Aamir Khan’s 3 Idiots Sets New Records At The Box Office Aamir Khan made a hat-trick with his third Christmas release in a row 3 Idiots after, Taare Zameen Par (2007) and Ghajini (2008) has brought huge cheer to the box office. Breaking his own film Ghajini’s record, 3 Idiots is fast racing to be amongst the biggest blockbusters of all times.Trade sources state, “3 Idiots has set a new record for Paid preview shows by grossing Rs. 2.25 crore nett. The previous record holder Ghajini did a business of Rs. 1.75 crore net. The reports are very good and the film is a winner all the way and just remains to be seen if it can do blockbuster business. Three Idiots has hit the box office like a hurricane and has smashed many first day records at the box office
The first day business was an unimaginable Rs. 12.75 crore nett. The previous record for the first Friday was Rs. 9.25 crore nett recorded by Ghajini last December.” Another trade pundit however adds, “It must also be noted that the 3 Idiots first day was a Christmas Day holiday while Ghajini first Friday was a normal day but even accounting for that, it is still a phenomenal collection. This takes the 3 Idiots total to 15.50 crore nett with paid previews (2.75 crore nett) and the weekend seems to be heading for 37-39 crore nett collections which is truly mind boggling.” Source
Inspired from the tamil version ‘Ghajini’ the hindi remake received a grand welcome in Bollywood and became an all time super hit so much so that Aamir Khan is now an ardent fan of Tamil films. Aamir had even told that it was actor Surya –the hero in the Tamil ‘Ghajini’ who persuaded him to take up the project in Bollywood with full confidence. One of the top stars of Kollywood Vijay got surprised when he met Aamir recently. He got amazed when Aamir recognized him and told him that he and his wife Kiran are big admirers of his dancing style.
Aamir seems to have developed a soft corner for the Tamil flicks. After all ‘Taare Zameen Par’ became the only Hindi film to win the Gollapudi Srinivas Memorial award which is hugely respected in Tamilnadu.
Every one knows that Aamir never attends any award functions. So if he came all the way to Chennai to receive the award at a time when he was injured, it shows the respect he has for Kollywood ! Source
