Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Collection Day 4: Aamir Khan's film falls as initial buzz fades, yet crosses ₹60 crore
Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Collection Day 4: Aamir Khan's latest outing Sitaare Zameen Par witnessed remarkable business over the weekend as its earnings doubled and almost tripled. However, as it entered Monday, the film saw a sharp decline in earnings. However, it still managed to cross the ₹ 60 crore mark at the box office.
According to the early estimates of industry tracker Sacnilk, the Aamir Khan-starrer earned ₹ 8.50 crore on day 4.
The film saw approximately a 68.81% drop in earnings from Sunday to Monday. On Sunday, it minted ₹ 27.25 crore, its highest single-day earnings so far.
With the latest business, the total earnings of the film now stand at ₹ 66.65 crore.
Mondays often put a film to the test, as footfalls typically drop after the weekend rush. Similarly, Sitaare Zameen Par saw an overall 19.15% occupancy on June 23.
For Hindi version, the occupancy was as follows:
Meanwhile, Delhi NCR region had the highest number of occupancy with 1468 shows. Following closely is Mumbai with 1078 shows. Others in the list are Pune, Bengaluru and Hyderabad.
Despite a good number of screenings for Sitaare Zameen Par, turnout in theatres across Kolkata and Ahmedabad remained lower than expectations.
The worldwide collection for day 4 is yet to be out on the website.
Talking about the film's opening weekend business, film trade analyst Taran Adarsh had tweeted, 'THE SITAARE SHINE BRIGHT IN THE OPENING WEEKEND... #SitaareZameenPar hits it out of the park in its opening weekend, with business multiplying hour by hour, day by day – delivering outstanding numbers across its first three days. #SitaareZameenPar relied heavily on urban audiences and high-end multiplexes beyond the metros to drive its business – and the target audience welcomed it with open arms. In today's digital age, word of mouth travels faster than ever – be it positive or negative – and #SitaareZameenPar has clearly benefitted... The day-on-day growth in business has been phenomenal. While the contribution from urban centres has been exceptional, mass pockets, too, have witnessed good to decent gains over the weekend. All eyes are now on the weekday trends… The crucial Monday will play a decisive role in determining the film's long-term trajectory.'
Sitaare Zameen Par is directed by RS Prasanna.
It also stars Genelia D'Souza.

Sitaare Zameen Par Overseas Box Office: Aamir Khan starrer falls back to Earth after brief orbit
Sitaare Zameen Par grossed USD 350K approx on its first Monday overseas, pushing its four-day total to USD 3.65 million (Rs. 31.50 crore). Adding Rs. 77 crore from the domestic box office, the worldwide gross stands at Rs. 108.50 crore. The film took four days to cross the century mark globally. The Monday hold is rather ordinary, not disastrous, but pretty much kills hopes for a good final number for it. The issue isn't so much the drop in percentage terms, but the already low base. At this level of business, a normal drop just doesn't cut it; you need stronger holds to build momentum. The film had a soft launch on Friday, but an impressive Saturday surge raised hopes for a good finish. However, Sunday saw a typical drop, and Monday has brought the numbers down to very low levels. After that Saturday bump, USD 10 million seemed like an easy target for the film, but now it's starting to look like a much steeper climb. The performance is middling across the board. Gulf, which saw decent numbers on the weekend, is also down to low levels on Monday, with just USD 90K coming in yesterday. The biggest letdown, however, is the United States. Historically speaking, this is the driving market for Aamir Khan, while here the numbers are below par, just barely ahead of Housefull 5, which itself didn't do well. There is also another perspective to look at, that a couple of days ago, the outlook for Sitaare Zameen Par was far worse. It seemed almost dead on arrival, a complete non-starter. While the film hasn't exactly turned things around in a big way, it has at least managed to avoid total rejection. The Territorial Breakdown for Sitaare Zameen Par is as follows:

How will Akshay Kumar up his sequel game ?
Akshay Kumar, once Bollywood's sequel king, faces challenges as franchises like *Housefull* and *Welcome* encounter financial and creative roadblocks. *Kesari 2* underperformed, and *Hera Pheri 3* is stalled due to cast exits. *Jolly LLB 3* remains a hopeful project, highlighting Bollywood's need for innovation beyond mere franchise reliance to resonate with evolving audience tastes. For years, Akshay Kumar was considered Bollywood's most bankable star, he has delivered hits across genres from comedies to action to drama to romance. In the post Covid era, sequels have become a go-to option for filmmakers to ensure maximum return at the box office. And in the race of sequels Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar were leading the race. Ajay has nearly half a dozen sequels in the pipeline at various stages of production and Akshay is not too far behind. But when it comes to Akshay his sequel game seems to be not going exactly as planned. Kesari Chapter 2: Ambitious But Burdened Kesari, backed by Karan Johar and directed by Anurag Singh was one of the biggest hits of 2019. Cashing on the sequel Karan and Akshay joined hands to bring Raghu and Pushpa Palat's book The Case That Shook The Empire based on Jallianwala Bagh Massacre to the big screen and titled the film Kesari 2. The film was mounted on a budget of over Rs 100 crore but it went on to collect Rs 92.72 crore as per Sacnilk at the Indian box office. The film thereby exposed the challenges of escalating sequel budgets without assured market pull. The film wont be losing money after taking into account non-theatrical revenue. Housefull 5: A Fading Charm The Housefull franchise has long been one of Akshay Kumar's most reliable brands, with its over-the-top humor and ensemble casts pulling in audiences over multiple installments. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Adidas Three Shorts With 60% Discount, Limited Stock Available Original Adidas Shop Now Undo However, Housefull 5, despite a strong opening weekend, showed signs of fatigue. The film has gone on to become the 6th biggest hit of Akshay's career but the massive budget it was made on does not justify the box office collection. The diminishing returns reflect both audience fatigue with the slapstick formula and perhaps a lack of freshness in the franchise's content. Welcome to the Jungle: Financial Crisis and Exit Drama Welcome to the Jungle, the third installment in the much-loved Welcome franchise, touted as a big-ticket multi-starrer and headlined by Akshay Kumar, ran into financial issues after the film went on floors. It has been months since the last time the film was shot. Reports surfaced that not only were the payments delayed to actors and their staff , several actors have walked out of the the production claims the film is on track and the film will start once the monsoons are over. The franchise that once delivered a riot of laughs and big box office numbers is currently stuck in limbo — and Kumar can do little until the producers resolve their financial woes. Hera Pheri 3: The Roadblock No One Saw Coming Hera Pheri was also backed by the same producer as the Welcome series. But the issue here was absolutely different. Paresh Rawal, one of the pillars of the series, decided to walk out of the film. He played the legendary Baburao Ganpatrao Apte aka Babu Bhaiya and with his absence , the film's production has come to a standstill. Now will he be convinced to come back to the fold or will he be replaced -only time will tell. Though Akshay claimed in an interview with Pinkvilla that he is hopeful that film will be made. He said "Whatever is happening is happening in front of my fingers crossed. I hope everything goes well." Jolly LLB 3: The Last Hope? Akshay Kumar's only stable and hopeful sequel on the horizon is Jolly LLB 3. Directed by Subhash Kapoor, the legal dramedy will bring Kumar with Arshad Warsi . Both played the titular character in 2017 and 2013 respectively. As per reports the film is based on a real life incident revolving around farmers. The Bigger Picture: Akshay and the Sequel Trap Akshay Kumar's current sequel struggle is emblematic of a larger issue plaguing Bollywood — the over-reliance on franchise films without innovating the content. While nostalgia works, audiences today seek novelty even within familiar brands. Sequels need to evolve with audience tastes, not merely ride on past success. In Kumar's case, while the Housefull, Welcome, Hera Pheri, and Kesari franchises had solid foundations, their recent outings either overplayed the same tropes or got mired in off-screen controversies and financial chaos. Kumar currently has Bhoot Bangla with Priyadarshan and Vishu Manchu's Kannappa up for release.
