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.

@ sahir – i have mentioned in brackets that srk will share from the profits.. whatever share he takes will be considered as fees.. out of 115 crores he will at least take 20 crores or higher.. this amount should be added to the budget which brings the budget to 80 crores
@ atul – from the time srk has started his film career he’s been ranting that he is the king of bollywood n no. 1 actor of bollywood in his interviews in print n media.. all i m saying that if he is really the king then the box office numbers should show it.. have u ever heard the likes of great dilip kumar n amitabh bachchan ever calling themselves the king of bollywood n no. 1 actor of bollywood???
SRK the name is not Lesser then Dalip Sahab n Amit Ji Mind it.
Critic n Aam Janta always calling three Super Duper Stars of Indian Cinema
Dalip Sahab, Amit Ji n The Great King SRK
Greatest joke of the Millenium..Ra. One and JTHJ is hit mvie…despite all the tricks…getting more screens JTHJ manged to collect only 10 crores more……Oh god JTHJ such a boring movie…it is not worth to collect even 10 crores..just like Ra. One
@aakash
No need to bring Dilip Kumar and Amitabh in all this. The fact is even after giving back to back hits no one calls Salman king. And that’s what is hurting you. You know why nobody calls Salman king? Because he is not. as simple as that…
again indicine biased…no clear winner &
how many romantic films in recent times have managed to collect half as much as JTHJ has?
plz indicine how many romantics films hv released in recent times & how may of them had SRK…
i just love DDLJ,MPK,Mohabbatien,K2H2,KHNH…all were gr8 romantic movies…
plz answer me indicine if you had to come up with such statement
how many romantic films in recent times have managed to collect half as much as JTHJ has?
then what was your’s box office prediction of JTHJ….was that just a ????
plus one more thing it doesn’t matter how much a movie earns in overseas…all that matters is net indian collection….
Even my fvr8 movie Lamhe did well overseas…but was a dud at that time (no matters it’s one of the finest (Yash ji) movie i hd seen from my view point)
grow up indicine & come with something that’s absorbing rather than trash….
fake collections….jthj collected onli 92 cr aftr second weekend..it will wrap under 105 cr ,that is less than barfi
srk fans like srk words only SALMAN only support him when he came to mumbai check KBC and youtube srk told himself but after earning money and fame he forget everything such cheap person he is.
@ atul – now here comes a typical stupid srk’s fan comment.. as far as salman is concerned he is way way ahead of srk.. genuine superstars like salman never make bogus claims like srk but r modest.. srk is nothing more than a trash.. salman khan is way beyond adjectives like king etc. etc. .. salman khan is already a king in the hearts of millions across the globe n will continue to do so forever n ever
@ atul – n i know the thing that is hurting u is that srk cannot even break ready’s record.. LOL :D :P
present era dilip kumar/intense actor – aamir khan
present era amitabh bachchan/angry young man – salman khan
http://www.indicine.com/movies/bollywood/jab-tak-hai-jaan-hit-or-flop-box-office-prediction/
read the prediction by indicine. according to that the movie has performed lower than the worst case scenerio . Means jab tak hai jaan has underformed heavily. Even the comments of peopel showing 300 crore and all. But i think overall its a disappointment. Akhsay kumar will be releasing. 5th movie this year. And even than i am sure khiladi 786 would make more than jab tak hai jaan . That would mean he would have two movies groosing more than jab tak hai jaan and another housefull 2 with more than 100 crore too.

this shows indian people dont have sense of humor..
Srk is the king of Bollywood since 20 years…. The last flop movie of srk is Paheli even though it shadowed when that movie was selected to Oscar entry from India. Where are those salman fans before wanted movie??. Were you alive?. Salman khan flop movies list is huge… Main aur mrs khanna,veer,Marie gold,jaaneman,god tussi great ho,hello,yuvvraj etc….you see the list and decide.
Only collections will not prove who is a great actor… If you want to see, just compare Srk and salman movies in overseas!!!. Some countries even doesn’t know who is salman khan…. He has great fan following by other nationalities….. No other actor has reached that level other than Shahrukh khan!
@ atul i will tell u salman before wanted:-
2007:- partner 3rd highest grossing fil of year(blockbuster)
2005:- no entry (super hit) top grosser of the year, maine pyar kyun kiya 5th highest grosser of year
2004:- mujhse shaadi karogi (hit) 3rd highest grosser
2003:- tere naam
2002:- hum tumhare hain sanam
2001:- har dil jo pyar karega( 6th highest grosser)
2000 :- chori chori chupke chupke( 6th highest grosser)
& in the 90’s u know very well that he ruled like no other star……..& after wanted he is back in the same phase!!..
ha ha ha stammering (goat) srk has not even crossed ghajini & ready collections….(hindi)!!! 4 years and still unable to cross 116 crores…pity on your self proclaimed kingg…kong!

@ SYED: srk fans like srk words only SALMAN only support him when he came to mumbai check KBC and youtube srk told himself but after earning money and fame he forget everything such cheap person he is.
HAVE GUTS THEN REPLY SRK FANS LOSERS.
@lil w_yne: Just because SRK movies didnot cross Salmans movies business didnt mean that his movies r flops. 100cr is not a joke. Mind it. We r happy that our hero is doing quality stuff.
@Indicine team
In you prediction you said with Best WOM JTHJ will break 3Iditots & ETT’s record.
And if WOM is Bad then it will collect nearly 125 crs which also out of reach now.
Now you are saying that its collected less because its Romantic film.
Why you not considerd it before prediction..?
Truth is that the WOM & critics opinion is Worst about JTHJ.
But no one want to criticise it due to it tag Yash Chopra’s last film.
FOR ALL…
READ IT CAREFULLY…..

Jab Tak Hai Jaan Beats Ek Tha Tiger’s Overseas Box Office Collection :
Yash Chopra’s last directorial venture Jab Tak Hai Jaan, might have failed to beat Salman Khan’s Ek Tha Tiger at the Box Office on the Domestic front. However, at the overseas box office, JTHJ is doing an excellent business and has beaten the lifetime overseas record of Ek Tha Tiger.
Having 21 Overseas Box Office Hits to his credit, SRK’s Jab Tak Hai Jaan has earned 61.50 crores in 13 days at the overseas box office(STILL RUNNING…). Whereas, Ek Tha Tiger has an overseas lifetime collection of approx 60 crores in its kitty.
When it comes to the Overseas Box Office collection, Shah Rukh Khan has always lived up to the expectations and his films do wonders out there without fail.
Take a look at Shah Rukh Khan’s overseas filmometer for your reference:
1. Karan Arjun
2. Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge
3. Pardes
4. Dil toh Pagal Hain
5. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
6. Josh
7. Mohabattein
8. Kabhie Kushi Kabhie Gum
9. Devdas
10. Kal Ho Na Ho
11. Main Hoon Na
12. Veer Zaara
13. Kabhi Alvida Na Kahena
14. Don
15. Chak De
16. Om Shanti Om
17. Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi
18. My Name Is Khan
19. Ra.One
20. Don 2
21. Jab Tak Hai Jaan
i think overseas fans are fool as they are wasting their time while watching these 21 craps….
they should watch classics like “yuvraaj”,”veer”,”kyuki”,”mai or mrs. khanna”,”hello brother”…etc…..
is’nt it….??????
@king: have guts reply to my previous comment or just shut your mouth.
@aki….oh i can guess ur feeling…
now u want reply….
suppose ur frnd would’ve helped u when u needed his help…
now does it mean that u have lost right of ur freedom….
means u have to support all his activities(whether good/bad…)…
frnd…don’t help anyone in the expectation that he will be loyal to all of his life…
why should be he…??
any way…this is their personal prob…that sallu helped him…he just forgot that incident…
but why u getting into it…..
i did’nt understand…???
@king: don’t make false news read this from BOI.
Q. Will Jab Tak Hai Jaan beat Ek Tha Tiger Worldwide and be Shahrukh Khan’s Biggest Worldwide Grosser?
A. It will nowhere near Ek Tha Tiger but could just edge Don 2 and be Shahrukh Khan’s biggest Worldwide grosser.
@Akki ETT Life Time Collection at Oversease is 59cr and JTHJ Till now earn 60+cr from Oversease and still running. Imagin the Power of King in Overseas.
@KING: when someone help you. your friend to develop your life and in big manner get you food in own home and there after you are doing something against the same person what will be your reaction?
Go youtube and check at dinner table Salim sahab Salman father jokingly said to SRK “beta you eat food in our home for sure you will became star” this is SRK words not my.
@Sahir: from where this news coming from?
@Sahir
ok..ur hero doing quality films..gud for him…
bt u dint ans my que.
why ur QUALIITY HERO NEEDS SALMAN KHAN TO SELL HIS MOVIES INTO SINGLE SCREEN?????..
AND THIS IS FROM BOI AS WELL:
The fact remains that when a holiday release featuring a star like Shahrukh Khan who has one or two releases a year trudges along to 100 crore nett business and takes 19 or 20 days to get there if it does get there then something somewhere has gone amiss.
@Akki ETT’s Overseas Lifetime Collection is 59cr and JTHJ’s Overseas Collection is 60+ till now and still running. Imagine the Power of SRK in Overseas.
