Okay, the final box office comparison between the two Diwali releases Jab Tak Hai Jaan and Son Of Sardar, before we begin our extensive coverage of Aamir Khan’s Talaash.
The topic of debate over the last week on social networking websites and in the comments section here - Which film won the Diwali battle? Well, there is no clear winner. Here’s why.
Jab Tak Hai Jaan was expected to beat 3 Idiots. But let’s be realistic, the film would never have crossed 200 crores, even if the word-of-mouth was as strong as Chopra’s last film Veer Zaara. But despite the clash, not-so-popular music and 3 hour runtime – JTHJ has done reasonably well at the box office. Yes, business in India hasn’t been record-breaking, but how many romantic films in recent times have managed to collect half as much as JTHJ has?
The trade was confident Son Of Sardar would do well, and it has. On paper, JTHJ had almost everything in it’s favour – massive star cast, legendary director, oscar-winning music composer and a much wider release. Yet, SOS is likely to end it’s run just 10-15% short of JTHJ’s total.
As expected, the SRK – Katrina Kaif starrer quite easily won the first extended weekend with a lead of Rs 15 crores. Since then, both films have done similar business with SOS putting up better numbers in the second weekend.

none of them are winner ..both are loser
Please note: Few question i wana ask..How many awards salman is got in his life time?…If not then y? What was salmans position before Wanted?…SRK is continuously winning awards and maintained him self as a super duper STAR OF INDIA……Because of him Indian cinema is soo famouse world wide….Respected SRK and Amitji is not a industry child and rest all are hear because of there family background….From Deewana Kabhi ha kabhi na to Bazigar to Darr to DDLJ to Kuch Kuch Hota Hai to Swadesh to Chade India to Jab Tak Hai Jaan….His Acting is un macheble……Salman+Amir+Anyother actor is not even 10% of him……This is the fact………..And for your information SOS is not even close to Jab Tak Hai Jaan…..

WHY EVERYBODY HAS BECOME SILENT NOW???
srk cannot even break ready’s record :P ha ha ha :D JTHJ is a YRF production, directed by yash chopra, written by aditya chopra, music by a.r. rehman, lyrics by gulzar, starring no. 1 actress katrina kaif along with anushka sharma, huge hype, a diwali release, sympathy after yash ji’s death n still srk cannot break any records.. such a shame..
Plz say “BYE BYE” to Mr. SRK………He in gone and gone forever……
before the release of the film srk fans were barking that srk is back in a romantic movie directed by yash chopra, it cant get bigger than this, it will thrash all box office records, it will crush SOS, what happened now???
now that JTHJ has performed below expectations srk fans r giving excuces that it is a romantic film..
I don’t understand. How can there be so much negativity around a person? All his last three movies made 200 cr worldwide still some people calling them flops. It’s just that his movies are doing less business than Salman movies. So does that make all his movies unsuccessful?
I would really like to see Salman doing the kind of movies SRK does that is Urban movies not mass targeted ones and still come with such numbers like 200 cr and 150 cr. Then we will talk about business.
Seriously Salman fans it is one thing to love your favorite actor but you guys can almost go down to any level to bring down who you hate. It’s just pitiful.
everybody see this
JTHJ budget – 60 crores
JTHJ lifetime collections – 115 crores approx
srk’s fees – at least 20 crores (srk will share a percentage from the profits as fees)
therefore the budget of JTHJ – 60+20= 80 crores
how can you call it a superhit???
at best it is a hit…
dnt talk too much about jthj otherwise srk will kill u bcoz after ra 1 he is turn into a psycho and after jthj he completely turn it.so somebody says to shirish kunder that dnt cmnt on jthj. mad man srk….
@ atul – salman khan is the box office benchmark in bollywood.. n if srk calls himself a king, he should first break salman’s record or else stop calling himself a king.. as simple as that
@aakash Dear for your kind information. SRK didnot get any fee from JTHJ. He will get share from only profit. Correct ur information n dont spread negativity. Thanks
why do you care what he calls himself? Your salman can call himself anything he want, we don’t care.
And it’s the media and his fans call him King. I think only couple times he must have called himself King. I don’t think he wears the T shirt saying King everyday.
Har Arooj Ko Zawal Hota Hai
Keep Watching
We will see how long masala movies remain 1st choice.
If Salman attempt an Urban story result Flop. Janeman – Dil Ne Jise APna Kaha – Main Aur Mrs Khanna
If Salman attempt Historic Drama result Flop. Veer
If Salman attempt Family Intense roles with Expression Less Acting result Flop. Yuvraj & Keun Kay
Hmmmm Only Doing Business with the Help of Masala Entertainer lets see how long.
@aakash
why do you care what he calls himself? Your salman can call himself anything he want(for instance King of Rikshawalas), we don’t care.
