SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR has done well enough to prove a HIT but considering the first weekend jumps, the film has not really gone on. The NOISE here was very positive in the industry with the SUPER HIT words coming out after the weekend but the film obviously lacked something. The film has mainly come through thanks to circuits like Delhi/UP, East Punjab and Mysore.

But what gives it away is that the admits on the film are just 82 lakh and a film like THUGS OF HINDOSTAN did 1.12 crore. In fact, if we take out the huge first day of THUGS OF HINDOSTAN, when the film had crashed, it still managed 75 lakh footfalls which is almost similar to the lifetime footfalls of SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR. This is a pre pandemic and post pandemic comparison but the other release LAAL SINGH CHADDHA cant really be compared as it was very bad.

Basically the film has done well enough for the genre and its limited audience but not in terms of a major star who has very few releases. Here when he comes with a film, it cant even reach the admits of a big flop like THUGS OF HINDOSTAN despite having some appreciation. It just means something is not right with the film.

India still did well enough to scrape through with pass marks with the real disappointment being Overseas as you just expect an Aamir Khan film to do better here. The film finished with a total of nearly $8 million overseas and the worldwide total is 266 crore.

The biggest hope from the film was post theatrical it maybe could deal a blow to the present power in the industry of the streaming giants but that has gone horribly wrong. It was always a long shot of the film generating revenue on You Tube but the industry lived in hope. The huge You Tube audience simply does not make transactions no matter what the price which has been lowered now for this film but its unlikely to make much difference.

The final collections of SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR in India are as follows.

Week One - 87,05,00,000

Week Two - 45,22,00,000

Week Three - 18,36,00,000

Week Four - 8,99,00,000

Week Five - 3,58,00,000

Week Six - 1,33,00,000

Week Seven - 33,00,000

Week Eight - 8,00,000

Week Nine plus - 3,00,000 (expected)

The Worldwide collections of SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR are as follows.

India -  198.85 crore (164.97 crore nett)

Overseas - 67.25 crore ($7.9 million)

SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR collected a little over 6 crore nett which is a decent collection and the film is seeing a better hold than the previous week which saw a 60% plus drop. This week the film can see a trend more towards the 50% weekly drop zone. The film has taken its total to 156 crore nett and now it looks a finish in the 165 crore vicinity.

This wee the main Hindi film was MAALIK which has a different audience from SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR but last week it was METRO...IN DINO which would have more of an over lapping audience and that is why, the drop was probably more in the third week.

The film has easily done best in the North with Delhi/UP standing at 38 crore nett apprx while East Punjab is a very good 17 crore nett. Mumbai is 45 crore nett and the film could have done better here especially places leek Mumbai city and Pune.

The collections of SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR till date are as follows.

Friday - 1,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 2,35,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 2,75,00,000 apprx

------------------------------------

SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR crossed the 250 crore mark worldwide in its fourth weekend as it stands at 254 crore. The film can maybe add another 5-10 crore for a finish in the 260-265 crore range. The film should have got higher numbers in overseas due to the Aamir Khan and genre factor but will finish with around $8 million.

The overseas numbers are less than a THUGS OF HINDOSTAN and that is counting the original Hindi film only while a disaster like LAAL SINGH CHADDHA also did $7.50 million. SECRET SUPERSTAR was $6.2 million and this is also counting the original Hindi film only. In India, it has performed better than all these films with huge gaps against LAAL SINGH CHADDHA and SECRET SUPERSTAR which is not the case in overseas. 

The best numbers in overseas are in Gulf but it should have been US/Canada and that is basically where the underperformance has come.

The worldwide numbers of SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR are as follows.

India -  189.50 crore (157 crore nett)

Overseas - 65.00 crore ($7.75 million)

------------------------------------

SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR is coming towards the end of its run as it collected 35 lakhs nett on its fifth Friday. The film had a decent trend in week four as it showed of 50% which was better than the previous week as weekdays did well after the Monday drop but now with SAIYAARA, the collections saw another drop.

This film has reached a total of a little over 159 crore nett so far and maybe can add another 4-5 crore nett from here. Its a solid performance for the genre of the film but maybe not for an Aamir Khan starrer especially because collections on the first Sunday went to that 25 crore nett plus mark and then a superb hold on Monday and Tuesday. But after that, it never really went through the way it should. That Saturday to Tuesday period in week one became the saviour of the film.

The collections of SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR till date are as follows.

Friday - 1,00,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 2,35,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 2,75,00,000 apprx

Monday - 50,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 75,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 60,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 60,00,000 apprx

Friday - 35,00,000 apprx

SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR had a decent third week of 17.50 crore nett but the film is seeing dropping collections as collections are 60% from the previous week. The total collections of the film stand at 150 crore nett and it may finish around the 160 crore nett though a lot depends on the fall today.

The film collected 87 crore nett in the first week and that has turned out the biggest plus of the film as you would think a film of this genre would really go on after the first week. But obviously appreciation is at a middle level. The disappointment is probably centres like Mumbai city and Bangalore where a film like this with Aamir Khan should be doing better numbers.

East Punjab is coming out the best circuit which is a huge surprise as the circuit is not the same as before and generally under performing but SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR is very good in East Punjab with a 16 crore nett apprx total so far in three weeks.

The collections of SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR till date are as follows.

Friday - 2,25,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 4,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 5,50,00,000 apprx

Monday - 1,25,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 1,75,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 1,25,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 1,10,00,000 apprx

SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR had a drop in collections on its third Monday as it continued with its trend of having good numbers on the weekend but dropping on weekdays. The cheap Tuesdays should come to its rescue on Tuesday and the collections should go up from this level. The film collected 1.25 crore nett apprx on its third Monday.

The film has a total of 13.50 crore nett in its third week and set to a do a third week total of around 17 crore nett. The overall total stands at 147 crore nett plus and it will be 150 crore nett plus after the third week. The collections are dropping though and the weekly holds are not as good as they should have been especially for a film of this genre which is not front loaded.

The film is looking to end its business in the 160-165 crore nett range depending on what its gets in the fourth week. The film may go ahead of the numbers of HOUSEFULL 5 but will stay below RAID 2.

The collections of SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR till date are as follows.

Friday - 2,25,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 4,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 5,50,00,000 apprx

Monday - 1,25,00,000 apprx

SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR collected 12.25 crore nett in its third weekend as it did well again on Saturday and Sunday. There is a drop from the previous weekend when the film had collected 33 crore nett apprx. The drop is over 60% and that is likely to be the trend of the film over the week. In short, it will be a 60% drop week on week.

The film continues to do best in Delhi/UP as business there stands at around 35 crore nett and that has come with a low performance in UP baring a few of the big centres. Mumbai is 40 crore nett plus but should have done better especially for a film aimed at the class audience. Being a film for the classes and on top with Aamir Khan both Mumbai and South are not as good as they should be.

The film has around 145 crore nett so far and should be looking at a total of 150 crore nett plus at the end of the third week. It then remains to be seen if the film can get a double digit fourth week which will buck the current weekly trend.

The collections of Sitaare Zameen Par till date are as follows.

Friday - 2,25,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 4,50,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 5,50,00,000 apprx

JURASSIC WORLD: REBIRTH dominated the box office with a solid 13.50 crore nett on day two adding to the 9.25 crore it picked up on day one. This takes the film to 22.75 crore nett and the film is on course to record a higher weekend in India than the last film of the franchise released in 2022. Also, there are no paid previews this time like it was for the 2022 film.

The weekend is going to be good though not great. So, it is about where the film goes on from Monday onward. Only one film in the franchise has got to the 100 crore nett mark; that would be a very good result if the film can get there but there is a long way to go.

METRO...IN DINO showed a good jump of around 70% as the collections went to 5.75 crore nett. The jump was a must for the film; if it had jumped 50%, then it would have not been good considering the opening day of the film. The two day numbers are 9 crore nett. Now, the film is in a better position than it was on day one with this growth. The next test is Monday where it needs a strong hold and then maybe it can get a decent run.

SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR roughly doubled its collections on its third Saturday with 4.50 crore nett apprx. But the film is doing well on weekends anyway and it drops on weekdays more than it should be having. The third week is looking to have drop of over 50% despite this growth. 

SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR held well enough on its third Friday considering the competition it did last week. But the problem the film is seeing is weekday drop though the film covers ground on the Fri - Sun period. This is leading to higher weekly drops than what they should be for a content which has not worked because of its initial.

The second week saw a drop of a little under 50% and the third week is likely to see a bigger drop and this is the sort of trend that the films catering to the wider mass audience gets. A film like should be showing lesser weekly drops as it has that more niche targeted audience and not much has been consumed. The film is a HIT but just about it and with footfalls struggling to reach 80 lakhs, its not really found the audience it should have.

After five days, it looked like the film had a shot of 1 crore footfalls but its going to fall quite a bit short. However, the positive is at least the film has managed to do HIT business.

The collections of SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR till date are as follows.

Friday - 6,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 12,25,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 13,75,00,000 apprx

Monday - 3,50,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 3,75,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 2,50,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 2,50,00,000 apprx

Friday - 2,25,00,000 apprx

SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR has crossed the 200 crore mark worldwide as it stands at 207 crore after 13 days and its looking a 250 crore finish for the film worldwide. There can be a China release later on due to the popularity of Aamir Khan there but that market is in the doldrums with business heavily down from pre pandemic times despite a huge local blockbuster. Also with nationalism today being the forefront in most countries, cinema will find it harder to travel as the public prefers gives preference to products from their own country.

The biggest letdown to the business of SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR are the numbers in US/Canada especially the US as the collections are just around $2.25 million till date which is low number for such a film. It may end at around $3 million but that will be underperformance for an Aamir Khan film aimed at gentry crowd and also its a film which has done pretty well in India.

The numbers in Gulf and Australia are better as far as overseas goes but basically a film like this depends heavily on the US.

The worldwide numbers of SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR are as follows.

India -  156.25 crore (129.75 crore nett)

Overseas - 51.00 crore ($6 million)

-----------------------------------

SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR managed to collect well in the second week but like the first week, it again struggled towards the end of the week. The weekdays are not doing as well as they should probably due to a lack of mass support while it does better on weekends probably due to the family audience especially in some centres of North India.

The film picked up almost 45 crore nett in week two which takes the film to 132 crore nett. The figures are good but the film has not really held like it should have considering the trend of the film film over the first five days. At that time, it looked a like a film which had the potential to hit the 175 crore nett but that looks very hard now.

The lack of mass appeal in the film has told as eventually there is a limited audience and now it looks like it will end in the same range as HOUSEFULL 5 and RAID 2 although the numbers of the latter look hard unless the third Friday goes above the Thursday. Its likely to be the third or fourth highest grosser of the first six months. The film is a HIT but mainly thanks to a few centres which have done very well while many places saw a mediocre performance.

The collections of SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR till date are as follows.

Friday - 6,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 12,25,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 13,75,00,000 apprx

Monday - 3,50,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 3,75,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 2,50,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 2,50,00,000 apprx

SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR recorded the second best second week of 2025 after CHHAAVA as it picked up 32.50 crore nett but that position is more reflective of no other films apart from CHHAAVA doing big numbers. The film is showing a 42% drop from the first weekend which is good. However, it could have been better as nowadays, some of higher collecting films, which cater to the wider audience, manage to show a trend like this.

The collections of the film are 120 crore nett so far and it should go to the 175 crore nett from here at the very least. The film does not have universal acceptance but generally the circuits numbers come out good as the bigger centres compensate for the lesser business in smaller centres. Delhi/UP is the best circuit but more than 50% comes from just two centres, Delhi city and Noida. Its similar in East Punjab which is second best circuit and over 40% comes from only Gurgaon and Chandigarh. Basically its got the numbers needed from the metro areas.

The disappointment for the film will be the business in Mumbai and South where gentry films and Aamir Khan films tend to do better and this film should have got better collections. Its possible that North regional flavour has kept these down. There is not much difference for the film in Mumbai and Delhi/UP and both are likely to finish in the same range of around 45-50 crore nett.

The collections of SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR till date are as follows.

Friday - 10,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 20,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 26,25,00,000 apprx

Monday - 8,50,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 8,50,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 7,25,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 6,50,00,000 apprx

Friday - 6,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 12,25,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 13,75,00,000 apprx

-----------------------------------------------

SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR collected 3.50 crore nett on its second Monday which takes the film to 123.50 crore nett in 11 days. The drop is a little higher than it should be on the second Monday but this will happen somewhere in the run as the acceptance is not universal. The film will still be targeting that 175 crore nett mark and should emerge the second highest grossing Hindi film of 2025.

The second week has collected 36 crore nett so far and it should go to around 45 crore nett. There will be more competition this week but the film will continue to do well over the weekends due to the appeal in metros. The film will be standing at around 132-133 crore nett after two weeks and has a few weeks more to add good collections.

The collections of SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR till date are as follows.

Friday - 10,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 20,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 26,25,00,000 apprx

Monday - 8,50,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 8,50,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 7,25,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 6,50,00,000 apprx

Friday - 6,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 12,25,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 13,75,00,000 apprx

Monday - 3,50,00,000 apprx

-----------------------------------------------

SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR got some benefit of the cheap Tuesday rates and the film collected 3.75 crore nett appx which takes the overall total to 127 crore nett. This film maybe could have done without the cheaper rates as appreciation is there with the target audience. The film has so far collected 39.75 crore nett in its second week and should finish around 46 crore nett. There is likely to be a drop on Wednesday due to the Tuesday lower rates.

The collections of SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR till date are as follows.

Friday - 6,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 12,25,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 13,75,00,000 apprx

Monday - 3,50,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 3,75,00,000 apprx

SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR continued to dominate the box office thanks to its strong numbers in the big centres as it collected around 12 crore nett its second Saturday. The growth was around 90% which was expected. Considering the growth last week, it would have been no surprise if the film had jumped even more.

This now takes the collections of the film to around 106 crore nett and it remains to be seen how Sunday fares. Last week Sunday saw huge growth of over 30% but that will probably be tough to repeat this week. The film continues to have the best numbers in the NCR region leading to Delhi/UP being the best circuits even though collections in UP are just average. This average performance is also thanks to the bigger centres like Lucknow and Dehradun.

MAA showed a decent jump of 25% as it collected around 6 crore nett taking its two day number to 10.75 crore nett. The film was going to find it hard to put up huge growth due to the genre and some mass pockets putting up good numbers on day one. As expected, these places have not jumped on the second day. The growth mainly come from the bigger multiplexes which were up in the 30-35% range. The film is doing fair business and is dependent on the weekday holds.

F1: THE MOVIE is doing good business as it collects around 7 crore nett on its second day which takes the film to 12.25 crore nett. The Sunday growth will be limited like it is for most Hollywood releases and here it could be even be flat as a huge ratio of business is coming from the bigger multiplexes. However, the film is coming out with a weekend of somewhere around 20 crore nett which is a very good result for a sports drama based around Formula 1.

SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR held up well on day eight as it picked up similar collections to Thursday at around 6.25-6.50 crore nett which gives the film a total of 87.50 crore nett. The drop is around 40% from the first day which is a good trend but this could have been better considering its not a mass film and a film which is scoring through sustaining rather than initial.

The damage here was probably done on Wednesday and Thursday as the film could not do much more than not show a drop on its second Friday considering the competition from new releases. No doubt the film will do well on Saturday and Sunday as the families in metros would come out like last week.

The film has performed best the metros with NCR area being the best of the lot. The film can aim for a 50 crore nett second week but it will depend on the weekday numbers. Only CHHAAVA has managed to go over 50 crore nett in week two with no other film even getting over 40 crore nett.

The first week numbers of SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR are as follows.

Friday - 10,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 20,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 26,25,00,000 apprx

Monday - 8,50,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 8,50,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 7,25,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 6,50,00,000 apprx

Friday - 6,50,00,000 apprx

SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR collected 7-7.25 crore nett on its first Wednesday which is s drop of around 15% and a the drop is a little higher than it should have been with 10% being ideal considering the weekend trend. But generally there was a big drop for Hindi films on Wednesday and that is with accounting for the others which were coming out of the cheap Tuesday rates.

The film is a HIT but if the film sees 15% drops over the next two days, then that second Friday will not be high as it should be and that is all important if the film is to do anything more than HIT business. No doubt the growth will be huge on Saturday. So, the higher the Friday, the better it will be.

The film stands at 81 crore nett till date and will be around 87.50 crore nett for the first week which is good number especially come from a 10 crore nett start. However, there is work for the film to be done to do the sort of business that the superb holds on Monday and Tuesday suggested.

The five day numbers of SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR are as follows.

Friday - 10,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 20,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 26,25,00,000 apprx

Monday - 8,50,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 8,50,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 7,25,00,000 apprx

-----------------------------------------------------

SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR has seen a good first week collecting 86.50 crore nett after picking up very well on Saturday and holding well on the weekdays though the film could have held better over the last two days. The film saw a superb hold on Monday dropping just 20% on Monday. When Monday is so strong, there is always a chance the film can show minimal drops over the weekdays.

The film is a HIT but it remains to be seen if it can do any better and that all depends on where it lands on the second Friday. The holds on Monday and Tuesday suggested the film should go to around 175 crore nett but that does not look so easy now especially as the flow of releases is super strong over the next few weeks from both Hindi and Hollywood.

The target for the film is to probably finish somewhere in the range where films like HOUSEFULL 5 and RAID 2 have finished and that is a very good number for the content of the film as it lacks wider appeal compared to those factors. The film must record a second Friday similar to Thursday to ensure that it comfortably goes over the 150 crore nett mark.

The first week numbers of SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR are as follows.

Friday - 10,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 20,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 26,25,00,000 apprx

Monday - 8,50,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 8,50,00,000 apprx

Wednesday - 7,25,00,000 apprx

Thursday - 6,50,00,000 apprx

SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR was rock steady on its first Tuesday as it collected in the same range as Monday with around 8.50 crore nett coming in. The collections were a little higher at some places compared to Monday. This has all come without the discounted Tuesday rates. Hence, the film should continue its steady run on Wednesday.

The total of the film now stands at almost 74 crore nett and the week can come close to 90 crore nett. Basically its a similar figure to RAID 2 but the trend is stronger; so, the film should cross the lifetime business of that film. SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR is a metro film but its cant be called a five city film as the contributions from other A centres cant be called great. But they are better than the those urban hits pre pandemic. Post pandemic there is hardly a comparison as the films catering to metros have not really done well. There is maybe ROCKY AUR RANI KII PREM KAHAANI and SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR's contribution outside metros is better than that film.

The film is going to see a very good hold in week two as the weekend does big numbers but remains to be seen what the drop week on week is as this will determine if the film goes on to become a SUPER HIT film.

The five day numbers of SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR are as follows.

Friday - 10,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 20,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 26,25,00,000 apprx

Monday - 8,50,00,000 apprx

Tuesday - 8,50,00,000 apprx

SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR has seen a fantastic hold on Monday as it collected 8.50 crore dropping only 20% from the first day. The mass appeal of the film is limited which makes this hold better and this ensures the film is a HIT and with good chances to do better. The total collections of the film stand at  65 crore nett after four days and the film will be looking at week 85-90 crore nett.

The film is not going with discounted rates on Tuesday which is a positive sign. At least, the industry is getting this right as its a must if the film is working to at least hold off discounted rates in week one and even week two if numbers remain high enough. Both RAID 2 and now SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR have gone this way. The latter is actually distributed by PVR who initiated this scheme which itself tells the story and not much needs to be said. There is a small segment in the industry thinking films are not doing well because of ticket pricing and this thinking has to go away.

The issue is content and for pricing, its the concessions. The ones who have indulged in feeding, which is most of the industry will know this, as their free tickets were refused by people as they knew a trip would mean heavy concession spends.

Coming back to SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR, its a fantastic trend and now its about where the second Friday lands. Although there is a huge flow of releases, this film can continue to compete with them due to this hold on Monday. The film continues to do excellent business in NCR though western pockets like Mumbai and Pune have dropped more. The film is going to fare better in North than Mumbai circuit.

The four day numbers of SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR are as follows.

Friday - 10,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 20,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 26,25,00,000 apprx

Monday - 8,50,00,000 apprx

SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR has seen a good weekend with excellent collections on Saturday and Sunday as both both got 20 crore nett days with Saturday at 20 crore nett and Sunday going to 25.5-26 crore nett. The Sunday numbers could have been better but they slowed in the evening and night shows but that is there most of the time unless there is a holiday the next day. It hardly makes much difference to the overall picture as Sunday growth still is very good.

The film has put up a weekend of 56 crore nett and is sure to hold on Monday with this trend. A number similar to the first day would be good as then the film will have the potential to do a number which will not only be very good for the content but also justify the presence of a star like Aamir Khan. The Monday numbers should confirm the HIT status of the film.

The Sunday numbers were also good in the mass circuits as Rajasthan picks up over 1 crore nett and a circuit like Gujarat which tends to be less for Aamir Khan starrers has also done well on Saturday and Sunday especially for the zone of the film. They are not huge numbers here but good enough to suggest that the film is a little more than just a five city film. The NCR belt is fantastic and Mysore has seen superb numbers especially on Saturday and Sunday. The film picked up around $3 million overseas with a strong Gulf thous US / Canada should have done better. 

The three numbers of SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR are as follows.

Friday - 10,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 20,00,00,000 apprx

Sunday - 26,00,00,000 apprx

----------------------------------------------------------------

SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR made good ground post the late afternoon shows to get into double digits as it picked up around 10.50 crore nett which is a decent number. The number could have been called good if would not have been an Aamir Khan starrer. The film is also a sequel to the 2007 film TAARE ZAMEEN PAR but that film will hardly hold much value to today. It can be seen with the initial results of this film as only 10 crore nett has come for an Aamir Khan film and that too with a strong pick up.

It is a solid number for the content as it gives a chance for success and the potential to grow over the weekend which it will no doubt. The biggest plus is the film has very limited expectations today as a similar type of film, LAAL SINGH CHADDHA, made on a larger scale but in the same zone did not work at all. If this had released three years back instead of LAAL SINGH CHADDHA, then expectations would have been much higher and this 10 crore nett plus number would have been seen as very poor. Now the industry has generally settled with lower expectations when a film is not likely to reach the mass audience.

The comparables for the film are probably OMG 2 and KESARI CHAPTER 2 as post pandemic, they have a similar audience profile generally catering to the gentry audience. Not only that those two films are also franchise films but also had a star like Akshay Kumar whereas here its Aamir Khan. The difference being that Akshay Kumar has so many releases in a year while Aamir Khan has come after many years. It shows the struggle that the stars have when content has limited reach as pre pandemic, these films would have opened much better.

SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR has set itself up for a good Saturday and Sunday which should ensure a good weekend for the film but it will be about the collections of the film post the weekend and what it can do in the weekdays and after. The film has fared best in the NCR region as the film probably has that region flavour. 

The film collected around $750k in Overseas which could have been better as Aamir Khan has huge value in international markets. Being a gentry film, it should not be hit as hard as India but a market like USA has come out with surprising low collections. It should pick up in Overseas as well. Again, the Aamir Khan name there should have worked better.

-----------------------------------------

SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR has seen an excellent Saturday in the range of 20 crore nett which means almost a doubling up of collections. This sort of growth at these levels has not been seen post pandemic as the positive reports and probably the goodwill factor of Aamir Khan comes into play with the multiplex crowd. The growth is also there in mass circuits and its pretty good numbers also though ratio remains less.

The film is a sureshot success and the advances are super strong for a Sunday as the family crowds in big centers come in numbers. The growth for Sunday is also looking huge at the moment but there is the drop off in evening and night shows to come. Yet, Sunday is sure to be good. The collections in two days are around 30 crore nett and it could be a 55 crore nett weekend, after which its all about the weekdays.

The film has also bought a lot of optimism within the film industry as the film brings in this 20 crore nett number by targeting mainly the gentry crowd. It just gives hope that numbers can still come even if films hold less appeal for the Hindi circuits as the industry really struggles to cater to the mass belts due to lack of talent for that job in terms of writers and directors. But obviously one film is not going to change the scenario. It will need more films of this zone to get results. The overseas numbers also saw a good uptick as the film stands at around $2 million in two days though USA can do better being an Aamir Khan film, that too for the gentry crowd.

The two day numbers of SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR are as follows.

Friday - 10,50,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 20,00,00,000 apprx
