Aamir Khan’s ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ to Release on YouTube from August 1; Skips Major OTT Platforms
Mumbai, 29th July 2025: After a successful theatrical run, Aamir Khan has announced the highly anticipated OTT release of his emotional family drama Sitaare Zameen Par. However, in a bold and unconventional move, the film will not premiere on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, or Disney+ Hotstar, but will instead release exclusively on YouTube.
Starting August 1, 2025, Sitaare Zameen Par will be available globally on Aamir Khan’s official YouTube channel — Aamir Khan Talkies. This strategic decision aims to make the film widely accessible without being tied to traditional streaming giants.
The film will be available on pay-per-view:
₹100 in India
Local pricing in 38 countries, including the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, Indonesia, Philippines, Singapore, and Spain.
Aamir Khan had initially declared that the film would not be released on any digital platform, maintaining a strong theatrical-only stance. However, the overwhelming response and demand led to this YouTube-first digital distribution strategy — a first of its kind for a mainstream Hindi film of this scale.
A New Era of Film Distribution:
By bypassing top streaming platforms, Aamir Khan has set a unique precedent, focusing on democratizing access and ensuring that audiences worldwide, even without premium OTT subscriptions, can enjoy the film.
The movie stars Aamir Khan, Genelia Deshmukh, and features 10 actors with intellectual disabilities in key roles, offering a heartwarming narrative that has resonated with audiences across age groups.
Box Office Success-
Domestic Box Office: ₹160 crore (net)
Worldwide Gross: ₹225 crore+
Production Budget: ₹90 crore
Sitare Zameen Par not only marked Aamir Khan’s return to the big screen after three years but also emerged as one of 2025’s biggest blockbusters, both critically and commercially.
