Aamir Khan is back with a bang! His upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par, directed by RS Prasanna, is all set to hit theaters on June 20, and the audience excitement is clearly visible on BookMyShow (BMS). In just 24 hours, the film saw a massive jump in BMS likes, showing that Aamir still knows how to pull the crowds.
Aamir Khan’s Comeback Film Sees Big Boost in Pre-Release Buzz
On June 14, Sitaare Zameen Par had around 40,000 to 41,000 likes on the popular ticket booking platform BMS. But within just one day, the film shot up to 63.9K likes — a jump of nearly 21,000 likes in 24 hours! That’s a growth of over 57%, which is huge, especially for a film that’s yet to be released.
This jump clearly shows that fans are eagerly waiting to see Aamir Khan on the big screen after a long gap. The actor’s last appearance was also in Laal Singh Chaddha, and since then, the audience has been waiting for his return. Sitaare Zameen Par is a sports drama with emotional elements, and fans are hoping it will be another memorable performance from Aamir.
Sitaare Zameen Par vs Maa: Who’s Winning the Pre-Release Race?
While Aamir’s film is gaining big numbers on BMS, Kajol’s upcoming horror movie Maa is lagging behind. Maa has only 15.9K likes on BookMyShow, which is 301% less than Sitaare Zameen Par. Even though Kajol is a strong performer, it looks like Aamir has already taken the lead in the pre-release box office buzz.
Interestingly, Maa will be released a week before Sitaare Zameen Par. While they are not releasing on the same day, they may still affect each other’s box office performance depending on the audience response and word of mouth.
Will This Aamir vs Kajol Clash Impact Box Office Numbers?
Although the films are releasing a week apart, both are big releases and will likely compete for audience attention. If Maa performs well during its first weekend, it might affect the opening of Sitaare Zameen Par. On the other hand, if Aamir’s film turns out to be strong in content and connects with viewers emotionally, it could dominate the second week and take the lead.
The trailers of both films suggest that they are confident about their content. Maa brings horror to the table — a genre that has been doing well lately — while Sitaare Zameen Par promises an inspiring story with Aamir’s signature emotional touch.
Final Thoughts: Who Will Win – Horror or Heartfelt Drama?
It’s hard to predict which film will win this unique box office face-off. Horror films have been performing well recently, and Kajol’s Maa could tap into that trend. But Aamir Khan is known for delivering quality films, and the jump in BMS likes shows that fans are ready to support him.
One thing is clear: both movies have their own strengths, and it will be interesting to watch how they perform when they hit theaters. For now, Sitaare Zameen Par has won the pre-release battle — but the real test will begin once both films are out.
Wishing both Maa and Sitaare Zameen Par all the best at the box office.
