  • Releasing a Bollywood movie in China is not easy.

    China only allows 30 Foreign language films to release every year, out of which 25 are reserved for Hollywood. Rest 5 are constituted with Indian and Japanese movies.
    Also, the window for release in China is very limited. I am still not sure if BB would release in China.
    What worked for Aamir’s PK was his goodwill in China due to 3 Idiots and D3(Yes D3 even, average user rating of D3 on Chinese website Douban was 8.4). This allowed huge screen count for PK. WOM+Aamir’s popularity helped PK earn 130 crores in China. Check QUORA if you wish to know Aamir’s popularity in China. They are mad for him!

    Salman is almost non-existent in China. Even if BB released there, I’m not sure if it will earn a lot. SRK too tried his luck in China but only collected 1.68 crs. due to zero popularity in the country.

    Salman fans, just bcoz PK earned huge in China doesn’t mean every superstar’s release in China would earn the same.

  • 1990-2000 superstar
    Salman khan(due to sucesses like
    Saajan,HaHk,Jeet,Judwa,Karan Arjun,Biwi
    no.1,HSSH,HSDCS,Baaghi,Pyaar kiya to darna
    kya,CCCC)I have not mentioned MPK becoz it
    was released in 1989 2000-2010 superstar
    SRK
    (Swades,devdas,Mohabatt,K3G,CDI,OSI,RNBFJ,
    KHNH,MNIK,VZ,don,etc)Almost every film sucess
    Not salman due to several controversies So sad
    to hear being a Huge Salman khan fan Still he had some sucesses like Tere Naam,HTHS,Garv,no
    entry,MPKK,Baghban,Partner,MSK)
    I knew aamir only after Ghajini Sorry Aamirians
    Cannot Say after 2010 Salman and aamir at
    almost same level Salman Due to Bigger number
    of Blockbusters and Aamir DUe to Huge box office numbers
    If PRDP suceed like BB, Salman will lead aamir
    Hands Down

  • if prdp makes 300, SALMAN WILL MAKE DOMESTIC EARNING OF 2000 CR IN LAST SEVEN YEARS FROM WANTED. Worldwide will be close to 3200cr in last seven years. This is the power of emperor salman with last eight of nine releases going to become blockbusters. Srk ruled 2000-2009 & ruled overseas but could not give an atbb domestic in that period nor 1000cr overseas in his entire career.

  • @JC You do know that BB broke every record SRK had in foreign countries. It took only 1 film for Salman Khan too break Insecure Khan(SRK). While SRK had many films but could never reach that lvl.

  • @james

    What is your age? 7? or 8?

    Where were you when Andaz Apna Apna released?
    Where were you when Raja Hindustani became an ATBB?
    Where were you when Lagaan was nominated for Oscars?
    Where were you when Rang De Basanti was nominated for BAFTA?
    Where were you when TZP became a cult blockbuster on Aamir’s directorial debut?

    Do not get so blind in Salman worship. If I came out and started talking about Salman, you would need to hide your face.

  • Excellent. I am overjoyed at the success of BB because the humanity aspect of the film ? is what is drawing people to the film. Mankind is tired of violence and wars revenge and hatred their hearts ? are crying out for love, something to give them the desire and hope that love, forgiveness, still exists. Those that love ? their families want to learn more on love ? and how to care for each other. Such is the movie BB if this film continues on its run ? it will have no boundaries for GOD will use it mightily to unite hearts ? around the world. May God bless the team for a job well done.

  • @james chameleon, get lost loser you are nothing but a clown. How would you know aamir before 2008 as you were sent to mental asylum for 20 years having a brain of 30 years older than your age. Still you are same psycho and no one can save you. God bless you paycho chameleon. Aamir khan was megastar, is megastar and always remain biggest megastar. Jobless, slums like you cant do anything to his unmatchable popularity. So shut your mouth and get lost.

  • I think bb was the best movie of 2015 along with piku. They both will win all the awards this year. If prdp do business of more than 250 cr on the box office then salman will be way ahead of his contemporaries especially on domestic box office. I am waiting for both prdp and dilwale this year.

  • This is all due to hard work of Kabir, Nawaz, Harshali, Kareena, Crew and Salman !!!!!!!!!
    Way to go BB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @Stark : You are absolutely true. I like your comments very much, despite SRK fan you are saying nothing but truth. Hope other SRK fans learn from you. I have always liked SRK in character roles. It is high time he stop working with Rohit Shetty and Farah Kind of directors !!!!!!!!

  • I request some Salman fans not to post comments like SRK fans posted in past. Let us give the credit to entire crew rather just crediting Salman Bhai !!!!!!!! No one can replace or will be like him our support and love will remain forever with him but not let us not carried away with this and appreciate everyone’s efforts !!!!!!!!!! :-))

  • @hrithik I can understand your love for Salman, I can understand that you are his die hard fan, but at the same time you should also have to take a stand if your fellow slaman fan like @james bashed the best friend of your idol than you cant keep quiet. I have always supported Salman when his haters like SSS, phenom, AKN, javes used to bash him before BB release. I even bashed the fake chameleon @king aamir khan who was bashing Salman before BB release as I was indeed very hurt to see anyone bashing Salman who is not only a friend of aamir but also my 2nd favorite actor. But I am really shocked to see that nobsalman fan including you are taking a stand against this chameleon @james who has been spreading negativities regarding aamir. Really I am proud of you all.
    Cheers.

  • @hritik
    i hav always likd srKAY in charactr roles..LOL..rahul/raj that’s sarook what ever character she plays

  • @rew1 @komal @sky Whatever I am Writing are all the fact.For you ,I may be chameleon But The truth is I have never seen any Aamir movies except ghajini,3 idiots and PK. All of them were nice movies,But Seriously, I didnt know Aamir until 2008.But yes I knew SRk becoz he starred alongside megastar salman in Karan arjun,My intentions were not to hurt any Aamir Fans Except @eric who is actually an abhisek fan pretending to be an amir fan and always trying to Bash Salman directly or Indirectly.He is such a chameleon that even Force some loyal Salman Fans like @Hrithik to Bash Aamir

  • @james you lied, who started it the whole indicine knows. It wad you tushar kapoor fan who pretended ti be Salman fan and creating all these troubles. You are illiterate garbage. First tell me who knows you? You are nothing but a fag, garbage illiterate slum. No one cares weather you knew aamir before 2008 or not as he was always considered much better actor and achieved than Salman. You are tushar kapoor fans so get lost and dont pretend to be Salman fan.

  • @Rew1 : I neither supported nor bashed @james. The reason is @Eric, this guys thinks praising Aamir for great script sense or calling him a Perfectionist is an abuse. He never bashes ids like Dangal Disaster and some SRK fans like @sss @I am AKN who always abuses Aamir and always wants to fight with Salman fans !!!! If he is a true Aamirian he would have bashed Dangal and tha moronic duo instead of Salman fans. I support you as well !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)
