‘Don’t believe those records, collections of 200 cr films are fudged’: Aamir Khan

Aamir Khan has once again slammed films in the 200 crore club, saying that the collections of those films are fudged.

Talking to ‘The National’ at the Grand Hyatt in Dubai, Aamir Khan said “Those numbers are fudged. And I am being completely honest with you here – all those claims of films breaking records, it is utter nonsense. In fact, PK is the first film in India to hire the services of Rentrak, a Spain-based company that provides audit services and media measurement. Also, in India, editorial space can be bought, so it’s very easy to have the papers say wonderful things about you. Don’t believe any of it.”

Aamir’s response was to a journalist who asked him about films in the ‘200 crore club’.

Not too long ago, the actor had said “I think that for some reason various people in the film industry feel that by inflating their figures they would convince people. Nowadays you get to buy editorial in number of newspapers which is extremely unfortunate. So what happens is that I can buy editorial and say ,’Mera itna dhanda hua ya utna hua’ (Say my film has earned this much). But its meaningless because when you go home you know how much business the film has done. Even the industry knows exactly how much each film has done. So the market knows, you can’t fool the market. You can try and fool people but how many times will you fool people also. Ultimately you are just fooling yourself.”

Aamir had also said that he doesn’t inflate the collections of his films “I am one of the people who strictly doesn’t give out figures which are inflated”

    You don’t like what he said. Cool. But there are better ways to express yourself. By calling him a burning moron, you have shown your pedestrian sensibility. God bless you!

  • @Tigeress: How do you know that he was talking about K3 and HNY?? He said in general about the films in 200cr club..that also include Kick and D3!!

  • I have no clue why Amir is trying to be cool when he is a part of it..He always make a big deal of his films by throwing garbage on others

  • kick and 3i are not 200cr movies.boi did manipulation to save the reputation of it’s flop stars who were giving giving from 90’s to 2012,2014 like talash,jai ho.

    @ultron,@tiger,Mr perfakeonist is telling about kick which is not a 200cr movie.the reason behind that is how can a star can give a 200cr movie after a disaster called jai ho?he is telling this because he wants to give the highest grosser so he trying to prove kick’s collection fake which is really true.because sallu is a star who can’t make or break any records,he is bollywood’s 2nd most flop giving actor.flop kabhi bhi picha hi nahi chodta sallu ka.disaster sallu ke peeche aur sallu flop me piche,too too.. much fun.actually kick didn’t crossed even 200cr.also how can a movie like 3i have zero difference between producer and trade figures?because they paid to boi and it’s a plan of boi to surpass CE’S collection.only 2 brands KING KHAN ‘s movie and dhoom is above 200cr,rest are manipulated to 200cr.

  • All the fools who are saying that Krrish 3 n Chennai Express didn’t do even 200 crores while Dhoom 3 did 280 crores are morons of the highest order.

    1. Not even one bloody scene in D3 can be called entertaining.

    2. Chennai Express n K3 had competition from Once upon a time in Mumbai dobaara n Ram Leela which did business of 55 and 100 crore respectively. Without the release of these two Chennai Express n Krrish 3 would have both done 300 crores individually.

    3. Dhoom 3 had the advantage of 4 open weeks.

    4. The climax and action of Krrish 3 is 100 times better than the faltu climax of Dhoom 3.

    5. If a production house like YRF can run DDLJ for last 19 years using their clout then how difficult is for them to inflate the collections of Dhoom 3.

    6. The moron who goes by the name of Navin seems to have been kicked out of a mental hospital from Agra.

  • Now, i really don’t like amir. Why every time saying not believe fudging collection and records?
    Ok, amir, when Salman, Hr and srk movie release time you go track collection then you realize. Lol amir this time Raju can’t save the movie. 2006 time is coming D2 80cr and LRM 69cr. History will be repeated. I’m big fan of Raju sir.

  • I cn’t undrstand he is sayin abt Srk or Hr or Salmam
    bcoz if he is sayin abt SRK a point is thinkable that aftr fudging collection of his movies, buying edititorial, payin taxes on fudged collection he stil is the richest actor in india.

    Amir being a gud actor shud nt use cheap publicity. I thnk he always try 2 compare himself with srk or say smthnk without sayin name of srk fr publicity. He should nt do these things bcoz he stil is a gud actor as SRK. So amir dn’t compare urself wid other.

    Compare wid urself as SRK who doesn’t blame any1.

  • Every one knows 10% inflation is ok and that goes 8n a case of all big grossers like kick d3 ce hny i aslo agreed on a question mark of 30 40% difference on bang bang and krish
    But what he is saying only i k honest and all other movies of 200 crrs are just due to fudging???most stupid anf nonsence statement to show the hiegth of jealousy of thos tingo he is saying i k only rite without any evidence he is gone mad such a complexed nature guy

  • @romance, happy to see srk fans admiring hny is nt a 200cr grosser. Now hrithik fans turn to accept the truth for k3…

  • @ullu, the whole world knows the truth……even u said many times that k3 collected 205cr not 244cr…..and also @romance r fan accepted hny is nt a 200cr grosser……#ullu don’t b chame leon.

  • @sss, according to u 113cr collected semi hit is a disaster and 40lakh collected JTHJ is a ATBB…..right???

    If salman can’t giv a blockbuster after a semi hit jai ho……then how srk gav blockbuster like cdi, oso after sum mega disaster like YLJK, paheli etc….???

  • @anand, also say without any release in 2012 CE would hav collected more than 3000cr….!!!
    Dhoom3 got 4 open weeks and ce got 1open week becoz aamir is way bigger star than srk..

  • Some Insecure People talking about Aamir Hiking ticket price For PK, the kind of cinema Aamir Makes even a ticket Costing 1000 is less #PK

  • Aamir tells the truth…for example HNY collected less than 188 cr but the producers said that its 200 cr film.

    In 2014, Only kick did business more than 200+cr

  • He is the only satyawadi harish Chandra of Bollywood & all others are bad this persons is the biggest fake in Bollywood!

  • Yes he is right. No need for haklu’s fans to bark. Because the way they are reacting shows that even they know that Crappy Loser Year hasn’t crossed 200 crores. Holy Shit. Aamir rocks. Saoookh sucks. 800 crores storm is coming.

  • dhoom 3 trade fig and producer fig is similar……

    anyway its true that accurate box office figures arent given by many producers…..high time that as an industry, bollywood evolves and gets a professional & as accurate as possible mechanism for box office figures.

  • @ajay sucks, Yeh HNY (trade) = 185 crore;

    However Action Jackson (trade) = less than 60 crore. hahaha take your jealousy and insecurity somewhere else. Even Shahid who is a flop star and non mass star gave Pradbu Deva 65 crore with R Rajkumar but Ajay cudnt even give 60 core and he is a so called mass star lol. U are just jealous cuz ur star Ajay is nothing without rohit and is now a flop star whose stardom is like an ant compared to SRK;take ur burning jealously somewhere else hater.

  • @ those who are saying CE didnt cross 200 cr. A big lol to u all. Even BOI = 208 for CE. All trade websites and BOI say CE cross 200 and 3idiots. Aamir is just using this statement for pubilicity and again tarnishing his competitors to raise himself up. We will see his stardom come tommoroww. If i ever watch PK it will be for Raju and Sanjay Dutt not this chotu as he has revealed how low he will stoop to make himself look self righteous and everyone else dishonest.

    According to him, then 3 idiots; D3; Kick also didnt cross 200 cr and was fudged. If he acts like such a badjohn and gives big boy talks, he shud name names of films he is talking about.
