Aamir Khan/Raj Kumar Hirani's
latest offing PK is minting money at Box Office like never before in the
history of Indian Cinema. Setting cash registers ringing at the ticket windows,
the satirical film has grossed Rs 516 Crore (including music and video rights)
so far. According to trade analysts, the movie is very close to India's highest
grosser Dhoom 3 (Rs 542 Crore). Since PK is just two week old and still has a
lot of scope, it is almost certain that it's going to beat Dhoom 3 record.
Box office estimates that PK's
present earnings in India is pegged at Rs 278 Crore and International
Collections is at Rs 122 Crore. , bringing the overall collections to Rs 400
Crore.
Including music and video rights,
the movie said to have grossed Rs 516 Crore ($82 million). This is not all. Now
trade pundits are betting high on PK stating that Aamir's PK would touch the
$100 million milestone i.e., staggering Rs 630 Crore.
This would be the first Indian film
in 21st century expected to stagger across the line. Thanks to spree of
controversies engulfed the film right from its first look to post-release
controversies. PK's records are not just confined to India. PK is expected to
cross the $9M mark by the end of its third weekend in theaters in North
America, making it the highest-grossing foreign language film in North America
in 2014 where Hindi speakers are less thean 1% of population.
PK has grossed more in North
America than in both the UK and UAE combinedm, apparently the continent has
never seen box office sales this strong for a Bollywood movie.
