Sitaare Zameen Par Worldwide Lifetime Box Office: Aamir Khan starrer collects Rs 268 crore globally to emerge a HIT
Sitaare Zameen Par To End Its Global Run Grossing Rs 268 Crore
Sitaare Zameen Par may not be among Aamir Khan's highest grossing films. However, it is a film that gives the actor his goodwill back. Duds like Thugs Of Hindostan and Laal Singh Chaddha affected his goodwill but it is, to an extent, back with Sitaare Zameen Par. While the footfalls will be lower than Thugs Of Hindostan almost everywhere, it's not that big of an issue as there is a stark difference in the budget, release size and box office health.
Sitaare Zameen Par's Profitability Depends On The Non Theatrical Digital Rights
Sitaare Zameen Par, with a reported budget of Rs 120 crore, including the remake rights and print and advertisement expenses, and excluding Aamir Khan's remuneration, will fetch the producers a Rs 110 crore global share. Non-theatrical share of the movie is pegged at Rs 50 crore excluding the digital rights. Rs 40 crore of surplus, along with the digital rights of the film (if ever sold) will be Aamir Khan's remuneration from the project.
As Aamir Khan, being the major star that he is, gives over 2 years to every project of his, it's only fair to assume his remuneration to be taken as atleast Rs 100 crore. Most of his contemporaries who take relatively lesser time for every movie of theirs, make or charge more for every film, and that's how we have arrived at this figure. If the film's digital rights are not sold, the makers will have to find a way to generate atleast Rs 60 crore more, to justify Aamir Khan's involvement in the project.
Aamir Khan's Next Film Feature
After Sitaare Zameen Par, Aamir Khan will next be seen in Lokesh Kanagaraj's Coolie, led by Rajinikanth.

Khushi Kapoor Trolled For Saying She'd Debut With Ahaan Panday: 'Thank God It Didn't Work'
Last Updated: Saiyaara has turned out to be a massive hit and positioned Ahaan as one of the most promising newcomers in Bollywood. Ahaan Panday is currently enjoying his moment in the spotlight, thanks to his impressive debut in Saiyaara. Directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Yash Raj Films, the musical romantic drama also marks the film debut of Aneet Padda. The film has turned out to be a massive hit and positioned Ahaan as one of the most promising newcomers in Bollywood. As his stardom rises, an old interview of Khushi Kapoor expressing her wish to debut opposite Ahaan has resurfaced and netizens have strong opinions. In a 2019 episode of Neha Dhupia's talk show, Khushi appeared with her sister Janhvi Kapoor. When asked which star kid she'd want to be paired opposite in her debut, the options were Aryan Khan, Ahaan Panday, and Meezaan Jaaferi. Khushi responded, 'I have only seen Ahaan act out of the three of them, so I guess it would be like, the safest option." Janhvi, however, rooted for Meezaan as Khushi's ideal co-star. Fast forward to 2023, Khushi made her debut in The Archies alongside Suhana Khan, Agastya Nanda, and her rumoured boyfriend Vedang Raina. Meanwhile, Ahaan debuted in Saiyaara, which crossed Rs 250 crore at the Indian box office and continues to grow. Now that both actors have found their footing in the industry, netizens have reacted to the viral clip. One user wrote, 'If Khushi was in Saiyaara it would have flopped. Aneet's acting was a major part of the success." Another commented, 'Thank godddd this did not work out!!! She would have ruined his debut." A fan added, '6 years old post. Now every nations actress would choose an Ahaan Panday film." As of now, both Ahaan and Khushi have not announced their next projects. Aryan Khan, however, is ready for his directorial debut with Netflix's The Ba**ds of Bollywood*. Here's wishing them all success ahead!

‘Ahaan Panday would fully deserve Rs 100 crore,' says ‘Gupt' director Rajiv Rai as he opens up on fees of stars, says actors should charge money based on their box office returns
The rising cost of entourage of stars and the exorbitant fees of actors has been a topic of discussion for a while now, especially because the industry has been suffering since Covid. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Now film-maker , known for making Kajol, starrer 'Gupt', 'Tridev', 'Mohra' has weighed in on the matter. Rai didn't mince words in a recent interview with Bollywood Hungama, where he took aim at the growing trend of exorbitant actor salaries in Bollywood, a system he believes is propped up by corporate producers chasing glamour instead of substance. He said, "Money has become too important here now. Nobody cares about the script." 'I would blame the producers because they are willing to pay. An actor can even quote Rs 1,000 crore. It's basic demand and supply. Since there's more money in the market now, everyone's chasing glamour over substance,' Rai remarked, pointing to a shift in industry priorities. He criticised major studios for putting blind faith in star power, often at the cost of strong storytelling. 'They think audiences will show up just because a certain actor is in the film. But glamour doesn't sell alone. They don't even bother to look closely at the script,' he added. He highlighted the disconnect between stardom and actual ticket sales and said, 'There might be lakhs of fans gathered outside a star's home, but these same people won't buy tickets to see their film. They're not loyal. They won't open their wallet unless the content connects.' According to Rai, the only fair way to determine an actor's worth is to tie it directly to performance at the box office. 'Here's how I calculate an actor's fee: whatever I pay them, they must recover for me on Day 1. If I want to be generous, I'll give them three days. If I've paid Rs 100 crore to an actor, then the film must make that back within three days of release. That's when they truly deserve the money.' Thus, he quipped that a newcomer would fully deserve Rs 100 crore, if he could bring that kind of return on opening. 'So, when someone comes to me and asks for ₹10 crore, I simply say: I'll give you my first day's collection,' he said.

Saiyaara Box Office Day 11: Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda Film Crosses Rs 250 Cr Mark In India
Last Updated: Saiyaara collected Rs 9.50 crore on second Monday, crossing Rs 250 crore in India and Rs 300 crore globally. Netflix release expected around Diwali. Mohit Suri's Saiyaara continues to impress at the box office, defying expectations with each passing day. The romantic musical drama starring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda minted Rs 9.50 crore on its second Monday, as per early estimates by Sacnilk. While this reflects a drop from the weekend numbers, the film is still holding strong, especially considering it has no big stars backing it. With this, Saiyaara has officially crossed Rs 250 crore net in India and over Rs 300 crore worldwide—making it one of the biggest sleeper hits of 2025. The film is now eyeing the Rs 275 crore mark domestically by the end of its second week. Directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Yash Raj Films, Saiyaara has been lauded for its emotional storytelling, fresh casting, and soul-stirring soundtrack. It marks Ahaan Panday's acting debut and has also given a massive career boost to actress Aneet Padda. The film also stars Rajesh Kumar, Varun Badola, Alam Khan, Sid Makkar, and Shaan Groverr in supporting roles. According to a report by The Times of India, the makers have closed a deal with Netflix for the OTT release of Saiyaara. However, given its continued box office success, the film's digital debut has now been pushed closer to Diwali. This move is expected to give the film an extended shelf life and cater to festive viewers at home. Released on July 18, 2025, Saiyaara is loosely inspired by the 2004 Korean romantic drama A Moment to Remember. The film follows Krish Kapoor, a disillusioned musician who crosses paths with the introspective poet Vaani Batra. Together, they navigate love, loss, and healing in a story that has struck an emotional chord with audiences. From strong word-of-mouth to chart-topping songs, Saiyaara has become a shining example of how content-driven cinema can still draw crowds in a star-driven industry.
