‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ Day 4 Box Office: Aamir Khan’s Film Crosses ₹66 Crore Despite Monday Dip
Aamir Khan’s latest film ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ enjoyed a stellar opening weekend, but the weekday test has begun – and Monday has brought a noticeable dip in numbers. Despite this, the film has managed to cross the ₹66 crore mark in just four days.
Weekend Highs, Weekday Challenges
Over the weekend, ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ recorded strong growth, nearly tripling its earnings from Friday to Sunday, riding on buzz, multiplex footfalls, and positive word-of-mouth. However, as expected, Monday (Day 4) showed a decline, a pattern typical of even the most successful Bollywood films. IMD Rating 7.3/10
Day-Wise Collection Breakdown:
- Day 1 (Friday): ₹14.40 crore
- Day 2 (Saturday): ₹16.50 crore
- Day 3 (Sunday): ₹27.25 crore
- Day 4 (Monday): ₹8.50 crore
- 🔢 Total Collection (India): ₹66.65 crore
The drop from Sunday to Monday stands at 68.81%, which is steep but not unusual. Monday earnings often reflect a truer test of a film’s staying power beyond the initial hype.
Occupancy Report – Day 4
Occupancy dropped significantly on Monday, with an overall average of 19.15%. However, evening and night shows performed relatively better, suggesting continued interest among working professionals and students post work/school hours.
Hindi version occupancy (June 23):
- Morning Shows: 8.73%
- Afternoon Shows: 17.24%
- Evening Shows: 23.20%
- Night Shows: 27.42%
City-Wise Performance
The film continues to do well in Delhi NCR and Mumbai, which together saw the highest number of screenings. Other cities such as Pune, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad also showed decent traction. However, Kolkata and Ahmedabad reported underwhelming turnout, indicating a dip in regional pull.
What About Global Numbers?
While the worldwide Day 4 collection is yet to be released, the domestic performance alone is impressive enough for the film to be considered a strong contender at the box office.
Industry Insight
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh praised the film’s weekend run, highlighting its appeal to urban audiences and high-end multiplex-goers. He noted how the movie benefitted from strong word-of-mouth and solid growth over its first three days.
“The day-on-day growth in business has been phenomenal… All eyes are now on the weekday trends. The crucial Monday will play a decisive role in determining the film’s long-term trajectory,” Adarsh tweeted.
‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ may have seen a Monday slowdown, but its ₹66.65 crore four-day total is a solid start. With continued support from urban centers and positive audience feedback, the film still has the potential to shine bright in the days to come. The next few weekdays will be crucial in determining its long-term success.
