Midweek: 'Ghajini' storms box-office, emerges the biggest opener ever!

- By Taran Adarsh, December 30, 2008 - 08:42 IST

Film	Cast	Plusses	Minusses	Verdict
Ghajini	Aamir Khan, Asin, Jiah Khan, Pradeep Rawat	A perfect film in all respects. Aamir is its USP	Difficult to find	Earth-shattering collections. 1st weekend [Wednesday paid previews till Sunday] collected approx. Rs. 42 cr. nett [approx. Rs. 70 cr. gross] in India, which is an all-time record. Historic collections everywhere. Has surpassed all past openers. Monday was rock-steady with 70% - 80% collections
Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi	Shah Rukh Khan, Anushka Sharma, Vinay Pathak	Shah Rukh's incredible performance as Surinder	Screenplay doesn't hold	Hit
Jumbo	Voice-overs of Akshay Kumar, Lara Dutta, Dimple Kapadia, Gulshan Grover, Rajpal Yadav, Asrani	An interesting story with good animation	Isn't as captivating at times	Dull weekend. Got affected due to the 'Ghajini' wave
Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!	Abhay Deol, Neetu Chandra, Paresh Rawal, Archana Puransingh	A well-executed subject with competent performances	Lacks dramatic moments in the story	Flop
Dostana	Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham, Bobby Deol, Priyanka Chopra, Kirron Kher, Boman Irani	A different theme, well treated, plus competent performances	Second half could've been more convincing	Steady at few multiplexes. Due to its high price, average

Well this was expected.

I read somewhere that it has surpassed Gadar , the biggest blockbuster of all times. Aamir marketed his film extremely well.

Hmmm....I agree. More than the film itself , Aamir and his team marketed and promoted the film with some real meticulous planning... the effort seems to be paying off. 😆....It hasn't surpassed Gadar yet....there is still a week to complete with thumping figures if Ghajini needs that status.
