'Jab Tak Hain Jaan' garners 75 crores at the box-office

By: Bollywood Mantra Staff on 19th November 2012

"Jab Tak Hai Jaan" has been hyped
ever since the film went on floors. The film is Yash Chopra's last directorial
venture. The film was completed by him, leaving only a portion of a song to be
shot outdoors; in Yash Chopra's ever favorite Switzerland location.

This portion has been left out since
he died on the 21^st of October. The film stars Shah Rukh Khan,
Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma in pivotal roles. The film released this Diwali
and has been doing really well at the box office. This movie produced by Yash
Raj Films has been made with a budget of 50 crores. It has been shot in many
exotic foreign locales.

On the same date "Son of Sardar" released,
which belongs to the genre of action-comedy and stars Ajay Devgan, Sonakshi
Sinha and Sanjay Dutt. The film gave quite a tough competition but then "Jab
Tak Hai Jaan" made more mullahs at the box-office.

It is being estimated that JTHJ has
collected more than 75 crores already at the box-office. The film got released
on a Tuesday and its box-office collections have only improved over the
weekend. It has witnessed a good response on its opening date at the market in
overseas as well. Overseas collection has been a total of 26 crores.

The box-office collections of this
film decreased on Sunday, though on Saturday it did good business. The reason
of a decrease at the collections is due to the death of Shiv Sena's leader Bal
Thackeray. The film's screenings were cancelled at many places in Maharashtra
due to his funeral. The film could do a business of only 9.25 crores this
Sunday.

The Mumbai circuit is considered the
main centre of doing good business when it comes to Hindi films. With Bal
Thackeray's death and the theatres remaining shut JTHJ and SOS suffered a
severe setback in the collections.

The film has been doing very well at
the multiplexes; however, at the single-screens its business has not been that
strong. It had grossed 45 crores on its first three days of screening.

However, "Son of Sardar", too has
been doing pretty well at the box-office despite having too share the release
date with JTHJ. It has been released in 2000 theatres in comparison to JTHJ
being released at 2500 theatres.  "Son of Sardar" has collected 59
crores over the 6 days of its screenings and is nearing the 60 crore mark.
