How did Talaash enter the 100 crore club despite it's genre?

Made on a budget of Rs.40 crore, and released across 2,500 screens, Talaash  entered the Rs 100 crore movie club.

I have seen the movie, and it hardly had commercial elements. Dark/niche elements, a storyline which meanders, and a subtext most won't grasp.

Also, the movie's climax was trashed by all because of the supernatural element👎🏼

Is it only bcoz of Aamir that the movie made 100 crores?

😆 He boasted he could’ve manipulated the figures and pushed it above 100 but let the results be pure even if it was 92

It didn't. 

Aur budget ki baat matt karo. It's because Aamir asked 80% of profit the producers had to sell the movie at almost 70cr+ IIRC. And it couldn't even make 100cr. It was a flop film... niche upar karke no faayeda.

That article is talking about it hitting 100cr world wide

BOI: domestic opening weekend-45.66 / domestic finish - 91.235

(note the article says 40c budget - but BOI 71cr...  🤓)

Hungama :13.50 / 47.10 / 93.40cr

It was Aamir's first non parallel cinema release since 3 Idiots- 3 years earlier so I think it opened big on Aamir's star power but legs were poor. ok.

Ask Aamir and he will tell you release date was off and these kinds of films don’t generally do that well 😆
