After a slow start at the box office, Sitare Zameen Par has now started its test week. Will Aamir repeat his old magic?

Aamir Khan’s ‘Stars on Earth’ Soars to 66 Crore in its Opening Weekend!

A Stellar Debut- ‘Stars on Earth’, Aamir Khan’s highly anticipated film, opened to massive success, raking in over 66 crore rupees in its first weekend alone. The film’s impressive opening day collection of 11.7 crore, followed by 21.50 crore on day two, and a phenomenal 29 crore on day three, created quite the buzz. This incredible start has set the stage for what could be a blockbuster run.

Monday’s Test: A Slight Dip- Monday, often called the ‘Monday Test’, is crucial for determining a film’s long-term success. While the weekend numbers were impressive, Monday saw a dip in collections, with just 8.50 crore rupees earned. Despite positive reviews and strong word-of-mouth, this slowdown is a cause for some concern, raising questions about the film’s sustained momentum.

Clash of the Titans: ‘Maa’ Enters the Arena- This week sees the release of Kajol’s film ‘Maa’. However, the buzz surrounding ‘Maa’ is relatively muted compared to ‘Stars on Earth’. Trade analysts are hopeful that Aamir Khan’s film will see a resurgence in weekend collections. Given the flop of Aamir’s previous film, ‘Lal Singh Chaddha’, this new film’s success is being closely watched.

Emotional Connection and a Fresh Narrative- Often referred to as a spiritual sequel to Aamir’s 2007 hit ‘Taare Zameen Par’, this new film offers a fresh perspective. While the original focused on a dyslexic child, ‘Stars on Earth’ centers around Gulshan Arora, a basketball coach suspended after an incident. He then gets assigned to train a team of differently-abled athletes. The story is a powerful blend of emotion, struggle, and the spirit of sports, aiming to create a strong connection with the audience.

Aamir’s Calculated Comeback Strategy- Following the disappointment of ‘Lal Singh Chaddha’, Aamir Khan adopted a strategic, low-risk approach for this film’s promotion. Focusing on interviews, positive stories, and word-of-mouth marketing, he avoided any controversy. Trade experts believe this measured strategy could ensure the film’s longevity in theaters.
