Sitaare Zameen Par Shows Strong Day 1, Saturday Predicted to Be Historic
Aamir Khan’s latest film, Sitaare Zameen Par, opened with a solid ₹10.70 crore on Friday. In a post‑pandemic era where this genre often struggles, Aamir Khan’s draw has bucked the trend. Trade experts now anticipate a historic Saturday, with collections potentially doubling compared to Day 1 — a feat that has rarely been seen in the industry. Predictions range between ₹20–23 crore for Saturday, making the weekend total cross the ₹55 crore mark. This anticipated trend signifies that Aamir Khan may be rewriting box office rules once again.
