'Sitaare Zameen Par' box office opening day analysis: The Aamir Khan starrer expected to open at Rs 7-8 crore; will it affect 'Housefull 5'? Trade experts discuss
Aamir Khan 's 'Sitaare Zameen Par' has now released in theatres and while the trailer got a decent response, it's the positive word of mouth that shall play a huge role in the film's box office fate. While one may usually expect a big Aamir Khan starrer to open with big numbers, this one is slightly different. It's made for a different audience and will grow eventually if the public reviews are good. As per the advance booking report of the film till Thursday night, the movie had sold about 81931 tickets and collected Rs 2.5 crore in the advance bookings, according to Sacnilk. Talking about the expectations from the film on day 1, trade expert Taran Adarsh told ETimes, "I think the start is not going to be like the typical Aamir Khan starrer that we used to see in the past. I think the film will start slow, but will depend on the word of mouth. The start may be in single digits and if the word of mouth is very good, then I think it should cross the double digits on day one, but as of now, it's looking like a single digit opening." He added, "This is a word of mouth film. This is not a Dhoom or 'Ghajini' that will open with a bang. Now, as I said, it all depends on the public reports. I think Rs 7.5 to 8 crore is what we are looking at." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning... Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Click Here Undo Film trade expert Girish Wankhede said, "'Sitaara Zameen Par' doesn't look like a massive film. It looks typical, classy, elite film for the high-end, multiplex cutout. So, the way regular Aamir Khan films like PK, Dangal, performs, this one won't do that way. Secondly, it is not a huge release. Instead of marketing, they are more invested in showcasing the characters with various has not touched the masses. Third thing is, there are no great songs. So, my expectation of the very first day is around 7 to 8 crores, which is very less compared to all the Aamir Khan releases. If the word of mouth is stronger, then it can just go out of the roof on Friday and Sunday." Talking about the weekend numbers expected, in case the word of mouth is good, Wankhede adds, "At this moment, I can say that this film would not do more than 30-35 crores in the weekend, which is not a great number." Lesser screens for ' Housefull 5 ' At the moment, 'Housefull 5' starring Akshay Kumar, Riteish Deshmukh , Abhishek Bachchan among others is dominating at the box office. It collected Rs 2.75 crore on Thursday which was day 14. The second week collection of the movie is now Rs 40 crore. The total collection of the movie so far is Rs 168 crore. But with the release of 'Sitaare Zameen Par', the number of screens for 'Housefull 5' will reduce. Taran Adarsh says, "Yes, that is going to be less. But in single screens, I think this film Housefull 5 will still be there. But major shows in multiplexes will be 'Sitaare Zameen Par'." However, Wankhede feels that since the genres of both are different, it won't get affected. "Moreover, 'Housefull 5' is already beginning to steam out," he said. If 'Sitaare Zameen Par' gets positive word of mouth, the film will have the entire week to find a place for itself at the box office. On June 27, Kajol starrer mythological thriller 'Maa' releases on screen which will give competition to 'Sitaare Zameen Par'.

Kajol reveals why she turned down Karan Johar's Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna for Aamir Khan's Fanaa: 'My daughter was really small then'
Released in 2006, Fanaa became an instant blockbuster, winning hearts with its soulful music, powerful dialogues, and emotional storytelling. Directed by Kunal Kohli and produced under the Yash Raj Films banner, the film starred Aamir Khan and marked Kajol 's much-anticipated comeback after the birth of her daughter, Nysa Devgn. While fans remember Fanaa for its hauntingly beautiful shayari and the sizzling on-screen chemistry between Aamir and Kajol, few know that Kajol actually turned down Karan Johar 's Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna to be a part of the film. In a recent interview with Varinder Chawla's page, Kajol confirmed that she was offered Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, which eventually starred Shah Rukh Khan , Preity Zinta, Abhishek Bachchan, and Rani Mukerji. 'Well, Karan did offer me Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna at that point of time, but I think he wanted to go abroad for three months. My daughter was really small then — six months or a year old. I was like, I can't do it. I'd love to — I think he made a fantastic film — but I just couldn't leave my child or my husband for that long. That's when the 'Ma instinct' kicked in.' Kajol Gets CANDID About Motherhood Lessons and Son Yug's Debut In 'Karate Kids: Legends' | Exclusive Aamir Khan insisted on Kajol for Fanaa Interestingly, director Kunal Kohli once revealed that when Aamir Khan was approached for Fanaa, he already had a lead actress in mind, and it was none other than Kajol. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Kohli recalled that when discussing potential co-stars, Aamir simply kept repeating, 'Kajol, Kajol, and Kajol.' The director admitted he was surprised by Aamir's suggestion, assuming Kajol would prioritise Karan Johar's film, especially since it also featured her long-time co-star and friend Shah Rukh Khan. However, after reading the script for Fanaa, Kajol instantly agreed to the role of Zooni Ali Beg, a visually impaired Kashmiri woman, and made the film her comeback vehicle. Fanaa went on to become one of the highest-grossing films of 2006, reportedly earning around Rs 130 crore at the box office. The film was not only a commercial success but also a critical one, cementing Kajol and Aamir's pairing as iconic in Bollywood history.
