SRK'S CALLED DON WHEREVER HE GOES
 
Audiences give thumbs-up to Khan's latest film

Reliance Entertainment and Excel Entertainment's Don 2, which released on December 23, got a spectacular opening worldwide.
   At the close of first week's business, new box-office records were established in domestic and overseas markets. The film has also registered better collections than SRK's Diwali release RA.One in many foreign markets, insist Don 2 producers. And the claim has been substantiated by reliable trade sources.
   Don 2 is now the highest grossing film starring Shah Rukh Khan in the first week in North America. It is also the third highest grossing Hindi film in Australia and New Zealand and is said to be only behind 3 Idiots and MNIK. The film has also broken records in Pakistan.
   Trade analyst Taran Adarsh confirms that it will be in the top five overseas grossers of all time. "The sequel held steady at the box office even on weekdays. Kudos to the film and SRK."
   Says director Farhan Akhtar, "We attempted a new kind of Indian action film with Don 2 and it worked tremendously."
   While Don's dushmans tried to bring the movie down, they should have known, Don ke boxoffice numbers ko rokna mushkil hi nahi namumkin hai.
   The audience's love for Don is evident all across the globe, so much so that people are referring to Shah Rukh as Don wherever he goes and are mouthing dialogues from the film. Don's anti-hero traits coupled with his panache have left the audience wanting more. The third installment in the franchise is already being keenly anticipated.

and Ra.One failed more due to horrendous script not the concept IMHO...I dont know what was SRK thinking while bringing Abhinav on board 😳

but yeah any decent script with no big banner backing will work no matter what...look at Udaan ...
Ra1 dint fail...2nd highest gross after 3I (worldwide) ..
In india  :
ready:120cr. =BB
Ra1 :132cr.=HIT
i think more than script genre z a problem ..the movie mainly liked by teens/kids ...also disliked by many esp. indian critics ...
i agree ,SCRIPT ws not strong as hollywood superhero movies ..but those r copied from books(HP,spiderman,superma)...also Anubhav sinha z not a great director ... 

as a producer,SRK tried everything ...the VFX/special effects r world class.don2 luks nothing infront of that ... 

edit :yess SRK has 2 work on scripts ..cant belv ,he refused to 3I😆

Don 2 Second Friday Looks Good

Posted by admin on December 31st, 2011

Don 2 Was Quite Strong at the Box Office on its Second Friday. It Started on a Decent Note for the Morning Shows and picked up nicely in the evening.

All Credits for this may be given to the holidays which are running currently. It has been Reported from many places that youth and students are watching this film a lot. This can be credited to the Winter Vacations in Colleges/Schools at this time.

The Figure for 2nd Friday is approximately 3.25 crores. This is a Good Figure. And if there are jumps on 2nd saturday and Sunday then the Weekend is Likely to Finish at 13 crores Plus.

These Jumps Would Really Help us decide if Don 2 is touching that 100 cr Mark or not !

wow!!! hope the figures keep rising👏...congrats to Team Don...Farhan was truly a Santa for us this year😊
