Interestingly, Sitaare Zameen Par is also an official remake of the Spanish film Campeones (2018). Its opening is comparable to Aamir’s last film, Laal Singh Chaddha, which opened at Rs 11.5 crores in 2022 but failed to sustain momentum. In contrast, Sitaare Zameen Par has not only garnered better reviews but is also benefiting from nostalgia and emotional resonance.

In terms of 2025 rankings, the movie has secured the 6th highest opening for a Hindi film this year, just behind Sky Force and ahead of Jaat. The current top opener remains Chhaava with Rs 29 crores, followed by Sikandar (Rs 25 crores) and Housefull 5 (Rs21 crores).

Made on a budget of Rs 90 crores, Sitaare Zameen Par needs to cross the Rs 100 crore mark to be declared a hit. Its release on over 3,200 screens across India — a massive leap from the originally planned 1,200 screens — has given it the wide reach needed to meet that target.
