With an estimated budget lower than most Hollywood blockbusters but some of the biggest opening numbers ever seen in India, this movie quickly managed to surpass Rs. 100 cr (USD$1.5 million) and Rs. 200 cr (USD$3 million). It crossed the Rs. 300 cri (USD$4 million) mark shortly after – then went even higher to reach Rs. 400 cri (USD $5 million) faster than any other Indian film before it – all within only five weekends at the box office!
