Day 1 box office receipts for Sitaare Zameen Par: Despite having no competition, Sitaare Zameen Par had a dismal start at the box office.

Sitaare Zameen Par box office collection, first day:

With his most recent film, Sitaare Zameen Par, Aamir Khan is making a comeback to the big screen. Although the film’s directors have made a combined trouble to promote it on social media, it appears that the outgrowth has fallen short of Aamir’s prospects. According to assiduity shamus Sacnilk, the movie generated just Rs 11.5 crore on its first day of release, despite having over 9500 showings and little competition in theatres.

Sitaare Zameen Par has been promoted by Aamir, who has been reminding viewers that this may be their only opportunity to see the movie in the near future because they won’t be able to see it on a streaming service in a few weeks. This was his attempt to promote the theatre industry because he feels that the 8-week timeframe that OTT platforms adhere to has severely hurt the movie industry’s revenue model since the epidemic. Given the film’s lacklustre reviews and even the opening day, it remains to be seen if his wager will be successful.His collections didn’t quite meet his expectations. Despite early box office predictions suggesting the film would earn under Rs 10 crore on its opening day, the ‘spiritual successor’ to 2007’s Taare Zameen Par has actually done better than anticipated.”The morning and afternoon shows scored about 16% occupancy, but the evening and night shows did marginally better with 20.21% and 32.50% occupancy, respectively, resulting in an average occupancy rate of 21.34% for all Hindi shows. The average occupancy of the film was only about 12 persons in each cinema, according to an advance booking report by Sacnilk that included the total number of screenings scheduled and tickets sold.Aamir’s previous movie, Laal Singh Chaddha (2022), had a comparable number of showings on its first day and made about Rs 11.7 crore, but it was a box office failure. Over its run, the movie earned Rs 61.36 crore. Nearly eighteen years earlier, Taare Zameen Par, which was similarly advertised, earned Rs 63 crore during its run.While both Sitaare Zameen Par and Laal Singh Chaddha are remakes, there’s a clear difference—Sitaare Zameen Par was made on a much smaller budget. This time around, Aamir Khan is the sole star presence, carrying most of the weight on his shoulders. With big OTT deals falling through and a growing push to bring audiences back to theatres, Aamir and his team are counting on this weekend to deliver better results than the last few.
