Khan's Ghajini was expected to do well, specially after the manner
in which he promoted the movie. But no one expected that it would
have such phenomenal response. The film is believed to have received
100 per cent yesterday, following its release.
If that was not enough, all shows of the film have been sold for
the coming week as well. Director AR Murugadoss's film opened on
Wednesday evening, when paid previews were held all over the country.
According to trade reports, the film is already believed to have
raked in three times the collection of Aamir's closest rival, Shah
Rukh Khan's Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. It's been a while since all shows
of a film have been booked in advance for a week. The film was released
worldwide with 1, 450 prints and the support for the movie has cut
across all barriers of multiplex, singleplex theatres. The only
film that came closest to Ghajini is Akshay Kumar's Singh Is Kinng,
which had a record 90 per cent opening when it released earlier
this year. But Ghajini has left all its rivals behind. The success
of the film is being attributed to a lot of reasons like Aamir's
smart marketing tactics. Anyway, at the moment, the only reigning
star at the box office is Aamir Khan.
