It was touted as the blockbuster of the year and it looks like Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna will live up to all the hype.
The collections indicate that Karan Johar's New York-based tale released with a record 1,000 prints worldwide is indeed going to be a hit.
In Bollywood hometown, Mumbai, KANK released with 157 prints and collected Rs 76 lakh on its first day.
In Delhi, Pune, Bangalore and Indore, the film opened at 100 per cent in its first weekend. Tickets were sold out well in advance at multiplexes and single screen cinema halls.
Overseas collection
Johar's magic is known to be especially potent on NRI audiences, and the overseas figures only endorse that.
In the US, the film has collected $1.2 million so far and in the UK, known as a Karan Johar stronghold, the film has already collected a record 7,50,000 pounds. In just four days, KANK is at number 5 on the UK charts.
Critical acclaim has usually eluded the filmmaker. This time though, while the critics approve, the audience seems a little divided.
But whatever the response, one thing is certain. The party should have started at Dharma Productions
