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.
