Aamir Khan earns big

Aamir Khan and PVR Pictures' Abbas Tyrewala directed, Jaane Tu...Ya Jaane Na, has swept the youngsters off their feet, mainly because of its fresh and novel approach. The Imran Khan and Genelia D'Souza starrer has yielded a distributor's share of over 10 crores in the first week itself.

The 12 crore film (including cost of production and pre-release promotion, minus the cost of prints, post-release publicity etc.), is expected to yield a net profit of around 30-35 crores for Aamir Khan Productions and PVR Pictures. The satellite rights of the film alone could fetch a whopping 15 crores!

The debut directorial venture of well-known writer-lyricist, Abbas Tyrewala, is easily the biggest hit of the year so far (as we had said last week). Its revenues are mainly (and predictably) coming in from the multiplexes, with collections soaring during the weekends.
