The film is scheduled to premiere on the YouTube channel ‘Aamir Khan Talkies’ on August 1. Viewers will be required to pay Rs 100 to watch the movie. The release will extend beyond India, with availability in the USA, Canada, the UK, Australia, Germany, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Spain, with localized pricing. The film will also offer dubbed and subbed versions.

Explaining the decision, Aamir Khan shared, “For the past 15 years, I have been struggling with the challenge of how to reach audiences who do not have geographical access to theatres, or those who are unable to make it to theatres for various reasons. Finally, the time for the perfect storm has come… With our government bringing in UPI and India becoming no 1 in the world in electronic payments, with internet penetration in India having grown dramatically and growing every day, and with YouTube being on most devices, we can finally reach vast sections of people in India, and a significant part of the world.”

He added, “My dream is that Cinema should reach everyone at a reasonable and affordable price. I want people to have the ease of watching Cinema when they want, where they want. If this idea works, Creative voices can tell different stories, breaking geographical and other barriers. This will also be a great opportunity for younger creative people entering the field of Cinema. If this idea works, then I see this as a win-win for all.”

‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ features Genelia D’souza in a lead role, alongside Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishnan Varma, Vedant Sharmaa, Naman Misra, Rishi Shahani, Ashish Pendse, Samvit Desai, Simran Mangeshkar, Aayush Bhansali, Dolly Ahluwalia, Gurpal Singh, Brijendra Kala, Zeenat Hussain and Nikhat Khan in important roles.

The film has received positive initial responses, despite a moderate level of advance bookings. Day one box office predictions estimate a collection of Rs 9–10 crore, with evening and night shows potentially pushing the total past Rs 10 crore.

Trade analysts anticipate a robust weekend performance, with potential earnings of Rs 40–45 crore in the first three days if the current trend continues.

Notably, Aamir Khan reportedly declined a Rs 120 crore offer from Amazon Prime Video for the film’s OTT rights. The success of Sitaare Zameen Par in theaters is crucial, as failure to attract sufficient footfalls could result in a substantial financial loss for Khan.

Khan’s previous film, Laal Singh Chaddha, earned Rs 58.73 crore in its entire theatrical run.

According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the film’s advance booking for Day 1 reached just Rs 1 crore by Thursday morning, a mere 24 hours before its theatrical debut. This figure is notably lower than Aamir’s previous film, ‘Laal Singh Chaddha,’ which amassed Rs 5.52 crore in advance bookings, despite its own underwhelming performance.

The film recently faced a setback when the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) requested two cuts, which Aamir initially resisted, citing creative integrity. However, the film was eventually cleared by the CBFC. Industry observers suggest that the delayed CBFC certification led to the late opening of bookings, which began late Tuesday night.

‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ is lagging behind other 2025 films like ‘Jaat’ (Rs 2.37 crore in advance bookings) and ‘Kesari Chapter 2’ (Rs 1.84 crore). While it might surpass these titles with a last-minute surge, it’s unlikely to match the advance numbers of Salman Khan’s ‘Sikandar’ (Rs 10.09 crore) or Akshay Kumar’s ‘Housefull 5’ (Rs 8.02 crore).

Film trade analyst Atul Mohan remains optimistic, noting that Aamir Khan’s films, excluding ‘Thugs of Hindostan’ and ‘Dhoom 3,’ often start slowly and build momentum through word-of-mouth. He believes ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ can still perform well if it generates positive buzz.

Aamir also declined a substantial Rs 120 crore offer from Amazon Prime Video for the film’s OTT rights. If the film doesn’t attract a large audience in theaters, Aamir could face a financial loss of Rs 120 crore.

Directed by RS Prasanna, the film stars Genelia D’Souza and introduces ten newcomers playing specially abled characters. It is a remake of the Spanish film ‘Campeones.’

Reportedly, the suggested edits include replacing ‘Business Woman’ with ‘Business Person,’ altering ‘Michael Jackson’ to ‘Lovebirds,’ removing the word ‘Kamal’ (lotus) from a scene, deleting the original disclaimer and adding a new one with a voiceover, and incorporating a quote from Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the disclaimer.

The film stars Genelia D’Souza and introduces ten new actors portraying specially abled characters. It is a remake of the Spanish film ‘Campeones.’ The movie is scheduled to release this Friday, June 20th. Advance bookings show a slow start at the box office, with the film struggling to gain traction compared to Aamir’s previous release, ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’.

In the video, Shah Rukh Khan is seen interacting with the cast, who are visibly delighted by his presence. Shah Rukh revealed that Aamir had been persistently requesting his visit. He shared, “Aamir has told me at least 10 times. He said, ‘Come and meet the actors. They are doing so well. I didn’t get time earlier but every day I meet him, whenever I am meeting him, he is calling me also, saying, ‘Please come. Please come.’ Even 3 days ago, he told me, ‘Shah, tu ana yaar (Come no, please)!’”

Shah Rukh is seen engaging with each cast member, inquiring about their experiences, and happily posing for photographs. Young actors expressed their admiration for his films, mentioning ‘Chak De! India’ and ‘Don,’ with the atmosphere reaching a crescendo when Shah Rukh recreated his iconic arms-wide-open pose, drawing cheers from everyone.

Directed by RS Prasanna, ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ is slated for a June 20 theatrical release. The film also stars Genelia D’Souza and is a remake of the Spanish film ‘Campeones’. The film recently faced a challenge when the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) requested two cuts, which Aamir initially resisted to protect the film’s creative integrity. However, the film has now been officially cleared by the CBFC.
