is back with a bang! His latest film 'Sitaare Zameen Par' has won over audiences and is doing wonders at the box office. Even with strong competition from new releases like 'Kannappa', 'Maa' and 'F1: The Movie', this slice-of-life drama has stayed firm and crossed the Rs 100 crore mark with ease.
Big jump on second Saturday
'Sitaare Zameen Par', directed by RS Prasanna, has shown superb growth on its second Saturday. According to early numbers by Sacnilk, the film collected Rs 12.75 crore on Day 9, which is much higher than its earnings on Friday. On Day 8, it made Rs 6.65 crore, so this is almost double.
The total collection in India now stands at a solid Rs 108.30 crore.

In its first week alone, the film earned Rs 94.95 crore.
If this pace keeps up, it might touch the Rs 120 crore mark by Sunday.
Aamir's big risk pays off?
Aamir Khan made a bold move by releasing 'Sitaare Zameen Par' only in cinemas, with no OTT plan. This was a big risk in today's time, but it seems to have worked out well. The film opened nicely and has kept pulling people to theatres every day.
With numbers picking up again on the second Saturday, it looks like Aamir's faith in his film and the cinema experience has paid off.
What is the film about?
In 'Sitaare Zameen Par', Aamir Khan plays a basketball coach who trains a team of players with special needs. The film also stars Genelia D'Souza. It brings ten new faces to the big screen — Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra and Simran Mangeshkar.

Starting in rural UP, Aamir Khan's family was far from Bollywood fame: Actor reveals ancestral profession
While Aamir Khan is widely known as one of Bollywood 's most celebrated actors, few are aware of his strong familial ties to rural Uttar Pradesh. Beyond the spotlight and cinema, his family's story begins in mango orchards and farming fields near Hardoi. Recently, Aamir shared insights into his family's deep-rooted connection with agriculture in UP. During a candid conversation with The Lallantop, the actor revealed that his ancestral land is located near Shahabad, a town close to Hardoi in UP. He confirmed that the property still legally belongs to him, linking him directly to a farming legacy that dates back generations. Family Land Bought to Preserve Legacy Aamir explained that years ago, his mother informed him about the family's intention to sell the land in Shahabad. The property, known for its mango orchards, had belonged to his grandfather. At the time, the land was to be sold outside the family. Aamir intervened and decided to buy it himself, expressing a strong desire to keep the property within the family line. He emphasized that the land held sentimental value and represented his family's heritage, which he wished to preserve. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play War Thunder now for free War Thunder Play Now Undo Although he now owns the land, Aamir admitted he hasn't yet visited the site. He noted that official registration procedures were still pending, and legal formalities require his presence on location to complete the process. A Link to Farmer Ancestors Reflecting on his heritage, Aamir acknowledged that his family originally came from a farming background. He remarked that he might indeed be considered a farmer, considering the family's roots and ownership of mango orchards in Uttar Pradesh. Delving deeper into his family's history, Aamir recalled how his uncle, Nasir Hussain, was the first to move to Mumbai with dreams of becoming a writer. Despite the family's disapproval—since films were not seen in a positive light at the time—Nasir pursued his passion for storytelling. His talent was evident early on, having won a prize for a short story that was later adapted into the film Baharon Ke Sapne. From Rural Roots to Cinema Legacy Aamir recounted how the family, uncomfortable with Nasir's career choice, tried to dissuade him and even suggested he consult Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, a prominent figure in the Indian independence movement and India's first Minister of Education. Aamir Khan is the great-grandnephew of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, who had supported his uncle Nasir Hussain's aspirations. He advised him to follow his heart regardless of opposition, a piece of encouragement that stayed with the family. Despite initial struggles, Nasir eventually found a foothold in Mumbai's film industry, working as a ghostwriter and taking on various roles behind the scenes. Aamir highlighted the hardships Nasir faced, including financial instability and lack of support, but credited his perseverance in carving out a path that would later influence the next generation.

Reason behind Mukesh Ambani and Anil Ambani's success is these 8 powerful women: Kokilaben Ambani, Nita Ambani, Tina Ambani, Isha Ambani and...
Bollywood dazzles with its stars, but the true power moves behind the scenes—especially within India's wealthiest family. The Ambani women aren't just arm candy; they're architects of influence, each weaving unique strands into the Reliance story. Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani began as the silent partner to her husband's fledgling textile dreams. A Gujarati girl who learned English by mimicking investor speeches, she managed credit lines and family budgets while running the household. Today, she holds a personal stake in Reliance estimated at Rs 18,000 crore and still calls the shots at family dinners—once the jalebis arrive, all boardroom battles end. Nita Ambani It's Nita Ambani, the founding force behind Reliance Foundation and the Mumbai Indians. Under her leadership, the foundation funds rural health, girl education, and disaster relief. If you've attended an IPL match or the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, you've seen her blend Bharatanatyam grace with conference-floor charisma—she quips, 'Excel sheets flow better after a good aramandi.' Purnima Dalal Purnima Dalal, Nita's mother, often goes unnoticed—but her influence shines brightest in the stands beside Jasprit Bumrah. A humble Gujarati, Purnima's presence offers emotional ballast; her voice, Nita has said, is her 'personal GPS—always pointing true north.' Mamta Dalal Mamta Dalal, a senior administrator at Dhirubhai Ambani International School, shepherds celebrity kids through MUNs and math tests. She ensures The Khan kids hand in homework and never misses staff meetings—with a red pen ready, regardless of your surname. Radhika Merchant Radhika Merchant brought finance credentials—and a flair for dance—to the family. Now Anant Ambani's fiancée, her NYU & Encore Healthcare resume promises future influence—and ₹10 crore plus in personal wealth. Tina Anil Ambani Tina Anil Ambani, once a 1980s silver-screen star, now chairs Kokilaben Hospital and the Harmony Art Foundation. She continues to attend film society screenings in disguise—turns out old training does still come in handy. Isha Ambani Piramal Isha Ambani Piramal, now a fintech board member and mom of twins via IVF, she's spoken openly about motherhood and mental health—giving visibility to fertility struggles across India. Shloka Mehta Ambani Shloka Mehta Ambani, Princeton alum and director at Rosy Blue, tours the world debating ethical bead-making supply chains—and still checks on Mumbai's cow welfare every fortnight. Nina Kothari Nina Kothari, who leads Kothari Sugars and backs literacy campaigns in Tamil Nadu; and Deepti Salgaoncar, co-founder of Goa's Sunaparanta arts centre, curating everything from Mario Miranda to QR-code installations. These nine women—from Chennai classrooms to diamond boards—reinvent Reliance not by mirroring its patriarchs but by adding original voices. Their collective influence spans finance, education, culture, and care. This isn't just a dynasty's second act—it's the quiet pulse that truly powers it.
