Why can’t Aamir Khan films cross 100 cr without Christmas release?

Question: Why can’t Aamir deliver a 100 crore club movie without Christmas release? Aamir did not cross 100cr mark in non-holiday period. Talaash was the most-awaited movie of 2012 and it failed to cross 100. He is the most over-rated Khan in the ‘Khan trio’. After Talaash, he is probably scared of releasing his film during non-holiday which is why he is postponed the release of P.K? As we all know his Dhobi Ghat was also a huge failure - Akash Naik

Indicine: Akash, you are talking about a man who delivered the first 100 crore, 200 crore and 250 crore grosser! Four major Aamir Khan films have released since the first 100 cr grosser and only one of his films have released during a non-holiday weekend.

Its not just Aamir, the other two Khans have also tried their best to avoid releasing their film during a non-holiday weekend. Shahrukh Khan’s last normal release was My Name Is Khan (2010) and it didn’t collect 100 cr. Salman too has released all his films either during the holiday weekend or Post-IPL.

Coming to Talaash, it appealed only to a certain section of the audience and for its genre it did reasonably well at the box office. If 3 Idiots, Dhoom 3 or the upcoming P.K release this week, it would still easily collect more than 150 cr.

And finally, Dhobi Ghat was an art film made on a budget of around 12 cr. It would be foolish to expect huge box office returns from the film.

  • Fact is Aamir Khan’s career took off only after Lagaan.
    He has only 11 clean hits in entire career of 25 years.
    Till 2001 he had only 3 clean hits to his credit. All other films were averages/semi hits peddled as hits by some sympathisers.
    Salman started with an ATBB, SRK gave ATBB in 3rd year of his career. Aamir was first Khan to debut but last Khan to give ATBB, that too after 7 years of his debut.
    His fans have started talking box office only after Ghajini.
    Aamir Khan and his fans give all credit of these remakes, multi starrers, franchise and festival releases to him whereas any film that does not do well is called art film!
    Aamir knows he can’t do without X Mas, and safe films like multi starrers with Rajkumar Hirani or big banners like YRF, this is why he immediately takes break if he does not get safe, readymade blockbuster material offers.

    Just a few good last 5 years are no indicator of a star’s measure. Aamir Khan’s history speaks for itself!

  • 5 #Facts About Aamir Khan!! “PERFAKETIONALIST”

    1) Always try to take away all the credit of a good movie, but if the movie becomes flop then blame the director & other actors.

    2) Never lose an opportunity to kiss an actress in a movie.

    3) Whenever your movie is about to release start taking Shahrukh Khan’s name.

    4) whenever you are asked about a movie of other actor, just say that I’ve not seen the trailer of that movie.

    5) If you can’t write anything funny or witty on your twitter/blog just abuse a big superstar (LIKE #SRK), you will get free publicity

    ” and Andaaz apna apna – Biggest Flop. 2 Khans of bollywood Bhai Jaan and Aamir Khan Together gave Flop Movie Like Andaaz Apna Apna” lol

    Agar #SRK Ke Filmo Ka Graph Aisa Hota To Aaj Main Mar Jaata .Issey Achha Film Graph Salman Ka Hain . Even B Grade Stars Like Akshay Kumar Has Better Graph As Star!!

    Tingudar Gaymir Gaymir Bolte Hain ..Agar Ye Dekhne Ke Baad Agar Wo Us Bachhe Ke Fan Hain To Ussey Bara #Chutiya ( Actually with all due respect to all on Facebook. ”Ch%T!Y@”) Iss Duniya Main Nahi.

  • Aamir needs a big franchise like D3 to chase CE. SRK broke 3 Idiots with an original script. Salman failed in 6 attempts flat!

  • Sallu and Aamir Fans- “Biggest Nightmare 4 us- When CE crossed 225 cr in India with just 1 free week, what will happen if HNY gets 2 weeks?”

  • Anil, Sunny, Sanjay, Ajay, Akshay, Aamir, Salman, Amitabh, Hrithik and Ranbir. Kitne aaye, kitne gaye.
    Only one stayed. SRK.

  • “Short term memory loss” is the factor behind creating huge buzz for Gajini

    Dhoom 3 is a huge hit in India and Overseas too. But what abt Dhoom 2 ?. it has done huge 10 million dollar business in 2006 while hrithiks another film Krish didnt even do half the bussiness in same year and, dhoom 2 did huge 80 crs in india too. That means brand is hugely popular in India and overseas.

    3 idiots is the only movie which aamir can take credit of along with Raju hirani

    Gajini – Remake of an hugely successful movie
    Dhoom 3 – hugely sucessful franchise

    Like Salman , Aamir also need help from Remakes,franchise movie to delive huge hit. If not, Talaash and Dobi ghat wil be the result.

  • Not a single original film in Aamir’s entire career. All films either remakes of Hollywood films or lifted from famous books without giving credit.

    Only way to get attention is to insult colleagues or milk social issues. #Fakester

  • This logic applies on all superstars coz nobody can give big hits without holidays and even our kings non holiday release MNIK failed to cross 100 crores

  • IAMAKN dont talk about aamir kissing scenes or twitter language coz our king done worse and showed his b@ck and recently used bad language on twitter

  • aamir, hrithik,ranbir are not that popular in mass centers their film only work when their is good script.

  • If 3idiots,ghajini and dhoom3 would have released on a non holiday,still they would have made it to the 100crs…So it depends on the film basically.
    Had CE released in place of MNIK,it would have done 100crs.
    Talaash was rejected by single screen audience.Me and my friend watched it in a single screen and the response was very negative,people were murmuring that what sort of film is this!!!Probably me and my friend were the only one who liked it..

  • Bcz he lack stradom like srk or salman. And he hasnt acting skills like hrithik,srk or ranbir. He has worked with grt directors but still just 9 hits out of 38 movies. He also used to spread negativity against srk and atlast deceive ranbir and anurag and captured precaptured date. I think he iz the most overrated khan.

  • SRK is a small star and nothing in front of Aamir.Acc to illiterate srkians,lagaan was hit due to kachra lol

  • @bulli ki lulli showing back is not big crime than divorcing wives or spreading negativity against someone or capturing his own brother in case for property or decieving kids like ranbir.This is a big crime to give 9 hits in 30 yrz with grt directors and scripts.

  • Koyla – Solo
    Ra.1 – Solo.
    Dil Se – Solo.
    Swades – Solo.
    PBDHH – Solo.
    Asoka – Solo.
    Yeh Lamhe Hai
    Judai Ke – Solo.”

    Kuch Kuch Hota Hai – Salman.
    Dil Toh Pagal Hai – Akki. OSO – 30 stars.
    Mohabbatein – Big B.
    K3G – Big B/HR.
    Darr – Sunny.

    srk_inspires_me
    Ra.One alone lost
    around 65 cr .
    Infact 70% of
    SRK’s movies are
    loss makers.

    Aamir Always The GOD when he abuse SRGAY means SRGAY want that from Aamir for get Famous,…

  • Aamir trolls are unable to digest truth. But disliking all comments cannot change reality.
    Aamir debuted in 1988. But success story is only from 2008.
    To see how small Aamir was, consider this:

    – In 1998, Govinda’s Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, which clashed with a biggie like KKHH, Ajay’s Pyar Toh Hona Hi Tha and Bobby Deol’s Soldier earned more at box office than Aamir’s Ghulam.

    – Bobby Deol’s Gupt was a bigger hit than Aamir’s multistarrer Ishq in 1997.

    – Even a total rubbish film of SRK “Ram Jaane” made more than Aamir’s Akele Hum Akele Tum at box office.

    – Throughout 90s Aamir only kept defending his low status at box office, claiming Mann was not a flop, Akele Hum Akele Tum made money, Tum Mere Ho is a hit and how Mela was “superhit” in some “pockets”!

    – He got respect after Lagaan but still his Dil Chahta Hai was only average.

    He adopted strategy of claiming he did not do movies for money. But started cutting cakes for 100 crore at success parties after Ghajini!

    Aamir apologists can’t even dare to look at past. For it will break the dream that they’ve been living since 2008!

  • @vicky licky, where was your mass actor bhai before dabangg ?? isn’t he most massy star ? how much his films were collecting when Hrithik was giving blockbusters like KNPH,KMG,Krrish,D:2 ?
    Just because you hate Hrithik, doesn’t mean he is less popular. keep your rotten opinion to yourself.

  • Heard lot of excuses for failure of any movie but here there r lot of excuses by haters for ATBB’s like Ghajini,3 idiots and Dhoom 3 and for them 3 ATBB’s in 6 years is just a coincidence even though the main lead actor of all this mega hit movies is Aamir khan.Just Christmas release is no reason for a movie to become ATBB bcoz ‘Don2’ got just hit verdict when release in christmas also big banners is just not the only reason for ATBB bcoz big banner movies like ‘JTHJ’ and ‘MNIK’ got just hit verdict movie and now haters will talk of their half pant days again instead of current lungi days after reading this comment.lol

  • PK: 350 crore India, 600 crores Worldwide
    Top grossers in overseas after Dec 2014:
    1. PK ($30 million)
    2. Dhoom 3 ($28 million)
    3. 3 Idiots ($26 milion)
    The King of overseas Aamir Khan.

  • Aamir films can’t cross 100 cr without Christmas release is same like saying sallu can’t give a hit without Eid and srk can’t give a hit without holiday release.

  • Aamir Was No.1 , He is No.1 and will remain no.1 … haters keep burning … He is just best … none can even touch his brilliance .. he is a maverick .. truly ace of indian cinema

  • This has to be the most stupid question I’ve ever heard..Guys please think before you say something

  • this is for his haters, if i use the logic of his haters than

    1. srk has two atbb’s both in Romantic films KKHH-dharma, DDLJ-YRF
    2. srk has 6 blockbusters, RBNDJ & CDI-yrf, OSO & CE-Red chillies (Srk-deppika), K3G-dharma, KA-filmcraft (Salman)
    3. Srk has 4 super hits all from YRF banners
    4. srk’s first 4 bb’s one thing is commons and that is SRK-Kajol pair, next 2 bb common-YRF banner & 2 BB’s having SRK-Deepika pair.
    5. from his 12 hits, Baazigar,Pardes,are genuine hits
    6. Don & devdas were official remakes, Don2 was sequal so every one expecting from these films to be minimum a hit and they got minimum verdict as expected
    7. Ra1 got 5 days extended weekend & JTHJ got 6 days extended weekend with clash (his most popular zoner & banner YRF) so these help to them to emerge as a hit
    8. KANK,KHNH & Mnik from Dharma productions
    9. Main Hoon Naa a multistarrer.
    10. srk tried diffrent movies with Dil se,Asoka,Paheli,swades all were flops and when he did CDI & MNIk those were hits because they were from Dharma & YRF.

    movies like Don2,Don,Kank,MNIK,Ra1 & jthj were underperfromed we know because the no of factors associated with these movie, srk fans and trade expected min is superhits.

    @deepu Aamir got first superhit with his debut Film as an actor QSQT while srk got with Darr where he was side actor, lol.
    Deewana- Multistarrer ( huge face Divya Bharti & rishi kapor)
    Darr-Sunny Deol, Juhi one of the popular actress of that time.
    Karan Arjun- Salman-srk & Rakesh roshan as director.
    Dil To Pagal Hai- Multistarrer as Akshay was in the film.
    KKHH-Multistarrer
    Baadshah- Multi starrer even that baby who got kidnapper was more funny than our king.
    Mohabbatein- Multistarrer
    K3G- Multistarrer
    Devdas- Multistarrer a remake (jakie shroff)
    KHNH-Saifl ali kah again a multistarrer
    Veer Zaara- again a multistarrer
    MHN-Epic multistarrer cast with talented Jayed Khan.
    Don- again a multistarrer for our king Arjun Rampal
    KANK_epic multistarrer cast
    CDI- a single man with 11 talented woman more than a multistarrer as according to logic if Kachar was the reason of Lagaan success, tha Komal choutala was the lead heroin than our coach.
    OSO- multistarrer ka baap
    RNBDJ- 2 srk so multistarrer for fun.
    MNIK-Multistarrer
    Ra-1, -multistarrer ( 2 srk with Ra one, OMG)
    Don 2- as i expected there would 2 srk got shocked when see here srk turned Hrithik or Hr turned srk, Kunaal Kapoor

    srk film on festive season.
    1. DDLJ (ATBB)- diwali
    2. DTPH (super hit)- diwali
    3. KKHH (ATBB)- diwali
    4. MOhabbatein – diwali
    5. K3G- cristams as movie released on 20-21st dec,2001
    6. Veer Zaara- Super hit- Diwali
    7. Don- Diwali
    8. OSO-diwaii
    9. Ra1- diwali
    10. Don 2- cristmas
    11. JTHJ-Diwali
    12.- CE-EID
    13- Diwali
    so as per this conclusion our King srk is Diwali star if their is no diwali than there is no king khan, till CDI i mean for 15 yeas srk not had even a superhit film on his name which released on non-holiday and having only solo actor, i think mr Akash naik wouldn’t agree with this.

    srk huge success on non-holiday
    1. CDI-YRF
    2. RNBDJ-Yrf.

    guys show me some more of our king as 3.7 billing king still need festive release, while i heard he is copying mr Big B for his dialogue”hum jaha khade ho jate hai, line wohi se shuru hoti hai” but i haven’t seen in recent time except CE, there were on line or queue in theatre when JTHJ,Don2,Ra1 released, and those who spend their money abuses srk for return his money that made him to be oof line for some duration on social sites.
