Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Collection Day 15: Aamir Khan's emotional sequel slows but stays strong at ₹135 Cr

Aamir Khan's much-anticipated sequel 'Sitaare Zameen Par' has wrapped up its second week at the box office with a steady yet slowing performance. On Day 14 (Thursday), the film collected ₹ 2.5 crore across India, bringing its total net collection in the domestic market to ₹ 135.4 crore. The day 15 collection marks a 9.09% drop from the previous day, signalling the expected weekday slump following a decent second weekend. The week two total stands at ₹ 46.5 crore, which is a 47.69% drop from the opening week—indicating a clear slowdown in momentum as the film enters its third weekend. Despite the dip, the film's overall performance remains strong. The 15-day India gross stands at ₹ 161.90 crore, while the worldwide total has reached an impressive ₹ 214.50 crore. Of this, overseas earnings contribute ₹ 52.60 crore, a sign that Aamir Khan's global appeal remains intact. Occupancy figures reflect the gradual decline in footfall. On Day 15, Hindi (2D) occupancy averaged just over 10% throughout the day, with morning shows seeing 7.66% attendance, gradually rising to 11.97% by night. Directed by R.S. Prasanna, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' is a spiritual sequel to the 2007 cult classic 'Taare Zameen Par'. The film stars Aamir Khan as a basketball coach assigned to train a group of neurodivergent children after being involved in a driving-related incident. Genelia D'Souza co-stars, and the film notably features ten neurodivergent debutant actors. On Wednesday, the cast and crew held a special screening in Mumbai for specially-abled students, attended by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and Amruta Fadnavis. As the film enters its third week, it faces competition from 'Metro…In Dino', a multi-starrer directed by Anurag Basu. With big names like Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Pankaj Tripathi, and Sara Ali Khan, the new release could impact Sitaare Zameen Par's box office run. Produced by Aamir Khan and Aparna Purohit, the film continues to hold its ground with its emotional narrative and inclusive casting.

Anurag Basu reveals 'Metro… In Dino' was originally meant for Irrfan Khan and Konkona Sen Sharma

Anurag Basu's 'Metro… In Dino' continues the story from 'Life in a… Metro', originally meant for Irrfan Khan and Konkona Sen Sharma. Basu prioritized music and cast singers first. He values honesty in filmmaking, avoiding overthinking. The film's acclaimed cast includes Neena Gupta and Pankaj Tripathi. Basu's next project stars Kartik Aaryan. Anurag Basu 's latest film, 'Metro… In Dino', has resonated deeply with audiences as a heartfelt continuation of the story begun in 'Life in a… Metro', which starred Irrfan Khan . Although nearly twenty years passed before revisiting this universe, Anurag's connection to Irrfan's memory remained a powerful influence throughout the project. Casting Approach: Singers Before Actors In a detailed conversation with News18, Basu opened up about his musical romantic drama and why Konkona Sen Sharma was the sole returning actor, with the rest of the cast being new faces. He explained "Vo, kya hai… Sabse pehle jab maine likhna shuru kiya tha, toh 3–4 saal pehle ek baar likh ke maine usko side mein rakh diya tha. When I was writing that film, Konkona aur Irrfan ki story main aage le ke jaa raha tha — from the earlier Metro". Later, he got busy with other projects and didn't immediately return to this film. When he finally revisited the script, the core story remained unchanged. Since Konkona's role was always in his mind, he naturally reached out to her to reprise it: 'Konkona ki casting mere dimaag mein pehle se thi, toh naturally… I called her.' Philosophy on Filmmaking and Honesty He shared that unlike the usual practice of casting actors first, he actually chose the singers before the actors for 'Metro… In Dino'. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning... Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Click Here Undo Chuckling, he confessed that composer Pritam was always a key part of his vision, stating, 'Konkona and Pritam were the first final casting for this film." Known for treating music as more than just background, Basu considers it a vital character in his films, giving his musicals a unique essence. When asked about India's readiness for musicals, he confidently responded, 'Yes, absolutely. If you look back at the old films, where our cinema began, this is our history. We had lost our way somewhere in the middle." Basu shared that his deep bond with music doesn't make him anxious about a film's success. He believes overthinking can hinder honesty in filmmaking, turning the process into constant doubts like 'will this work or not, let's do this instead, let's add that,' which he calls dishonesty towards the film. His philosophy is to create with honesty and give your best. He humorously remarked that if the goal is simply to please everyone, then it's better to make rajma chawal instead — questioning the very purpose of making a film. Current Success and Future Projects On the work front, Anurag Basu is currently receiving widespread acclaim for 'Metro… In Dino', which boasts an ensemble cast including Neena Gupta, Anupam Kher , Saswata Chatterjee, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Ali Fazal, Konkona Sen Sharma, Pankaj Tripathi, Aditya Roy Kapur, and Sara Ali Khan. Looking ahead, he is working on a new musical drama featuring Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela in the lead roles.

Metro In Dino Day 1 India Box Office: Anurag Basu's rom-com takes a low start; Nets Rs 3.40 crore on opening Friday

Metro... In Dino, directed by Anurag Basu and starring Ali Fazal, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Nina Gupta, Anupam Kher, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma and others, has taken a slow start at the Indian box office, on its opening day. The Anurag Basu directorial has only been able to manage Rs 3.25-3.50 crore net and that's certainly not the kind of number you expect from a sequel to a cult film. The Day Wise India Net Collections Of Dino Are As Under Dino Will Require A 100 Percent Growth On Saturday, After A Low Rs 3.40 Crore Net Start In India, To Make A Case Metro has a lot of work to do, with the low opening it has registered. A 100 percent Saturday growth has become more of a necessity than a luxury, for the movie. It is with this kind of a jump that the film can see a decent level hold on Monday, and then sustain for a couple of weeks in theatres. The movie is a work of passion and that's the reason that it has gone well over budget. With a little tighter budgeting, the pressure on the movie's theatrical performance could have been much lesser than what it is. Dino Requires Atleast Rs 75 Crore Gross Worldwide To Breakeven With recoveries of Rs 70 crore from non-theatrical revenue sources, against a budget of Rs 100 crore, Dino needs atleast a Rs 30 crore global share in order to ensure that no one really loses money on the movie, even if no one makes much money either. A Rs 75 crore worldwide total is necessary for a Rs 30 crore worldwide share, and that looks difficult unless the word of mouth really kicks in for this one. Anurag Basu Has His Next Release After Dino Already Stacked Anurag Basu has his next release already stacked. Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela's untitled next is nearing completion. It was announced for Diwali 2025, but it is unclear if the film will make the cut. Dino In Theatres
