Box Office: Sitaare Zameen Par crosses Ghajini globally to emerge Aamir Khan's 6th highest grosser; Dangal retains top spot
Aamir Khan is among the most loved Indian actors. His latest film Sitaare Zameen Par is doing well at the box office for the size of film that it is. The sports drama has collected Rs 195 crore globally by its second Sunday, surpassing the worldwide earnings of Aamir's 2008 blockbuster Ghajini, which earned Rs 194.60 crore. This achievement makes Sitaare Zameen Par, Aamir Khan's 6th highest-grossing film ever. Let's dive into how this film compares to his other hits on the global stage. Sitaare Zameen Par Has Crossed The Global Earnings Of Ghajini; Is Now Aamir Khan's 6th Highest Grosser After the underwhelming performance of Laal Singh Chaddha in 2022, which earned slightly over Rs 130 crore worldwide, Aamir Khan has made a good comeback. Sitaare Zameen Par, which tells the story of a basketball coach training players with special needs, has resonated deeply with many. It has reiterated that the actor still has a knack of what works and what doesn't, with the audience. Ghajini was a game-changer in 2008. It was the first Bollywood film to cross the Rs 100 crore mark in India, earning Rs 114 crore net domestically and Rs 194.60 crore worldwide. Its intense action and gripping story made it a massive hit. However, Sitaare Zameen Par has now overtaken it globally with Rs 195 crore. Ghajini continues to be a bigger hit because if adjusted for inflation, its India net numbers itself would be around Rs 400 crore, if not more. Sitaare Zameen Par now ranks as Aamir's 6th highest-grossing film worldwide. Here's how it compares to his top earners: (lead roles only) Rank Movie Worldwide Gross Collections 1 Dangal Rs 1910 crore 2 PK Rs 757 crore 3 Dhoom 3 Rs 554 crore 4 3 Idiots Rs 415 crore 5 Thugs Of Hindostan Rs 310 crore 6 Sitaare Zameen Par Rs 195 crore and counting.. Can Sitaare Zameen Par Cross Thugs Of Hindostan Worldwide? Sitaare Zameen Par is now behind Thugs Of Hindostan. With strong audience support and a release in non-traditional international markets, it might challenge for the 5th spot soon. If the movie does not breakout in non-traditional international markets, Thugs Of Hindostan will retain its 5th position. Sitaare Zameen Par In Theatres Sitaare Zameen Par plays in theatres. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates on Aamir Khan and Sitaare Zameen Par.

Aamir Khan Says He Drinks All Night With Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan: 'We Never Stop At One'
Last Updated: Aamir Khan opens up on friendship with Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. Aamir Khan recently spoke candidly on Lallantop about how his relationship with Shah Rukh Khan transformed over the years. Back during the buzz around 3 Idiots, the two indulged in playful jabs, calling each other 'chichora'—a childish tease. Recalling their early days, Aamir said, 'I hadn't known Shah Rukh so much that time, we would keep meeting often, we even hung out together back then at either of our places." He laughed off a common misunderstanding, clarifying a funny anecdote and saying, 'I had written a vlog from a farmhouse in Panchgani, stating that Shah Rukh was licking his feet." But he confirmed it was actually the farmhouse dog named after SRK, not the actor. Aamir shared how Shah Rukh often teases him at award ceremonies. 'SRK often keeps making jokes on me, every year there are award functions and I don't go to them, but they keep making fun of me," he added. The dynamic shifted during film promos. SRK once remarked that Aamir's extensive promotion came across as 'chichorapan." Aamir took it in stride. He said, 'SRK is a sensible man… if he finds that chichora what can I say, that's his opinion… For me, it was an important experience as a human being… Shah Rukh might know better about it because he does a lot of it in his life; he is an expert at all this." Today, their bond is stronger and more personal. Aamir shared, 'We often make plans to catch up, and we never stop at one drink… it's usually till morning, 7 am, not just with Salman but with Shah Rukh too. This has happened eight to 10 times till now." Aamir Khan and Salman Khan, two of Bollywood's biggest stars, famously came together for the cult classic Andaz Apna Apna in 1994. Despite their individual superstardom and public camaraderie, they haven't reunited for a full-fledged film since, making Andaz Apna Apna their only major collaboration to date. Aamir recently confirmed that he, SRK, and Salman Khan have had discussions and are eagerly awaiting a compelling script to bring the trio together. First Published:

Aamir Khan revisits Bollywood's underworld era: When he got an invite from someone dangerous
Aamir Khan has opened up about a disturbing chapter from the peak of his early stardom, when the Bollywood industry was grappling with underworld influence during the 1990s. In a recent interview with The Lallantop, the actor shared how he was approached multiple times by individuals linked to the underworld, who insisted he attend a party in the Middle East — likely in Dubai. Despite repeated offers of money and assistance, Khan stood firm in his refusal. Back then, Aamir had established himself as a major name in Hindi cinema following the success of Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak in 1988. But his rising fame also attracted the attention of some dangerous individuals. Without naming anyone, he said that some men approached him on a film set and later tried several times to convince him to attend the overseas gathering. Firm Refusal Despite Pressure Khan recalled that these individuals first offered financial incentives, along with promises to help with any professional need. When that didn't work, the tone shifted. According to the actor, the group eventually told him that his appearance had already been announced, making it a matter of prestige. However, Khan continued to decline. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Tiger reunites with the zookeeper after 5 years. See the tiger's reaction! Story To Hear Undo He told them clearly that if they wished, they could come any time and force him to go — by beating him or dragging him away — but he would never go of his own will. That meeting turned out to be their last interaction. After that, the group never contacted him again. Fear for Family's Safety While Aamir maintained a courageous front during the confrontation, he admitted he was deeply afraid at the time. What troubled him most was the safety of his family. He had two young children then, and his parents were deeply concerned for his well-being. Still, he remained steadfast in his decision, telling them that he simply wanted to live life on his own terms. At the time, he was married to Reena Dutta, with whom he had two children — Junaid and Ira. Their safety weighed heavily on his mind, but he did not allow fear to dictate his choices. Career Then and Now Aamir Khan also reflected briefly on his career, addressing a common debate around his 2007 directorial debut Taare Zameen Par. While Amol Gupte was the creative director who developed the concept, Khan explained that he eventually took over the direction himself after being dissatisfied with some of the filmed footage. He affirmed that he fully helmed the final version of the film. Currently, Aamir is enjoying the success of Sitaare Zameen Par, which has crossed ₹100 crore in India and earned over ₹160 crore globally. It has become one of the year's highest-grossing Hindi films. He is also producing Lahore 1947, a period drama directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, starring Sunny Deol and others. Additionally, he will make a cameo appearance in Coolie, a film led by Rajinikanth, which he agreed to join purely out of admiration for the legendary actor.
