The film has shown strong collections all over for five days with every circuit doing very well but the next two days are very important and the levels they stay at will decide where the film is going in terms of lifetime business.

How close are Karan Johar, Shahrukh Khan and Gauri Khan?

The director comes clean on rumours of an alleged rift between him and his muse, Shahrukh Khan

“I am here to spend time with Aryan and Gauri. Shahrukh Khan, Gauri and I are a unit that has evolved beyond the realms of the film fraternity. Shahrukh Khan is my older brother and I am bound to him for emotional, spiritual and professional reasons. Like wine, he keeps getting better with age.”

Katrina Kaif and Kareena Kapoor won’t perform on New Year’s Eve

The babes plan to indulge in happy family time rather than earning big bucks at some lavish New Year bash

Katrina Kaif and Kareena Kapoor will not be seen performing in happening New Year parties this year. The actors are firm about spending time with their near and dear ones. While Kat is reportedly planning to join her family in London, Bebo will be spending quality time with husband Saif Ali Khan. We hear that they both were offered a whopping Rs 2 crores approximately for live dance shows, but looks like the two ladies simply want to sit back and relax with their loved ones.

Priyanka Chopra, Bipasha Basu, Kangna Ranaut and Sunny Leone are some of the top names in the organiser’s list. Although none of them have given a confirmation yet, buzz is that PC might shake a leg with Salman Khan at a show in Dubai. And Bong babe Bips and Kangy have been offered around Rs 1 crore for grooving at a high-end party. Jism 2 babe Leone has also been offered Rs 26 lakhs. As the season of earning a mighty amount of moolah approaches, we wait to see which of them give their nod to the desperate organisers.

Salman Khan Number 1-10 Today

Salman Khan Number 1-10 Today

The last few week's have proved that Salman Khan is a star just competing with himself as releases of the other big stars have disappointed in terms of box office collections. Jab Tak Hai Jaan and Talaash can be claimed to be big money makers but that is only because the main component (male star) of the budget has a share in profits and when the share is given the profits are not so great. The fact is that the domestic theatrical box office is not what it should have been.

The 100 crore nett mark which is redundant as a benchmark today has proved a stiff task for Shahrukh Khan, Ajay Devgn and Aamir Khan over the last few weeks while for Salman Khan starrers the question is not will it do 100 but in how many days.

Shahrukh Khan just about squeezed a 100 crore with Jab Tak Hai Jaan, Ajay Devgn fell short with Son Of Sardaar, Aamir Khan looks to be going the same way as Ajay Devgn. It can be said the the genres of the Shahrukh Khan and Aamir Khan starrers are not very viable for big numbers but the fact these stars come after some time making their films become event films and that counteracts the genre factor to some degree. Also they had 2500 screen releases so with such wide releases, the makers themselves signal that they are expecting huge numbers. The not so great release of Son Of Sardaar can be an excuse if one has to be given for that film not achieving optimum figures.

This week will see another big star Akshay Kumar have a release with Khiladi 786. Akshay has seen the two universally best word of mouth films of the year with Rowdy Rathore and Housefull 2 and looking at the advance, Khiladi 786 will have to be appreciated as much or more than Rowdy Rathore and Housefull 2 to put up a big number.

If Khildai 786 does not put up a big number then the possible scenario for the last five months of 2012 would be that the two Salman Khan starrers (Ek Tha Tiger, Dabangg 2) have done in a few days what the Shahrukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Ajay Devgn and Akshay Kumar starrers have done in their lifetime run.

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.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan SUPER HIT Son Of Sardaar HIT

Jab Tak Hai Jaan SUPER HIT Son Of Sardaar HIT

Life Of Pi opened had a good 50% opening at multiplexes across the big cities. the film will record healthy figures for a day one.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan has grossed 91 crore after ten days and has done well at multiplexes. As with films like Ra.One and Don 2 the final business will not be as much as SRK starrers should be doing in the domestic market especially as holiday releases but the difference here is that its not a big budget venture. Although it was one of the event films of 2012 the costs involved are more on the lines of a Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and Student Of The Year rather than a Don 2 or Ek Tha Tiger. SUPER HIT

Son Of Sardaar has done well all over apart from West Bengal and South grossing 75 crore nett in ten days. Despite the restricted release for a such a film and competition from a Shahrukh Khan starrer the film has grossed well in most circuits. The poor release at single screens has cost the film as the film has done better at single screens and if the film had released at the better single screens, it would have put up higher numbers. HIT

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.”

Shahrukh Khan-Katrina Kaif-Anushka Sharma starrer Jab Tak Hai Jaan: What’s the story of Yash Chopra’s forthcoming film?

We combined our fertile imaginations with our zany sense of humour and cooked up a story for Yash Chopra’s Jab Tak Hai Jaan. It may be or may not be true, but this is our interpretation of the new romance!

When the man (Yash Chopra) who has made the best love stories ever teams up with the man (Shahrukh Khan) who looks best making love onscreen, we expect to see a crackling, mind-blowing epic romance. 

And since Jab Tak Hai Jaan will be the YRF founder’s last film as a director, the SRK-Katrina Kaif-Anushka Sharma starrer has to offer audiences something more than two good-looking people singing and dancing in the Swiss Alps, the woman in a Manish Malhotra sari and the hunk in an Ed Hardy jacket.

What do we know for sure about this one? For starters, JTHJ is set in London, Ladakh and Kashmir.

But Aditya Chopra‘s poetry as narrated by SRK, the film’s trailer, the three pivotal characters and some old and new, some original and some clichéd aspects of the plot that we can deduce are enough to conjure up a slightly crazy, modern-day love story that could be senior Chopra’s last ode to romance. 

And as we listened to the poetic creativity of Aditya Chopra in SRK’s mellow voice, we let our minds come up with some magic that could unfold onscreen…soon.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan poem:

Teri aankhon ki namkeen mastiyaan

Teri hansi ki beparwa gustaakhiyaan

Teri zulfon ki lehrati angdaaiyaan

Nahi bhoolunga main

Jab tak hai jaan, Jab tak hai jaan

Tera haath se haath chodna

Tera saayon ka rukh modna

Tera palat ke phir na dekhna

Nahin maaf karoonga main

Jab tak hai jaan, Jab tak hai jaan
