27. Khan’s film has surpassed the earnings of Bhool Chuk Maaf, a romantic comedy, which opted for an early digital release strategy that Khan opposes.

Khan believes that the gap between theatrical and streaming releases is too short, citing the example of Laapataa Ladies, which suffered due to an early Netflix release. He emphasized the importance of a theatrical run for a film's success. According to the source: financialexpress.com.
