South Indian remakes were done even before Ghajini and Wanted, so there is nothing trendsetting there, but it was Ghajini that was the first to cross 100 crore.

Action Comedy Romance Dialoguebaazi
Akki Akki Sallu Ajay
Ajay Sallu Akki Akki
Sallu Ajay Ajay Sallu


Overall : Akki
Ajay/Sallu tied

Sunny Deol's Indian was not a hit...technically its Salman, not Aamir who got the South films trend in Bollywood...Tere Naam was a remake of Tamil/ Telugu film Sethu...n Tere Naam was a huge hit...at tat time Multiplex culture was just developing, even then in terms of BO collection it was top grossers of 2003...so technically its Salman who started the trend😊

Aapke gaaon ke box office pe maybe.

Indian was a massive hit. Tere naam was an average grosser.

Infact Indian is best known for releasing on the same day as SRK's Asoka and destroying it.

'People are comparing Tere Naam with QSQT!'

If you ever wondered about the power of the media and of publicity campaigns, Salman Khan's Tere Naam should be proof.

Prior to its release, Satish Kaushik's film was widely touted to be an autobiographical film on Salman. It was said to be his true love story. Salman, for his part, vehemently denied that the story of Tere Naam [ Images ] bore any resemblance to his life.

Nevertheless, the hype resulted in one of the biggest openings seen in the movie history. Acting editor Komal Nahta reports in Film Information that the collections at Meerut's Nandan cinema have broken records over the last five years. Two hours after the advanced booking counter for the film opened for the first time, the theatre sold Rs 3 lakh (Rs 300,000) worth of tickets.

The response to Tere Naam surpassed that of Gadar -- Ek Prem Katha, Lagaan, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon and Koi... Mil Gaya.

Jodhpur saw almost a dozen people donning Salman's Tere Naam hairstyle for the first day's show. And this was the place where Salman had received the maximum flak after his black buck case.

In Mumbai , the film opened to 100 per cent collections. In Delhi, the film opened to 81 per cent collections.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh noted in a review, 'the hype surrounding the film resulted in a strong opening and, coupled with its merits, it should prove an earner for its investors. Business in the Hindi belt should prove to be the best, considering the backdrop of the film [North India].'

Adarsh remarks, "The film has been made at a reasonable price, so it was already safe in its first week of release."

"Considering that Salman received a lot of negative publicity, the kind of opening the film got is mesmerising. Besides, a Salman film has released after a long time [the last was Yeh Hai Jalwa in July 2002]. Tere Naam's promotion as a 'true love story' worked in its favour. The audience, which interpreted it as [former girlfriend] Aishwarya Rai and Salman's love story, came in hordes. Lately, Salman has been more cordial with the media and, this time, it helped him," Adarsh adds.
