Aamir Khan’s “Sitaare zameen Par” Faces slow Advance Ticket Sales Ahead of Release
As Aamir Khan returns to the silver screen with “Sitaare Zameen Par,” directed by RS Prasanna, anticipation is building for its release on june 20. However, early ticket sales tell a different story. While the film has garnered some interest in India, international markets, particularly in Australia and North America, are seeing a disappointing response, with reports indicating that not even a thousand tickets have been sold just three days before its debut.
Industry analysts predict that if this trend continues, the film may only earn around $2 million in its opening weekend-a stark contrast to Khan’s previous hits, such as “Dhoom 3,” which raked in $8 million during its first weekend. Critics suggest that the film’s trailer and music have failed to create the desired buzz, leading to a lack of pre-release excitement. The success of “Sitaare Zameen Par” now hinges on audience reactions once it hits theaters. If the film receives positive feedback from viewers on its opening day, it could still turn into a box office success.
Notably, “Sitaare Zameen Par” will be screened in approximately 3,000 to 3,500 theaters across India. This film is a remake of the original “Taare Zameen Par,” and it features Genelia D’souza alongside Khan,promising a fresh take on a beloved story. As the release date approaches, all eyes will be on audience reception and whether this film can capture the hearts of moviegoers once again.
