Aamir Khan's highly anticipated comeback to cinema with Sitaare Zameen Par had a decent Day 1, generating ₹10.7 crore in box office collections. This was a good number, not a record, but matched his previous film Laal Singh Chaddha—but the best was yet to come over the weekend. With strong word-of-mouth and emotional storytelling, the film had a fantastic leap by Sunday and ended the weekend with a terrific ₹59.9 crore.
Saturday collections peaked at ₹20.2 crore, an impressive growth of 88% over Friday. This was some serious weekend growth, and not just because of the weekend—it's as seen by the increasing interest from family audiences and the lake of social media goodwill. The emotional content of the film and its feel-good story around neurodivergent children helped it connect with all areas—people who live in cities, and people who live in small towns. It became one of the top family films of the weekend.
The film detonated on Sunday and earned close to ₹29 crore in just one day. On top of that, it had a 200% increase since Friday. No one ever sees such a dramatic jump, which shows how emotionally invested viewers were in the film. Social media reviews, emotional scenes, and just an overall feel-good factor drove the film to a box office bonanza! The film had surpassed ₹59.9 crore by the end of Sunday.
With an incredible ₹59.9 crore weekend, Sitaare Zameen Par is now the sixth biggest Hindi opener of 2025. This film is only trailing by commercial titans like Chhaava and Housefull 5, which is impressive to say the least, especially since this is not a visceral action film, but a sincere sports comedy about comradery with a message. It is a giant step up compared to Aamir's last outing.
The movie, directed by Aamir Khan himself, is an Indian version of the Spanish blockbuster Amir, and stars Genelia Deshmukh alongside ten neurodivergent actors. This is a feel good sport drama that is funny, poignant, and socially relevant, and doesn't depend on explosions or glam to win their audiences approval. If their honesty and warmth resonate with audiences, that should be reflected in the box office collections.
With Sitaare Zameen Par inching close to the ₹60 crore mark over its first weekend, all eyes are now on Monday's numbers. Trade experts believe that if the film holds on to even 70–80% of its Friday earnings—somewhere around ₹10–11 crore—it could easily surpass the lifetime total of Laal Singh Chaddha. That’s a major milestone for Aamir Khan’s comeback. With no big releases lined up this week and positive word-of-mouth continuing to grow, the film is looking at a golden run. If this momentum holds, the ₹100 crore club is not just possible—it’s likely within reach.
