#PK sets a new benchmark. Crosses 300 cr. HIGHEST GROSSER EVER [Hindi]. First *Hindi* film to attain this remarkable status.

As expected, Mumbai Can Dance Saala and Take It Easy turned out to be disasters at the box office. This pretty much continues the rituals as far as new releases of the New Year are concerned. There wasn't anything going for these two films which arrived without any promotion whatsoever and didn't have any notable names attached to them. As a matter of fact it was rather surprising that they actually managed to get some kind of release as usually, films with such stage and setting disappear completely inside a crowd of five-six films that arrive together over a weekend.

Meanwhile, it was PK that continued to mint moolah with around 25 crore coming in over the weekend, hence resulting in 300 crore total being crossed. This is historic indeed as Aamir Khan is the founding member of 100 crore (Ghajini) and 200 crore (3 Idiots) club as well. Meanwhile, Raj Kumar Hirani has reaffirmed his place firm as the Numero Uno filmmaker today when it comes to repute meeting commerce. As for Vidhu Vinod Chopra, he is truly one of the only surviving filmmakers from the 80s to see such dazzling heights in his career at this age.

The film carries good potential to surpass the 320 crore mark and it should take a Salman Khan to go anywhere close to that (or cross that) with Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo this year.

Aamir Khan - The Founder of 300 Cr, 200 cr, 100 cr Club - HISTORICAL

January 4, 2015 0

Aamir Khan has become the most trusted brand in Bollywood as he is the founder of 300 cr Club with PK after having found 200 cr Club and 100 cr Club with Ghajini. In the mean time Aamir Khan also created 250 cr Club with Dhoom 3.

Aamir Khan is also hugely popular worldwide as he is the founder of 500 cr Club (Gross Collections) with Dhoom 3 and should open 600 cr Club with PK too.

If we by segregate worldwide and domestic records, Aamir Khan leads in India with Top 2 All Time Grossers. In overseas market, Aamir Khan has the Top 3 All Time Grosser while in terms of worldwide records, Aamir Khan holds the Top 3 position too.

Aamir Khan has become synonymous to quality product so much that people have started to develop a blind faith that whatever has Aamir's name attached to it, that thing has to have superior quality. Among the three biggest superstars of  Bollywood namely Salman, SRK and Aamir, Ace Khan undeniably has the best script sense and this has helped him time and again in creating lifetime records.

One advantage which Aamir Khan has over his contemporaries is that he is free of any particular star image and this helps him tremendously in selecting scripts as people always come to theaters waiting to see Aamir Khan - The Actor and not Aamir Khan - The Star. His script sense is also visible in films which are not close to this standards but they have terrific scope of performance in the lead roles and this is what sets him apart from his contemporaries.
