Question: Why can't Aamir deliver a 100 crore club movie without Christmas release? Aamir did not cross 100cr mark in non-holiday period. Talaash was the most-awaited movie of 2012 and it failed to cross 100. He is the most over-rated Khan in the Khan trio'. After Talaash, he is probably scared of releasing his film during non-holiday which is why he is postponed the release of P.K? As we all know his Dhobi Ghat was also a huge failure - Akash Naik
Indicine: Akash, you are talking about a man who delivered the first 100 crore, 200 crore and 250 crore grosser! Four major Aamir Khan films have released since the first 100 cr grosser and only one of his films have released during a non-holiday weekend.
Its not just Aamir, the other two Khans have also tried their best to avoid releasing their film during a non-holiday weekend. Shahrukh Khan's last normal release was My Name Is Khan (2010) and it didn't collect 100 cr. Salman too has released all his films either during the holiday weekend or Post-IPL.
Coming to Talaash, it appealed only to a certain section of the audience and for its genre it did reasonably well at the box office. If 3 Idiots, Dhoom 3 or the upcoming P.K release this week, it would still easily collect more than 150 cr.
And finally, Dhobi Ghat was an art film made on a budget of around 12 cr. It would be foolish to expect huge box office returns from the film.
