More than the box office opening of Love Aaj Kal most are curious to know if the Imtiaz Ali film can beat Akshay Kumar’s Kambakht Ishq and get the biggest hit of the year tag.. also if Love Aaj Kal is actor Saif Ali Khan’s biggest opener ever..!
Well, Love Aaj Kal has surpassed all expectations and has opened to historic collections all over India. Infact, in some centres the collections are comparable to that of Aamir Khan’s Ghajini, which remains the biggest opener ever! Although the word of mouth is average, the film is all set to break the weekend record (2009) set by Kambakht Ishq. What could also help Love Aaj Kal is the holiday on August 5th due to Raksha Bandhan and not to forget the open 2nd week, with the next big release Kaminey releasing on 14th August.
Business for the Saif – Deepika starrer is best at multiplexes, while the single screens especially in the south is on the lower side.
According to boxofficeindia, the first day collections are second only to Ghajini and the film has managed to beat Rab Ne, Singh Is King and Kambakht Ishq by a fair distance (net figures below).
- Ghajini – 9.25 crores
- Love Aaj Kal – 8.25 crores
- Kambakht Ishq – 7.50 crores
- Singh Is King – 7.25 crores
- Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi – 7 crores
With Race breaking opening week records last year and now Love Aaj Kal well on its way in doing the same, would it be safe to include Saif Ali Khan in the Top 5 superstars of Bollywood? Or was the huge hype due to the Jab We Met director’s presence? Also, do big director’s have star power, or shall we call it “director power”, of their own to draw in the audience? Are they as big as stars? Quite interesting..! What do you think? Comments below
Well.. the movie is Below Expectations… itz just a 1 time movie… Soo be aware guyz..
the star of the movie for me is Rishi Kapoor…not Saif. Saif in the top 5….no way….Hrithik. AAmir, Salman, Sharukh, John Abrahams, Amithjhi, Akshay…..
i re-iterate again, saif is a jerk and a girl. (looks like one).
as for jyotish vidya of the numerologist niraj predicting akshays doom with blue. well, mr niraj’s jyotish vidya will be in question when blue takes a historic opening and becomes a hit. at least a hit. mr niraj will then have to give up his job and seek employment elswhere, milking cows for example. mr niraj will have to be shot in the head if he then continues to practice as a numerologist. the question we all need to ask about these jyotish vidya gurus is that are they god ??? jyotish vidya my arse.
anyway, my gut feeling is that blue will be better than cctc and KI. AND WILL DO WELL AT THE B.O. it will be a better made film. as akshay would have learnt from the mistakes of SIK, cctc and KI, and make blue a better film without many flaws like the former ones.
indicine team:
sachin rocki is right. you should give box office figures from your own sources. also, is there a website where the figures are truthful and as accurate as they can be ?? because each website seems to have a different fgure compared to the other. for example of bollywood hungama shows takings of 8 crore, india fm will show a taking of 6 crores, and box office india will show a taking of 9 crore. so who do we trust ?? and which figures are close to being accurate ??
I have been commenting in this website for many times bt den….u guys never post my comment … why is it so???
Love aaj kal is a total mess ……………its jus a crap movie… i wonder why there was saif ali khan in rishi kapoors young version….. if it had to be so…y wasnt dere deepikaa…… ??? it wud have been gud if..both da .actors were same ..or none were same..
is it because..he has to invest in anoder actor so .. he played himself…
indicine team: i hope u post my comment now…..
i am an international viewer of ur site..
INDICINE TEAM: HEY THe guy/girl names INDY is writing offensive language,i hope u will delete tht!!!
SPIDERMAN:Ya,u r right!!!Hope BLUE Become hit,i m waiting to see tht movie.According to tht film jotisi of niraj,he said movie will lose 50 crs.One thing is sure then movie is make of 50 crs and if his saying is right then movie must earn 50 crs and if movie is bad then how can BLUE will earn 50 crs..>EVen hype of movie cannot make tht much money.If it does then movie first will collection must be more than 45 crs then ….
But still HOPE BLUE does well
INDY:I have said multiple times ,tht things about kaminey is my gut feeling.I m not jotisi to say future about movie.i m just telling my gut feeling.But people like u r the one who r dark spot to movie watcher.Just stop saying nonsense .I Havenot talk about Rab ne bana di jodi anywhere in this page than how u can bring tht things here
Yashpal:thx for yr good feeling.

THe movie weekend earn has come out.According to boxofficeindia.com,movie has earn 27 crs which second highest after ghajjni.And it also have big advantage of holiday of raksha vandan.I guess movie is going to earn 45-50 crs or even 50-55 crs in week 1 and after tht +12-20 crs and it totally will be around 70-80 crs .With the cost of movie 48 crs,this will be first superhit movie.Good news for bollywood industry after long time superhit has come.And in a july 3 movie has become hit (kambakkht ishq,new york and love aajkal)which is quite good to see.Now big pressure lies on head of movie Kaminey which will have surely good opening and if movie is good ,it will become 4th hit movie of 2009~~everything going on bollywood industry!!good to c tht….
WELL after tht,movies like dil bole haddipa,wanted,london dreams,blue,aladdin,All the best,jail ,dhan dana dan..Look like biggiest movies r in corner
THere is seriously bad news about this movie.Box office collection of monday drops 65% than friday.It is even lower than wht kambakkht ishq drop in some places.But still it got a wednesday big holiday,chance r it can earn 6-7 crs on tht day but according wht things r going.Movie will not earn more than 40-45 crs in week one and futher it will not earn more than 60 crs.LOok like movie will not be SUPERHIT but it can be hit !!!!!Above comment was given before monday thnk u
INDICINE TEAM:just give comment or tell how much it has earn upto now,there is no one commenting !!i m feeling bore here alone!!I love this site and want more frm this site!!hope u will listen me!!!
Well Guyz…………
Boxoffice is what really matters and the figures show that “LAK” is amongst one of the biggest grossers of all time and I think that will put Saif among top 5 actors. U belive it or not but that’s true. And I personally think he deserves it as well. After giving movies like Dil Chahta hai, Hum Tum, Kal Ho Na Ho, Race, Omkara, Parineeta and now Love Aaj Kal, he should be considered one of the fine actors India has right now.
Fahad: I do agree with u.. I always considered Saif as a good actor..he’s much better actor than Salman Khan.. Salman Khan must be at no 7 or 8 and Saif must be at no.5 after Shahrukh, Aamir, Hrithik & Akshay.. he really deserves to be considered as one of the top.. in addition to the movies u mentioned.. he did also a good job as a villain in Ek Hasina Thi. Why ppl love Salman so dearly and consider him as a big actor.. I don’t know?! his acting isn’t so good, even sometimes when he tries to be funny he just piss me off with his stupid acting, I don’t like his attitude and I don’t like to watch his show Dus ka Dum because of his stupid acting!! Saif must be as no. 5
Fahad: R u indian? I don’t think Indian ppl use the name Fahad.. u must be from Guilf Arabia.
I also feel the same that love aj kal movie is very slow nd not upto expectations…
Frm my point of view the pillar of the movie is-awesome songs,Rishi kapoor’s story i.e. sardar saif,punjabi touch nd some other seens…although da climax is very good.upto interval the modern seens of saif nd deepika just goes on with almost no meaning…just i cn say its a 1 time watch
Fathiya, Thanks for supporting my comments on Saif.
No I am not an Indian. I am a Pakistani but living in UAE for the last 5 years.
no saif no shahrukh nor aamir only akshay is the best.. love aajkal is so so not very good..
KAMBAKHT ISHQ IS 10 times better than lvajkal… opening day collection of KAMBKHAT ISHQ IS OVER 8.5 CARORE..
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrowwwwwww up india.. kab tak pyar love muhabbat ke chakkaro me pade rahoge???
just go for original entertainment… go for kAMBAKHT ISHQ
indicine team
do u know the official first week box office figures for LAK ? it appears to have beaten rab ne ‘s first week record ?
i was right kambakht ishq is declare better than rab ne bana di or love aajkal
ist week collection of kambakht ishq is over 150 carore all over the world……..which is from
times of india…
akshay is the best
akki always rocksssssssssssss
first day net collection of KAMBAKHT ISHQ is over 9 carore.. and it has been declared… this muvi got IInd position after ghajini…. and now u r saying the Ist day collection of KAMBAKHT ISHQ is 7.25…?????????
hadddddddd ho gayi yaaaaaar u r totally fake…………..
akshay is the best…… thats it. he is the real king.. he has become international star… not desi like shahrukh aamir saif…… etc.
Hi
I have wacthed kambaqt ishq, love aj kal & kaminey. I would like to rate as:
1) Kaminey
2) Love aj kal
kambaqt ishq is no where in my list. This movie was like why I am watching stupid movie. Kareena was pathetic , storyline was a crap and akshay acting was fine but no story. what u can expect 4rm actors.
Kaminey was fantastic. You have to keep on judging and using your brain till end. Acting was perfect. Shahid has realy grown up. Priyanka was natural and first time I was looking at movie where I can relate that things are happenning in front of me. Cool Movie, only Indian public is not sensitive to real acting and real life.
Love aj kal -> first it is a copy –> second Saif ali khan always has same expressions for every emotion. His face seems to me like emotion less. He tried too much in Sardar role( overacting) and in his own role. why he act always same He is stupid actor. when will he grow up how much time he need to get settled. I though after wacthing omkara he is now fine actor but after that no much change in acting always same expressions on face common grow up , old freak.
Love aj kal is winner in Indian masses because they have fantasies which they want to live but cant.. Also Indians have brain but when come to masses they are the most stupid crowd in the whole world. Thats why our India is lacking everywhere. Can u believe one friend of mine asked me did guddu dies in Kaminey. He wacthed movie in theater I was like this is the reason people dont like kaminey they dont want to use brain. Common grow up people and also our actors, directors need to grow up
Love aaj kal sirf deepika ke kisses ki whjhe se hit hoi he
