Sitaare Zameen Par’s Box Office Triumph Proves Urban Films Still Thrive After Jawan, Animal, Say Trade Experts
5 months ago | 5 Views
The box office performance of Sitaare Zameen Par appears to be adhering to the typical pattern of Aamir Khan movies: a sluggish start followed by a meteoric rise. The movie debuted with somewhat underwhelming figures, earning ₹10.70 crore on its first day. By the third day, the movie had surpassed ₹60 crore. In spite of a Monday drop, Sitaare Zameen Par has generated enough goodwill and momentum for a long and successful run. Additionally, trade analysts refer to it as a resurgence of "urban multiplex films" and a "massive win" for its leading actor and producer, Aamir Khan.
In its first four days, Sitaare Zameen Par has made ₹66.50 crore at the Indian box office. The worldwide box office take for its debut weekend was a respectable ₹96 crore. Everything points to the fact that Aamir Khan seems to have overcome his dry spell at the box office. It was almost a decade ago that he had his last hit, in 2016. Since then, audiences have not been drawn to cinemas by the films Thugs of Hindostan (2018) and Laal Singh Chaddha (2022).
"Aamir Khan wins a big victory"
The movie's popularity is seen by trade professionals as a resurgence for the celebrity. "Aamir Khan wins big. His sincerity has earned him the audience's respect for making a brave choice. The movie is a little gem; it's fantastic, full of fun and amusement, but it also has a powerful social message. "The movie will be in theaters for a long time," stated PTI, citing Kamal Gianchandani, the head of Business Planning & Strategy at PVR INOX Ltd and the CEO of PVR INOX Pictures Ltd. The official distributor of Sitaare Zameen Par, which is based on the well-known Spanish film Campeones, is PVR INOX Pictures.

In addition, trade insiders claim that word of mouth has been so good that Monday's theater attendance for Sitaare may be higher than Friday's, which is not typical.
"Even more remarkable is that weekday box-office numbers are just slightly behind the weekend, and we anticipate that Monday foot traffic will be higher than Friday's. Devang Sampat, CEO of Cinepolis, stated in a statement, "This unique route in the film industry demonstrates a profound and lasting emotional connection with audiences, propelling the picture into genuinely unexplored territory, not simply commercial success."
‘Everyone gave up on urban multiplex films’
The film's box office success represents the resurgence of urban multiplex cinema, according to Akshay Rathi, a distributor and exhibitor. "The picture has risen like a phoenix from day one to three. Post the pandemic, massy big films like Pathaan, Jawan, Animal, and Gadar 2 worked, and everyone wrote off urban multiplex films, but Sitaare Zameen Par marks the return of urban multiplex hits. Urban and multiplex audiences make up the bulk of the film's core business. According to him, the film is here to stay, and it should generate revenue of 200 crores throughout its run.
The movie's endurance has been supported by several people in the industry, considering how it has overcome its initial negative reception and spread through word-of-mouth.
