Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par Opens in Theatres with Promising Box Office Predictions

Aamir Khan's New Film Hits Theatres

The highly awaited film Sitaare Zameen Par, featuring Aamir Khan, has officially premiered in cinemas. This movie centers around children with special needs, showcasing Aamir in the role of a basketball coach. Directed by RS Prasanna, the cast includes Genelia D’Souza and introduces ten newcomers portraying specially abled characters. It is a remake of the Spanish film Campeones.

Positive Reception and Box Office Forecast

Despite having modest advance ticket sales, the film is garnering favorable reviews. As reported by a media outlet, it is projected to earn between Rs 9–10 crore on its opening day, with the potential for evening and night screenings to elevate the total beyond Rs 10 crore.

Industry analysts anticipate a robust weekend performance, estimating that the film could accumulate Rs 40–45 crore within its first three days if the current trend continues.

Aamir Khan's OTT Rights Decision

In a notable move, Aamir turned down a substantial offer of Rs 120 crore from a streaming service for the film's OTT rights. Analysts suggest that if the film does not attract a significant audience in theatres, Aamir may face a financial setback of Rs 120 crore.

His previous release, Laal Singh Chaddha, managed to earn Rs 58.73 crore throughout its theatrical run.
