Ghajini all set to be India's first 100 crore film

While
it's
obvious
by
now
that
Ghajini
would
break
the
opening
record
(currently
held
by
Singh
Is
Kinng
that
made
44
crores
at
the
end
of
the
first
week),
talks
have
steered
towards
a
speculation
if
at
the
end
of
it's
run,
this
Aamir
Khan
starrer
would
go
on
to
be
country's
first
film
to
net
100
crores.
Well
to
put
this
speculation
to
rest,
after
observing
the
Ghajini
mania
closely
for
the
last
10
days,
I
can
safely
presume
that
we
are
indeed
looking
at
a
100
crores
milestone
being
comfortably
crossed.
If
one
looks
at
the
figures
pouring
in,
it
isn't
rocket
science
actually
to
be
able
to
deduce
such
momentous
figure
for
the
film.
Wednesday
preview
shows,
Thursday's
limited
shows
and
Friday's
full
fledged
release
(with
Rab
Ne
Bana
Di
Jodi
and
other
films
in
the
running
vacating
some
shows
after
Thursday)
have
brought
in
a
mind
boggling
20
crores
already
(this
number
could
go
up
to
22
crores
pending
confirmation).
With
better
collections
over
Saturday
and
Sunday,
considering
the
fact
that
advance
booking
has
already
broken
records
all
over),
the
44
crores
first
week
record
of
Singh
Is
Kinng
is
all
set
to
be
broken
by
Ghajini
in
it's
weekend
itself.
Even
with
a
50%
fall
in
collections
on
the
weekdays
(which
is
on
the
higher
side
though
considering
this
is
a
festive
season
all
the
way
into
the
New
Year
and
quite
a
few
patrons
are
already
on
a
vacation
mood),
20
crores
more
are
comfortably
expected
to
be
added
on
between
Monday
to
Thursday.
Add
them
all
up
and
first
week
of
Ghajini
could
well
be
heading
towards
the
65
crores
mark.
Conservatively
speaking,
with
a
fall
steeper
than
50%,
60
crores
first
week
is
given.
With
two
more
open
weeks
to
follow
before
the
release
of
Chandni
Chowk
To
China
(on
16th
January),
it
is
inevitable
that
Ghajini
would
go
on
to
add
at
least
40
crores
more.
Though
probability
is
that
this
number
would
be
achieved
in
the
fortnight
to
come
at
least,
even
in
the
worst
case
scenario
we
are
looking
at
100
crores
milestone
being
comfortably
met
before
the
film's
run
comes
to
an
end.
Aamir
Khan
has
done
it.
And
he
has
done
it
in
a
BIG
way!
