Sitaare Zameen Par is continuing its consistent run at theatres. After bringing online Rs. 3.75 crores on both Monday and Tuesday, the film did see a drop on Wednesday. However, it was still stable enough as around Rs. 3 crores* did come in. That’s fine because the trending will ensure that Thursday has a chance to stay over Rs. 2 crores mark despite new releases arriving.

In fact, there is a lot of challenge that the Aamir Khan starrer is facing from core multiplex movies. Last week it was F1 and this week it’s going to be Metro… In A Dino (which would be straight up competition as it’s exactly for the same set of audiences) and Jurassic World Rebirth (which is set to be the highest collecting film this weekend). Hence, the first challenge would be to actually retain its screens and shows, especially at premium multiplexes of major cities as this is where maximum moolah is coming for it as well.

Currently standing at Rs. 132.78 crores*, this RS Prasanna directed film will now go past the lifetime score of Aamir Khan’s last Rs. 100 Crore Club film Thugs of Hindostan (Rs. 151.19 crores) in the coming week. That movie was a straight up commercial film though and had actually taken a record start for a Bollywood film back in time, only to fold up rather quickly too. On the other hand, it has been an opposite trajectory for mid-budgeted Sitaare Zameen Par which has grown entirely on the basis of word of mouth, hence emerging as a hit.
