'PK' Movie ('Peekay') Box Office Collection: Aamir Khan-Starrer Grosses ₹620 Crore Worldwide -ibtimes




Aamir Khan-starrer "PK" ("Peekay") has grossed ₹620 crore at the worldwide box office with major chunk of its collections coming from India.


"PK" has minted ₹324.25 crore nett in 23 days including its fourth Saturday collections, which amount to ₹2.25 crore. The film's gross collections from India stand at ₹467 crore, while its collections from overseas markets amount to ₹153 crore. The Aamir-starrer has raked in ₹620 crore at the worldwide box office, according to Koimoi.
The film has surpassed the worldwide collections of "Dhoom 3" (₹542 crore), but it is yet to beat the overseas collections of "Dhoom 3", which stand at ₹170 crore.
"PK" has emerged as the highest grossing film of 2014 and has already created the ₹300-crore club. According to trade experts, "PK" might end up collecting ₹340 crore as lifetime collections at the Indian box office. The recent protests over the film's content seem to have affected the film's collections to some extent.
"It would have done better had all the religious uprisings not occurred. Since the theatres were being vandalised at certain places by the religious protesters, many avoided going to the cinema halls, thus affecting the collections a bit," exhibitor and distributor Akshaye Rathi told the Financial Express.
Besides having done well in India, "PK" has also performed exceptionally well in major overseas markets like the US, Australia and the UK. It has also done good business in Pakistan by minting over ₹18 crore and is expected to soon beat the collections of Pakistani film "Waar," which was reportedly the highest grossing film of 2014 in the country.
"PK has made over Rs18 crore in Pakistan and continues to attract movie-goers. It will be in cinemas until the end of January so I'm sure it will make a lot more," Hassaan Rizvi, Marketing Manager from Distributor Club (PVT) Ltd, told Dawn.
The success of "PK" has once again proved the star power of Aamir Khan. Despite not being a commercial entertainer, "PK" has managed to attract the audience, thanks to its unique theme and Aamir's performance. The second-time collaboration of the actor with director Rajkumar Hirani has struck gold at the box office post the stupendous success of their 2009-release "3 Idiots."
With new release "Tevar" having failed to take off on a good start, "PK" is expected to continue doing some decent business at the box office.

Peshawar sinks in gloom - TALIBAN SHAMELESS TERROR ATTACK ON PAKISTAN

PESHAWAR: December 16, which is the blackest day for the country due to its dismemberment in 1971, has added another black chapter to the national history. Now, the day will be remembered for the gloom and destruction descended on the provincial capital.   There was no letup in the wailing of ambulance sirens. Dozens of ambulances, both of government as well as non-governmental organisations, seemed to be running short for ferrying bodies of students and teachers of the Army Public School and College, who fell prey to the devastating act of terrorism on Tuesday. There were ambulances of different hue and colour, but all serving the same purpose of carrying the injured and the bodies to major hospitals, including the Combined Military Hospital and the Lady Reading Hospital. The ambulances were bringing gloom to those whose children were killed by terrorists. People searching for their near and dear ones in the hospitals and on the Warsak Road, where the ill-fated educational institu...

India on brink of 'quantum leap,' Modi tells investors -reuters

(Reuters) - Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi promised on Sunday to pursue predictable policies and ensure stable taxes, in a speech that sought to address concerns for foreign investors in Asia's third-largest  economy . U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry led a roll call of leaders, including U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and World Bank head Jim Yong Kim, converging on Modi's home town of Gandhinagar for the Vibrant Gujarat business summit. U.S. President Barack Obama visits India later this month. Eight months into Modi's rule, his failure to lift the economy from its longest growth slowdown in a generation has raised questions about how much substance there is behind his promise of "red carpet, not red tape". "We're trying to complete the circle of economic reforms speedily," Modi told the event that he founded when he was chief minister of the industrial state. "We are also keen to see that our policies are predictable. We're clea...
