Aamir Khan - The Founder of 300 Cr, 200 cr, 100 cr Club - HISTORICAL

January 4, 2015 0

Aamir Khan has become the most trusted brand in Bollywood as he is the founder of 300 cr Club with PK after having found 200 cr Club and 100 cr Club with Ghajini. In the mean time Aamir Khan also created 250 cr Club with Dhoom 3.

Aamir Khan is also hugely popular worldwide as he is the founder of 500 cr Club (Gross Collections) with Dhoom 3 and should open 600 cr Club with PK too.

If we by segregate worldwide and domestic records, Aamir Khan leads in India with Top 2 All Time Grossers. In overseas market, Aamir Khan has the Top 3 All Time Grosser while in terms of worldwide records, Aamir Khan holds the Top 3 position too.

Aamir Khan has become synonymous to quality product so much that people have started to develop a blind faith that whatever has Aamir's name attached to it, that thing has to have superior quality. Among the three biggest superstars of  Bollywood namely Salman, SRK and Aamir, Ace Khan undeniably has the best script sense and this has helped him time and again in creating lifetime records.

One advantage which Aamir Khan has over his contemporaries is that he is free of any particular star image and this helps him tremendously in selecting scripts as people always come to theaters waiting to see Aamir Khan - The Actor and not Aamir Khan - The Star. His script sense is also visible in films which are not close to this standards but they have terrific scope of performance in the lead roles and this is what sets him apart from his contemporaries.

Aamir Khan - The Undisputed Box Office King

It has not been easy for Aamir Khan, for he never was the mega superstar' that he is today. The 90's were dominated by the likes of Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan. Aamir crawled his way, all along concentrating on quality and content, to slowly make it to the top league and now beyond!

The last decade, after classics like Lagaan and Dil Chahta Hai, Aamir took a 4-5 year long break due to marital
issues and other personal problems. He returned with Mangal Pandey which didn't do too well at the box office. Soon after, many in the media and trade wrote him off.

Aamir stopped giving interviews and
never really promoted the Commercially risky Rang De Basanti' - a film that not many would even risk
after Mangal Pandey'. The movie went
on to do great business, soon after which Aamir returned with the record
breaking Fanaa. He then decided to take up direction and directed the brilliant Taare Zameen Par and the rest, including the historic business of
Ghajini, is now history.

But no one in their wildest of dreams
would have thought 3 Idiots would
come close to Ghajini, leave alone beat
the 116 crore record. The film not only
went on to do record-breaking
business, but became the first film to cross Rs 200 crore in India and Rs 350
crore worldwide - unimaginable for
any film during those days.

After the historic success of 3 Idiots,
Aamir decided to do yet another off-
beat film, with little or no commercial
appeal outside multiplexes in cities. A
supernatural mystery thriller, no less.
The response was mixed, as many returned home disappointed with the
fact that Kareena Kapoor was in fact a
ghost!

Then came yet another box office
monster, Dhoom 3, which went on to
be the highest grosser of all time
collecting Rs 284 crore in India. The first film to cross the 250 crore mark. Dhoom 3 not only smashed every record in sight in the domestic markets, but also created records overseas - markets that were previously dominated by Shahrukh Khan for decades, now had a new competitor, who could not only
challenge him, but also beat him.

A few days prior to the release of PK, we spoke to several distributors and trade experts. Most believed that the film would just about manage to cross the 200 crore mark, while most thought the film had absolutely no chance of crossing the universal success of Dhoom3. On December 19th, the day PK released, the Rajkumar Hirani film too a much slower opening as compared to Dhoom 3. However, the response (read word-of-mouth) was so good, that the film came into its own in its first
weekend itself. PK has now become the first film to collect Rs 300 crore in India and will soon become the first to gross 600 crore worldwide.

Aamir Khan has set the benchmark so
high, that it would take nothing less
than a miracle for other stars like Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan, Hrithik Roshan and Ranbir Kapoor to match.
There are expectations that Bhajrangi Bhaijaan could challenge PK next year, and Shahrukh Khan's film with Rohit Shetty - if it does release during Christmas - could also have a chance if the word-of-mouth is good. But for now, realistically, the only records that the others will be chasing will be the
opening day and weekend. Like 3
Idiots, PK has raised the bar so high,
that there are fears that it will take
another 4 years for any other film to
come close.
