Sitaare Zameen Par box office verdict: Aamir Khan's film earns around Rs 220 crore in full run; is it a hit or a flop?
Sitaare Zameen Par shines at the box office
Aamir Khan is in the limelight because of his latest film Sitaare Zameen Par, which hit the screens last month. The sports comedy drama has made a solid impact at the box office despite not being a commercial mass movie. Manobala Vijayabalan, a trade analyst, told Indiatimes it earned Rs 220 crore worldwide during its run.
'Sitaare Zameen Par grossed around ₹220 cr at the WW Box Office. Although it collected less compared to normal standards set by tier 1 stars, the film emerged as a profitable venture because it was made on an ultra low budget of ₹90 cr,' he said.
In doing so, Sitaare Zameen Par outperformed Salman Khan's Sikandar and the Akshay Kumar-led Kesari Chapter 2. The action thriller earned Rs 177 crore in its full run. The figure failed to do justice to its budget of Rs 200 crore. The Khildai's courtroom drama, on the other hand, earned Rs 144 crore (as per Bollywood Hungama) in its full run and emerged as a 'semi-hit'.
According to Manobala, the positive word-of-mouth helped the Sitaare Zameen Par emerge as the choice to the audience despite the relatively subdued promotions and message-oriented storyline.
'Positive response from the majority of the audience made this film a successful one,' added the trade analyst.
The Times of India gave Sitaare Zameen Par a rating of 3.5/5 and described it as a 'feel-good slam dunk for inclusion'.
A much-needed hit for Aamir Khan
Sitaare Zameen Par has helped Aamir Khan bounce back after two consecutive flops. He suffered a setback when Thugs of Hindostan (2018) grossed only Rs 322 crore globally despite being shot on a massive budget of Rs 300 crore. The action-adventure drama also received negative reviews.
Similarly, Laal Singh Chaddha (2022) too failed to live up to expectations. The Forrest Gump remake, which was shot on a budget of Rs 180 crore, grossed only Rs 130 crore worldwide. Moreover, it received underwhelming reviews from most critics.
