Advance Booking for Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par Begins, but Sales Lag

Aamir Khan’s much-anticipated film Sitaare Zameen Par has officially opened for advance bookings, starting on June 17 with limited availability. However, the initial ticket sales have not met expectations.
On Wednesday, June 18, Aamir Khan observed a slow pace in ticket sales for his upcoming film on BookMyShow.
During the window from 11 AM to 3 PM, the film recorded only 6.4K pre-sales, indicating a lackluster response.
In the previous 24 hours, specifically on June 17, Sitaare Zameen Par managed to sell just 5K tickets on BookMyShow, averaging approximately 3.4 tickets per minute.
This performance is notably below par for an Aamir Khan film, raising concerns about its box office potential. Fans are hopeful that ticket sales will pick up in the coming days.
For context, here are the top 10 ticket pre-sales of Bollywood films in 2025 on BookMyShow:
- Chhaava: 777K

Aamir Khan’s Promotional Strategy Under Scrutiny
Given the current ticket sales, it appears that Aamir Khan may need to implement a more robust promotional strategy for his film. Alternatively, he may be banking on the film’s ability to achieve strong numbers once it hits theaters, relying on positive word-of-mouth to drive attendance. Let’s hope this strategy pays off!
