Ghajini Collapses at Box Office
Ghajini, the ugly copy of Memento, has turned in a so-so performance at the U.S. box office.
For the five-day Christmas holiday weekend of Dec 24-28, Ghajini managed a total gross of only $1.387 million.
One would have expected Aamir Khan’s Ghajini to rake in more moolah given that it released during the holiday season here as well as the immense media hype that accompanied the release.
Here’s a look at how Ghajini fared compared to some prominent Bollywood films in the opening weekend at the U.S. box office:
Here’s an excerpt from SearchIndia.com’s review of Ghajini:
In these hard economic times, if your 2009 New Year Resolution is to cut back on wasteful spending and save money for the rainy days ahead, we suggest you start in the fading days of 2008 by skipping this piece of stolen junk called Ghajini.
Yes, the Hindi Ghajini is the same stolen piece of shit that director and thieving swine A.R.Murugadoss palmed off as his creation in its Tamil predecessor.
Many of the similarities we pointed out in the Tamil version between Ghajini and the Hollywood classic Memento are to be found in the Hindi version as well. We won’t refer to the similarities again here but you may see the list of copied scenes here.
i can’t believe Jodhaa Akbar had a better opening than Rab Ne. How come?

Maybe, our desis are getting smarter.
Not exactly a perfect place to post this but thought it was quite impressive, especially as the Rose Bowl and the parade are a huge deal.

Here’s the link to the picture of the Bollywood float at the Rose Parade.
Considering myself and some of my friends for example, since Ghajini is too violent a movie for a family with kids, we didn’t go to the theater whereas, Jodha Akbar, Om Shanti Om were acceptable for kids. This makes a major difference.

Ghajini is too violent a movie for kids and too crappy a movie for adults.
Guess, the only ones lapping it up are the dolts.
Box office collections not impressive, my ass. It has become the first Indian film to cross the Rs. 100 crore mark in the first week, crossing even the Rs. 150 crore mark. But then why let facts interfere in the way of a wonderful fictional story, suiting your agenda?

You write above: Box office collections not impressive, my ass.
The U.S. box office numbers speak for themselves.
Given that the stolen shit Ghajini released during the five-day holiday weekend of December 24-28, 2008 in the U.S., its collection is not in the least bit impressive.
To all those who have not seen this piece of garbage, we say consider yourself blessed.

1. You write above: i dont no what to say …
Since you start with such an abject confession, you should have said nothing.
Because what follows is pure garbage.
Some people are born stupid. Some achieve stupidity. And some have stupidity thrust on them. And your singular disgrace in life is to fall in all three categories.
2. You write: What’s wrong if its a remake or copy of momento…i bet majority of them haven’t seen momento…What’s wrong in remaking which is good???
Sure, majority of Indian men (99.9999999%) and 100% of NRI men do not have Aishwarya Rai as their wife. So, is it fine then to go and grab her.
Sure, majority of Indians have not seen a diamond ring. So, is it fine then to go and steal one.
Sure, millions of Mumbaikars do not have a roof over their head. So, is it fine then to go and do an apartment grab of the affluent folk.
That said, a remake is fine as long as it’s acknowledged and you have compensated the original creator/owner.
Ghajini is stolen shit. Get that fact into the mass of hair you confuse for your head, moron.
3. Given that the stolen shit Ghajini released during the five-day holiday weekend of December 24-28, 2008 in the U.S., its collection is not in the least bit impressive.
