Aamir Khan Champions ₹100 Pay-Per-View on YouTube for Sitaare Zameen Par

The film is priced at ₹100 per view on YouTube, a strategy based on his finding that theaters reach only 2–3 percent of India’s population.

  • He emphasizes an emotional loyalty to the art of cinema and insists that the theatrical experience remains irreplaceable.
  • Sitaare Zameen Par, which released in theaters in June, is now available for ₹100 per view on his YouTube channel.
