Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Collection Day 1: Aamir Khan-starrer sees slow start; mints THIS amount
Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Collection Day 1: Aamir Khan's film Sitaare Zameen Par is predicted to have a slow start at the box office. The film was released on Friday. Directed by RS Prasanna, it is the spiritual sequel of Taare Zameen Par. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Sitaare Zameen Par made a business of ₹ 4.76 crore on Friday, June 20. It is to be noted that this is the live data from the website and subject to changes. The final figures will be out post 10 pm. The Aamir Khan movie was reported to release in theatres with over ₹ 6 crore business on day 1 if advance booking is considered. As per the website, the film had sold 1,15,344 tickets for 9,542 shows in all languages nationwide in advance booking. Without blocked seats, the Aamir Khan sequel was poised to make a business of ₹ 3.31 crore from advance booking ticket sales. In total, the film was said to open with ₹ 6.88 crore gross earnings, including blocked seats. The film is following a strictly theatrical release policy which means it might not see its OTT release soon or ever. The film is also experimenting with several new strategies, as per a report of Bollywood Hungama. It is majorly clashing with Akshay Kumar's Housefull 5, which has now slowed down at the ticket window. Talking about Sitaare Zameen Par's box office performance trends and early estimates, film trade analyst Taran Adarsh told Live Mint that Aamir's film will rely on word-of-mouth. He said, "The advance booking is not in sync with the star status of Aamir Khan. Yes, the advances should have been better because Aamir Khan returns to the big screen after a big gap with his own production, starring in it. It should have been better. I genuinely believe Sitaare Zameen Par is a word-of-mouth film. It should grow with word of mouth.' Going by the early reviews from the audience, the film has been dubbed as a 'well-intentioned film.' Critics reviews also hailed Aamir Khan's performance in the film. Sitaare Zameen Par is said to be the Hindi remake of the 2018 Spanish film, Campeones. Besides Aamir, it also has Genelia D'Souza. It also features 10 special actors who marked their acting debut on this Friday.

Sitaare Zameen Par Twitter Reviews: The film may not be flawless, but fans feel Mr Perfectionist Aamir Khan is back
Back in 2007, Aamir Khan wowed the country with Taare Zameen Par, one of the biggest masterpieces that Bollywood had ever seen. The story, the performances and most of all, his chemistry with co-star Darsheel Safary made this film a memorable watch. So much so that when a spiritual successor titled Sitaare Zameen Par with Genelia Deshmukh was announced, fans were hit with a rush of nostalgia. Today, Aamir returned to the silver screen once again to remind the world that every child is special, just like the 'sitaares' he got to coach in his film. But did Sitaare Zameen Par manage to strike a chord with fans like Taare Zameen Par did? Here's what netizens have to say. A post shared by Aamir Khan Productions (@aamirkhanproductions) Aamir Khan and his film Sitaare Zameen Par have successfully left audiences satiated. While some have pointed out that the film is not as flawless as Taare Zameen Par was, netizens believe that Sitaare Zameen Par has its own charm and is enjoyable. But most importantly, fans feel that after his box office bomb Laal Singh Chaddha (2022), Aamir has finally redeemed himself. One such Twitter review read, '#SitaareZameenParReview: Masterpiece :⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 Engaging script +Comedy hits properly and Emotional Scenes are powerful. Mr Perfectionist #AamirKhan is Back. @geneliad looks cute. The CLIMAX is the soul of this Film. 1st Half is Good But 2nd Half 🛐 #SitaareZameenPar.' A rave review read, '#SitaareZameenPar is an enjoyable film. Hard to dislike given the subject. It's an easy crowd pleaser with moral lessons. I can just end the tweet here to get more reach…. BUT gotta be critical for my own honesty - it lacks the extraordinary touch we associate with great Aamir films. At times, it feels repetitive, the film itself grows like a slow learner. Nonetheless, a very positive cinema smiles. 🙂,' whereas another internet user stated, '#SitaareZameenPar Too good ❤️❤️❤️ Kaafi pure film. Bahot hasa aur roya. not a perfect film.. has some flaws (Genelia's arc).. but it has enough good things to make you look over them. Aamir Maamu is back doing what he does best.. teaching us how to live 🥳 BTW WHAT A BANGER PERFORMANCE BY ALL THE SITAARES. THEY WERE LITERALLY THE BEST, FUNNIEST, HEARTIEST & REALEST CHARACTERS I'VE SEEN IN A LONG TIME. Also, don't compare it with Taare Zameen Par (prolly one of the best films ever made in India). This is one is more in the zone of 3 Idiots with its light heartedness. Go watch it on the big screen.' After reading these reviews, are you planning to book your tickets for Sitaare Zameen Par?

'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." Day wise collection of 'Sitaare Zameen Par' Day 1 [1st Friday till afternoon] ₹ 3.89 Cr ** - Total ₹ 3.89 Cr
