Sitaare Zameen Par box office collection day 13: Aamir Khan doubles down on no OTT release, film passes Rs 200 crore worldwide
RS Prasanna's coming-of-age sports comedy Sitaare Zameen Par, starring Aamir Khan, is slowly but surely progressing at the box office. On its 13th day of release, it registered its lowest single-day earnings yet. Despite that setback, the film has managed to cross the Rs 130 crore mark in India. On Wednesday, Sitaare Zameen Par earned Rs 2.75 crore, which is a minor drop from its Monday and Tuesday figures of Rs 3.75 crore. That was, in turn, a massive drop from its weekend earnings of Rs 12.6 crore and Rs 14.5 crore on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. The film had crossed the Rs 100 crore mark over its second weekend. As per industry tracker Sacnilk, the current box office collection of Sitaare Zameen Par in India stands at Rs 132.9 crore. A couple of days after surpassing the lifetime domestic earnings of Salman Khan's action film Sikandar (Rs 129.95 crore), it's yet to beat that of Akshay Kumar's Sky Force, which amassed Rs 134.93 crore earlier this year. While Sitaare Zameen Par currently faces competition from Vishal Furia's mythological horror film Maa, starring Kajol, it'll have fresh contenders to compete with starting tomorrow. Anurag Basu's romantic anthology Metro… In Dino and the Hindi dubbed version of Scarlett Johansson-starrer Jurassic World Rebirth hit Indian cinemas this Friday on July 4. Another factor Sitaare Zameen Par has benefitted from is its producer Aamir's steadfast decision to not release his film on OTT. At a special screening of the film organized for differently-abled students in Mumbai, Aamir thanked the Multiplex Association of India for honouring him for his decision. 'Since I haven't sold my film to OTT and it's not coming on OTT, perhaps the theatre owners and exhibitors from all over India want to felicitate me for the step I've taken. I'm also very happy that they thought of this,' Aamir told the media at the event. The special screening was also attended by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and his wife, singer Amruta Fadnavis. Last month, President Droupadi Murmu also watched Sitaare Zameen Par at the Rashtrapati Bhavan Cultural Centre in New Delhi. The film, featuring neurodivergent actors, weaves in the message of diversity, equity and inclusion, the President's office had said in a post on X.

Sitaare Zameen Par follows the journey of a basketball coach (Aamir), who mentors 10 differently-abled individuals. Alongside Aamir, the film also stars Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar.

Anupam Kher recalls shutting up Aamir Khan for complaining about him to Mahesh Bhatt. Anupam shared how Aamir had taken issue with his interpretation of a particular scene and said, "In the climax of Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin, the father tells his daughter to run away from the wedding. The moment was very exaggerated. I was fully ready to portray it, but Aamir Khan complained to Mukesh Bhatt sahab about my interpretation. He found it wrong and different. Bhatt sahab added fuel to the matter and told me about Aamir's comment." He further recalled how he shut Aamir down and said, "I am the gold medallist from the National School of Drama. I used an English phrase for Aamir Khan to shut him down. Aamir was upset with me throughout the film. He was at that stage of becoming Aamir Khan, which he wanted to become. All my love for him. I think Hindi film actors are much greater actors than people from the West because we do the most unconvincing things convincingly and convince 1.4 billion people."
