Aamir Khan’s PK has raced ahead of Shahrukh Khan’s Happy New Year in just 9 days after its release on 19th December.
A combination of different factors has worked big time for PK. The trust amongst the audience in Aamir Khan, the Rajkumar Hirani factor and tremendously positive word-of-mouth publicity has worked big time for the film.
Aamir has not only become the top star in India, but he has also started dominating the overseas markets – in fact, his records will be difficult for any actor to surpass in the next couple of years. The founder of the 100 crore, 200 crore and most likely the 300 crore club, could be reliving his ‘Ghajini’ and ‘3 Idiots’ days, what with ‘Dhoom 3’ and now ‘PK’ taking film business to an altogether different level.
