Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and Ajay Devgn’s film are doing great at the box office. They are breaking records sets earlier.
Aamir Khan’s 3 Idiots, Ghazini, Salman’s Dabangg, Ready and Ajay Devgn’s Golmaal 3, all these films have done business of over Rs. 100 crore. The fact is that Aamir’s 3 Idiots is at the number one position and Saman’s Dabangg and Ready are in the number 2 and 3 positions. Ajay Devgn’s Golmaal has come at the third place in the list of biggest earners in Hindi Cinema. Ajay’s latest released Singham too may break the records because it is running successfully since its release.
Trade analyst Vajir Singh says, “Going by the extraordinary opening at single screens and a good opening at multiplexes, Singham will cross the 100-crore mark soon.”
Ajay Devgn Says, “It feels great to have two films on the list of the biggest earners in Hindi cinema…that too through Golmaal 3 and Singham! It’s unreal – much more than what we had hoped for. The flipside is that with great success comes a lot of pressure about your next film. Also, the success quotient changes every Friday. Today, it is my day; tomorrow it will be somebody else’s. After 20 years of success and failure, it doesn’t change or excite me much. Now I just try and make the audience happy. I am sure Salman and Aamir feel the same way.”
Aamir says, “While I am very happy with the monetary success of both films, I have to confess that merely monetary success does not excite me. I think that films like Taare Zameen Par, Lagaan, Rang De Basanti, Dhobi Ghat, etc., enrich our emotions, and have the ability to create a very positive, inspirational, happy and moving impact on us. What excites me is to be part of this life-changing experience for people and society. I thank my directors and writers for that.”
Arbaaz Khan who has produced Dabangg says, “Salman enjoyed doing the films and the right music, action, characters and script worked for the films. But the business module is changing today along with a growing number of prints, theatres and multiplexes. What is a benchmark today will change with the economics of the business.”
