Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and Ajay Devagn: The 100 crore boys
Mumbai, Aug 7 (TruthDive): Now here is another exclusive club of members. Dethroning all the 'Kings' and 'Badshahs', Aamir Khan, Salman Khan and Ajay Devagn have proved to be the new rulers of Bollywood. Though Box Office collection records tend to be broken every Friday, the one we are talking about here will be particularly difficult to break.
Their films 3 Idiots, Ghajini, Ready, Dabangg and Golmaal 3 are the only ones to have done business of over Rs 100 crore in the domestic market.
Aamir's 3 Idiots is the highest Bollywood earner of all time.
Salman's Dabangg and Ready are in the number 2 and 3 slot respectively.
Ajay is next with Golmaal 3, and his Singham continues to roar, showing signs of setting second and third week records.
Aamir, who has two super hit films (Ghajini and 3 Idiots), adds, "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."
Ajay Devgn says, "I feel 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 flip side 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."
Ajay expresses his gratitude to the audiences for propelling him to this level and hopes to keep entertaining them for the years to come.
Ye Hai Mohabbatein
