Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par hits theatres on June 20, just two weeks after Akshay Kumar’s Housefull 5. The multi-starrer comedy arrived on June 6 and has already crossed Rs 120 crore mark in six days. The next release belongs to Mr Perfectionist, and many are wondering whether Aamir’s emotional drama will break its run.
Housefull 5, a cruise-set comedy-thriller, opened strong with Rs 24 crore on day one. The weekend pulled in over Rs 63 crore, and despite mixed reviews, the film stayed steady thanks to star power, multiple climaxes, and mass appeal. It’s on track to cross Rs 200 crore if the current pace holds.

Will Aamir Khan\’s Sitaare Zameen Par Effect The Momentum Of Housefull 5?
Sitaare Zameen Par is being seen as a spiritual successor to Aamir’s Taare Zameen Par. The film mixes sports, emotion, and comedy and stars Aamir, Genelia Deshmukh, and ten newcomers. It tackles mental health and inclusion, rare themes for a big-screen Bollywood release.
Aamir himself is cautious about the film’s box office prospects. He said, “There’s a fear that people only want action,” while explaining how action films dominate now. Instead of going wide on release day, the film will start with 1,250 screens and expand if audiences respond well.

| Audience Appeal | Mass audience, family entertainers | Family, emotional drama, niche themes |
| Unique Element | Dual endings (audience chooses the climax) | Focus on mental health, inclusion, emotional growth |
| Lead Actor’s Approach | Fast-paced, crowd-pleasing strategy | Slow release, depends on word-of-mouth |
| Trade Expectation | May cross Rs 200 crore with a steady run | Could gain strength with strong reviews |
| Threat Level | Currently dominating the box office | Possible disruptor if it emotionally connects |
| Key Risk Factor | Competition from Aamir’s film | Genre may not appeal to mass audiences |
The clash is not just about screen count. It’s genre versus genre (fun vs feelings). While Housefull 5 rides on chaos and laughs with over 5,000 screens, Sitaare Zameen Par is banking on strong word-of-mouth and emotional connection. If Aamir’s film clicks, it could cut into Housefull 5’s footfall.
