  • @Tejas, if you calculate the math, JTHJ performed on par, maybe better… You’re just another regular Salman fan that overlooks facts and logic. Quite a way to represent your star LOL =D !

  • Haha such shameless Srk fans ever they are givin excuses has less screens and long runtime like jthj lifetime business was 200cr plus. . . Jealous Srk fans every calculation Wht u people givin is applicable if its lifetime business is high and openin or opening weekend business is low but in actual both openin and lifetime business is low. . . Ans me logically to dis quest specially mr jeet

  • @jerry. Yes, india lost to bangladesh in the 2007 world cup but it was more because of india’s underplaying. In other words india lost the match rather than bangladesh winning it. bangladesh team 3 match jeet ne se indian team nahi bansakthi hai. Just look at these stats: india vs bangladesh
    7 tests – 6 won by india & 1 draw.
    24 ODIs- 21 won by india & 3 by ban.
    1 t20- won by india.

    srk’s fan following in india = population of bangladesh and salman’s fan following = india’s population – bangladesh’s population.

  • @hamza khan. Buddy, jthj+sos on a diwali in india in 4500+ screens = 15crores + 9.5 crores = 25 (approximately) while dabaang 2 on a non- holiday friday in some 3500 screens = 21 crores. All figures are approximates.

  • U can give dis reason to 3 idiots like less screen and long run time Bcoz 3 idiots life time busines was high 200cr plus . . Guys remember one thing collections are increased by audience not by screens. . . If there is a audience then surely screens will be ful and very importantly lifetime collection will be high . . So dnt give stupid lame reason to support Srk. .

  • @Fact…lifetime collections of dabangg 2 is yet to arrived..
    and i have not talked abt lifetime collection.it might be possible that lifetime collection of D2 is more than JTHJ.
    i have commented on this article posted by indicine “dabangg 2 VS JTHJ”
    actually , there is no comparison b/w these two movies.
    why…i have answered it in my previous comment.
    so plz don’t relate it to lifetime collections.

  • Whoa my buddy @NVS :D since when did SOS come into the picture ? A film depends independantly upon its potential . . So basically your argument is futile.

    Regards

  • Abe srk ko bolta jthj ko is time release karne ke liye 1000% guaranteed deta hoon ki opening collection 10cr bhi nahin jata sa@la 100cr dene ki a@kad nahi aur diya bhi to kaise girte padte ajay se jhagda karke yash ji ka murder karke p@rn scene dalke abe tumhare srk ki a@kad ek bh!akari se bhi kharab hai.

  • tell your srk release movie with more screens take single release for two weeks no other major release one more make film shot make chennai express for only 1hr 30mins ya I hope then it will cross the READY life time collection 128-crores

  • @Fact, if you speak of 3 idiots (2009) that released in less screens and had a longer runtime, but still emerged as the highest ever grosser. Than I’ve one unresolved question. Why didn’t ETT (2012), with every possible advantage manage to cross 3 Idiots’ lifetime collection ? ? ?

  • If some one give reason for 3 idiot that it had smal openin no. Or weekend no. Bcoz of less screen and long run time then its 100% Bcoz the audience who didnt seen in 1st day or weekend day they have seen in 2 weeks . . The important thing is 3 idiots had less screens but it had huge audience to see it . . . Got it .

  • @ srk fans – dabangg released with 1800 screens in 2010 and collected 145 crores.. jthj released with 2500 screens and collected 100 crores in 2012 with increased ticket prices, diwali release, directed by yash chopra, yrf production, music by a.r. rehman, lyrics by gulzar, starring no. 1 actress katrina kaif, huge hype, srk’s best genre romance.. shame on srk

  • Jeet. . Obviously it matters lifetime collection Bcoz ur givin excuses that it had less screen less show so in this ur sayin that it had huge audience to watch it on 1st day and the screens are fulled to 100% occupancy stil there are enough audience who wants to watch it on 1st day itself but they didnt get it due to less screens . . But dude jthj 1st day occupancy was 50 to 55% acc boi . . Wht u givin reasons is logically wrong

  • @Fact…i think u r not getting me properly..
    i am just talking abt that particular day..not abt lifetime nor abt other days.
    if occupancy of JTHJ is less..still it is good for it as with such a less occupacy..it managed to collect the same amount which is collected by dabangg 2 with approx. 1000 more screens.
    and if we talk only abt screens then it’s not fair as length of the movies are also different.
    so .logiacally i am correct…:)
