Shah Rukh Khan’s comedy spoof made $5m dollors more than Saawariya internationally, and a staggering $8m more than the Tom Cruise political thriller Lions For Lambs.

Talking to a media reporter, Ranbir tried to make it clear, saying “Forget about replacing Shah Rukh Khan, I can’t do that in this lifetime.”

Hot Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan has spent ovver 60 lakh Indian rupees (US$150,000 - UK £75,000) of his own money on Ashutosh Gowarikar’s Jodhaa Akbar.

Now this might come as a big surprise to you, but Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum-opus Saawariya has done one better than Farah Khan’s Om Shanti Om… in New Zealand.

Om Shanti Om is breaking records all around the globe, and Australia no exception.

As predicted in our Box Office report from Saturday afternoon, Om Shanti Om and Saawariya have entered the UK Box Office charts at EXACTLY those positions.

The predicted Box Office failure of Saawariya has not dampened the career propspects of the film’s lead pair, as both Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor have been approached by numerous directors over the weekend.

First his debut got overshadowed by his father’s guest appearance in the other big release of the week, and now his movie might be removed from theatres and replaced by one that stars his cousin.

The critics bashed his movie till kingdom come, the cinema-goers will never forgive him for spoiling the Diwali occasion, parents of Ranbir and Sonam might never talk to him, Salman Khan will refuse to work with him ever again, no producer will ever give him another 800 million rupees, and his reputation as a first-grade director might be tarnished forever… but worry not Bhansali… because jiska koi nahin uska to Bachchan hai yaaro (for who has no one, has the Bachchans).

The film has been panned by critics and viewers alike. No one has liked the movie, and most have found it boring. Saawariya could have been a totally different film had Salman Khan’s 45 minute role was not reduced to a mere 5 minutes. That is probably the only one reason that Saawariya has become a bigger disaster than even Ram Gopal Verma Ki Aag.
