According to trade estimates, the net earnings range from ₹9.5–₹10.5 crore, while producers have estimated a slightly higher figure of ₹10.5–₹11.5 crore. Either way, the film marks a resilient return for Aamir Khan following the underperformance of Laal Singh Chaddha in 2022.
💡 A Strong Start Backed by Legacy and Emotion
Touted as a spiritual successor to 2007’s Taare Zameen Par, the film brings back Aamir’s signature blend of emotion and social relevance. Unlike its predecessor, which opened at ₹2.62 crore and slowly built momentum, Sitaare Zameen Par has launched with over four times the opening-day earnings, reflecting audience anticipation and nostalgia.

Early audience reviews are positive, and the emotional storytelling, family appeal, and strong word-of-mouth suggest a potential long theatrical run. If it holds steady over the weekend, Sitaare Zameen Par could become one of the standout box office performers of the year.
📢 Closing Note
With a blend of legacy, emotion, and Aamir Khan’s return to form, Sitaare Zameen Par has opened its account on a high note. Its journey in the coming weeks will determine whether it can recreate or surpass the iconic impact of Taare Zameen Par.
