Ghajini is a historic hit

Ghajini is the first Bollywood film to cross the Rs.100 crore mark in one week, leaving Rab Ne… and Singh is Kinng far behind.

Posters across the city read, "Historic Hit in 14 minutes and 52 seconds."

The spokesperson for Ghajini says, "Ghajini has had the biggest box office opening and collections this year. It is the first movie to cross more than 100 crores in a week. The collections, as of 31st December, were Rs. 140 crores and we are still counting."
She further adds, “The poster reads 14 minutes and 52 seconds because Aamir loses his memory every 14 minutes and 52 seconds. The money Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi earned in 3 weeks, Ghajini took a week to earn."

The cast and crew of Ghajini recently celebrated with a success party on December 30. Ghajini had already made Rs.110 crores by then.

In spite of the unfavourable reviews, Ghajini smashed all previous opening-week records. It earned Rs.90 crores during the Christmas weekend because of all the pre-release hype the film generated. Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi earned 63 crores in its opening weekend. It grossed Rs. 90 crores in its first week. Singh is Kinng earned Rs. 29 crores in its opening weekend and its total earnings are Rs. 128 crores. 2007’s biggest hit Om Shanti Om has earned almost Rs. 156 crores worldwide.

Commenting on the success of the film, Aamir says, "I am very happy that Ghajini has broken so many records. Numbers don't matter to me as people's appreciation is more important. I was really stressed before the release, especially with the case, but everything's going well now."

Regarding who the number one actor is, Shah Rukh or him, he said, "People decide who is number one."
