Ghajini crosses Rs 200 cr mark

GhajiniGhajini, the biggest blockbuster of the year, has broke all the records in the history of Indian cinema. Its collection are increasing rapidly. On Wednesday, when booking for the movie opened at a theatre in UK, the film became the first to gross Rs 200 crore at the worldwide box office. It has grossed Rs. 162 crore in the domestic market and Rs 39 crore has come from overseas till Thursday.

Amod mehra, one of the trade consultant, said "Ghajini was very strong from day 1. it has been galloping like a one-horse race and in my estimate, it will cross the Rs 250 crore mark very easily." Bollywood producer Pankaj Kharbanda is also not surprised with the collection of Ghajini. He said "In the last year alone, there has been a 40% increase in cinema screens and also a rise in the cinema-going population. With most of the theatres recording good numbers on Ghajini, the 200 crore mark is hardly a surprise."

Ghajini released with the maximum numbers of prints in India and it made inroads for itself. A trade source said "Ghajini is set to take the mantle of the highest domestic bollywood earner from Anil sharma's Gadar - Ek Prem Katha." In the overseas market, the film is, till now, second only to Karan johar's Kabhi Alvida na Kehna. Ghajini has also earned Rs 4 crore from gaming rights, Rs 21 crore for satellite rights in India and overseas and something to the tune of Rs 10 crore for home video and music.
