Box Office: 'Sitaare Zameen Par' Opening Day Early Estimates

Mumbai, June 20 - Superstar Aamir Khan's comedy drama Sitaare Zameen Par has taken a decent start at the domestic box office. The film picked up well towards the evening and night shows, and managed to cross the double-digit mark by a decent margin.

According to early estimates, SZP has scored in the range of 11-12 crores net collection. It was also released in Telugu and Tamil, in which, it has earned around 15-20 lakh collection. The trade was expecting an 8-9 crores opening, so considering that, it is a decent start.



The opening of Sitaare Zameen Par is almost in the same range as Aamir's last film, Laal Singh Chaddha, which scored around 11.75 crores net in all versions. Another similarity between both films is that their genre are the same, and both performed best in urban centres.

The audience word of mouth for SZP is on the positive side, and the advances for the weekend are much better, which indicates solid growth on Saturday and Sunday. Although it needs to be seen how big the growth will be, the movie will be aiming for 40-45 crores net weekend.
