Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Collection Day 3: Aamir Khan's film crosses Rs..., Sunday earnings jump to...

RS Prasanna's Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh-starrer Sitaare Zameen Par left a lasting impact on the audience. The movie witnessed a good weekend. And, as per early estimates by industry tracker, Sitaare Zameen Par crossed the Rs 50 crore net mark in India alone. According to a trade website, Sitaare Zameen Par earned Rs 26.45 crore on Sunday, bringing its total net collection in India to Rs 57.35 crore. Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Collection Aamir Khan's film had a shaky start on the opening day, earning Rs 10.7 crore.

The movie also witnessed a 41.76% Hindi occupancy on Sunday, with numbers growing as the day progressed. About Sitaare Zameen Par Sitaare Zameen Par is a spiritual sequel to Aamir's 2007 film Taare Zameen Par. The movie featured Darsheel Safary in the lead and Tisca Chopra and Vipin Sharma in key roles.

Sitaare Zameen Par Review review of Sitaare Zameen Par states, 'Overall, Sitaare Zameen Par is a true example of how one should deal with sensitive topics such as Down syndrome. While some try to make a mockery of such subjects, this film does not just keep its focus on the characters but also gives a life lesson. This film is a typical Aamir Khan-style film that perfectly balances humour and emotions and does not feel like a forced sequel at all; instead, it raises the bar high for its remarkable legacy.'
