Sitaare Zameen Par Shall Reward Aamir Khan For The Risk That He Has Taken

Sitaare Zameen Par is not a massive budget movie and it has been doing its business courtesy the presence of Aamir Khan. The cost of production (excluding Aamir Khan's estimated remuneration), along with the print and advertisement expenses, and remake expenses are around Rs 100-120 crore. Ideally, the global theatrical share should make up for these expenses and the non-theatrical revenues shall be absorbed by Aamir Khan; the only beneficiary. Music and Satellite right should bring in an estimated Rs 50 crore and then it is the digital rights (if negotiated), where the cream of the non-theatrical revenues will come from.

There can be a second phase of international release but that can't be said for certain because it depends majorly on the political relation of India with the countries in question.
