PK vs Happy New Year: Box Office Collection Comparison

Aamir Khan's PK and Shahrukh Khan's Happy New Year were two of the most anticipated movies of 2014. While the former took a slow start at the box office on its opening day, Farah Khan's Diwali release opened to packed houses across the country.

The comparison is interesting because both films had a similar release - PK had higher number of shows at multiplexes and also the average ticket price was about 10-12% higher. Happy New Year on the other hand, had two holidays in its first weekend (Sunday included), Saturday was also a holiday in parts of the country and it had a slightly wider single-screen release.

Interestingly, while Happy New Year went on to collect just 4.5 times its first day business (204.83 divided by 44.97 = 4.55), PK has already collected 4.37 times its first day collections (116.43 divided by 26.63 = 4.37). The Aamir Khan starrer, which is probably carrying the best word-of-mouth for any film released this year, could go on to do more than 10 times its first day business!

In 4 days, Happy New Year had collected 123.87 crore, while PK is trailing with collections of 116.43 crore.

Aamir Khan starrer PK' is being compared to Akshay Kumar's Oh My God'. But, Aamir and the director of PK', Rajkumar Hirani are okay with the comparisons.


Wednesday, 24th Dec 2014, 4:49 PM IST

Aamir Khan starrer PK' is being compared to Akshay Kumar's Oh My God'. But, Aamir and the director of PK', Rajkumar Hirani are okay with the comparisons.

Talking about it, Aamir said, "If there is a theme two filmmakers have felt is important enough to make a film on, I think that's a good thing." Hirani added, "It's our bad luck that our film came later, but we had started writing it long before OMG' was being made. We have always chosen to tell unique stories. So at the time of writing, we thought it was a very unique story. Then we saw OMG', but we still chose to make PK'. Thematically they maybe the same, but I don't think the films are similar at all. We don't have a problem with comparisons.

PK: 5 Things you did not know
about the film


Charu Thakur Wednesday, December 24, 2014



If Aamir Khan and Rajkumar Hirani
collaborate for a film, the result is
bound to be something exceptional.
With the track record of giving
audiences a superb film like 3 Idiots,
the expectations are bound to soar. And, since the news of the two
coming together for PK came out, it
has become one of the most
anticipated films of the year.

The film opened in theatres on
December 19 and the actor and the
plot has been able to pull crowds in
large numbers to the theatres. The
film has already earned Rs 100 crore
within four days of its release and the box office collection boasts of the
great jodi - Aamir and Rajkumar.

Though within a few days of its
release, the film has become
controversy's favourite child. From
getting slammed for hurting the
religious sentiments of people to
getting an FIR lodged against the director and actor, the film has been
the centre of attention.

There are spoilers ahead, if you
haven't watched PK come back
later to this article.


Since the first poster of the film came
out, the speculations about Aamir
Khan playing an alien in PK started
doing the rounds. Yes, the alien aka PK
lands in a spaceship disguised as a
cloud. With saucer like ears and headlights like eyes, the character becomes one of the most adorable
characters in the film. But not many
would have noticed that PK does not
blink his eyes throughout the film. PK talks, cries and eats with his eyes wide open.

It's not just his expressions which make him quite different, but the alien also has a 'jugaad' to cover his otherwise naked body. He gets his clothes from dancing cars in the film.
He simply lifts the clothes from the cars of people who are too busy
making out. Dressed in bright hues
and faded jeans, PK looks much like
'gola wala' (Earth reident). But what
makes this entire concept interesting
is the fact that film's constume designers Manoshi Nath and Ruchi
Sharma did not buy or design clothes
for the film. They simply requested
people to lend their clothes by telling them bizzare stories. So, the clothes that PK is seen wearing in the film is collected from random people.
PK has been compared to films like
OMG-Oh My God but it has a
completely different plot. The film is
seen through the eyes of an alien who
is in search of God. The alien questions
the blind faith of the Earth residents in God. And, what makes PK a great watch is the fact that it is not preachy.
The film has been slammed for offending the religious sentiments of the people, but if you understand the message and learn to laugh at our yourself, you will know what an interesting plot it is.
