Will 'Dhoom 3' Dethrone 'Krrish 3'? All Eyes on Aamir Starrer

Will 'Dhoom 3' Dethrone 'Krrish 3'? All Eyes on Aamir Starrer

to Reach 300-crore Mark?

Hrithik Roshan's "Krrish 3" has emerged as the highest grossing Bollywood film, surpassing the collections of Shah Rukh Khan's "Chennai Express" at the Indian box office.

It took nearly four years for a Bollywood film ("Chennai Express") to break the record set by 2009-blockbuster "3 Idiots". In a span of over three months, "Krrish 3" achieved the feat in surpassing "Chennai Express" figures.

Now, the focus has shifted to Aamir Khan's "Dhoom 3" which is set to the hit screens on 20 December. "The next big release is Aamir Khan's 'Dhoom 3' and the ball is in his court to ensure that the records created by Hrithik are surpassed," an insider was quoted as saying by Bollywood Hungama.

"He has to score bigger than 'Krrish 3' with his 'Dhoom 3' on opening day, opening weekend, opening week and then the lifetime run. Nothing less would suffice."

Aamir Khan, often referred to as Mr Perfectionist, is doing the antagonist role in "Dhoom 3", which is the third installment in the "Dhoom" franchise. Aamir's star status and the highly successful franchise is likely to boost the film's opening collections on the first day of its release. But what remains to be seen is whether "Dhoom 3" will be able to smash the records set by "Krrish 3".

The Hrithik starrer is not just the highest grossing Bollywood film, but also holds the record for highest non-holiday opener. The film, which released on 1 November (Friday), earned 25.50 crore on its opening day in India. Despite releasing on a non-holiday Friday and during the pre-diwali phase, "Krrish 3" managed to rake in fantastic collections.

"Dhoom 3" is also releasing on a non-holiday Friday (20 December). It remains to be seen if the film will smash the new record created by "Krrish 3". Speculations are also rife as to whether the Aamir starrer will start the 300-crore club. The actor is considered as the founder of the 100 crore and 200 crore leagues. He started the 100-crore trend with "Ghajini" and hit the 200-crore mark with "3 Idiots".

Now, the only one question that remains in everybody's mind is whether the actor will set a new benchmark by reaching the 300-crore mark with his action-thriller flick "Dhoom 3".

Dhoom 3' Makers Start Booking Theatres in Tamil Nadu, Aamir Starrer to Release on 20 December

The makers of Aamir Khan's "Dhoom 3" have started booking theatres in Tamil Nadu. The film is all set to hit screens on 20 December, a few days ahead of Christmas.

Confirming the news, senior film journalist Sreedhar Pillai tweeted, "#Dhoom3, @yrf starts booking theaters in TN through @SPIcinemas 4 a Dec 20 release in Hindi & Tamil."

"Dhoom 3" will be simultaneously released in Hindi and Tamil versions. The action-thriller flick starring Aamir Khan is one of the most-awaited films of 2013. It is the third installment in the "Dhoom" franchise. The Hindi and the Tamil versions of "Dhoom 2", starring Hrithik Roshan, were big hits at the Tamil Nadu box office.

Aamir's film is also expected to perform well, as the actor has a good fan following in the state. He plays the antagonist in the third installment, which was previously played by John Abraham and Hrithik in the first and second films of the franchise.

Directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya, "Dhoom 3" will have Abhishek Bachchan reprising his cop role and Uday Chopra as his sidekick. The film will have Katrina Kaif playing the female lead. The first look teaser of "Dhoom 3" has generated a lot of buzz. Expectations are quite high for the film thanks to Aamir's star power and the success of the franchise.

The film will have a wide release in India as well as in overseas markets. In northern circuits, "Dhoom 3" will have a solo release on 20 December which will help the film make a fantastic opening in its first weekend.

However, the film will face strong competition from regional films in south India. In Tamil Nadu, two films - "Endrendrum Punngai" and "Biriyani", have announced the same release date as "Dhoom 3". There is likely to be a big battle among these three films to grab more screens.

In Andhra Pradesh, "Dhoom 3" is expected to have a face-off with Ram Charan's "Yevadu" which might release on 19 December.
