Sitaare Zameen Par Smashes Box Office Expectations

If you thought Bollywood's streak of big openers was slowing down, think again. Sitaare Zameen Par, headlined by Aamir Khan and co-starring Genelia D’Souza, has left its mark in a major way—pulling in a hefty ₹114.7 crore worldwide in just four days. That’s not just impressive, it’s game-changing, especially considering it leapfrogged over recent competitors like Sky Force and Raid 2, which had been hyped as 2025’s big contenders.

The film, a blend of comedy, drama, and the high stakes of sports, finds Aamir Khan right in his comfort zone—mixing vulnerability and strength to anchor a story that doesn’t shy away from big emotions. Director R.S. Prasanna’s vision pays off here, crafting a story that manages to feel both personal and crowd-pleasing. Audiences in India have shown up in droves, with the domestic net hitting ₹74.4 crore—a haul most films would kill for at the end of week one, let alone after just four days.

Overseas Clout and New Records

What really makes Sitaare Zameen Par stand out, though, is the overseas response. It’s picked up ₹26.8 crore (that’s $3.1 million)—numbers that not only dwarf Akshay Kumar’s Sky Force (₹15 crore) and Jaat (₹14 crore), but also put it within striking distance of this year’s overseas blockbuster, Kesari Chapter 2, which holds a ₹34.25 crore record in international markets. Early projections suggest that if word-of-mouth keeps traveling, Sitaare Zameen Par could even topple that mark by the end of its first week.

The film currently holds the title of the 8th highest-grossing Hindi film for 2025, moving ahead of Bhool Chuk Maaf and Deva. A solid chunk of its success is down to Aamir Khan’s sheer star power, but let’s not forget the buzz around Genelia D’Souza. Her much-talked-about comeback hasn’t just delighted nostalgic fans—it’s given the release an added jolt, with social media raving about her chemistry with Khan and her easy presence on screen.

Critics have latched onto the film’s emotional depth, highlighting Prasanna’s knack for balancing comedy with grounded drama. The storyline, rooted in human connection and sportsmanship, seems to have struck a nerve, pulling in families and young fans alike. Single screens and multiplexes are both seeing packed houses, especially over the weekend.

  • Worldwide Gross: ₹114.7 crore in four days
  • India Net: ₹74.4 crore
  • Overseas Earnings: ₹26.8 crore ($3.1 million)
  • Ranks 8th among 2025 Hindi releases

Looking at how tickets are still flying and the positive chatter hasn’t cooled down, the film’s ₹100 crore club entry might just be the start of a much bigger box office story for Aamir Khan and his team this year.
