Box Office: PK becomes Aamir Khan's highest grossing film
By Bollywood Hungama News Network

The Aamir Khan - Anushka Sharma starrer PK, that released last week is still doing brisk business at the box office. The film, that brings together Anushka and Aamir for the first time, has been running to packed houses and has been earning good collections even over the weekdays and the holidays.

In this box office report, we compare the first week collections of PK to the previous releases of Aamir Khan, Anushka Sharma and Rajkumar Hirani.

Aamir Khan's 2014 release PK has collected Rs. 183.09 crores over the week, thus making it the superstar's highest grossing film ever. However, it may be noted that Dhoom 3 collected Rs. 188.99 crores, which includes the collections of Tamil and Telugu versions of the film. But when compared to the Hindi version of Dhoom 3, the film had collected Rs. 178.97 crores, lesser than the first week collection of PK.

Also, PK remains to be the highest grossing film for Anushka Sharma, leaving behind her previous releases which included Jab Tak Hai Jaan that collected Rs. 98.41 crores and Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola that collected Rs. 33.71 crores.

For Rajkumar Hirani, whose previous hit, too managed to earn a fantabulous response at the box office, PK ranks first leaving behind the blockbuster 3 Idiots starring Aamir Khan, which collected Rs. 40.65 crores in its first week.

Ugly Very Dull Opening PK Dominates

Ugly opened to very poor collections all over of around 5% and faces an uphill struggle at the box office. The film will probably add to the huge list of these similar type of films aimed at the metro multiplex crowd but the audience does just not come, The opening of Lingaa which is dubbed from a Tamil film was better than Ugly

PK will dominate the box office this next and next week. The film is behaving like a new release with 35-40% collections in the morning shows of its 8th day. The film will do record business in the second week.

The second week record stands at 64.50 crore nett set by Dhoom 3 last year and the question will be how much can PK beat that figure by.

Just awesome reports everywhere. An aadha actor showed the 8-times Filmfare awards winner what is acting all about and what setting box-office records really means. Dil garden garden ho gaya.
I saw the movie yesterday. I am not good at writing reviews but Aamir and Hirani are a class apart. Haven't enjoyed a movie at the theaters like this since 3I.
PK part2, please come soon.

"PK will definitely exceed Kick" - Sajid Nadiadwala

By Subhash K. Jha, Dec 26, 2014 - 11:07 IST

In a year strewn with the corpses of dud films, three mega-blockbuster stood their ground.

We're of course talking about Sajid Nadiadwala's Kick, Farah Khan's Happy New Year and now, Raj Kumar Hirani's PK. This must be the only year in living memory when the three biggest hits featured the triumvirate of Khan superstars.

Coincidentally, Sajid Nadiadwala, who made his dynamic directorial debut with the kick-ass Kick, is emotionally connected to the other two mega-hits of 2014.

Says Sajid sentimentally, "Look, the figures for Kick speak for themselves. And I really don't need to say anything about its success. It is my good fortune that the film is the biggest hit of my brother and friend Salman Khan's career. But I've to be realistic about PK."

And what according Sajid is the ground-reality about PK's expected success? Predicts Nadiadwala, "PK will definitely out-distance Kick. The collections of PK are unbelievable. With my decades of my experience in film production, I can feel it. I feel no regret or envy in saying PK will be bigger than Kick. This is not just a practical but also an emotional response. I'm a big fan of Raju Hirani's cinema. I want PK to break records."

Sajid is also very upbeat about Happy New Year. "I thoroughly enjoyed the film. I'm very proud of my rakhi-sister Farah. People keep forgetting I am debutant director. Compared to me, Farah and Raju are veterans. And still if Kick is being talked about in the same breath as their films, then I've a lot to be happy about."

2014 saw Sajid Nadiadwala scoring a hat-trick of hits as producer. Says Sajid proudly, "We had Highway, 2 States and Kick. But I keep telling my team, 2014 should prove to be the worst year of my life as filmmaker. How else can I motivate them to better our record in 2015?"
