Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par, the latest release capturing audience attention, has achieved an impressive feat at the box office by earning ₹8.5 crore on its first Monday. What makes this number significant is not just the amount, but the expectations it has surpassed.
Prior to release, many trade experts and cine-goers had predicted ₹8.5 crore to be the film's likely opening day collection. However, the film surprised everyone by performing better than expected over the weekend, and now, even on a crucial Monday, a day that often sees steep drops in earnings, it has held its ground remarkably well.

The film's compelling storytelling and strong performances especially from the 10 debutants are likely contributing factors to its sustained success.
