SON OF SARDAAR box office report: Ajay Devgn’s entertainer touches the Rs 100 crore mark

SON OF SARDAAR box office report: Ajay Devgn’s entertainer touches the Rs 100 crore mark

SOS has finally made it to the coveted Rs 100 crore club. While Ajay’s flick took 16 days to get there, SRK’s Jab Tak Hai Jaan made it in just 11 days

 After all the sho-sha surrounding Son Of Sardaar, producer-actor Ajay Devgn can now heave a sigh of relief. Devgn, who vigorously fought the distribution battle with Yash Raj Films, finally has reasons to smile. The romantic comedy touched the Rs 100 crore mark on the auspicious day of Gurunanak Jayanti, 16 days after its release. Naturally, the actor proudly announced the news on Twitter and thanked all his fans: ‘100 crores only in India! What a day for Son Of Sardaar to cross 100 Crores on guru nanakji’s birthday! I am blessed! Thank u everyone’.

In the meanwhile, the Shahrukh Khan-Katrina Kaif-Anushka Sharma starrer Jab Tak Hai Jaan made at a budget of Rs Rs 50 crores surpassed the milestone figure in just 11 days since its release, but it also had more screens as compared to SOS. The over-whelming response to SOS at single screen centres, pushed theatre owners and distributors to give 238 additional screens to the movie in its second week, which certainly helped it to cross the Rs 100 crore mark. The film may not be able to earn more moolahonce Talaash hits the screens tomorrow.

But now that both JTHJ and SOS have hit the bull’s eye, let’s wait and watch if Talaash and Dabangg 2 too can create new box office records.

CHENNAI EXPRESS first look:Are Shahrukh Khan-Deepika Padukone recreating DDLJ?

The leggy lass is seen doing the famous scene from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge in her upcoming film Chennai Express. Do you think Dips can evoke the same romantic feeling a la Kajol?

Remember a hasty Kajol running to catch the train, while the charming (and much younger) Shahrukh Khan extends his helping hand to get the chirpy gal on board in Aditya Chopra’s 1995 blockbusterDilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge? Well, you are going to revisit the magical scene from DDLJ in Rohit Shetty’s next, Chennai Express. Only this time around, it’s Deepika and not Kajol who will be seen chasing the train. Interestingly, Shahrukh will again make sure that his new Simran..errr..lady love doesn’t miss the train. Will the two recreate the magic of the legendary scene, and pull off the act the way SRK’s Raj Malhotra and Kajol’s Simran Singh did many years ago? We are not quite sure about that!

A little birdie who keeps a watch on the recent happenings of B-town chirped to us that Rohit Shetty has started the shooting of Chennai Express, starring Dips and SRK in the lead role, and the film is slated to release in 2013.

Kajol’s silent war with Yash Raj Films

The real reason behind the 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan'-'Son of Sardaar' fight

The real reason behind the 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan'-'Son of Sardaar' fight

The truth can be told! It was not a Shah Rukh-Ajay contest. It was apparently not even a case of Yash Raj being a box-office bully. But the REAL reason for the ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan'-‘Son of Sardaar' war has its roots elsewhere!
Word has it that it all began with ‘Bol Bachchan', when Ajay requested Yash Raj Films for a portion of the song ‘Kajra Re' to use in the film. Buzz is that YRF asked for five lakhs to lend this to him! And this upset his wife Kajol considering she has worked in their films, and done cameos for YRF free of charge.
Now
Apparently, Ajay agreed to pay the amount for the 90-second sequence of the song. But even as he was about to do so, YRF reportedly hiked the amount to 25lakhs! By now, Kajol was apparently furious and Ajay too was upset. A friend of Ajay says, "She was really upset but Ajay consoled her saying it was all part of the business."
Things only got worse when Kajol (heroine of one of YRF's biggest hits - ‘Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge') was not invited to the premiere of ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan'! And yet the event was tom-tommed as sporting all the YRF heroines! This definitely upset Ajay who felt that Kajol had nothing to do with the box-office war of ‘JTHJ' and ‘SOS'. He firmly states, "Yes, Kajol was not seen at the premiere as she was not invited.”
