Hold onto your popcorn, Bollywood fanatics! There’s a new masala-filled saga unfolding at the box office, and it’s got everyone buzzing. Aamir Khan’s latest cinematic gem, Sitaare Zameen Par, which hit the screens on June 20, 2025, is truly shining bright. After just 18 days, this heartwarming drama is twinkling its way toward a super-hit status, proving that Mr. Perfectionist still knows how to captivate our hearts and minds!
This film isn’t just a sequel; it’s a legacy in the making! While its predecessor, the iconic Taare Zameen Par, charmed audiences worldwide with a ₹98.48 crore collection back in 2007 (making it the highest-grossing film of that year!), Sitaare Zameen Par has already soared past that mark in a mere 18 days. Talk about setting a new benchmark! On its 17th day alone, the film raked in a cool ₹6.26 crore, pushing its total 18-day domestic net collection to an impressive ₹148.95 crore. And here’s a little secret for all you binge-watchers: Aamir Khan has decided against an OTT release for this one! Instead, it’s heading straight to YouTube after its theatrical run, where you can watch it for a nominal fee. How’s that for a unique treat?
The film’s global footprint is just as dazzling! According to media reports, Sitaare Zameen Par has already amassed a whopping ₹227 crore in its worldwide box office collection by its 18th day. Just imagine the numbers! This dhamaka started strong, crossing ₹214 crore in 15 days and ₹217 crore by day 16, showing no signs of slowing down. It’s a testament to the film’s universal appeal and the magic touch of its lead star.

And let’s be honest, we all remember the lukewarm response to Aamir’s previous venture, Laal Singh Chaddha, which managed ₹58.70 crore in 18 days and a worldwide total of approximately ₹129.64 crore. But with Sitaare Zameen Par, Aamir has not only redeemed himself but has also outshone his own past records! This film has even surpassed the domestic net collection of his 2018 action-adventure, Thugs of Hindostan, which stood at ₹142.70 crore. It truly feels like a triumphant comeback for the star. We knew he had it in him, didn’t we?
So, what does it take to be a superhit in Bollywood? Sources suggest that Sitaare Zameen Par was made on a budget of around ₹80 crore. For a film with that kind of investment, it needs to collect roughly two to three times its budget to be crowned a superhit. This means a worldwide gross collection somewhere between ₹200 crore and ₹240 crore. Since it has already crossed the ₹100 crore mark in India, it’s already a certified hit! To be a superhit, it needs to hit ₹160 crore in net collections domestically, and it’s so close! While reaching the blockbuster status, which would require a staggering ₹270 crore to ₹280 crore in India (think Aamir’s own Dangal, which grossed nearly ₹380 crore!), might be a tall order, one thing’s for sure: Sitaare Zameen Par is definitely set to be a superhit. It’s safe to say this film has etched its name in the stars!
