After the disappointing performance of Lal Singh Chaddha, Aamir Khan is gearing up for a strong comeback with his new film Sitare Zameen Par. With just hours left for its release, all eyes are on the advance bookings and whether this film can surpass the first-day earnings of his previous flop.

Aamir has taken a unique approach with Sitare Zameen Par by keeping ticket prices reasonable and limiting the number of shows. Notably, the film will not release on any OTT platform, emphasizing a theatrical-only experience. Fans and critics alike have high expectations as this marks Aamir’s return after three years.

Industry estimates predict that Sitare Zameen Par could earn around ₹11-12 crores on its opening day.

Despite its failure, Lal Singh Chaddha earned over ₹11 crores on day one. Currently, advance booking data from Saccanilk shows that Sitare Zameen Par has already collected ₹1.03 crores (excluding block bookings) and ₹3.64 crores including block bookings. Directed by R.S. Prasanna and produced by Aamir Khan Productions, the film’s strong start is promising.

There is optimism that ticket sales will grow by Saturday and Sunday, leading to a robust weekend collection. The film revolves around an arrogant basketball coach whose life transforms after interacting with a group of neurodivergent children. This heartfelt narrative combined with Aamir’s unique filmmaking style could strike a chord with audiences.

With Aamir’s reputation and the film’s powerful theme, Sitare Zameen Par could well turn out to be a milestone in his career, overshadowing the shadow of his last flop.
