There was huge growth on Saturday for Sitaare Zameen Par as Rs. 19.90 crores came in. This was on the cards as well when word of mouth spread around the film during evening and night shows. What junta says about a film is the most important factor and that’s what came into play for this Aamir Khan starrer for which the word of mouth is consistently good.
What’s heartening is the huge growth seen as from Rs. 10.70 crores on Friday, the film has now grown by over 85%. Of course, one also needs to consider the fact that this is happening from a decent number as the film has been released at over 3000+ screens which means there was huge capacity always at its disposal. Even now there is scope to grow further as the film is highly concentrated towards premium multiplexes where the moolah actually lies.
This RS Prasanna directed film currently stands at Rs. 30.60 crores and rest assured, it will have close to Rs. 55 crores weekend. From the kind of start that it had taken, this would be a very good positioning for the film. A Rs. 100 crores run would be a cakewalk for the film from here on and now it has to be seen where does it eventually land.
