Where will be Raajneeti? I think it should come just after Ghajini... I never knew about Mission Kashmir being a record maker as well... Thats pretty neat... thanks for the list, Doga this also shows how an actor earns his credibility... Movies after movies they keep on accumulating the goodwil of the paying public, and how that capital is used to get openings of their next movies. Also it seems like audience is pretty forgiving of one or two bad ones, like clearly audience didn't mind MP, or it can also be the fact that Aamir's next release came afetr a long time, so people had already forgotten that... By thisz chart HR is due a big one, but don't think he will get with Guzarish... on the whole, chart dominated by SRK-Aamir-HR, though Aamir having a great repo with audience clearly shows in the list
Raajneeti is actually similar to Ghajini, it actually crossed Ghajini by around 40-50 Lakhs or so.(0.4-0.5 cr) that is 7 day week from first Friday to First Thursday.
But since the list is in chronological order of Record Weeks, 3 Idiots had already come before Raajneeti,thus cant be put in the list.
A movie now has to break 3 Idiots to be on the list.
Thing is Ghajini was released on Thursday(X-mas day), so it actually has a collection of 64.95 cr in 8 day week(including paid previews).
It had a huge 10 cr X-mas day.
Now if we just take first 7 days of release then Ghajini has 56 cr week but as a standard i went by Friday to Thursday which are actually 2nd-8th day of its release.
I have uploaded Ghajini first 8 days too with Weekend.
Oh yeah, I got the point now, but what a fantastic achievement by Raajneeti. An ensemble cast, no big name, like say Akki, SRK, Aamir, HR, but such a phenomenal number. And I remember even the marketing was nothing like Ghajini-OSO kinds.... People generally came to see a politico movie.
What movie you see can beat 3I? Dhoom3? Krrish 2? Or even Aamir-YRF combo or say an Aamir-Raju combo?
I heard about Aamir appearing for Raju once again in some Ferrari ki sawari... interesting title, it can do wonders. But my bet will beon Krrish 2 or Dhoom 3 if Aamir becomes a part of it, I don't think HR can carry this series any further.
I don't think for a new movie this bar would be easy to break, yes you are right that 3I weekdays after weekdays were phenomenal, but then those weekdays were like weekends only, Xmas holidays...
I think only an established franchise can come close of tipping 3I record, that too during Xmas and all...
Thats why I will keep Ra1 out, but Krrish2, and D3 if with Aamir, or may be even with HR, can come close.....
RK has also amassed good credibility among audience, but I do not think he is anywhere near the BO capabilities of HR-SRk-Aamir. HR might have faced a dud with Kites, but he can not be counted out, spl if its something like D3, with YRF, established franchise, or Krrish2, again franchise and RR at helm.
I think if HR does both, and both turn out to be good, he can race ahead of his peers and new found competition like RK by a margin.

Its actually 57 not 56.
ReplyDeleteRaajneeti first week will be around 53.7 cr.

Yes Raajneeti came totally out of the blue. Was only expecting standard hit at max.
ReplyDeleteOn 3 Idiots, it will be damn hard for a movie to beat it as of now.
While the first week(7 days) number of the likes of Ghajini/Raajneeti are 53-54 cr, 3 Idiots had a 2nd week of 55 cr.
The main victory of 3 I was not the weekend(which is still a record) but how it performed on the weekdays and the 2nd weekend, thats out of the world.
ReplyDeleteOpening weekend of 3 I was 38 , Rajneeti had 34 , so its not that far away.
But then 3 I started doing, 9,10,11 cr on weekdays and 2nd weekend too, to have 115 cr in 10 days!
Even now the biggest grossers can only get upto 6+ cr on weekdays( and that too only monday i think).
So 3 Idiots record(opening week and final) will remains for many years i think.
Though the Opening weekend might be broken in couple of years.
Prospective 100+ cr movies are,
ReplyDeleteRa.1
Don 2
Aamir in Dhoom 3
Krrish 2
Even this year i think if everything goes right and movie content is Average+, Tees Maar Khan might reach close to 90-100 cr.
Raajneeti already did 94 cr.
