GHAJINI COLLECTIONS CROSSED 200 CRORES

Amir Khans latest film crossed the 200 crore collections.Crew members of Ghajini celebrated the 2nd party.It is the first movie to achieve this feat.The total collections are 160 crores from India out of which 32 crores in a single day and the rest 40 crores are overseas collections.

With a stupendous 1,200 prints release, the movie has caught the fancy of both rural and urban audiences to a phenomenal extent. Backed by an aggressive marketing strategy and a stunning star cast, the film is expected to break the records of all-time-domestic earners like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (Rs. 165 cr) and Gadar-Ek Prem Katha (Rs. 170 cr). The flick is also expected to conquer KANK which made Rs. 44 crores in the overseas market. 
 Ghajini, the re-make of the Tamil movie of the same name by A.R. Murugadoss, has Aamir Khan and Asin in the lead roles. With hero Aamir's stature and heroine Asin's fame, the movie was expected to break all records. The post-release results have confirmed the expectations. Now, with the 200-crores mark covered in 2 weeks, it looks like the Ghajini game is not yet over and the flick is all set to topple even more records.
