Sitaare Zameen Par Day 1 Box Office Collection Prediction: Aamir Khan Set for ₹7–10 Crore Opening
Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par releases today, June 20, and is expected to open with a Day 1 collection in the range of ₹7–10 crore, according to early trade estimates.
Industry tracker Sacnilk reports advance bookings have already crossed ₹1.6 crore, indicating decent initial interest despite minimal promotions.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh has predicted that the film could earn around ₹30 crore over the opening weekend, depending on word-of-mouth.
'The film's fate depends on audience response. Aamir's brand value will drive initial footfalls,' he said.
The film is seeing a full theatrical release, as Aamir Khan has turned down a ₹120 crore OTT deal. He has also asked theatres to begin shows only after 11 am and keep ticket pricing at regular weekend levels.
Box office performance will become clearer as the day progresses, but early indicators suggest a solid start driven by Aamir Khan's star power.

According to industry tracker Sacnilk's early estimates, Sitaare Zameen Par has collected around Rs. 8.77 crore India net on its first day in all languages. A spiritual sequel of Aamir Khan's 2007 hit film Taare Zameen Par, the film had a theatre occupancy of 17.73% in Hindi on Friday, with morning shows at 16.74%, afternoon shows at 16.25%, and evening shows standing at 20.21%. The highest occupancy was in the Jaipur region at 29.33 %.

However, the film may gain momentum over the opening weekend due to positive word of mouth, following a trajectory similar to Taare Zameen Par. The 2007 drama collected Rs 2.62 crore on its opening day, but it ultimately became a box office hit. An excerpt from SCREEN's Sitaare Zameen Par review read, 'This film wouldn't have worked as well as it does if Aamir hadn't been fully committed to putting himself out there as a hero-who-is-a-jerk, letting us walk past the annoyingly noble Lal Singh Chadha character which never hit any of its marks. This is a film whose express intention is to normalise 'everyone's normal'. It doesn't shy away from being message-y –sab ka apna apna normal hota hai—but it is not, praise be, preachy.' Directed by RS Prasanna and produced by Aamir Khan Productions, Sitaare Zameen Par also features 10 debutant actors – Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar.

Despite Supreme Court's green light for ‘Thug Life', film fails to release in Karnataka
Despite the Supreme Court clearing the path for the release of Kamal Haasan-starrer Thug Life movie in Karnataka, the film failed to hit the theatres in the southern state on Friday. The distributors decided not to distribute the film in the state, reportedly due to the poor response and box office collections in other states. The film opened to mixed reviews earlier this month, leading to a poor theatrical run across the country. According to the makers, the film was produced with a budget of Rs 300 crore. After two weeks of its release, the movie is struggling to touch the Rs 50-crore mark in India. Meanwhile, the distributors in Karnataka are prioritising new films, such as Dhanush- and Nagarjuna-starrer Kuberaa and Aamir Khan's highly anticipated Sitaare Zameen Par. The Mani Ratnam-directed Thug Life released on June 5 across India except in Karnataka, where its release was 'stalled' following the controversy over lead actor Haasan's reported remark that 'Tamil gave birth to Kannada'. The Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) demanded an apology from the actor. Meanwhile, pro-Kannada groups threatened to target theatres if the film was screened, pushing the makers to petition the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court on Wednesday directed the Karnataka government to ensure the uninterrupted release of Thug Life in the state, dismissing a public interest litigation filed under Article 32 of the Constitution. The court transferred a related case from the Karnataka High Court and closed proceedings after the state filed an affidavit confirming no restrictions on the movie's release. The Karnataka government, in its affidavit, stated that it has imposed no ban on Thug Life and pledged full protection and security for its screening. Senior advocate Satish Parasaran, representing Raaj Kamal Films, expressed satisfaction with the state's stance and chose not to pursue the writ petition further. The bench emphasised that the state must act swiftly against any groups attempting to forcibly disrupt the film's release. 'We should be able to check our emotions. Otherwise, we will be engulfed by them. There is a difference between real life and reel life,' the court observed.
