Shah Rukh Khan is all set to beat himself within 4 days. Confused? Well read on then…
The King of Bollywood sweeped past newcomer Ranbir Kapoor within hours on Friday, he then gave Hollywood Oscar winner Tom Cruise a run for his money on Saturday, and if things keep going like this… then this time tomorrow night (Monday) he will have beaten himself. Saawariya was floored first, then Cruise starrer Lions For Lambs faced stiff opposition, and now predictions are that the total UK collections of Chak De India will be surpassed within hours by the super duper success of Om Shanti Om.
Offical UK Box Office takings for the Yash Raj sports flick Chak De India closed in UK on £416,917 (US $867,265 - INR 34,094,355)earlier this year. Current estimates for Farah Khan directed Eros International release Om Shanti Om stand at $400,000. Which means that within hours Om will have crushed Kabir.
Om Shanti Om is also very close to be titled as the Top Bollywood Grosser in the UK for 2007. That title currently belongs to the Akshay Kumar starrer Namastey London. It’s total UK collections are £830,851 (US $1,728,616 - INR 67,956,216). Expectations are that Om Shanti Om will indeed become the UK Number ONE within two weeks.
Chak de India wasnt a Hit in the UK, so ofcourse it will surpass it. Why dont you compare OSO with CDI success in India.
As per Taran Adarsh report CDI was hit in India not even superhit. Forget about blockbuster. It seems that all magazine were doing ‘Chamchagiri’ of SRK. They are pushing OSO and writing all bad about Saawariya. But ‘muddai lakh chahe to jya hota hai, Junta Jo Chahegi wohi hoga’. Saawariya started picking up and it is bad news for nautanki movie like OSO.
