Few expected 3 Idiots to beat the record set by Aamir Khan’s very own Ghajini, but now, with mind boggling business (an understatement to be frank) all over India at both multiplexes and single screens, the Ghajini record looks beatable.
The weekend collections are around 40 crores nett (62 crores+ gross) including paid previews and the movie would need to further add 25 crores over the next 4 days (Monday – Thursday) to beat the 65 crore nett first week collections of Ghajini.
With many schools, colleges and offices closed during this extended Christmas – New Year weekend, the collections are expected to remain very steady in the next 3 – 4 days.
Nothing, not even the hike in ticket prices has affected the opening of 3 Idiots, infact it has only contributed in increasing the weekend collections.
Overall, 3 Idiots is the biggest weekend money spinner ever and Aamir Khan is the biggest star in the country. Period.
Just as Akshay said– Only aamir can break his own records. Am sure 3 Idiots will break Ghajini`s record..:)
Records r meant to be broken n Aamir proves it..;)
A few multiplexes are only showing 3 idiots, across all screens. Should be a record of sorts, never witnessed before!

INDICINE s this true? so WAt will be d collection of 3 Idiots..;) Must be 100-120cr…
Looks like NDTV is kidding. Wake Up Sid India nett itself was more than 21 crores.
The repeat value of 3 Idiots seems to be good, so it should cross 100 crores easily. No competition till January 8th (Dulha Mil Gaya and Pyaar Impossible) would only help.
Would be interesting to see how it fares in Week 2 though. With such a wide release and way too many shows, it should drop big in week 2.
Having said that, even a 60 – 65% crash wouldn’t affect it much.
I doubt it can bet overall record but first week ,it will easily break or come to near.Holiday r in corner so look like it can sustain in 2nd week also but due to heavy collection of 1st week,2nd week will be around 20-30 crs

What has helped 3 Idiots is the price of tickets, the percentage is lower than Ghajini. One other point to be noted is, Ghajini released a day earlier (Thursday, preview on Wednedsay) and had a 4 day weekend.
Sudeep, stop posting the same link in every topic. Isn’t allowed here.
The 1st week record will be broken,but ghajini total gross was huge,around 265+ core,so it is not easy to beat.but can go close to ghajini easily.
My friends Sudeep n Aamish are posting their comments here and indicine is giving them replay, so i think i hv to say some thing as well , but till now i m not sure wht i hv to say abt this matter, hummm let me think
humm i got it
Indicne Team:
some days ago i posted one comment about last 10 x mas releases and it showed that every time christmas releases are getting success due to long weekends, holidays, festive week and bollywood is not releasing new movies in jan 1st week coz history is witness that since Mela 2000 every 1st week release in jan is unsuccessful,
so a lots of reasons that movies are working of x mas , becuase they dont hv any compiter , long weekends , holidays.
do u know 3 Idiots was ready to release in june or july but Vidhu Vinod saw the track record of christmas releasesand last 2 aamir’s releases so he dicided to release it on x mas.
now Farah announced that she gonna release Tees Maar Khan in next christmas.
no doubt 3 Idiots is mindblowing movie and Ghajini was also perfect but if we will culculate avarage per day collection of Ghajini and 3 Idiots then 3 Idiots is more ahead then ghajini
ghajini 4 days collection 40 cr (including wed paid preview ) avarage 10 cr per day
3 Idiots 3 days collection 40 cr (including thu paid preview) avarage 13.3 cr per day
so if movie gets 50 % dip in rest 4 days then 6 cr x 4 = 24 cr
so 1st week would be somewhere 64-66 cr.
and 2nd week near to 30-32 cr
3rd week 10 – 12 cr
life time business 110-120 cr
i m not sure abt oversess that we didnt get any report from overseas yet.
indicine , amish , sudeep
wht were were the lifetime collections of ghajini ???
unknown:
till weekend report 3 Idiots is far ahead than Ghajini so how can we think that it cant break ghaniji’s record ?
in weekend ghajini per day avarage collections were 10 cr and 3 idiots are 13.3 cr
and 3 idiots is batter then ghajini as well.
so i m hopefull
and who said to u that ghajini’s got 265 cr,
ghajini was somewere 100-110 cr net gross in india
correct me if i m wrong
Nauman ghajini lifetime gross was 265+ core. N 3i is brilliant in overseas also. Specially north america n ur australia.
Nauman 3i has much more screen than ghajini.also ghajini weekend was 4 day n 3i is a 3 day weekend.so both r close.in occupency ghajini is ahead n in collection 3i is ahead but it has more screens than any other muvi.
N ghajini world wide collection is 265 core, second is rnbdj which is 180 core.i hav seen it on zoom chanel.not sure but u may find it in ghajini wiki also.
3i is very good in all places
i also hope it to break all the records, as it is a gr8888 film
unknown:
265 cr is gross or net ? may be it is gross if gross then 50 % off it would be near to 130 – 135 cr net world wide if this is the gifure then i am agree with u.
btw wht is ur name and where r u from ?
Oveseas ,movie already manage to get 10 crs till friday…It can be biggest hit till date in overseas also…..Aamir is rocking

According to ZOOM Buisness Of Bollywood:-
The Biggest Flops of the year:-
1. BLUE – Loss 50cr.
2. KI – Loss 45 cr.
3. WYR- Loss 35cr.
4. Tasveer & MAMK- Loss 30cr each
5. C2CC- Loss 5 cr.
Guys like Amish, Dude we can not trust these channels… So better Don’t Post it here…. Each channel has different claims…
So do one thing…. Trust BOI Blindly… As it’s only BOI which gives about 95-100% correct figures…
According to ZOOM Akshay has 4 flops… But that is not true…. Similarly Figures quoted by NDTV & ETC are not true.. Hope U guys got my point.

Thnks sunny but my name is sudeep not sandeep hehe…
@vicky….Ya,i agree with u!!especially tht zoom channel is total nonsense…saying all movie of akshay are flop!!!!!May be akshay donot show up in there channel so talking nonsense….Saying sabse tes bollywood news but it just a crap channel….It must be band !!!
I don’t know why do u all give this this big concern , from my point of view I see that how much money the film collect isn’t really the best judge of it’s quality , specially when it comes to Indian movies ,4 god’s sake a movie like Ghajini tops the list????? A movie which’s basically a cartoon !!!!! Amir deserves better , cuz he’s done movies better than this, Fanna for instance, and rang de basanti are way way by faaaaaaar better than Ghajini
@Nauman: About the overseas of 3I from the businessofcinema.com….
MUMBAI: 3 Idiots has managed to bid 2009 a befitting adieu. After shattering opening day box office collections in India, the movie has managed to break records in the overseas market too.
While the India box office collections for 3 Idiots are staggering, the movie has so far collected a whopping $ 2 million (Rs 10 crore) in overseas markets like the US, Canada, the UK and UAE till Friday.
Adding the India and overseas collections, the movie has now done a business of Rs 225 million (Rs 22.50 crore) worldwide till Friday.
Till Friday, the movie collected $ 1 million in North America, $550,000 in the UAE and £163,000 in the UK.
