Sitaare Zameen Par box office collection day 1 early estimate: Aamir Khan and Genelia D'Souza's much-awaited film Sitaare Zameen Par finally hit theatres on June 20. After opening to positive reviews from critics and the audience, the movie is off to a decent start at the box office. According to industry tracker Sacnilk's early estimates, Sitaare Zameen Par has collected around Rs. 8.77 crore India net on its first day in all languages. A spiritual sequel of Aamir Khan's 2007 hit film Taare Zameen Par, the film had a theatre occupancy of 17.73% in Hindi on Friday, with morning shows at 16.74%, afternoon shows at 16.25%, and evening shows standing at 20.21%. The highest occupancy was in the Jaipur region at 29.33 %.

However, the film may gain momentum over the opening weekend due to positive word of mouth, following a trajectory similar to Taare Zameen Par. The 2007 drama collected Rs 2.62 crore on its opening day, but it ultimately became a box office hit. An excerpt from SCREEN's Sitaare Zameen Par review read, 'This film wouldn't have worked as well as it does if Aamir hadn't been fully committed to putting himself out there as a hero-who-is-a-jerk, letting us walk past the annoyingly noble Lal Singh Chadha character which never hit any of its marks. This is a film whose express intention is to normalise 'everyone's normal'. It doesn't shy away from being message-y –sab ka apna apna normal hota hai—but it is not, praise be, preachy.' Directed by RS Prasanna and produced by Aamir Khan Productions, Sitaare Zameen Par also features 10 debutant actors – Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar.

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?
