Aamir Khan returned to the silver screen after nearly three years with Sitaare Zameen Par, marking his first film since Laal Singh Chaddha in 2022. However, the much-anticipated sports drama had a modest start at the box office, according to early estimates by Sacnilk.com.

As per the report, Sitaare Zameen Par earned ₹11.50 crore nett in India on its first day. The film recorded an overall Hindi occupancy of 21.43% on Friday.

The film’s opening day collection did not surpass Aamir Khan’s last release, Laal Singh Chaddha, which had earned ₹11.7 crore on day one back in 2022. In comparison, Salman Khan’s Sikandar had a far stronger start, pulling in ₹26 crore on its opening day.

About Sitaare Zameen Par

A spiritual sequel to Aamir’s beloved 2007 film Taare Zameen Par, Sitaare Zameen Par is directed by RS Prasanna. The movie features ten fresh faces, including Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar. It is also a remake of the acclaimed Spanish film Campeones.

An excerpt from the ABP Live review of the film reads as, "Both halves of this film are equally delightful and win you over with laughter and warmth. Although the beginning of the second half dips slightly in pace, it quickly picks up steam again. Compared to Taare Zameen Par, you’ll find fewer emotional scenes here; instead, the story unfolds in a more humorous tone.

The climax leaves you with a powerful takeaway: those who win even after losing are true champions. This film will motivate you to never give up in life, and the standout line — “Sabka apna-apna normal” (Everyone has their own ‘normal’) — stays with you long after."
