‘Sitaare Zameen Par' Box Office collection day 27: Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh starrer slows down further; mints only Rs 50 lakh on 4th Wednesday
Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh 's movie 'Sitaare Zameen Par' has been the talk of the town right from the word go. And if we examine the box office numbers, it can be safely said that the film lived up to its expectations. Released on June 20, 2025, this sports drama with the perfect blend of heartwarming emotions, laughter, and freshness has been able to attract an audience for a significant period. However, as the movie has entered its fourth week, the number graph is now witnessing a dip. Sitaare Zameen Par Box office update day 27 According to the Sacnilk report, the early estimates show that 'Sitaare Zameen Par' earned around Rs 50 lakh on its fourth Wednesday. With this, after 27 days of theatrical run, the tally has gone to an impressive Rs 162.50 crore. However, it is worth noting that the collection dropped from Rs 80 lakh to Rs 50 lakh on day 27. Though the weekend numbers were strong, weekdays witnessed a significant drop. Breaking down the Sitaare Zameen Par's weekly collection Week 1: ₹ 88.9 Cr [Hindi: 88 Cr; Tamil: 0.55 Cr; Telugu: 0.35 Cr] Week 2: ₹ 46.5 Cr [Hindi: 46.24 Cr; Tamil: 0.17 Cr; Telugu: 0.09 Cr] Week 3: ₹ 18.95 Cr [Hindi: 18.88 Cr; Tamil: 0.07 Cr] Day 22 [4th Friday]: ₹ 0.9 Cr [Hindi: 0.9 Cr ] Day 23 [4th Saturday]: ₹ 2.5 Cr [Hindi: 2.5 Cr ] Day 24 [4th Sunday]: ₹ 2.85 Cr [Hindi: 2.85 Cr ] Day 25 [4th Monday]: ₹ 0.6 Cr [Hindi: 0.6 Cr ] Day 26 [4th Tuesday]: ₹ 0.80 Cr [Hindi: 0.80 Cr ] Day 27 [4th Wednesday]: ₹ 0.50 Cr * early estimates Total: ₹ 162.50 Cr Sitaare Zameen Par - More than just a sports drama Directed by RS Prasanna, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' stands out for its story and emotions. It seamlessly blends elements of sports, humor, and touching moments. The plot centers around Aamir Khan, who plays a basketball coach who faces suspension and is subsequently assigned community service. This situation leads him to coach a team of athletes with disabilities for an upcoming tournament. 'Sitaare Zameen Par' review 'The film mixes sentiment with spunk, avoiding overly preachy tones. ID (intellectual disabilities) is described through relatable lines like, 'Humaari kismat haathon pe nahi, chromosome pe likh ke aati hai (Our destiny isn't written on our palms — it's written in our chromosomes).' While the underdog sports narrative and troubled-coach arc feel familiar, the film's heart and humour keep it engaging,' reads the Times of India review of the movie, with an impressive rating of 3.5 stars. However, the review also highlights flaws in the film, as it further mentions, 'That said, the story does wander. Subplots involving his mother, Preeto (Dolly Ahluwalia Tewari), and their butler Daulatji (Bijendra Kala) contribute little to the core story. A few other sequences feel stretched, and pacing suffers in parts. The climax gets overly sentimental in parts. Some scenes, like the team managing airfare and accommodation for the final match, come across as convenient and trite. '

War 2: Jr NTR Entry Scene Details Out, Actor To Feature In Dance Number With Hrithik Roshan
Last Updated: Producer Naga Vamsi confirms Jr NTR plays a full-length role in War 2 alongside Hrithik Roshan. The action film hits screens on August 14, 2025. Ever since Jr NTR was confirmed to star in War 2, excitement around his role in Yash Raj Films' expanding spy universe has been sky-high. But as buzz around the teaser grew, so did speculation — especially about how much screen time the RRR star would actually get. Now, producer Naga Vamsi has put those rumours to rest. Speaking with Gulte Pro, Vamsi denied reports that Jr NTR would appear for just a portion of the film. 'NTR being there for 30-40 minutes is not true," he said. 'Both of them will be there throughout the film. After the first 15 minutes, Tarak anna will enter, and both of them will dance to a song. It is a commercially packed film." Backing his words with action, Vamsi's Sitara Entertainments has reportedly picked up the Telugu distribution rights for War 2 at a massive Rs 80 crore. On his decision, he added, 'I bought it because all these commercial elements will be there. How everything will come together, even I will watch it with the audience in the morning show. Based on my faith in NTR's judgement, I bought the film." Meanwhile, War 2 has officially wrapped its shoot. The film, directed by Ayan Mukerji, stars Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR in key roles, with Kiara Advani also part of the main cast. Shot across five countries, the movie features six large-scale action set pieces and is set to release in theatres on August 14, 2025, in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil. The movie is the sequel to the 2019 action thriller, War and marks the return of Hrithik as Agent Kabir. This time, he is fighting another Indian agent, Vikram (played by Jr NTR), who is the new addition to the franchise. With just a month left for its release, the makers are now all set to unveil the film's official trailer. According to the insiders close to the project, Ayan and YRF have finalised the trailer for this action-packed thriller and plan to release it by mid-next week. 'YRF is lauded for designing trailers that evoke enthusiasm among viewers, and the cut of War 2 is locked with the purpose of generating buzz and intrigue to new heights. The theatrical trailer showcases three leads—Hrithik Roshan, NTR, and Kiara Advani—at their finest, and the team is confident that with an approximately 3-minute cut, it will leave an impression," said a source to Pinkvilla. view comments First Published: July 16, 2025, 09:24 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
