Sitaare Zameen Par nears 2/3rd budget recovery in 1st weekend
Aamir Khan is back with Sitaare Zameen Par, a drama directed by RS Prasanna and co-starring Genelia Deshmukh.
The film opened strong, earning about ₹60-61 crore in India over its first weekend—already close to two-thirds of its ₹90 crore budget.
Friday started at ₹10.7 crore, then picked up speed on Saturday and Sunday.
The movie crossed ₹50 crore worldwide in just 2 days
Crowds grew each day, with theater occupancy jumping from 22.5% on Friday to over 54% by Sunday—Sunday evening shows even hit 65% capacity.
Internationally, the movie crossed ₹50 crore worldwide in just two days, thanks in part to ₹13 crore from overseas fans.
Will it be able to cover its full budget?
Even with new releases like Kajol's Maa and Sonakshi Sinha's Nikita Roy hitting theaters, Sitaare Zameen Par is performing well at the box office right now.
The next few days will show if it can cover its full budget and keep audiences coming back for more.
