‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ has now released in theatres on June 20, Friday. The film has been highly anticipated. Though it is not exactly a sequel to ‘Taare Zameen Par’, it is like a franchise movie which also deals with kids and brings across a special message. The early reviews of the film are encouraging and it may lead to growth in the box office numbers over the weekend. But on Day 1, the opening day number was clearly not expected to be huge, like Aamir’s other movies like ‘Dangal’.Sitaare Zameen Par Movie ReviewThis clearly is a word of mouth movie and not those big mass blockbusters. Thus, as per trade analysts a single digit number is expected from the movie on day 1. According to Sacnilk, till Friday afternoon, the film has collected Rs 3.89 crore. The number can be expected to increase during the night shows. The film may end up having a Day 1 number of Rs 7.5 or 8 crore.Trade expert Taran Adarsh told ETimes, “This is a word of mouth film. This is not a Dhoom or ‘Ghajini’ that will open with a bang. Now, as I said, it all depends on the public reports. I think Rs 7.5 to 8 crore is what we are looking at.”‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ is expected to do better in multiplexes and in big cities as opposed to the two-tier, three tier centres where ‘Housefull 5’ may still dominate. But it all depends on positive word of mouth, which may eventually lead to more numbers over the weekend. Film trade expert Girish Wankhede, told Etimes, “At this moment, I can say that this film would not do more than 30-35 crores in the weekend.” Day wise collection of ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ Day 1 [1st Friday till afternoon] ₹ 3.89 Cr ** –Total ₹ 3.89 Cr
