Actor Aamir Khan has made its comeback to the big screen with Sitaare Zameen Par after a hiatus of three years. His last release was in 2022, where Laal Singh Chadha failed miserably at the box office and among the critics, leading the actor to doubt whether he should make films or not. Nevertheless, he returned with the spiritual successor of his 2008 film Taare Zameen Par. The film was released yesterday, 20th June and the box office reports for its Day 1 are out.

Sitaare Zameen Par box office collection day 1

According to trade analyst Taran Aadarsh, Aamir Khan's latest sports drama has managed to cross the Rs 10 crore mark on its first day 1. It closed day one with earnings of Rs 10.7 crore at the domestic box office. Taran noted, "As expected, the opening day began on a slow note, but witnessed a sharp turnaround post 4 pm… In fact, the evening and night shows completely changed the tide – solid word of mouth had come into play."

Proving ALL pre-release projections and predictions wrong by a wide margin, #SitaareZameenPar opened in double digits on Day 1… The power of strong word of mouth has silenced the naysayers.

Sure, the Day 1 total may not match the *pre-pandemic era* openings of an #AamirKhan… pic.twitter.com/sz7dhyORkP
