Bollywood’s Mr. Perfectionist, Aamir Khan, is back with a new mega project. Sitaare Zameen Par has taken the box office by storm on its opening day. A spiritual sequel to the 2007 film Taare Zameen Par, this movie is an official remake of the Spanish film Campeones (2018). On its first day, the film earned approximately ₹11-12 crore net across India, placing it among the top five opening day collections of 2025.
Day 1 Collection: Trade vs. Producer Figures
Trade reports suggest the film collected ₹11 crore net on its opening day, while producers claim the figure stands between ₹11-12 crore. In 2022, Aamir’s Laal Singh Chaddha opened at ₹11.5 crore but later underperformed. However, Sitaare Zameen Par has already received positive reviews, which could strengthen its box office run.
