Hail the new monarch
- IndiaGlitz, [Sunday,January 11 2009]
Well, someday it had to happen and although not anticipated even by single film journalist, the power of this movie is proving to be too much to believe.
'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge' can now take the second seat as 'Ghajini' has claimed the authority to be the king after collecting the maximum amount of money in the domestic market ever by a Hindi film.
Can you believe it?
Rs.200 crores is what Aamir's first hardcore action thriller has been able to amass from across the globe.
Quite staggering, right.
But this is the plain fact about the overwhelming success of 'Ghajini' which also broke the myth of the NRI audience always preferring mushy soft romantic films from
Rs. 39 crore is the amount the movie has pulled in from the foreign market till now.
And Rs.162 crore has been squeezed out of the Indian market.
What makes this conquest of the box office a true revelation is that the movie was released on December 25 and the long drive ahead has already been guaranteed.
So it will be no less than a hard puzzle to unlock thinking about the total amount 'Ghajini' is going to make until the day collection starts to dry out.
Aamir, the perfectionist tag has become passé. Something more aggressive is the need of the hour.
What about a predator. Not an ordinary one but one who waits with patience and with just one swift move makes the kill of a life time.
Any arguments?
