China collections of PK furthers my belief that content is king: Hirani

Aamir Khan’s PK is the highest grossing film in the history of Indian Cinema. The film has smashed records in every country where it has released.

The response in China, where the film got a wide 4600 screen release, is outstanding. PK has collected Rs 90 crore in the neighbouring country and should eventually cross the 100 crore mark.

Rajkumar Hirani, the director of the film, says he never imagined that PK would be received so well.

“I had never imagined that ‘PK’ would be received so lovingly in China. A rating of 8.8, a 4,600-screen release and business as huge as of North America. It furthers my belief that content is king.”

‘PK’ is also the highest grossing Indian film in North America, Australia, New Zealand and Pakistan.

  • Aamir khan Is the best. Is record ko todne main 5 saal aur lagenge.. Pk 700 Cr worldwide. We love U Mr perfectionist..

  • Yeah content is king but even good content cannot save Akki kumar. Baby also had good content but flopped and couldnt cross 100 crore. Afterall he is a talentless and expressionless actor.

  • I also believe in this statement but i also believe that only content is not enough and it also needs the support of Holiday periods . Dabangg, Bodyguard, Ek Tha Tiger, Dhoom 3 and PK all these movies have been Highest Grossers in the last 5 years and all have been Holiday releases . The day a movie released on a Non Holiday will be an All Time Grosser then i will completely believe in this statement . The next time i want Rajkumar Hirani to give a solid movie something like Munnabhai MBBS and 3 Idiots and not like PK .

  • Let us all take a moment to laugh at the 3.7 Billion fans of the so-called GLOBAL KING. ??

  • copy of omg movie. omg is 100 times better than this overrated pk. khans r media created n over hyped. khans r nothing except holiday release n 5000 screens.

  • Yeah raju again proved himself he is one of the best masala film director of India.yeas as I said he agreed not is the king,and further THE BRAND—-KING SRK us also THE KING.and because if these 2KING,film’s success becomes possible.now amir/salman fans should understand amir is nothing with out raju hirani.

  • Why is there no title bigger than ‘All Time Blockbuster’?
    CE earned 425 and PK 715, yet both are given the same title of ATBB.
    PK should be given Mega ATBB/ Humongous ATBB/ Gigantic ATBB etc. which would be more appropriate.

  • almost doubled kick and hny collection.acc to trade fig.kick-361cr and hny -336 cr.and pk-700cr** worldwide.

  • I don’t think crappiest unofficial remake of OMG pk work only because of content ( what’s content everyone taken about? pk is a romantic and comedy film not content oriented film)
    pk work huge because of romantic content with comedy which most people ( specially younger boys and girls who love romantic film a lot) like to watch this kind of film more.

    crappiest unofficial remake of OMG PK also work because it was released in long holiday period (last 15 days of year) where most of indian people are in holidays and enjoy most of time with their family and friends and go to catch movies etc.
    so naturally any film can do huge during this period be it content film or be it commercial film or be it kind of film (good or bad)

    in case of Crappiest PK ,content is king and here the master plan of romantic comedy film work too big level

    as for overseas, it is marketing working big time, in different time they release it with master plan with huge and huge screening to nation to nation.

    so any superstarry film can do huge with massive marketing in overseas.

    CONTENT IS NOT KING HERE

  • ab manipulation mein bhi ye record tutna impossible.srk starts grand promotion 1yr ago.chartbuster songs,multi starcast ,100 cr heroine,slam tour,biggest holiday,1st day manipulation 6 cr ,2nd and 3rd day manipulation upto 3cr.after sunday 2cr manipulation for the week to make publicity .and lftime-hny-176cr

    CONTENT IS NOT KING HERE

  • @all perfaketionist…this movie originaly belongs to Ranbir Kapoor but Amir beg to RAJU bhai to cast him…Ranbir would have been Super star if he starred in it…chekc Raju interview in Komal…Amir khan cheap actor…chor..
    this 700 cr is gross figures not net…jada khush hone ki jaroorat nahi..silly chaps…HAHAHA

    dear SSS you are right this Ullu or half actor fans kuch jada hi ud rahe hai…SRK ne kuch jada hi space di hai…let FAN release and let see

  • Aamir makes me WOW everytime.What a performance,what a direction and what a script!! Such a magic was bound to happen after putting so much of hard work and efforts.Aamir is taking Indian cinema to a completly different level.Hats off to both Aamir and Hirani!

  • Congo Congo Congo to Hirani and Aamir.

    Hail Indian Cinema’s true globalstar – Aamir the perfectionist Khan

  • Real Superstars are SRK and Salman !
    And another Khan is false-lesson preaching wannabe classic actor , who always releases his films on Christmas , that too working with another crap classic director Hirani !
    KING rocks , BHAI rocks !

  • Content indeed is KING which explains why our Global Queen is investing so much time in perfecting his Content Driven Content Rich Billu FAN…! Lets hope Sarkar has better luck with a content film as his previous brand filled films have been huge disappointments….

  • Ya we all know know that content is king allover ,and some fools think their star is the only reason for the film to be successful in worldwide .
    But without a gud script and gud star cast there is only one man who can make the film hit and he is non other our real king salman khan.

  • 100cr in China… Outstanding n to put this into perspective Our Greedy Joker cant even score 100cr in India with content (baby) and crappy (gobar) films so fat chance of doing it in overseas…!

  • No one can deny this fact..700 crore worldwide is not a cakewalk..it can only be achieved if there is super strong content which PK had
