Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par becomes 5th highest-grossing film of his career
Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par has become a box office success, grossing Rs 149.89 crore in 18 days. The emotional drama, directed by R.S. Prasanna, is now Khan's fifth-highest-grossing film, surpassing Thugs of Hindostan and Ghajini. Its success marks a comeback for Khan and highlights the appeal of content-driven cinema, with expectations of reaching over Rs 160 crore. Aamir Khan has added yet another feather to his illustrious cap with Sitaare Zameen Par, which has raked in an impressive Rs 149.89 crore in just 18 days across all languages. Directed by R.S. Prasanna and also starring Genelia D'Souza, the emotional drama has now emerged as the 5th highest-grossing film of Aamir Khan's career, surpassing the lifetime collections of big-budget films like Thugs of Hindostan and Ghajini. Mohit Suri Spills On 20 Years In Bollywood - Ahaan & Aneet, Alia Bhatt Dream Collab & More Released in three languages—Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu—Sitaare Zameen Par opened to strong word-of-mouth and critical appreciation, especially for its heartwarming storytelling and performances. It witnessed a solid first weekend, earning Rs 10.7 crore on Friday, Rs 20.2 crore on Saturday, and peaking with Rs 27.25 crore on Sunday. Despite expected weekday drops, the film closed its first week with a robust Rs 88.9 crore. The second weekend held strong, with Saturday and Sunday contributing Rs 12.6 crore and Rs 14.5 crore respectively, and a total Week 2 collection of Rs 46.5 crore. The third weekend again showed the audience's continued interest, adding another Rs 13.3 crore over Friday to Sunday. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Spacious 4 BHK Homes starting @ ₹ 5.25 Cr* on Dwarka E-Way Emaar India Get Quote Undo As of Day 18 (third Monday), Sitaare Zameen Par has reached Rs 148.89 crore, inching close to the Rs 150 crore milestone—a feat rarely achieved by a non-action, emotion-driven social drama in recent years. With this, the film has comfortably overtaken Thugs of Hindostan (Rs 145.55 crore), Ghajini (Rs 114 crore), and Talaash (Rs 93.61 crore) in Aamir Khan's career tally. It now trails behind only 3 Idiots (Rs 202.47 crore), Dhoom 3 (Rs 271.07 crore), PK (Rs 340.8 crore), and Dangal (Rs 374.43 crore)—all massive blockbusters with wide appeal and multi-week dominance. Sitaare Zameen Par marks a significant comeback for Aamir after the underwhelming performance of Laal Singh Chaddha (Rs 61.12 crore). It has not only reinstated his box office credibility but also reaffirmed his strong connect with family audiences, thanks to the film's emotional themes, inclusive narrative, and child-centric story. While it may not reach the heights of Dangal or PK, its entry into the top five is a clear testament to the power of content-driven cinema when backed by a trusted name like Aamir Khan. With limited competition in the coming days, Sitaare Zameen Par is expected to continue its steady run and possibly close its lifetime business above Rs 160 crore.

Is Sitaare Zameen Par a hit or flop? As Aamir Khan film crosses ₹200 crore, we decode its box office performance
Aamir Khan seems to have slayed the demons haunting his films at the box office. Over the last seven years, the actor has been seen in only two films - Thugs of Hindostan and Laal Singh Chaddha. Both were monumental box office failures. That is why his most recent release, Sitaare Zameen Par, was crucial for the superstar's future. Now that the film has crossed ₹200 crore worldwide, people are calling it a success. We decode if it really is so. Sitaare Zameen Par box office performance decoded: Is the Aamir Khan film a hit or a flop? Sitaare Zameen Par box office collection The RS Prasanna directorial has earned ₹137.80 crore net ( ₹164.80 crore gross) in India in 15 days since it released in theatres. Add to it over $6 million gross from overseas, and Sitaare Zameen Par's worldwide gross stands at an impressive ₹217.50 crore. This makes it the fourth-highest-grossing Hindi film of 2025, behind only Chhaava, Housefull 5, and Raid 2. It is almost certain to enter the top 3 by the end of its run, and if the word of mouth sustains, it might just pip Housefull 5 to take the second spot, too. Interestingly, Sitaare Zameen Par has already surpassed the lifetime India collections of Laal Singh Chaddha and Ghajini and will surpass Thugs of Hindostan this Sunday (July 6). Then, only four Aamir films remain in front of it - Dangal, PK, Dhoom 3, and 3 Idiots. Is Sitaare Zameen Par a hit? But does just being in the company of Aamir's biggest hits mean that Sitaare Zameen Par is a hit itself? After all, Adipurush earned over ₹300 crore worldwide and yet was a massive flop. Fortunately, for Sitaare Zameen Par, that is not the case. The film, produced by Aamir Khan Productions, has a production budget of just ₹90 crore. According to trade sources, after adding the marketing and publicity budget, the film's landing cost is under ₹150 crore. It has already earned more than that through its domestic collections alone. Sitaare is still going strong, earning an estimated ₹7 crore worldwide on Saturday, the 16th day of its release. It showed a jump of over 140% on its third Saturday. These strong legs imply that the film won't die down for two more weeks, at least. Sitaare Zameen Par is already a hit, but it can just about be a superhit or even a blockbuster if it continues its run. Will the absent streaming rights hurt Aamir Khan? Sitaare Zameen Par is notable for being the only major Indian film in recent years to not sell its streaming rights for several crores. Aamir Khan made it clear that he does not intend to release the film on OTT, ever. So, the film has recovered some amount from music rights and satellite rights, but a big chunk of pre-release revenue is missing in the form of streaming rights. However, trade pundits argue that it may have worked in Aamir's favour. Aamir Khan was felicitated by exhibitors for Sitaare Zameen Par's success. Sitaare Zameen Par has shown jumps of 90-140% on each of the three Saturdays it has spent in the theatres. Clearly, the audience wants to see the film in theatres, partly because of the good reviews, and partly because they know it won't be on OTT once it leaves the theatres. That exclusivity has certainly bumped up the film's collections by a few crores, hopefully offsetting whatever Aamir stood to gain had he sold the rights. But clearly, for Aamir, the non-release of Sitaare Zameen Par is not about money. It is about allowing the film a clean, distraction-free theatrical run. In that, he is succeeding. The glee of the exhibitors, who recently felicitated him as 'box office ka baap' is proof enough.
