Sitaare Zameen Par advance booking: Aamir Khan film eyes ₹3.61 cr opening
After a three-year break, Bollywood perfectionist Aamir Khan is making his big-screen comeback. His next movie, Sitaare Zameen Par, directed by RS Prasanna, is ready to release in theatres on June 20, 2025. Early booking trends suggest a modest, yet promising, start at the box office.
The spiritual follow-up to Taare Zameen Par, Sitaare Zameen Par, is likewise thought to have been produced on a far lower budget. The film's success would depend on new strategies adopted by Aamir's team and word-of-mouth from the audience.
Apart from promoting the film, Aamir Khan is also taking a bold stand against the OTT wave dominating Bollywood. Reportedly, Amazon Prime Video offered a whopping ₹120 crore for Sitaare Zameen Par, but Aamir turned it down. The actor firmly believes that a theatrical-first strategy is essential to revive the cinematic experience and bring audiences back to theatres.
Sitaare Zameen Par Advance Booking: Insights
According to early data posted on Wednesday morning by Sacnilk.com, a modest amount of Rs 99.74 lakh in advance bookings was made for the opening day, which translates to 38,770 seats sold across 6,128 shows.
With Rs 90.64 lakh from 29,689 tickets sold in 5,764 screenings, the Hindi version is the most popular. While the Tamil version made Rs 1.22 lakh from 88 shows, the Telugu version made Rs 7.87 lakh from 276 shows. The entire revenue, including blocked tickets, may amount to Rs 3.61 crore.
Delhi leads the region with Rs 24.09 lakh, followed by Telangana at Rs 12.47 lakh and Maharashtra at Rs 15.73 lakh. On the first day of release, the movie is anticipated to bring in Rs 3.61 crore after accounting for blocked seats.
Sitaare Zameen Par: New strategies by Aamir Khan
Bollywood Hungama said that the exhibitors have been provided with a comprehensive set of release guidelines by the producers and distributors.
Now that Sitaare Zameen Par has received CBFC permission, distributors have released updated criteria for theatres across the country. In order to maintain a consistent start time for all Indian movie theatres, the film cannot be shown before 9:00 am. Because Aamir Khan has chosen 'affordability' above premium rates to ensure that the picture remains accessible to a larger audience, theatres have been instructed to implement popular weekend pricing, which is a little more than usual but not at blockbuster levels.
Aamir Khan's 'Sitaare Zameen Par': Cast and Crew
Sitaare Zameen Par is scheduled for release on Friday, June 20. Divy Nidhi Sharma wrote the screenplay, while Srinivas Reddy, the cinematographer, created the visuals, Ram Sampath scored the background, and Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy composed the music. The editor is Charu Shree Roy. Aamir Khan and Aparna Purohit are the producers of Sitaare Zameen Par.
Besides Aamir in the lead, the film also stars Genelia D'Souza as the female star. Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar are among the ten neurodivergent actors who make their acting debuts.
The movie is marketed as a spiritual successor to Khan's highly regarded drama 'Taare Zameen Par' from 2007. Everyone is now excited to see how the public reacts during the theatrical run and whether positive early reviews may help the project move forward.

Sitaare Zameen Par box office collection Day 1 prediction: Aamir Khan starrer to earn around Rs 30 crore
Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Collection Day 1 Prediction: Aamir Khan's highly-anticipated film Sitaare Zameen Par is set to hit theatres on June 20. Positioned as a spiritual sequel to Aamir's hit 2007 film Taare Zameen Par, the film is expected to perform well at the ticket window. In a chat with India Today, film trade analyst Taran Adarsh, said, 'The box office run (of Aamir Khan) currently depends on word-of-mouth. Since the promotion for the film is very light, now the film's success depends only on Aamir Khan's face-value. For the opening weekend, it could be around Rs 30 crore.' 'Since it's a sequel to Taare Zameen Par, and the 2007 film did really well in its time, I hope Sitaare Zameen Par works well for Aamir. While the film's numbers won't go beyond Taare Zameen Par, it should at least touch a success limit unlike his recent movies,' he added.

Aamir Khan's Father Would Slap Him Hard, Leave Marks On Face: 'It'd Be Very Embarrassing'
Last Updated: Aamir Khan's father would hit him with the back of his hand, and his ring would get imprinted on the actor's face. Aamir Khan, often called 'Mr. Perfectionist," had a complex, transformative relationship with his parents, marked by strict discipline, financial instability, yet deep familial bonds. Aamir is the son of producer-director Tahir Hussain and homemaker Zeenat Hussain. Aamir often talks about his mother as a gentle, supportive figure, always encouraging. Conversely, his relationship with his father was more combative. In a chat shared on the YouTube channel of Zee Music Company, Aamir mentioned that his mother has always been an empathetic and sensitive figure in his life. 'I have never heard my mother raise her voice. Me and Faisal (his brother) would have a lot of fun as kids, so she would just say, 'Aamir, aap aisa karenge? (Aamir, will you do this?)' This was the maximum that she would scold us," he said. However, his dynamic with his father was the opposite. He recalled, 'My father and my mother were very different personalities. Faisal and I would get prints of his hand on our faces. We would get slapped with the back of his hand; he used to wear a ring, and that ring would leave a mark on our face. So the next day, when we would go to school, it would be very embarrassing." Aamir Khan didn't have a close relationship with his father. In a 2007 custody battle (for his brother) and disputes over business decisions, Aamir distanced himself from his father, further straining their relationship. However, they eventually reconciled. Tahir Hussain passed away on February 2, 2010, in Mumbai due to a massive heart attack. Aamir was abroad when he received the news and returned immediately, sharing memories and expressions of deep respect on social media in the years that followed. Their relationship—marked by conflict, compliance, and eventual reconciliation—helped form Aamir's grounded persona. Today, he often reflects on his career choices with introspection, having recognised the sacrifices his mother and children made, and the toll his ambitions took on those bonds. Meanwhile, on the work front, Aamir Khan will next be seen in Sitaare Zameen Par. It is a spiritual sequel to Aamir Khan's 2007 film, Taare Zameen Par. The movie stars Aamir Khan alongside Genelia Deshmukh. It is a remake of the Spanish film Campeones. The film marks the Hindi cinema debut of Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar. In the film, Aamir Khan plays Gulshan, an assistant coach of a prominent basketball team. After losing his job, he had to choose jail or serve 90 days of community service as the coach of a team comprising specially-abled basketball players. Directed by RS Prasanna, the film is scheduled for release on June 20, and anticipation is running high as the date approaches. First Published:
