Sitaare Zameen Par yet to enter Rs 100 crore club, gives Sikandar deja vu

Seeing how Sitaare Zameen Par is yet to enter Rs. 100 crore club, the movie might really have to struggle to get the superhit status. This is a stark reminder of the fate of Salman Khan's Sikandar, which entered Rs. 100 crore club but struggled since. With Maa also competing with Sitaare Zameen Par the way Sunny Deol’s Jaat came in competition with Salman Khan’s Sikandar, this weekend could prove to be most crucial for both the movies.

Sitaare Zameen Par vs Kajol's Maa

Kajol's Maa, which is a movie from the Shaitaan Universe, is out in theatres. The film is likely to give Sitaare Zameen Par competition over the weekend. This could make things tougher for Aamir Khan's movie, but it is too early to tell if that would actually be the case. Nonetheless, Sitaare Zameen Par is slated to enter Rs. 100 crore club but whether it can come close to Rs. 200 crore club remains to be seen.
