Sitaare Zameen Par worldwide box office collection day 1: Aamir Khan film beats Kesari Chapter 2, falls behind Sikandar
Sitaare Zameen Par worldwide box office collection day 1: Bollywood actor Aamir Khan made his return to the screen after three years with Sitaare Zameen Par, following the failure of Laal Singh Chaddha. Despite receiving positive reviews from audiences, the film had a slow start at the box office. It has surpassed the collection of Akshay Kumar's Kesari Chapter 2 but still trails behind Salman Khan's Sikandar. (Also Read: Salman Khan jokes Aamir Khan first offered Sitaare Zameen Par to him: 'Tab iska paperwork pe kaam chal raha tha') Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par takes a slow start at the box office.
According to Sacnilk, Aamir's film earned ₹ 10.7 crore on day one of its release at the domestic box office. With ₹ 12.85 crore India gross and ₹ 7.15 crore overseas collection, the film's total worldwide collection now stands at ₹ 20 crore. The numbers are slightly underwhelming for an Aamir Khan film, especially considering his last release Laal Singh Chaddha, which failed commercially, still opened to ₹ 11.70 crore in India and ₹ 23.85 crore worldwide.
However, the film has managed to surpass the day one haul of Akshay Kumar, R Madhavan and Ananya Panday's film Kesari Chapter 2, which collected ₹ 15 crore worldwide. Yet, it fell behind Ajay Devgn's Raid 2 ( ₹ 25.70 crore) and Salman Khan's Sikandar ( ₹ 26 crore). The film is expected to see a jump in numbers owing to the positive audience response. About Sitaare Zameen Par
The sports comedy-drama is a spiritual sequel to Aamir's 2007 hit Taare Zameen Par. Directed by RS Prasanna, the film stars Aamir as a basketball coach who is tasked with training a team of neurodivergent people for a tournament. The film also features Genelia D'Souza.
The film introduces 10 debutant actors: Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishnan Varma, Vedant Sharmaa, Naman Misra, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Ashish Pendse, Samvit Desai, Simran Mangeshkar, and Aayush Bhansali. The ensemble cast also includes Dolly Ahluwalia, Gurpal Singh, Brijendra Kala, and Ankita Sehgal.
An excerpt from Hindustan Times' review of Sitaare Zameen Par reads, 'The first half is slow and tests your patience. Aamir being angry with his new role, getting to know his special team, then struggling in his marriage with Sunita (Genelia Deshmukh) — there's a lot that eats up screen time and feels like lazy writing. There's the occasional laugh — pretty much what one saw in the trailer. The intermission point too isn't on a high. You settle into your seats after this, ready for a yawn-fest. But this is exactly when Sitaare Zameen Par miraculously finds its groove.'

This Indian actor built Rs 12000000000 fortune without a single hit in 12 years
Vivek Oberoi's net worth: Vivek Oberoi, once seen as a promising Bollywood star, has managed to build an astonishing net worth of Rs 1200 crore despite facing a long dry spell in his film career. With no major hits in over a decade, the actor-turned-entrepreneur has proved that success doesn't always depend on box office numbers. Early Bollywood Success and Sudden Downfall Born to veteran actor Suresh Oberoi, Vivek Oberoi made a grand entry into Bollywood with powerful performances in Company, Road, and Saathiya, all within his debut year. These films quickly made him one of the most talked-about newcomers in the early 2000s. However, success was short-lived. After his initial glory, Vivek faced a series of flops, including Kisna: The Warrior Poet, Pyare Mohan, Home Delivery, Naksha, Mission Istaanbul, and Prince. His last notable hit was in 2013, when he played the villain 'Kaal' opposite Hrithik Roshan in Krrish 3. Latest Film Release: A Major Flop In May 2025, Vivek Oberoi returned to the big screen with Kesari Veer: Legend of Somnath. Despite being made on a massive budget of around Rs 50 crore and co-starring Suniel Shetty and Sooraj Pancholi, the film failed to impress. According to Sacnilk, it managed to earn just Rs 1.53 crore net in India, marking another commercial failure in Vivek's acting career. Switching Gears: From Actor to Entrepreneur After facing multiple setbacks in his acting career, Vivek took a bold decision around 2009 to reduce his dependency on Bollywood. In an old interview with The Indian Express Screen, he shared, 'I didn't want a lobby to control my future or someone to bully me into roles just because they held power. I wanted economic independence.' That marked the beginning of a new phase in his life – entrepreneurship. Real Estate Success in Dubai Post-COVID, Vivek Oberoi relocated to Dubai and founded BNW Real Estate Developments, focusing on luxury properties in the UAE. What started as a short-term move turned into a game-changing business venture. Today, his company is thriving, and he has established himself as a prominent name in Dubai's real estate sector. In a candid chat with the YouTube channel Owais Andrabi: Dubai Property Insider, Vivek said, 'I came here during Covid for a short stay and ended up loving it. My family also felt the same, and now this place feels like home.' Vivek Oberoi's Net Worth and Income Sources Thanks to his booming real estate business, Vivek Oberoi's net worth has now reached a staggering Rs 1200 crore. Apart from property development, his income also includes brand endorsements, investments, and other business interests in the UAE and India. Speaking about his experience in Dubai, he said, 'It's an incredibly positive environment. As long as you respect the local laws and culture, you can live in peace. There's complete freedom and no stress, which helps you grow and thrive.' Vivek Oberoi's Rolls-Royce Cullinan In November last year, Vivek bought one of the most expensive cars in the world, Rolls-Royce Cullinan, worth between Rs 10.50 crore and Rs 12.25 crore. He shared the happy moment on his Instagram with the caption, "Success comes in different shapes and sizes, today it's looking like this. Extremely grateful and blessed to be celebrating special moments in life with the family." From struggling at the box office to becoming a real estate mogul, Vivek Oberoi's career journey is truly inspiring. Despite delivering no hits in 12 years, he reinvented himself and built a fortune many can only dream of. Today, he stands as a shining example of how determination, smart decisions, and a positive mindset can lead to unimaginable success.
