PK (Friday) First Day Box Office Collection: Aamir Khan Fails To Beat HNY Record

Aamir Khan's PK has managed to win over the viewers and the critics, a rare occurrence that was possible only because of Rajkumar Hirani's direction and brilliant performances from the cast of the film.

PK released in over 5000 odd screens in India and over 820 screens overseas. The screen count is definitely more than Aamir's last movie Dhoom 3 which released in 4,500 screens in India and 800 abroad. Most of the big movies this year like Salman Khan's Kick, Shahrukh Khan's Happy New Year and Hrithik Roshan's Bang Bang released in over 5,000 screens worldwide.

Owing to the large screen count and good reviews from audience and critics, the movie was expected to gross over Rs 30 crores on it's opening day. Even though it was a working day for most of the companies the morning shows of PK saw 50-70% occupancy and the evening and night shows were totally booked, especially in Bangalore.

But sadly the movie grossed just about Rs 26.63 crores, which is very less compared to the predictions made. Also it failed to beat Shahrukh Khan's Happy New Year record which had grossed over Rs 44.97 crores.

The theatre owners opened advance booking for PK from Monday it self, owing to which the night shows for Friday were 80% booked by Thursday itself. So it does come as a surprise why the movie failed to gross record breaking collections.

According to trade experts Aamir may not even beat his own Dhoom 3 Box Office collection records. As they feel that the response they received for Dhoom 3 was so much more than PK, "Had the film got a reception like "Dhoom 3", the film would have made a record-breaking business in Bengaluru on the first day," said a trade expert.

Aall Izz Well with #PK till interval and then it's a bumpy ride. Not entirely a bhaste of time though. Hirani's weakest is better than most.

But it's not upto the expectations. Subject of #PK is old. It reminds you Akshay Kumar's #OhMyGod. It doesn't have repetitive value.
