Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par takes 6th biggest Hindi opening in 2025

Bollywood’s box office in 2025 has been nothing short of a spectacle, with several high-profile releases setting the cash registers ringing. From action-packed extravaganzas to franchise blockbusters, the year has already seen multiple big openers. Among them, Aamir Khan’s much-anticipated Sitaare Zameen Par secured the 6th position in the list of top Day 1 openers for Hindi films this year.

On its opening day, Sitaare Zameen Par collected Rs 11.7 crore at the domestic box office. While not a record-breaker by Aamir’s past standards, it’s a decent start for an emotional family drama — especially in a market currently dominated by larger-than-life actioners and franchise comedies.

Here’s how the top openers of 2025 stack up so far:

Vicky Kaushal’s Chaava – Rs 31 crore

Salman Khan’s Sikandar – Rs 26 crore

Akshay Kumar’s Housefull 5 – Rs 24 crore

Ajay Devgn’s Raid 2 – Rs 19.25 crore

Akshay Kumar’s Sky Force – Rs 12.25 crore

Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par – Rs 11.7 crore

Sunny Deol’s Jaat – Rs 9.5 crore

Akshay Kumar’s Kesari 2 – Rs 7.75 crore

Rajkummar Rao’s Bhool Chuk Maaf – Rs 7 crore

Leading the charge is Vicky Kaushal’s period action drama Chaavabased on life of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj, which exploded onto screens with Rs 31 crore, marking his career-best opener. Salman Khan’s Eid release Sikandar, directed by AR Murugadoss, followed with Rs 26 crore. The tried-and-tested comedy franchise Housefull 5 claimed the third spot with Rs 24 crore, while Ajay Devgn’s Raid 2 comfortably took the fourth position at Rs 19.25 crore.

Akshay Kumar’s Sky Force landed at number five with Rs 12.25 crore, marginally ahead of Sitaare Zameen Par. Though it may not be a chart-topper, Aamir Khan’s latest offering has received positive word-of-mouth, and its performance over the weekend will determine its long-term prospects at the box office.

It would be interesting to see where does Sitaare Zameen Par land as far as total box office is concerned among the big releases this year.
