@fan pk : Do you have anything beyond Marigold? At least Marigold was telecast on TV and had few/some viewers. what about Maya Memsaab, Oh ! Darling Yeh hai India and What was that ? YLJK …. Lol
Even a mosquito wont watch these movies.
@sayar why are you talking baseless things. Salman leads srk in each and everything when it comes to boxofficecollections not only today but overall career be it bloclbusters , atbbs , hits, hgoty anything. Has srk more bbs , atbbs, hgoty, hits , atgs than salman in overall career according to any website? The answer is no. Bus bat khatam. First learn what a solo or multistarer is. I have said it many times that in biwi no 1 , hssh there were no stars who can match salman initially. No saif or anil starrers took an opening even closer to salman’s hello brother or janam samjha karo in 1999. So they were not multistarers. During k3g hr’s film used to take better initial than srk’s film. Same goes for trimurti. So they were multistarers. Veer zara took a record breaking opening according to producer figure? Jake kisi aur ko ullu bana. If you have any proof give me the link. No body knows initial numbers of early 2000’s films or 90’s according to producer figure. And those who don’t follow boi.com i have also made a comparison for them according to indicine who keeps producer figure. The truth is you can follow any website be it boi or indicine salman is always ahead.
