Sitaare Zameen Par Impresses Mahesh Babu and Viewers Alike

Mahesh Babu took to his X (formerly Twitter) account and shared his thoughts. He wrote, “Sitaare Zameen Par shines so bright and how! It’ll make you laugh, cry, and clap! Like all Aamir Khan classics, you’ll walk out with a big smile on your face. Love and respect to the entire team.” His timely appreciation boosted the film’s growing momentum in theatres.

The filmmakers designed Sitaare Zameen Par as a spiritual follow-up to Aamir’s 2007 emotional drama Taare Zameen Par. While the earlier film focused on a dyslexic child, the new story explores second chances and learning from unexpected sources.

Aamir Khan plays a coach who receives a court order to train a team of neurodivergent adults. What starts as a punishment soon transforms into a powerful journey filled with laughter, growth, and emotional moments.

The producers created the film with a budget of around Rs 90 crore and launched it on 3,500 screens in India and 4,200 screens worldwide. Within the first three days, the film earned nearly Rs 60 crore. On Sunday, audiences responded with high attendance, pushing up collections significantly. Trade experts estimate that the film must reach Rs 100 crore to break even, and current trends point toward that goal.
