After "hitting it out of the park" in its opening weekend, Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par earned an estimated Rs 8.5 crore on its first Monday (all languages), according to industry tracker Sacnilk. The movie earned Rs 57.30 crore in its opening weekend at the domestic box office.
The comic drama highlighting mental health issues made Rs 10.7 crore on Friday, Rs 19.90 crore on Saturday and Rs 26.70 crore on Sunday, as per trade analyst Taran Adarsh.
Directed by RS Prasanna, the movie recorded a 19.15% Hindi occupancy on Monday. Delhi led the occupancy rates, especially in the National Capital Region (NCR). The movie saw low occupancy in morning shows, which gradually improved through the day. Its estimated earnings of under Rs 10 crore on Monday came as a result of the typical weekday drop.
