Aamir Khan – The Rising, a title inspired from his comeback movie Mangal Pandey. Rising, indeed, what a rise it has been! While Mangal Pandey opened to huge numbers, the negative word of mouth and reviews meant the film settled as the third biggest grosser of the year (2005). It was only due to the huge costs the film didn’t do too well commercially, although it recovered its investment. Post Mangal Pandey, Aamir Khan never looked back and the box office collections of his films have only increased with each release. Check out these staggering numbers.

Not that 3D is a completely new phenomenon. I still remember standing in the line to get tickets for “Chota Chetan” at Ramakrishna 70mm in Hyderabad and wondering what exactly 3D means.

Aamir Khan, the man who conquered the box office with Ghajini same time last year, returns yet again on Christmas, this time with a comedy directed by Raju Hirani.

Aamir Khan’s absconding act proved to be an expensive affair for producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra, who says that Aamir’s promotional activity – of disappearing and appearing in disguises in different parts of the country – was more expensive than making 3 Idiots. “This was a unique concept suggested by Aamir that proved very expensive for me as Aamir doesn’t travel by trains. He traveled by jet planes to make the journey quick as he had to travel to different cities all over India,” said producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra. Aamir explained that the unique plan was suggested by
