Aamir Khan has finally delivered a success at the box office with Sitaare Zameen Par. The film, in 10 days, has churned out a profit of almost 35% at the box office. The film needs a total of180 crore at the box office to claim the hit verdict for itself. Interestingly, this will be Aamir Khan’s first hit post-COVID, in fact,a redemption of sorts for the actor.
Sitaare Zameen Par – The Much Needed Success
Sitaare Zameen Par’s success might be a breath of fresh air for the actor, who witnessed a hit at the box office in 2016 for the last time with Dangal. Though it was followed by Secret Superstar’s phenomenal success, it was more of Zaira Waseem’s success!
Aamir Khan VS Shah Rukh Khan VS Salman Khan Box Office
The three Khans, at the box office, witnessed a downfall during the same time! While Aamir Khan’s last hit was Dangal in 2016, for Salman Khan it was Sultan. Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan’s last box-office hit was even Chennai Express in 2013. Though it was followed by Dear Zindagi’s hit tag in 2016, again, the laurels went to Alia Bhatt!
Post 2016, the three Khans struggled at the box office – Shah Rukh Khan tanked at the box office with Jab Harry Met Sejal and Aamir Khan brought a disaster with Thugs Of Hindostan in 2017. Salman Khan also delivered an underwhelming performance with Tubelight in the same year!
