Reactions and collections are not matching up: Salman

Salman Khan’s latest release ‘Jai Ho’ has been received well by the audience in theatres, but the superstar says the box office collections is not matching up to the response the film is getting inside theatres.

“This time we are also confused because the reactions inside the theatres and the collections are not matching up. So it’s very strange thing”

“We have done something different, may be people were expecting a film like Dabangg or Ready.. like a full time pass film to enjoy. Some must have understood that Jai Ho is not that kind of film, this is a serious film with a social message” Salman said.

The actor also reiterated that the blame for the film’s mixed response is on him.

“I will only say that the credit or the blame for my film should come to me and not to anybody else. Perhaps I have failed in bringing in the people”

With statements like these, we wonder why Salman is trying to bring his own film down. After all, Jai Ho has managed to collect around 68 crore in its first 4 days at the domestic box office and should easily cross the 100 crore mark – not too bad for a film that was considered to have opened poorly last Friday.

  • Your pathetic acting never deserved those records, which you enjoyed with your recent craps. Now accept the fact that your honeymoon period is over. Now whatever you will do, it will have the same fate. Your pre-wanted, pre-dabangg days are returned back.

  • What Salman says is right. You need to check out what he stated in Kapil’s show.

    After a long time I saw people clapping at dialogues of movie in theatres.

    So, the wom is not mixed, but better, but since it is non holiday period may be people not turning out in numbers.

    But the collection is pretty decent for a movie which is not a masala entertainer, has an avg director, no good music, no big co-stars and yet making 60 cr in 3 days, only on the power of Salman.

    Jai Ho!!!

  • everyone out there..it doesn’t matter what you say… monday collections proved that jai ho is there to stay…will definitely cross 150cr….will earn 150-175cr….
    & if you check indicine predictions…..it clearly states that if jai ho earns 160+ it will be a super-hit….
    so it’s a 6th back to back superhit for SK… (though i do believe its the only worth watching film in recent times)
    here is the link for jai ho prediction

    so haters cry on……

  • @crap srk ki Flop Ho- You must be confused- pre wanted there was Partner, pre Partner there was No Entry, Pre No Entry there was Mujhse Shaadi Karoge, Pre Mujhse Shaadi Karoge there was Tere Naam, Pre Tere Naam there was Hum Saath Saath Hain…. I mean with that kind of list of Super Duper Hits and BlockBusters why would anybody fret at all…..

    You should be more concerned about Sarkar Rukh Khan….! His next is a sequel of CASH- a flop film… It may be a HIT only this Diwali due to superstar Deepikas and Abhisheks presence only…

    Pre Crappy Express there was Maya Memsaab remake Jab Tak Hai Mojo, pre JTHM we had Don Wannabe Again Part 2- a hit film only, pre that we had Abhisheks Raavan remake called RaRa Point One- a suspiciously labelled Hit…. Not much to shout home about so dont worry about Salman bhai as he will inevitably bounce back with a bang but worry more about Thakur who will revert back to making unofficial plagiarised crapgiri films..! :-P

  • Film is on the way of 140-150 crs lifetime which will make it Salman’s 6th film to do so.

    No other actor did it even twice except Aamir.

    Excepting CE no other SRK film crossed 120 crs line.
    Same thing with Hrithik,Ranbir & Akshay who has only 1 film each.

    So at the end Salman going to cross 125 crs line 6th time in a row.
    2 times with non-holiday release.

    After thinking all this i cant stop my laugh on people who saying that Salman’s time is over…!

    Come on guys lets chill.

  • why there is a claim of being different this time….because there was no difference in his past 4-5 movies and this…..same south remake…same maar dhaad….just enforcing a so called social message in between a movie which is copy paste of your previous movies doent make it differnt…!!!!

  • He is saying that film is not up to the mark becos after the release of Chennai express, Salman said that his next film would break the record of chennai express… I hope everyone remembers it…

  • 68 crore in 4 days and will only end up around 130 crores isn’t flop but it’s just strictly average and far off from coming close to any records.

  • Jai Ho have a good story,script..Average direction,screenplay..
    But Salman has done a great job and Noble message from this movie made me cry..
    But music is not that great..Hope it will atleast got blockbuster verdict..
    Review:3.5/5 Stars..(1.5 star cut because of average music,direction and Daisy shah)..Lifetime Collections may be 160+cr..

  • @na vining. lol. tere naam and mujhse shaadi karogi were super hit. ??????? guess the constipated look of tingu has seriously damaged Ur nonsensical brain. seriously I wonder if there was one.
    u bhojpuri fans can only give excuses.
    ya sorry tell lallu to do the towel scene. some of his fans might come back.
    lallu back to what he does best. cry. lolz

  • I watched Jai Ho here in Malaysia. I liked it very much. Ticket Price in Malaysia: Jai Ho- RM10, CE & Dhoom 3 RM15. I feel Jai Ho should be compared with MNIK, Ready,Taalash, Agneepath, YJHD. Not with Dhoom 3, CE or K3.
    Yes, it failed to meet people’s expectations because people had over-expected from a non-holiday and non-festive release. There are many factors that are against the movie as well. It will emerge as a Super Hit in the long run.

  • when films like ra.one, don2, jthj come on holidays n festive season with big banners, big directors, big heroines, over the top promotions n get only ‘hit’ status then lungiwalas have no problem.. n here they are talking about salman!

  • aamir and Srk have 2 films which made 100 crores overseas….. how much your Salman has?….
    dont always consider domestic collection…
    look at worldwide gross……

  • @adz… it’s difficult…but not impossible….let us wait and watch…if it collects 150+ even than it’s a superhit….
    & i clearly stated 150-175cr…..so lets wait and watch…..moreover, 4 weeks collections are confirmed as final….not 1-2 weeks….. so jai ho has time….& it ll collect IA…

  • if you copy ideas from Hollywood films don’t wxpect them to work everytime/…loud south indian film remakes are hated by us

  • No salman,the blame should be put upon some die hard fan of urs who is still trying to be a being human.it will take time turning them into human being.
    But I wonder which difference he is talking about. I have found more fat heroine and more worse a director.

  • Most important, I agree it has a nice message but that doesn’t mean it falls in the category of serious film either.
    @navin,veer was more nice than jai ho .salman did good job as veer rather than jai .but jai ho is doing great.it’s u who thought jai ho will broke dhoom 3 record.it’s an below average movie in which genre salman fans never ever except him.so better luck next time for kick.

  • Though this film isn’t holding up as well as a Salman starrer should, it will certainly bolt past 100cr, unlike other actors who struggle to reach 100cr, so Salmans stardom cannot be questioned. Jai Ho will be Salman’s 6th 100cr grosser in a row. Something that no other actor has achieved. Hrithik Roshan and Aamir Khan are a bit of a distance from this. The next in line is none other than King SRK.

  • ITS NOT THAT BAD!!!
    BUT IF YUH HADN’T FLIMED TOO MUCH UNUSUAL ACTION THEN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT MUVIE TO WATCH

  • music doesnt matter, the only thing that affected jai ho is the director…. salman should have choosen a big director for this film & not his crap brother sohail….

  • @nobody noname- guess what you right loser- the towel scene may bring fans back to theatres if bhai was to incorporate it in his next film but should thakur bring back his bare butt antics from Maya Memsaab in crappy CASH sequel then that would scare away the lungiwslas…!

  • @akshay Guess you here coz you saw a film has earned 60 cr approx and autimatically presumed it had to be one your films right…? Wrong buddy-60 cr is just the weekend figure and not lifetime figure similar to those of your last few flops like Boss, OUATIMD, K786 etc etc…! :-P

  • Every Tom, Dick & Harry is predicting future of Salman. Dont worry he is going to stay n smash B.O again. Warning to haters : Salman has taken two steps back to lash a powerful Kick on haters. Wait n Watch !!!!!!
