Aamir Khan is once again making waves at the box office with his latest release, Sitaare Zameen Par. The sports drama, directed by RS Prasanna and co-starring Genelia D’Souza, is steadily approaching the ₹100 crore mark in India and has also performed impressively overseas. The film earned a strong opening weekend and continues to receive praise from both audiences and critics for its emotional depth and powerful storytelling.
Within just a week of its release, Sitaare Zameen Par has climbed into the global top ten earners. According to a report by Sacnilk, the film has grossed ₹123 crore worldwide in six days. Domestically, it has earned ₹82.40 crore so far. On Day 6, early estimates suggest a collection of around ₹7.25 crore. The sports drama saw a strong opening weekend, driven by positive word-of-mouth and a compelling narrative. It earned ₹10.7 crore on its first day and peaked on Sunday with ₹27.25 crore in collections.
Sitaare Zameen Par, directed by RS Prasanna and written by Divy Nidhi Sharma, has a new ensemble cast that includes Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra, and Simran Mangeshkar. Genelia plays Aamir’s wife in the movie.
Aamir Khan’s decision to skip an OTT release and bring audiences back to cinemas seems to be working. Sitaare Zameen Par continues to resonate with viewers, thanks to its heartfelt storytelling and a powerful soundtrack composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, with lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya. The film is co-produced by Aamir Khan, Aparna Purohit and Ravi Bhagchandka.
An official adaptation of the Spanish film Champions, Sitaare Zameen Par, is also considered a spiritual sequel to Aamir’s 2007 classic Taare Zameen Par. While the original explored the struggles of a dyslexic child, this new chapter shifts focus to the lives of neurodivergent adults. Aamir plays Gulshan Arora, an arrogant basketball coach suspended for DUI, who is assigned to community service, coaching a team he initially underestimates. What begins as an obligation soon transforms into a journey of personal growth, empathy and unexpected connection.
