Sitaare Zameen Par box office day 6: Aamir Khan's film eyes ₹100 crore mark
Sitaare Zameen Par box office day 6: Aamir Khan's latest release, Sitaare Zameen Par, continues to shine at the box office. After a strong opening weekend driven by positive word of mouth, the film witnessed the expected Monday slump—but it has held steady since, setting its sights firmly on the ₹100 crore milestone.
Sitaare Zameen Par: Box office performance Day 6
Released on Friday, June 20, the film had a solid opening with ₹10.7 crore on day one. It gained strong momentum over the weekend:
Saturday: ₹20.2 crore (up 88.79% from Friday)
Sunday: ₹27.25 crore (up 34.90% from Saturday)
However, as with many films, Sitaare Zameen Par faced a noticeable dip on weekdays:
This brings the total domestic collection to ₹77.46 crore (net) across all languages.
Sitaare Zameen Par: Occupancy and reach
On Wednesday, June 26, the film reported the following average occupancy rates:
Hindi: 11.37%
Tamil: 16.46%
Telugu: 14.74%
Despite being a niche film, Sitaare Zameen Par has managed to pull in decent footfall across regional markets, thanks to its emotional appeal and strong performances.
Aamir Khan vs the OTT wave
With its theatrical-only release, Sitaare Zameen Par also stands in contrast to other recent Bollywood films opting for hybrid or direct-to-digital releases. It has already outperformed Karan Sharma's Bhool Chuk Maaf, a romantic comedy featuring Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi that took the OTT-first route via Maddock Films.
Aamir Khan, who has been vocal about preserving the theatrical experience, seems to be reaping the rewards of his stance with this box office success.
Sitaare Zameen Par: About the film
Directed by R.S. Prasanna, Sitaare Zameen Par is a heartwarming sports comedy-drama produced by Aamir Khan Productions. The film stars Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh in lead roles, alongside Brijendra Kala and Dolly Ahluwalia.
Unlike Khan's previous commercial blockbusters like Ghajini or Dangal, this film tackles emotional and social themes, yet has still managed to carve out a strong position in the post-pandemic box office landscape.

‘Sitaare Zameen Par' beats ‘Ghajini' to Become Aamir Khan's 6th Biggest Hit at the Box Office
Aamir Khan is back. His film Sitaare Zameen Par is a box office success. The movie earned Rs 122.65 crore. It beat Ghajini's record. Sitaare Zameen Par shows Aamir's strong connection with the audience. The film did well in its second weekend. It might challenge Thugs of Hindostan next. New film releases could affect its run. Aamir Khan 's latest film Sitaare Zameen Par has officially crossed a major milestone at the box office, becoming the sixth biggest hit of the superstar's career in terms of Hindi net collections. After ten days in theatres, the emotional drama has raked in Rs 122.65 crore across all languages, with its Hindi version alone contributing Rs 121.88 crore. With this the film has surpassed the lifetime of his 2008 blockbuster Ghajini (Rs 114 crore), which for years was considered one of the benchmarks of success in Indian cinema as it was the film which opened the Rs 100 crore club. Exclusive | Kajol CANDID On Horror Fears and Son Yug's Voice Debut In 'Karate Kids: Legends' This achievement marks a significant comeback for Aamir Khan after the underwhelming performance of Laal Singh Chaddha in 2022, which had netted only Rs 61.12 crore in Hindi during its theatrical run. Sitaare Zameen Par not only brings him back into box office form but also re-establishes his connect with audiences, especially in the emotional and socially conscious storytelling space — something that has been his stronghold since Taare Zameen Par. SZP opened to a solid Rs 10.7 crore on its first Friday and saw tremendous growth over the weekend, collecting Rs 20.2 crore on Saturday and Rs 27.25 crore on Sunday. Even though there was a predictable dip on Monday and Tuesday, the collections held steady mid-week and gained momentum again during the second weekend, with Rs 14.50 crore on its second Sunday (early estimates). This strong hold suggests that word-of-mouth is working in the film's favour. The success of the film showcases strong audience pull and brand loyalty to Aamir Khan's style of placed at number six on Aamir Khan's list of top-grossing films, Sitaare Zameen Par sits just behind Thugs of Hindostan (Rs 145.55 crore), and ahead of iconic titles like Ghajini (Rs 114 crore), Talaash (Rs 93.61 crore), Taare Zameen Par (Rs 62.95 crore), and Laal Singh Chaddha (Rs 61.12 crore). As the film enters its second week, the path ahead seems promising. If the current trend continues, Sitaare Zameen Par could even challenge Thugs of Hindostan for the fifth spot by next weekend. This would be despite Anurag Basu releasing his Metro … In Dino starring Aditya Roy Kapoor and Sara Ali Khan along with Akshaye Khanna 's Akshardham as both new films have failed to generate any major buzz.
