Aamir Khan has made a triumphant return to the big screen with Sitaare Zameen Par, which released nationwide on June 20. Touted as a spiritual sequel to his 2007 classic Taare Zameen Par, the film is striking a chord with audiences and critics alike, earning praise for its emotional depth and socially resonant storytelling. According to early estimates by industry tracker Sacnilk, Sitaare Zameen Par is expected to earn over ₹6 crore on its opening day. The film is currently running in more than 9,000 shows across India, a big jump from earlier estimates, showing strong demand and excitement among moviegoers. Early morning shows, which began at 9 am, saw impressive occupancy, especially in major cities. Sitaare Zameen Par day 1 collection As per industry tracker Sacnilk, the movie has minted around ₹4.76 Crore at the box office, and this number is likely to surge by the end of the day. It is expected that Aamir Khan's movie might earn over ₹6 crore on its opening day. Exclusive theatrical release Known for taking risks, Aamir Khan has once again surprised the industry by choosing only a theatrical release for Sitaare Zameen Par. As per reports, the actor has turned down a ₹120 crore offer from Amazon Prime Video to make sure the film has a full run in cinemas. He also asked theatre owners not to rush the movie to OTT platforms, giving it more time to grow in theatres. Experts believe this move could work in Aamir's favour if the film maintains its positive buzz. Early reactions suggest the film is emotional, inspiring, and suitable for audiences of all age groups. A special highlight of the movie is the acting debut of 10 specially-abled children, who have received praise for their heart-touching performances.

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' 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

Aamir's brand value will drive initial footfalls,' he said. The film is seeing a full theatrical release, as Aamir Khan has turned down a ₹120 crore OTT deal. He has also asked theatres to begin shows only after 11 am and keep ticket pricing at regular weekend levels. Box office performance will become clearer as the day progresses, but early indicators suggest a solid start driven by Aamir Khan's star power.
