Sitaare Zameen Par box office collection day 3: Aamir Khan's film earns Rs 60.1 cr, set to surpass Laal Singh Chaddha's lifetime; outperforms Jaat, Kesari 2, Sikandar

Sitaare Zameen Par box office day 3: After a shaky start, Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par has quickly redeemed itself over its first weekend. According to Sacnilk, the film minted Rs 29.22 crore on Sunday, bringing its total domestic collection to Rs 60.12 crore within just three days of release. Sitaare Zameen Par box office collection and occupancy The Aamir Khan-starrer began its box office journey with Rs 10.7 crore — a little underwhelming, especially when compared to the year's biggest hit Chhaava, which raked in Rs 31 crore on its opening day. Despite the lukewarm start, Sitaare Zameen Par saw an impressive 88.79 percent jump in collections on Saturday, earning Rs 20.2 crore. The upward trend continued on Sunday, with a further 44.65 percent increase, as the film raked in Rs 29.22 crore. The film is getting a solid word-of-mouth from audience after receiving positive reviews from critics. While the film has been released in multiple languages — Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu — the core audience remains in the Hindi belt. On Sunday, the film earned Rs 29 crore from the Hindi version, while the Tamil version contributed Rs 17 lakh and the Telugu version a modest Rs 5 lakh to the domestic collection. It saw 50.70 percent Hindi occupancy, 41.59 percent Tamil occupancy and 21.92 percent Telugu occupancy on Sunday. Sitaare Zameen Par box office vs 2025's biggest hits Overall, Sitaare Zameen Par has collected Rs 49.42 crore over Saturday and Sunday — less than Chhaava's Rs 85 crore and Housefull 5's Rs 63.5 crore during the same period. However, Aamir's film has fared better than many other big 2025 releases. However, Sitaare Zameen Par's performance stands out as the film is not a tentpole, which has become de rigueur for post-pandemic theatrical releases. Instead, Aamir brings forth a heartwarming story with a largely new cast of neurodivergent actors with a message. For instance, Raid 2 minted Rs 30 crore, Sikandar earned Rs 30 crore on its first Saturday and Sunday, Kesari Chapter 2 collected Rs 22.75 crore, and Sunny Deol's Jaat pulled in Rs 23.75 crore on their respective opening weekends. Sitaare Zameen Par box office vs Aamir Khan's previous releases Aamir Khan's last film, Laal Singh Chaddha (2022), was a major box office disappointment, minting a total of Rs 61.36 crore in domestic collection in its lifetime. Sitaare Zameen Par has already raked in Rs 60.12 crore in just three days and is poised to surpass Laal Singh Chaddha's lifetime domestic earnings very soon. Prior to that, Aamir's 2018 release Thugs of Hindostan also underperformed. It collected Rs 41.5 crore over its first weekend — lower than Sitaare Zameen Par's Rs 49.42 crore. Despite a massive budget of Rs 300 crore, Thugs of Hindostan could only manage Rs 133 crore in total domestic revenue. Aamir's 2017 release Secret Superstar also saw moderate success, with a lifetime domestic collection of Rs 81.28 crore. Given the current trajectory, Sitaare Zameen Par is expected to surpass this number within five days of release. Aamir's last massive hit remains 2016's Dangal, which earned a staggering Rs 387.38 crore in domestic collections. Dangal had minted Rs 77.23 crore over its first weekend, significantly higher than Sitaare Zameen Par's Rs 49.42 crore. Apart from Aamir, Sitaare Zameen Par also stars Genelia Deshmukh and is directed by RS Prasanna.

Oil prices have been on an upward trend in recent weeks due to rising geopolitical instability in the region. Gold also surged amid the uncertainty, jumping 2.95% to $3,379.60 per ounce as investors flocked to safe-haven assets. In equities, Japan's Nikkei dropped 0.74%, while the broader Topix fell 0.64%.
