Overview

  • Sitaare Zameen Par’s daily box office receipts dipped below ₹1 crore for three consecutive days in its fifth week, according to Sacnilk.
  • The sports dramedy has earned ₹254 crore globally and ₹164 crore net in India since its June 20 theatrical-only release.
  • It is closing in on the ₹258 crore benchmark set by Tanu Weds Manu Returns and the ₹260.49 crore total of Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 among post-COVID super-hits.
  • Aamir Khan’s choice to reject OTT offers kept audiences in cinemas longer but is now met with diminishing returns.
  • Writer Divy Nidhi Sharma said Khan stayed involved without interfering, respecting the written word and collaborating smoothly with director R.S. Prasanna.
