Sitaare Zameen Par Rockets Past ₹100 Crore Worldwide: Aamir Khan’s Blockbuster Stuns Box Office
Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par: A Box Office Juggernaut
Rarely do Bollywood films roar out of the gate, but that’s exactly what happened with Sitaare Zameen Par. Led by Aamir Khan and directed by RS Prasanna, this sports comedy-drama pulled off something every producer dreams of – earning back its hefty ₹90 crore budget in just three days. The film isn’t just making noise; it’s dominating conversations across India and overseas, sending a clear message that audiences still crave a big, feel-good entertainer.
By the end of day four, Sitaare Zameen Par powered through the ₹100 crore milestone worldwide, settling at a massive ₹112.10 crore gross. What makes this figure stand out even more? The breakdown. ₹65.80 crore came from Indian theatres, while overseas fans contributed a hefty ₹30 crore. That international haul is nothing to sneeze at—in fact, it blew past Akshay Kumar’s Sky Force (₹15 crore) and Bhool Chuk Maaf (₹3.3 crore), pushing Sitaare Zameen Par into the ranks of the year’s top ten films worldwide, landing at number nine for 2025 so far.
And this isn’t a flash in the pan hit. The film’s domestic numbers held up on weekdays—usually a tough time for box office receipts. On its fifth day, Tuesday, it still managed ₹8.60 crore, boosting its five-day India net collection to ₹74.40 crore. In a market that’s known for wild swings and steep drop-offs after the weekend, steady collections like this are a sign that viewers are coming back and probably bringing friends. Word-of-mouth, it seems, is working overtime for Aamir Khan’s latest outing.
Beating Rivals and Eyeing New Triumphs
The Bollywood box office hasn’t exactly been sleepy this year. Sitaare Zameen Par opened in a crowded field, with heavyweights like Housefull 5 offering discounted tickets to lure in moviegoers. But while others played with price tags, Sitaare Zameen Par doubled down on content and star power. The result? Audiences kept turning up, putting more distance between Aamir Khan’s film and other releases. The buzz is so strong that the film is fast approaching the ₹80 crore mark domestically—a milestone that cements its status as one of the year’s defining hits.
The overseas story is just as impressive. Sitaare Zameen Par has its eyes set on toppling Kesari Chapter 2’s overseas gross of ₹34.25 crore, a feat that once seemed unlikely for a film in its genre. Big stars, engaging storylines, and plenty of heart—audiences outside India have clearly responded to all of this, turning Sitaare Zameen Par into an export success, not just a local blockbuster.
If the crowds keep up this pace, there’s every chance the film will climb even higher in Bollywood’s rankings. For now, though, Aamir Khan and his team have plenty of reasons to celebrate—a budget smashed, rivals left behind, and a crowd-pleaser that shows no signs of slowing down.
