The wait is finally over for Aamir Khan fans, as the much-anticipated official announcement and first poster for Sitaare Zameen Par were unveiled today. Following the mixed response to Laal Singh Chaddha, many were eager to see Aamir’s next move, and it has now been confirmed that he is returning with a light-hearted yet emotional film. However, this announcement may have inadvertently impacted the long-term box office potential of Housefull 5.
For Akshay Kumar, the situation has been challenging. While his performances in Sky Force and Kesari Chapter 2 received praise and garnered decent earnings, they did not mark a significant comeback in terms of box office numbers. Akshay’s next film, Housefull 5, is set to hit theaters on June 6, 2025, and so far, the promotional content has generated positive buzz.
Housefull 5 has a hefty budget of ₹375 crores, making it the most expensive comedy film in Indian cinema history. For it to be considered a clean success at the box office, it must earn over ₹375 crores net. While this seems challenging, it is achievable if the film resonates well with audiences. Initial projections suggest that it will have a strong opening, but its long-term success will depend on how well it holds up after the first two weeks.
With Sitaare Zameen Par officially scheduled for release on June 20, 2025, it may pose a significant challenge for Housefull 5. Although Sitaare Zameen Par may not be a grand production, Aamir’s involvement is likely to draw considerable attention. Historically, Aamir has delivered hits with content-driven films, and this project, which evokes the spirit of Taare Zameen Par, has the potential to be a box office success.
Thus in the end, Housefull 5 will have a limited window of just two weeks to make its mark before Sitaare Zameen Par enters the scene. To achieve lasting success, it will need to withstand the competition from Aamir’s engaging film. The coming weeks will reveal how this cinematic rivalry unfolds!
