Sitaare Zameen Par Review & Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Collection Day 1


By Aamna Aamna, The much-awaited comeback of Aamir Khan to the big screen with the latest film Sitaare Zameen Par has provided mixed reports not only in terms of Sitaare Zameen Par review scores but also in the Sitaare Zameen Par box office collection reports. Although the Sitaare Zameen Par review ratings have accorded the film a favorable rating of 3.5 stars by critics, the first day Sitaare Zameen Par box office collection is a humble beginning to the comeback film by the superstar.

Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Collection

The current Sitaare Zameen Par box office collection India net total is near to Rs 0.65 crore on Day 1, and the opening has been a modest affair as far as director R.S. Prasanna is concerned in his emotional entertainer. Such a low first-day box office figure of Sitaare Zameen Par compared to the industry expectation, that is, the industry is highly disappointed with such a negative number of opening day and in comparison to the previous release of Aamir Khan, Laal Singh Chaddha, which is having an opening day box office collection of 11.70 crores.

Trade analysts who had tracked the Sitaare Zameen Par box office collection trend said advance bookings fetched Rs 6.88 crore, and more than 1.15 lakh tickets were sold at 9,542 shows all over the country. The Sitaare Zameen Par box office collection report shows that the Hindi version claimed the most money, collecting Rs 3.18 crore out of 9,037 shows, whereas the regional versions earned a minimal part of the total Sitaare Zameen Par box office collection.

Sitaare Zameen Par Review Scores vs Commercial Performance

Although critics awarded Sitaare Zameen Par with fair rating, which said that the film was moving and depicted the specially-abled characters, the box office collection record of Sitaare Zameen Par shows that the audience might not have been so impressed. All the big Sitaare Zameen Par reviews talked about the good second half of the film and how Aamir Khan has regained his entry into serious cinema, but that good Sitaare Zameen Par review mood is not reflecting yet in the way Sitaare Zameen Par’s box office collection is progressing.

The mismatch between the positive reviews of Sitaare Zameen Par and its mediocre box office performance indicates that content-oriented movies do not need to record-breaking first-day collections to succeed, but rather rely on word-of-mouth promotions. According to the industry experts, due to the positive Sitaare Zameen Par review trend, the Sitaare Zameen Par box office collection would travel upwards during the weekend.

Regional Performance in Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Collection

The multi-release strategy of the language is questionable because early Sitaare Zameen Par box office collection reports are mixed. The above is the box office collection of Sitaare Zameen Par in just one of the versions of Sitaare Zameen Par, that is the Hindi version which also witnessed impressive ticket sales than the other versions of Sitaare Zameen Parat the Sitaare Zameen Par box office collection, the Tamil version accounted for Rs 2.73 lakh out of 163 shows, the Telugu version brought in Rs 9.84 lakh from 342 shows to the overall Sitaare Zameen Par box office collection.


This regional Sitaare Zameen Par box office collection distribution suggests that Khan’s brand value is the strongest in Hindi-speaking markets, although the reception in regional markets to the Sitaare Zameen Par review may have a bearing on the Sitaare Zameen Par box office collection in each city, as weekend collection patterns become clearer.

From Deewana to the success of Pathaan: the global impact of Bollywood’s enduring king, Shah Rukh Khan

In the ever-evolving landscape of Indian cinema, where movie stars rise and fall, one name has remained etched in the hearts of millions for more than three decades – Shah Rukh Khan, also known as “SRK”.

Fondly known as the King of Bollywood, Khan’s cinematic influence on Indian cinema is a story that transcends borders and generations.

As people celebrate his remarkable return to the silver screen in 2023 after a four-year hiatus, marked by the resounding global success of Pathaan, it’s the perfect time to embark on a journey through his illustrious career.

Here, I explore the timeless Indian classics that catapulted him to stardom and look at the excitement surrounding his latest release, Jawan (in cinemas now), and the highly awaited Dunki.

So, for those who may not be familiar, what is Bollywood?

Bollywood, India’s cinematic powerhouse based in Mumbai, is where the majority of Hindi-language films are made. It’s like India’s own Hollywood.

But Indian cinema isn’t just about Bollywood. Regional film production centres across India like Kollywood (the Tamil film industry) and Tollywood (Telugu film industry) add their unique colours. India is now the global leader in film outputs, with an astonishing 1,500 to 2,000 films released each year in more than 20 different languages.

And the 57-year-old King Khan has been a pillar of Bollywood ever since he broke through with the 1992 film Deewana.

SRK’s cinematic influence on Indian cinema

To truly grasp SRK’s impact on Indian cinema, let’s rewind to the 1990s – a golden era of Bollywood brimming with iconic Indian films and unforgettable performances.

During this time, a young man without any industry connections in a world built on family ties was about to shape the future of Indian cinema.

In 1995, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge hit the screens. Directed by the legendary Aditya Chopra, this film told a captivating love story transcending all boundaries.

SRK’s portrayal of Raj wasn’t just a character, it was emotion.

With its enchanting music and a storyline that captured the essence of young love and tradition, the film became a sensation within and beyond India, uninterruptedly running for more than two decades (it’s still running today!) in Mumbai’s Maratha Mandir theatre.

Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’s staggering success made SRK a star, or perhaps it was the other way around: SRK made DDLJ.

His later films like Dil Se (1998), Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998) and others solidified his status as the king of romance. These timeless classics not only tugged at heartstrings, but also paved the path for his incredible cinematic journey.

In the 2000s, he continued to shine with family and romantic hits like Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham (2001) and Kal Ho Na Ho (2003). He experimented with versatile roles in films like Swades (2004) and Chak De India (2007), while venturing into film production with his own Red Chillies Entertainment Limited.

As the years rolled on, SRK represented Indian cinema globally with films such as Jab Tak Hai Jaan (2012) and Chennai Express (2013). However, he faced a challenging period in the late 2010s when his films Jab Harry Met Sejal (2017) and Zero (2018) failed miserably at the box office, leading many to wonder if his time had passed.

The return of the king

Jump to 2023. After a four-year hiatus from the big screen, the king returned with three promised films in one year, and audiences worldwide eagerly awaited to see if his magic still held sway.

Pathaan, with its phenomenal dance, didn’t just meet expectations – it smashed them. It broke box office records and earned global acclaim, showcasing SRK’s unparalleled star power.

This action thriller has become India’s highest-grossing Hindi film ever, and the first Bollywood film to earn more than US$100 million (A$155 million) without a release in China.

Pathaan’s success was a testament to the love fans hold for SRK, reaffirming his charisma as irresistible as ever.

Anticipation for Jawan and Dunki

Jawan, which premiered in Australia on Sept. 7, became the first Indian film ever to claim the top spot in both the Australian and neighbouring New Zealand box offices on its first day. Trailers for the film amassed millions of views, and fans dissected every snippet, making the buzz around it electrifying.

And then there is Dunki, directed by the acclaimed Indian director Rajkumar Hirani (whose 2009 film 3 Idiots happens to be my personal favourite). The mere announcement of this collaboration sent ripples through the industry.

Love beyond borders

Beyond the box office figures and his countless film awards, SRK’s films carry a profound cultural significance. They often delve into deeper social and emotional themes, resonating not just with Indian audiences, but worldwide.

Dear Zindagi (2016) explores mental health and personal growth, breaking stereotypes about therapy and self-discovery.

My Name Is Khan (2010) addresses the complexities of racial profiling and discrimination in the post-9/11 world. Its iconic line “My Name is Khan, but I am not a terrorist” transcended national borders and touched hearts across the globe.

In Swades (2004), SRK’s heartfelt portrayal of a NASA scientist’s return to his homeland mirrors the Indian diaspora’s yearning for roots and ignited a dialogue on the duty of reconnecting with one’s homeland.

Calling himself a dream seller who peddles love to millions of people in his 2017 TED talk, Khan’s influence is proof to the enduring power of storytelling, and the ability of cinema to connect people across cultures.

He is one of Time’s 100 most influential people of 2023. His fans even set a Guinness World Record for the most people performing his iconic pose.

Many have labelled SRK’s 2023 as a comeback, but the superstar himself seems not to believe in this notion. Quoting a line from the Hollywood film Gattaca (1997), SRK tweeted, “I never saved anything for the swim back”.

As fans eagerly flock to see Jawan and await Dunki, it’s a reminder he continues to “move forward” and redefine what it means to be a superstar, not just in Bollywood, but on the globe stage. He shows us the magic of cinema knows no boundaries, and neither does the allure of Bollywood’s king.The Conversation

Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif are back again, looking electrifying together and dancing their hearts out in Leke Prabhu ka naam from the forthcoming Diwali release, Tiger 3.

Salman and Katrina have reprised their iconic characters, super-agents, Tiger and Zoya, from the YRF Spy Universe and the two superstars last danced together in Swag se swagat from Tiger Zinda Hai in 2017. This time, they show off more of their incredible chemistry and look drop-dead gorgeous in the dance track composed by Pritam, written by Amitabh Bhattacharya and sung by Arijit Singh and Nikhita Gandhi. The Tamil and Telugu versions have been rendered by Benny Dayal and Anusha Mani.

Leke Prabhu ka naam has been shot on an extremely grand-scale in the exotic locations in Cappadocia, Turkey. Choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant, who had directed Swag se swagat, is back to make the couple dance again on this one.

Director Maneesh Sharma says, “Katrina’s ethereal beauty and the chemistry between the two make it the perfect formula to have everyone dancing! We had a lot of fun filming in Cappadocia and this will be another huge dance chartbuster to add to the already enviable list of successes that Salman and Katrina have had together.”

Salman and Katrina are already thrilled with the unanimously positive response to the trailer and the love people are showering on them. One of our most popular on-screen couples, their most popular outing is the Tiger franchise.

Salman says, “I think what we are witnessing today as a response to the Tiger 3 trailer is simply outstanding. I have been fortunate to have films that have given me a lot of love. But to get this volume of appreciation and to see this amount of frenzy after a trailer launch is truly special and a rare feeling.”

He added, “I’m happy that our trailer has hit all the right notes. I’m also really touched by how people have reacted to seeing Katrina and me back as Zoya and Tiger. I’m aware that these two super-agents hold a special place in the hearts of the audience and I’m glad that we have lived up to their expectations. I think people will be very happy seeing both of us in action, taking on our enemies shoulder to shoulder.”

Katrina stated, “It is incredible to see the reaction that the trailer of Tiger 3 has got! It is simply phenomenal to have all this love come our way because the entire team has given their all to make our film an action spectacle. This is the third film of the franchise and I’m well aware of the massive expectations that people have from us. I’m happy that the trailer is getting unanimous love.”

She added, “Tiger and Zoya are two pieces of the same puzzle. They are charismatic and daredevil when they work together as a unit and I’m thrilled to see how people are excited to see these two spies back in action, saving the day. If people have loved the trailer so much, I can confidently say that they will be blown away with what the film has to offer!”Emraan Hashmi plays the antagonist in the film.Salman-Katrina rock in Tiger 3 song Leke Prabhu ka naam
