  • Hike in ticket rates worked for YRF big time. 200% at IMAX and 40% at other plexes all over India. If Krrish3 got such a grand hike in ticket rates release, it would had crossed 40cr nett mark on the very first day of its release. YRF – worst production house in our country. loot rhe janta ko.. 900rs. movie me waste krne se accha gareebon me baato, 10 din ka khaana khaa skte poore family ko wo log.

  • well opened but still movie #Dhoom3 not soo good as like as hrithik’s Dhoom 2…, Dhoom 2 was O.sum movie….,

  • Along with King of Christmas Aamir khan is also the king of year 2008,2009 and now 2013 bcoz “Ghajini” and “3 idiots” were the highest grossers of that year and also lifetime and hopefully after some days “Dhoom 3” will become highest grosser ever.

  • @Tejan again crying.Ticket prices r high in Imax theatres only and its normal or just liitle high in other multiplexes and single screens.I know u have not even seen “Dhoom 3” on a single screen where ticket price is just 50 Rs but u r here crying for 900 Rs.lol

  • The growth percentage after every year says it all, business in Bollywood is increasing day by day. Golden time in Bollywood, maybe?

  • Did’nt expected this from Aamir…watched it today…came out unsatisfied…
    The whole story is taken from Now you see me and the prestige..and i have watched those..also some action scenes were very poor..abhishek driving auto over slums…
    Half baked robberies..never in the movie is aamir shown theiving the bank…
    Bike riding on the rope..wow disgusting
    Hardly any role of abhishek,uday…i think they had only 10 dialogues in the film.
    Dhoom and Dhoom2 were much better and thrilling,original as well.

  • The DHOOM essence was missing in this film,Aamir instead tried to put some different storyline in this,but that too was inspired from hollywood flicks…
    Only the emotional angle and aamir’s acting was good.

  • according to boi d3 collect n30 cr…why yasraj give such a fake fig on 1st day nearly 6 cr …..where those hater who shouted rakash is manipulator…

  • YRF is reaping benefits of showcasing Katrina Kaif in all promos and cashing on already popular Dhoom franchise. It’s not just Aamir power. What did he manage in Talaash? Dhoom 3 would have shattered records with any A lister hero in it due to craze of Dhoom franchise.

  • @Tejan is a clear moron.
    Rs. 900 was ticket price only at 5 theaters in India you moron.
    And ticket prices were same as Chennai Express

  • Film name “Bombay Velvet” sounds cool…..next year Christmas release starring ‘Ranbir Kapoor’ and ‘Anuska Sharma’…..lets hope it creates dhoom

  • Cristmas Release when Aamir started to release his films on Christmas.
    2007- Taare Zameen Par with Welcome clash, movie was classics of all time having dual role of Aamir as an actor and director.
    2008- Ghajini- though a remake but best rated Masala flick till date loved by Critics and public as well, first movie ever to cross 100cr mark and 190cr lifetime.
    2009- 3Idiots- Masterpiece, best movie ever in bollywood since sholay, collected 200cr domestic and 393cr wolrdwide.

    2010- Tess maar khan was much hyped and having great collection in weekend but public reation was What is it?
    2011- Don 2 much hyped don series of srk with one of the great director Farhan Akhtar, critics response was avg to good, public response was good to avg, trade and srk fans expecting from this film to break 3I record, but collected 106cr.
    2012- Dabangg2 another sequal of most loving actor Salman Khan’s most loved movie Dabangg again it was expecting to break 202cr record of 3I, though it was a blockbuster but slightly a disappointment as a movie.
    2013- Dhoom 3 biggest franchise,biggest banner,most trusted actor -Aamir khan on his fav season cristmas period, though movie was well made, it might not been loved like 3I but will aprreciate and remeber better than Ghajini.

    Moral- Cristmas period is belong to Aamir whenever he came on cristmas he written the history by appreciation from critics & audience both and collecting huge, set 100cr,200cr and now 300cr with D3. and a masterpiece TZP-64cr (highest Aamir grosser till 2007 inspite of clash with Biggie Welcome-netted 73cr)..

  • You trolled ?#?Dhoom3? Trailers, Songs, Aamir’s height, Aamir’s expressions, .,etc.. and they Trolled you in a Day forever!!

  • dhoom2 hadnt released in multiplexes and at that time in 2006, it was the biggest grosser of the year beating gadar’s record. Congo to aamir, but the so called perfectionist and orginal actor had to rely on The Prestige’ to rip out and copy in his flick. 5000 screens, one month’s time, srk, hr, even akshayand ranbir can do it. So no big deal.

  • @megha Great idea but when I said we should all boycott Crappy Express during EID due to inflated hikes in tickets where was your support then…? :-P

    Lol haterz are in total shock and complete denial… Point in case is ‘tejan’ who is dreaming of stepping inside an IMAX theathre when the cheap lungiwala cannot even afford a ticket for a single screen in Chennai…!
    Stop dreaming big- only Aamir can dream big- example- setting up the 100 cr club- then he dreamt of a bigger dream and created the 200 cr club- now that Thakur and Baby Roshan have congested the 200 cr club, Aamir has dreamt of creating the VVIP Only 300 cr club with Dhoom 3- may God fulfil this dream of a man who dreams BIG…! Amen

  • @sachin11 lol we should all hold a ‘whip round’ for our lungiwala friend ‘tejan’ so he can understand why IMAX is worth 900rupees…!

    But our whip round willbe a desi style whip round- heres how it SHOULD work… I suggest people donate 1 rupee each to him and the donors get a free whip- so basically Tejan will get 900 rupees in donations plus a generous 900 whips too…! Everyones a winner here. Lol :-P

    Some ppl just ask to be treated royally specially when they arent worthy of lungiwala status…! :-P
