Sitaare Zameen Par box office day 6: Aamir Khan's film eyes ₹100 crore mark
Sitaare Zameen Par box office day 6: Aamir Khan's latest release, Sitaare Zameen Par, continues to shine at the box office. After a strong opening weekend driven by positive word of mouth, the film witnessed the expected Monday slump—but it has held steady since, setting its sights firmly on the ₹100 crore milestone.
Sitaare Zameen Par: Box office performance Day 6
Released on Friday, June 20, the film had a solid opening with ₹10.7 crore on day one. It gained strong momentum over the weekend:
Saturday: ₹20.2 crore (up 88.79% from Friday)
Sunday: ₹27.25 crore (up 34.90% from Saturday)
However, as with many films, Sitaare Zameen Par faced a noticeable dip on weekdays:
This brings the total domestic collection to ₹77.46 crore (net) across all languages.
Sitaare Zameen Par: Occupancy and reach
On Wednesday, June 26, the film reported the following average occupancy rates:
Hindi: 11.37%
Tamil: 16.46%
Telugu: 14.74%
Despite being a niche film, Sitaare Zameen Par has managed to pull in decent footfall across regional markets, thanks to its emotional appeal and strong performances.
Aamir Khan vs the OTT wave
With its theatrical-only release, Sitaare Zameen Par also stands in contrast to other recent Bollywood films opting for hybrid or direct-to-digital releases. It has already outperformed Karan Sharma's Bhool Chuk Maaf, a romantic comedy featuring Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi that took the OTT-first route via Maddock Films.
Aamir Khan, who has been vocal about preserving the theatrical experience, seems to be reaping the rewards of his stance with this box office success.
Sitaare Zameen Par: About the film
Directed by R.S. Prasanna, Sitaare Zameen Par is a heartwarming sports comedy-drama produced by Aamir Khan Productions. The film stars Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh in lead roles, alongside Brijendra Kala and Dolly Ahluwalia.
Unlike Khan's previous commercial blockbusters like Ghajini or Dangal, this film tackles emotional and social themes, yet has still managed to carve out a strong position in the post-pandemic box office landscape.

Rahul Bose says his mother ‘slapped me every day for 5 years', forced him to play sports: ‘I was useless, it helped me'
Actor Rahul Bose, who has been part of the Hindi film industry for almost three decades and is known for his pathbreaking performances, recently opened up about growing up in a household where his parents defied traditional gender norms. He shared how this upbringing shaped his understanding of the world and made him more conscious and aware. In a recent interaction with ANI, Rahul revealed that his parents were quite the opposite of what gender stereotypes typically dictate. While his father paid more attention to appearances and presentation, his mother was career-focused and took charge of things that are traditionally considered 'masculine.' Speaking about the same, he said, 'I was woke way before the word came up because my mother never cooked, my father cooked. My mother slapped me every day for 5 years. I was such a nikamma (useless) that it only helped me. And you can't say that these days but believe me I was such a nikamma those days that it only helped. She forced me to play Rugby and box.' Talking about his father's reaction to his interest in more rugged sports, Rahul shared, 'I boxed in school and my father was appalled. He wanted me to wear a cap so that I wouldn't get too dark in the sun. He wanted me to play cricket and be a gentleman. He saw me playing rugby and never looked at the field when he would walk in.' Explaining how his parents' roles shaped him into the person he is today, Rahul added, 'I am the product of a father who would ask what we should wear at a wedding and a mother who asked what should I do with my career. This is exactly opposite.' Rahul is best known for his unconventional and nuanced performances in films such as Mr. and Mrs. Iyer, I Am, Bulbbul, Kaalpurush, and more. He was last seen in the film Berlin.
