'Sitaare Zameen Par' box office collection day 2 (LIVE): The Aamir Khan starrer expected to see growth on Saturday with word of mouth, after collecting 10.7 crore on opening day

Aamir Khan's 'Sitaare Zameen Par' released in theatres on June 20 after much anticipation. The film had a decent opening on the first day. It wasn't expected to open like Aamir's other movies like 'Dangal' or 'Ghajini' as it was meant for a niche audience and it clearly was a word of mouth movie, expected to grow slowly if public reviews were positive.

Sitaare Zameen Par Movie Review

On day 1, it earned Rs 10.7 crore at the box office, according to Sacnilk. This total came from the Hindi, Tamil and Telugu version. Of course, the number largely is from the Hindi version of the movie. On day 2 also, the movie has begun on a decent note. It made Rs 6.53 crore till Saturday afternoon. The total collection of the film so far is Rs 17.23 crore. One hopes to see growth on day 2 as the public reviews are positive largely. Meanwhile, the holiday on Sunday may further lead to more footfalls in cinemas in the night shows.

According to Box Office India, the day 1 number was also due to various discounted offers on delivery apps and group bookings from schools. Thus, it pushed the collections. Furthermore, an Aamir movie is expected to do better in National chains like PVR INOX as opposed to two or three tier cities and single screens. For mass dominated centres, still 'Housefull 5' may dominate, unless, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' grows exceptionally through public opinion and demand.
