Finally it has come down to the biggest box-office battle in a long long time. Shahrukh Khan’s Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi opened great and continues to do good business, but the Ghajini cyclone is set to storm the country on Wednesday. While Rab ne.. was promoted mainly as a SRK – Adi film after 8 years.. Aamir Khan has almost single handedly managed to create all the hype, as neither his co-star Asin nor the director A R Murugadoss is known to Bollywood buffs.
The industry speaks on both SRK’s Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and Aamir Khan’s Ghajini
Atul Mohan of Complete Cinemas.
“The film is going to rewrite box office history as far as the openings are concerned. It’s also helping the film to achieve the record number of prints it is releasing with. Ghajini is an action thriller, a genre which generally attracts the masses more than the families but with the hype that Aamir has managed to create and of course the promos, both families as well as the masses desperately want to watch it as soon as they can.”
Senior Trade Jounalist
“At least Rs 55- 60 crore net gross is expected from the eight day first week of Ghajini. Even if the film turns out to be a turkey, with the super strong opening that it is all set to get, the rights holders Studio 18 need not have a single reason for worry. If one decides to compare it with Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, then in the music department, Rab Ne has scored over Ghajini but despite that this masala film is going to do much more business than the King Khan starrer. The collections of this film should probably prove who the real number one is between the two Khans – Aamir or SRK?”
Some Box office Numbers for Ghajini
The advance booking in terms of money generated is 2.5 times more than any other film. What we will witness with the release of Ghajini is a milestone in the hindi film industry as far as opening goes just Gadar is a milestone in terms of all India business and DDLJ is a milestone in terms of its historic long run. The opening weekend of Ghajini may well be 35-40 crore nett while the week could end up with 55-60 crore nett if the film sustains. The film is heading for simply mindboggling figures that nobody could have even thought of before this week.
In South India
“There is extreme craze for the film in both the states of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. As we all know Ghajini was originally a Tamil super hit and that it was also dubbed in Telugu. In both these languages it went on to shatter box office records. The Ghajini fans down South now want to see how Aamir has done justice to the role made famous by Tamil star Surya. Aamir is amongst the few very popular Bollywood actors amongst the youngsters in the South and with South starlet Asin too making her Hindi debut in Ghajini, they are waiting for Ghajini’s release. Bangalore center too is expected to see good collections for the film.”
Aamir Khan has succeeded in creating hype, of the level that has never been witnessed before. While the war of words continue between the two legends.. Lets wait and watch, which way the SRK vs Aamir Khan battle goes!
I love the King Khan. I am his great fan from Nepal from district Jhapa. To compare him with Amir is to compare a tiger with cat.
SRK is the best.
Sharukh is a legendry star of bollywood who is the ornament of India. He cannot be compared with anyone. The whole India should be proud of him.
what ever srk is the best but aamir khan also but not more than srk khan ….. srk khan is a gr8 personality…
srk is the king of the bollywood
the king of bollywood is one and only shahrukh khan no one can beat him and no one can compare with him even amir except amitabh.. after amitabh the boss is the shahrukh…….
and last a many many happy returns day srk and alway be success……..and rule this bollywood..
at anuj ……
first of all let me inform u that ranbir is just a child in this bollywood having age 2 years ………. who start his career with flop and who haven’t given any single hit.. so my friend anuj how can this failure define the king of bollywood the srk…and the acting …..
well ranbir debute from sawariya which was flop just because of om shanti om so thats all the statement from the big loser…….
do u know whose son is this ranbir ??? he is standing in this bollywood just because of his family… the srk is the one who is came from the hard struggle…. so he is still nothing in bollywood and no one pay any interest in this failure word..
srk is the king of bollywood happy birth day to u ….. the world with u …………
this is the comment of gaurav and i’m completely agree with him thank u very much gaurav..

The verdict is clearly out , based on box office collections and commerical success alone, there is only one true Badshah of Bollywood, none other than King Khan SRK himself!
And as a prominent fan and logical analyst of the community, Zaphod correctly pointed out if overseas collections are taken into account ,SRK could very well be sleeping for the next five years and still wind up on top.
ab boliye kon hai no.1……………….
King khan is the Best
Plz don’t compare the great SRK with an average actor Amir. The no of filmfare award achieved by them is a real judgement. SRK has won 7 and Amir only 2.
Shahrukh is great !
I think aamir always think how to abuse srk to make himself no. 1
Aamir is stupid.He need to walk a way long to come even closer to badshah.
Everybody wants to compare him with SRK.
Badshah khan is only one the world.
SRK rockssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
There is no comparison with srk. He is king. Though amir is very good . But Srk is outstanding.
he said that amir is the actor and star where as shahrukh just a superstar what a stupid comment by him so who has acted in ddlj devdas chak de swades my name is khan asoka and brought the awrds is it amir
amir neither star nor actor
he is just overrated and copy hollywood script and claim to be his and he is arrogant by never attending award functions
akele hum copied from krammer vs krammer
tare zamen par from the 400blows
raja hindustani from phool ki kagaz
ghajini from momento
and the list is long so where is you actor
shame on u fans of this plagurist called actor
even the song of his movies ar copied
especly mann songs
chek it up
kalin jisi kaili from rachid taha ya ryaeh win msafr
nashahi pyar ka from the italian song by eros ramasotti and many more
chaha hai tujko from roja by ar rahman
SRK pichle 20 saalo se no. 1 hai. he is the most talented and versatile actor of b’wood. aur jaha tak amir ki baat hai, filmo me sirf hair style change krne se koi actor nhi ban jata. SRK IS BEST.
Out of all the three films, if we had to to pick one.. It’d be Don 2.. Farhan Akhtar is exceptionally talented.
About Yash Chopra film, didn’t really like Veer Zaara. Is today’s generation still interested in watching Yash Chopra’s romantic films? Let see..
srk is the kinnnnnnnnnnnng.he is the best.aamir khan and akshay are their son in acting.
Obviously SHAHRUKH is a best for ever and ever then aamir.. Cause Shahrukh act in 50 Movies till now and He Give Us 38 Movies are Hit but Amir act in 42 Movies till Now but He Give us Only 20 Movies Hit… So The percentage of hit list is Shahrukh Have 76% and Amir Have 48%….. So Of course SHAHRUKH IS A BEST AND HE IS THE KING OF WORLD
