Aamir Khan's 'Sitaare Zameen Par' experienced a strong opening weekend, exceeding expectations despite being a niche film. The movie witnessed substantial growth on Saturday and Sunday, but faced a significant drop on Monday and Tuesday. While performing well in multiplexes and certain territories, its fate hinges on maintaining momentum throughout the week, especially with the upcoming release of 'Maa'.

In a rare display of camaraderie, Salman Khan publicly lauded Aamir Khan's 'Dangal' in 2016, setting aside any perceived rivalry. Salman even acknowledged 'Dangal' surpassed his own film, 'Sultan.' The movie, a biopic on the Phogat sisters' journey to wrestling glory, resonated deeply with audiences. 'Dangal' achieved unprecedented success, grossing Rs 538.
