Sitaare Zameen Par Earns ₹50 Crore Worldwide Within Two Days

The film 'Sitaare Zameen Par', starring Aamir Khan and directed by R.S. Prasanna, has made a significant impact at the global box office, earning Rs 50 crore within two days of its release. Serving as a spiritual sequel to the 2007 hit 'Taare Zameen Par', it tells the story of a basketball coach training a team of differently-abled individuals, featuring ten neurodivergent actors to authentically represent a broad spectrum of neurodiversity. The film has received praise for its empathetic and humorous portrayal of neurodivergence, with notable appreciation from Darsheel Safary, the lead actor of the original 'Taare Zameen Par', who highlighted its emotional depth and theatrical exclusivity. Aamir Khan's production notably rejected streaming offers to keep the film exclusively in theaters, a move applauded by the Multiplex Association of India, reflecting a commitment to the theatrical experience amid current digital trends. Despite a slightly modest opening day earning of ₹11.5 crore, the film benefits from positive word-of-mouth and is expected to grow commercially over the weekend. Overall, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' stands out for its respectful representation, emotional resonance, and its challenge to conventional release strategies in the Indian film industry.
