As of Day 18 (third Monday), Sitaare Zameen Par has reached Rs 148.89 crore, inching close to the Rs 150 crore milestone—a feat rarely achieved by a non-action, emotion-driven social drama in recent years.
With this, the film has comfortably overtaken Thugs of Hindostan (Rs 145.55 crore), Ghajini (Rs 114 crore), and Talaash (Rs 93.61 crore) in Aamir Khan's career tally. It now trails behind only 3 Idiots (Rs 202.47 crore), Dhoom 3 (Rs 271.07 crore), PK (Rs 340.8 crore), and Dangal (Rs 374.43 crore)—all massive blockbusters with wide appeal and multi-week dominance.
Sitaare Zameen Par marks a significant comeback for Aamir after the underwhelming performance of Laal Singh Chaddha (Rs 61.12 crore). It has not only reinstated his box office credibility but also reaffirmed his strong connect with family audiences, thanks to the film's emotional themes, inclusive narrative, and child-centric story.
While it may not reach the heights of Dangal or PK, its entry into the top five is a clear testament to the power of content-driven cinema when backed by a trusted name like Aamir Khan. With limited competition in the coming days, Sitaare Zameen Par is expected to continue its steady run and possibly close its lifetime business above Rs 160 crore.
