Shah Rukh Khan beats Aamir Khan - Page 4

Its great to see that karan proved most of his critics wrong. That he CAN indeed make films that are a different genre and still succeed. Ofcourse, must creidt Srk adn Kajol. Its truly their combo with kjohar that is responsible for the box office.

Just as Aamir was responsible for the box office of 3 Idiots.

Lets see if MNIK can do the business 3 I did. I personally think it'll be tough, coz 3 Idiots had a more entertaining genre while MNIK is more serious.

@Bold: I agree, but shows that unfortunatly that people r much interested in entertainment than anything else..........

Karan Johar's My Name Is Khan (MNIK) has grossed around Rs 50 crore in India and about Rs 90 crore worldwide in its opening weekend, Vivek Krishnani, head (marketing ), Star Fox Studio said. Krishnani observed, "In the US, the film made Rs 20 crore, in the UK region, 1,23,000 ( Rs 89.61 lakhs) on the opening day. In Australia, the film earned an impressive $1.5 million ( Rs 7.05 crore), and was ranked no. 11 in the market." He added that the overall weekend collections of MNIK have been double of closest competitor 3 Idiots worldwide," adding that Sunday global box office markets like US, Australia, UK and Middle East set new records for the biggest single day internationally for a Bollywood movie. Star Fox Studio, the distributors of the film had distributed close 2,000 prints worldwide in the US, UK, Gulf region and Australia. The film ranked number five at the overseas box office behind Avatar, Valentine's Day, Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, and The Wolfman. MNIK has seen the biggest international opening day for a Bollywood film, grossing almost 30% more than, 3 Idiots which was released on December 24, 2009, says Krishnani.

In India, despite the issues in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Indore and other centres on Friday and part of Saturday, the film has opened well. In states where the film opened without any trouble, including Delhi-UP, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerela, the collections have been strong.

I think in Bollywood, romance is the safest genre to venture into, followed by comedy, but coming back to the topic, MNIK is much deserving than 3 Idiots........

3 Idiots got us back to family oriented comedy with a message. We had started venturing into vulgurity and bafoonery in the name of comedy.

Thakn you Raju Hirani and Aamir Khan for giving us something as wholesome and entertaining as 3 Idiots.

Comedy with a message, who woudl have thought?

And MNIK tackles an equally important issue, but via another route and story.

I just dont see the need ot compare the two and pit the two against each other.

If Srk and Aamir are supporting each other (srk showed up to 3 Idiots premier, Kjohar complimented 3 Idiots) then why are the fans indulging in this useless argument?

Had the two movies been on the same subject, then itwould have made sense to compare and contrast. But why compare chalk and cheese?

here i come!

aamir is the best of th best of the best .. nothing like AK! LOL
