Sitaare Zameen Par more than proved its mettle in the first week but like the ten children in the heartwarming film, there seems to be no dearth of intellectually challenged people in the trade who insisted all through the week that collections were rigged or that producer Aamir Khan had resorted to block (corporate) bookings to prop up the film. Of course, there was no truth in the fake stories of block bookings doing the rounds. Yes, there were cases of block bookings but they were genuine instances — of schools and organisations booking tickets in bulk for their students/members. The film netted Rs. 10.70 crore on the first day, an extraordinary figure considering the theme and the star cast. Although the opening day’s collection set the tone for the weekend, nobody was prepared for the 86% growth on Saturday. The jump took even the most optimistic persons by surprise because one hasn’t seen such a jump (86%) in collections on the second day for a film with even a decent start, what to talk of a film with a lovely initial. Saturday closed at Rs. 19.90 crore. Collections on Sunday saw yet another huge jump, again unprecedented after an 86% increase on the second day. The total for Sunday was Rs. 26.70 crore.

This week’s SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR was off to a great start after not-so-good footfalls in the early shows. But collections picked up as the day progressed. With the word of mouth being terrific, collections are bound to grow phenomenally today (Saturday). In fact, the jump in collections on the second day may be historic. In other words, no earlier Hindi film, which has opened at more than Rs. 5 crore on the first day, may have seen such a huge jump (as SITAARE ZAMEEN PAR will see).
