  • @The Phenom HAKLUji needs diwaali, Christmas, eid all festivals but still fails to give highest grosser of the year. while king aamir with only Christmas is enough to give 4 ATBBs and ATHGs. so shut your freaking mouth. without diwaali, Christmas, eid, big star cast and YRF/Dharma/Rohit hakluji is the real tingu with flops and disasters like yeh lumhe judaai ke, paheli, billu, etc. even dharma’s MNIK without diwaali, Christmas and eid was just a small hit. And by the way talaash was a clean hit you amateur foolish freak.

  • @Legend Aamir khan wow great job mate. what a tight kick to to the a$$ of those freaks. sarookh has given biggest hits with only diwaali, Christmas and eid. while king aamir has not only given ATBB but also highest grosser of the year twice without any festival I.E. Dil and RH. both were non festival releases and still were highest grossers of 1990 and 1996.
