'Sitaare Zameen Par' box office collection day 1 (LIVE): The Aamir Khan starrer has a decent start, expected to earn Rs 7-8 crore on opening day
'Sitaare Zameen Par' has now released in theatres on June 20, Friday. The film has been highly anticipated. Though it is not exactly a sequel to 'Taare Zameen Par', it is like a franchise movie which also deals with kids and brings across a special message.
The early reviews of the film are encouraging and it may lead to growth in the box office numbers over the weekend. But on Day 1, the opening day number was clearly not expected to be huge, like Aamir's other movies like 'Dangal'.
Sitaare Zameen Par Movie Review
This clearly is a word of mouth movie and not those big mass blockbusters. Thus, as per trade analysts a single digit number is expected from the movie on day 1. According to Sacnilk, till Friday afternoon, the film has collected Rs 3.89 crore.
The number can be expected to increase during the night shows. The film may end up having a Day 1 number of Rs 7.5 or 8 crore.
Trade expert Taran Adarsh told ETimes, "This is a word of mouth film. This is not a Dhoom or 'Ghajini' that will open with a bang. Now, as I said, it all depends on the public reports. I think Rs 7.5 to 8 crore is what we are looking at."
'Sitaare Zameen Par' is expected to do better in multiplexes and in big cities as opposed to the two-tier, three tier centres where 'Housefull 5' may still dominate.
But it all depends on positive word of mouth, which may eventually lead to more numbers over the weekend. Film trade expert Girish Wankhede, told Etimes, "At this moment, I can say that this film would not do more than 30-35 crores in the weekend."

Watch the trailer of Sitaare Zameen Par here: India Today rated the film 3.5 stars, praising its heartfelt simplicity and humour. An excerpt from the review reads: 'The beauty of 'Sitaare Zameen Par' lies in the fact that it isn't trying to be anything it's not. There are no hidden metaphors or layered messages to decode. It is what it is - not a flawless portrayal of emotion, but a story with its heart in the right place. And oh, when it makes you laugh, it really makes you laugh. It puts to shame all those so-called comedies built on crass humour and sexist jokes.'Alongside Aamir Khan, the film stars Genelia Deshmukh and marks the debut of ten fresh faces in Hindi cinema. With the weekend ahead, all eyes are on whether 'Sitaare Zameen Par' can turn its promising start into a box office Watch

'Kuberaa' box-office report: Dhanush's 2nd Telugu film struggles at box-office despite stellar reviews
Brimming with expectations and supported by a star-studded cast including Dhanush , Nagarjuna, and Rashmika Mandanna, Kuberaa was hailed as one of the most anticipated cinematic releases of the year. Audiences and critics alike offered a warm reception to the film, praising its storytelling and particularly applauding Dhanush's performance in an unconventional role as a destitute man. Yet, despite its critical appreciation, the movie's commercial performance did not reflect that enthusiasm at the box office . Opening Collections Fall Short of Expectations According to data reported by Sacnilk, a popular platform known for tracking movie earnings, Kuberaa generated close to Rs 13 crore in revenue over its first two days in theatres. Specifically, the film raked in ₹12.98 crore on its debut day. While not a disastrous opening, the numbers were slightly below par when compared to Dhanush's previous theatrical venture, Raayan, which had achieved a more robust ₹15.7 crore on day one. This comparison has sparked discussions among trade analysts, given that Kuberaa had the advantage of a strong cast and simultaneous Telugu-Tamil release. About the Film: A Crime Saga Rooted in South India Kuberaa is a 2025 Indian crime thriller helmed by acclaimed director Sekhar Kammula. The screenplay was crafted by Kammula in collaboration with Chaithanya Pingali. Jointly backed by production houses Sree Venkateswara Cinemas LLP and Amigos Creations, the movie was simultaneously shot in both Telugu and Tamil, aiming to cater to a wider audience across South India. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like IELTS Cheat Sheet: Grab Your Free Tips! IELTS Prep Pro Learn More Undo The ensemble cast features some of the most prominent names in Indian cinema. Dhanush takes on the role of Deva, a simple-minded and impoverished man from the temple town of Tirupati. His life takes a dramatic turn when he gets entangled in a dangerous web of deceit and power. He must outsmart Deepak Tej, a former Central Bureau of Investigation officer whose moral compass has long been shattered. The supporting cast includes Nagarjuna in a pivotal role, Rashmika Mandanna, Jim Sarbh, and veteran actor Dalip Tahil. Critical Acclaim but Lukewarm Box Office Momentum Although Kuberaa has been appreciated for its performances, layered narrative, and grounded realism, its initial earnings suggest that the movie might face an uphill climb to become a commercial success. With word-of-mouth and weekend numbers being critical in determining a film's trajectory, all eyes are now on how the crime drama performs in the coming days. Whether the film manages to pick up pace or fizzles out remains to be seen.
