Sitaare Zameen Par Crosses ₹100 Crore in Just 9 Days, Proving Aamir Khan’s Evergreen Stardom

Aamir Khan has once again proven that quality storytelling and powerful performances never go out of style. His latest film Sitaare Zameen Par, a moving sports-comedy drama with a deep emotional core, has crossed the ₹100 crore mark within just nine days of release. The film is not only Aamir’s grand return to the silver screen but also a shining example of how meaningful cinema can achieve massive commercial success.

Directed by R. S. Prasanna and co-starring Genelia D’Souza, the film has struck a chord with audiences of all age groups. Its story revolves around children with learning disabilities and how sports become a powerful tool for empowerment and transformation. Aamir’s role as a passionate coach guiding his students towards success has been hailed as one of his most sincere and heartfelt performances in years.

On its ninth day, the film registered a significant spike in collections, earning around ₹12.75 crore. This strong jump from the previous day’s numbers is a clear indication that word-of-mouth and repeat viewings are fueling its box office growth. With a total Indian collection crossing ₹108 crore, Sitaare Zameen Par has comfortably entered the elite ₹100 crore club and shows no signs of slowing down.

The film has also outperformed several big-budget 2025 releases including Kesari Chapter 2 and Jaat, becoming one of the fastest-growing films of the year. It now joins the ranks of other 2025 blockbusters like Chhaava, Sky Force, and Sikandar, but stands apart in its genre and storytelling approach.

What’s notable is the film’s steady performance during weekdays and its strong hold over the second weekend. Family audiences, school groups, and even senior viewers are flocking to theatres, thanks to the film’s sensitive portrayal of inclusivity, resilience, and emotional connection.

Critics have praised the film’s fresh writing, sensitive direction, and impactful performances, particularly Aamir Khan’s return to emotionally rich storytelling. Genelia D’Souza too has won hearts for her grounded and sincere performance, adding depth to the narrative.

With growing momentum and minimal drop in footfalls, trade analysts predict that the film may soon cross ₹125 crore and possibly even higher if the current trend continues. Overseas collections have also added substantially to its total, as the film finds a loyal audience among the Indian diaspora and fans of Aamir Khan’s globally respected work.

In an industry where spectacle often overshadows substance, Sitaare Zameen Par is a glowing reminder that emotional storytelling, when done right, still rules the hearts—and the box office. Aamir Khan, known for his selective scripts and dedication to impactful cinema, has once again delivered a winner that blends purpose with popularity.
