Salman Khan has said that he would take the blame if Jai Ho doesn’t pick up at the box office from Monday onwards. Sources say, the actor was in a state of shock after his latest release, directed by his brother Sohail Khan, failed to take a flying start at the domestic box office.
“God forbid, the film doesn’t pick up from Monday, I’ll take the blame on me” Salman told a news channel, a couple of days after the release of Jai Ho .
The actor also admitted that the box office collections are not on par with some of his latest releases.
“The collections are a little lower than some of my previous films. If the collections are not good, it’s my fault that I failed to bring my fans to theatres. The mouth publicity is good and the response has been phenomenal all over, but, I don’t know… maybe because its not a festive week or my fans don’t have the money to go to the theatre”
The superstar also spoke about the music of the film “We thought music will pick up, but only two songs did good”
However, Salman was quick to add that the collections of Jai Ho mean nothing to him, as long as the people are getting the message that the film is trying to convey.
“My mission is accomplished. People are getting the message of the film. And I am happy with the film” he concluded.
Seriously i almost cried…hats off salman frm srk fan

Jai Ho Does Very Well On Sunday
Monday 27 January 2014 10.30 ISTBox Office India Trade Network
Jai Ho had a good weekend thanks to very good business on Sunday which was a national holiday. The film collected 17 crore nett on Friday and 16 crore nett on Saturday and the Sunday total as per early estimates is around 25 crore nett.
This will give weekend figures of around 58 crore nett so despite the initial not quite being that great, the weekend is actually challenging to be the highest ever for a Salman Khan dstarrer epending on what the final total for Sunday is.
Dabangg 2 grossed 58.50 crore nett in three days while Ek That Tiger grossed 56 crore nett and the figures of Jai Ho are around the same as Dabangg 2 depending on the final Sunday total. The business on Sunday has meant that the film has a chance of doing well which did not look the case after the first two days. A lot is dependent on the Monday as the jury is still out on the appreciation of the film as it only did the sort of business it should have on the big holiday while the other two days were below the mark.
The territorial breakdown will be updated around 15.00 IST
@jh..i was thinking not to say anything to u as i lost a bet already for K3 and D3 broke BO collections of CE and i m not even saying anything about jai ho becoz whatever it is i was not disappointed with this movie but now u started attacking SRK again..its something which u guys kept on doing frm last 22 years…do u think people r stupid watching SRK frm 22 years grown old…got married but still watching a 48 year old not a great looking actor like salman or aamir???r u stupid enough to understand that an average movie like CE broke “3 idiots” record just by fluke?? u guys really need to get a life becoz the man who was always there from so many years regardless his Hits and flops still needs to answer u where he was wrong or right…whatever this 3 khans has achieved will be broken some day..sooner or later it will be broken..we all know that but one thing will remain constant ..these 3 has seen the peak like no one has seen ever and if u can’t appreciate it then please don’t disrespect it !
Jai Ho, definitely, worth a watch.
as per reports jai ho has earned around 27 crores on sunday..
Jai ho is salman’s best movie since dabbang
I am a neutral fan who go to watch every other movie. But I like Hrithik a bit more than others. I watched Jai Ho yesterday. I have to say, overall, the movie was nice and left me with a good feeling. So, I have to say it is better than Salman’s recent movies that had less IQ except for ETT. People in the theatre also liked it.
If this movie does not become a Super Hit, then don’t blame Salman for churning out crap films in time to come. You have never given him to do good movies, example being Khamoshi and Phir Milengi.
@Salman fans, do not worry. Not every movie can become a BB. Life is about ups and downs. It will become a super hit in the long run I hope. You should consider that ticket price of Jai Ho were 30%-40% lower than that of CE and Dhoom3 on top of being non-festive and non-holiday release. Number of Screen Count doesn’t matter if it is a normal working day. There are many other factors that hit the business of Jai Ho.
@SRK fans, don’t celebrate for the fact that Jai Ho did not break any records. In stead, you guys should pray for HNY which is also masala flick. People should not celebrate someone’s under performance. If you do that, you may lose many neutral fans like me. By the way, JTHJ, Don 2, Ra.One and MNIK did not collect great, did they? And I pray HNY too become a BB.
It’s good to see Hrithik fans are somehow appreciating the movie and their tastes are similar to mine.

@sahir – ppl are infact fed up (its not ‘feed up’ you illiterate inbred) of you copying n pasting the same rubbish comment on each n every article…!
Get original comments/ dialogues but ofcourse you think you have the right to call another a plagiarism artist but when Sarkar unofficially steals scenes from Hollywood then you call it innovative or being creative with the truth… Zip it you hypocrite- firstly you have numerous IDs which explains why you dont write original comments on each page bcoz you have to switch between IDs and again copy n paste other repetitive garbage laden comments from one page to the next all over again. Hard work no doubt for your feeble mind….! :-P
Secondly buying remakes from the south is a good thing- if bollywood never did it then we would have had no ‘Seeta aur Geeta’ or worse no ‘Ram aur Shyam’…. That would be a travesty as Dilip saab n Hema ji gave wonderful memorable performances. Remakes are good if done brilliantly like Agneepath in 2012 but if done badly then you could a hideous tedious crapgiri film like Don 2006 or worse Devdas 2002 plus a crappy Forrest Gump remake called My Name Is Khan and Im not A Shahrugate…!
@james hey dont worry yourself senseless my overseas living troll fan of Sarkar Rukh Khan… We did indeed get bhais (that means Brother in India) message and the message is loud n clear even for retarded haterz like yourself to understand:-
Bhai RoxXxXx
But incase you forgot your Orc Kings (that means Youtube King aka Sarkar Of Paglapur aka Thakur of Chennai but not Sholay as that is the honourable Sanjeev Kumars jurisdiction/ territory) message from
Forrest Gump remake 2010, let me reiterate it out for you below so you can comprehend n spread it around the overseas territory your King does not rule YET:-
My Name Is Khan And Im Not A Shahrugate
Nice words. Especially this line, “My mission is accomplished. People are getting the message of the film. And I am happy with the film”.
@kamal,don’t blame any SRK fans ever.what you did for SRK fans?if you’re saying yourself neutral. not you only hr fans but also all fans against my KING and supports always sallu and amir and their films.we didn’t request anybody to watch SRK’s film.did you watched all SRK films in theatre that you’ve mentioned.did you think bg,ghajini,wanted,dabang 1&2,jai ho are better than MNIK,Ra One,DON2,JTHJ,CE or you think salman and amir’s acting is better than SRK.and who are you to pray for HNY to become only a bb instead it’ll be an ATBB and will be the highest grosser of year by breaking every record of d3 in domestic and oversea.and how can you say blindly HNY is a mala flick?are you out of mind.sometimes you compare with players/cash.do whatever stop KING KHAN if you can,we will see jai ho if sallu will return all the money to peoples that he earned through all his films and changes the verdict from bbs to disaster.than you can expect something from SRK fans.SRK is not a beggar like others who will want only profit because he is richest among all.we will never forgive all of you for what had done with MNIK,Ra One,DON2,JTHJ.after give good vfx to roshans,what SRK got from his mindless fans,only blame and curse?roshan’s fans blame SRK to hide their failure and mistake.how can SRK change BO figure of K3 even BOI is now salman biased site.now jai ho becomes great for you,what about lallu fans when they spit on every article against all actors.after all jai ho is a 3rd grade movie with same masala crap fights which we hate.only heartless can blame my KING and his films.no one has the ability to act like Rizwan khan in MNIK.his is the proud of India and globalized bollywood if you don’t watch his movie,than what is a more shameful thing for an Indian.
@ SSS: Please for god sake come out of thinking that SRK is King..King is some one who is good in all departments and breaks records with all his movies.
SRK was definately King of overseas which was also broken recently by Aamir Khan. Take Domestic collections he is always on par or below compared with Sallu, Aamir & HR. How can he be King when only one of his movie (CE) was record breaking in last 5-6 years…
This is the attitude of you SRK fan’s that is making all Sallu/ Aamir & HR turn against SRK. Calling somebody King with no major acheivement is rubbish & irritating. if you still keep calling SRK King than dont expect any Sallu/ Aamir & HR to support SRK at any time. Every time we see you arguing supporting SRK we feel we are not talking to human but to a SRK made Robot…
Salman Khan should not have thought of others by lowering ticket price by 40% comparing to CE and Dhoom3. In this society, Newton Law of Reaction for an Action. You were so good to do this. But do you know how people are after the numbers and neglecting your good deed? You should be selfish like other so-called stars. Even then, those who were to watch the film would still watch it.
Numbers of Screens in which Jai Ho was released is said to be 3800 Screens unlike what Taran Adarsh said to be 4300+ Screens. Releasing in more number of screens means audiences are getting shared in respective screens. It was for no good. Before the release of thi film, there were many issues against it and that prevented BO collections. It will still go on to collect 170 Crores..
Lungiwalas of Paglapur, to say in your own way of putting excuses, your Thakur’s film Crappy Express worked because of Rohit Shetty and Deepika Padukone. Don’t just spotlight CE. Look how much JTHJ, Don 2, Ra.One and others earned despite being festive releases. Believe in Karmaa…
@sss : Look at your frustration n words you are typing. Dude, calm down SRK wont share anything with you from his richies n wealth. First ask srk to give atleast 3 consecutive Blockbusters (with any holiday release, maximum screens & open weeks and his favorite genre) compare to Salman 5 Blockbuster then talk about kingship n ATBBs. If the below expectation Jai Ho makes you so frustrated then another Blockbuster from Salman wud have surely made you insane !!!!!! dont worry HNY will be superhit if not ATBB.
I have copied pay it forward…..jai ho!!!!..and im first to report…. am I not great???
@karthik,don’t cry KING KHAN SRK always remain KING.so please for your sake,stop crying.KING will decided as per the whole career not based upon 5year validity collection,neither you could got this title by working on the movies like dhoom series,neither worked in south dubbing series,like ghajini,wanted.bythe way that pseudo neutral fan try to act and convince SRSK fans,otherwise did we SRKians requested any fraud,lallu,tingu fans ever “PLEASE SUPPORT US,KING KHAN IS NEEDING YOU”.lol,get a life.
@karthik,ha ha ha ha ha,did amir break SRK’s 23 international bbs record which he got 8th no. through India’s biggest franchise yrf’s dhoom.I think amir will definitely break those record after his 7th no. birth.or it’s the salman who is no.1 according to you by giving 5continuos bbs who struggle a lot through his 10 continuous disasters before done south remake.so these are the every departments that you’re talking about.oh,I got you want to say about d3,hide behind it until october,because baap of d3 is on it’s way.
@hrithik,what can I say about you,really I’m very frustrated after seeing the record break start of jai ho goes with a below average verdict fate,but I hope it will struggle to pass over kido ranveer’s ramleela.and have a big frustration and doubt whether behan’s eid release kick whether it can struggle to pass over kido ranbir’s yjhd.that’s a big doubt.also so much frustrated about amir’s p.k whether it can pass over talash or not.so sad so much frustration for me this year.really hollywood copy you can see me’s crap dubbing d3 can earn this much,than HNY will be the big daddy of crap3 as showing the previous record of MHN and OSO.so @fraud,wish you a GRAND “HAPPY NEW YEAR”.
why jai ho flopped???seriously a debatable topic. even BOSS failed to tag blockbuster, even when it had all ingredients to be a mass puller with 50 crores touched in just 5 days…still!!! as i’ve mentioned at that time audience have a real bad taste of movies. crap like grand masti, yaariyan, d3 ,krissh3 etc are becoming hits, movies with good story line and messages are going down. its the audience to be blamed. if they love crap, there will be more producers lined up to deliver more crap. just get it!
“My mission is accomplished. People are getting the message of the film. And I am happy with the film” – you copy a film that was copied in first place and call it “your mission” “the message”.. you can fool your stupid dehati fanboys, not everyone.
Srk is a fake king. He couldnt even beat Ready for 3 years.
Such a small star should have retired long back.
He must be be in depression after watching his films getting ‘hit’ verdict when Salman is giving Blockbusters after Blockbusters LOL
All bow down to the Emperor!
@Ashley : Yes, Jai Ho is remake but how many Indians know about Stalin n Pay It Forward or this noble message before Salman signed Jai Ho? I believe this question is enough to prove what Salman is capable of.
@sss : keep barking same thing on every page. Now you making fool of yourself !!!!
copies will never be hits… mediocre acting with foul music will never be hit… I wonder why all kids in hindi nay telugu inspired hindi films are precocious??? why heroines mouth off stupidity?? why are they naïve and fall for the hero from the first scene??? sadly the south indian humour which is fake doesn’t gel in the hindi films!!! but these idiots keep on making such duds like boss rowdy rathore bodyguard and now this peiece of shit!!1
