Salman Khan’s Ready Is Setting New Records At The Box Office
‘Never underestimate three things… I, Me and Myself…’ This goes true for Salman Khan who has proved his superstar status once again with the superhit flick, Bhushan Kumar’s READY, directed by Anees Bazmee, raking in the moolah at the box-office.
In other words, when Salman Khan and Bhushan Kumar get together, it is festival time. Literally. Never mind, if it is not Eid, Christmas or Diwali!
Releasing in the non-festival time, Bhushan Kumar’s READY starring Salman Khan setting new records and moving towards surpassing DABANGG in its opening day speaks by itself on the entertainment value of the flick and the mass adulation. In fact, READY is expected to surpass 3 IDIOTS (13 cr) and TEES MAAR KHAN (12.75 cr) record and is already much ahead of both films in the circuits like CP, C. and Rajasthan and a little behind DABANGG.
‘Bhushan Kumar’s READY is the biggest opener in the non-festive period,’ says a renowned name in trade circle. ‘It has struck like hurricane and fetched a mind-boggling opening. It is the No 2 grosser, slightly behind DABANGG.’
Yet another trade analyst adds, ‘READY causes earthquake at box-office. Good film, great music, super start…’
Bhushan Kumar is elated at the success of READY. Says he, ‘I am thankful to Salman Bhai for the superb human that he is. When you sign him on, you don’t sign an actor. You are with a man who thinks of the film in his waking and sleeping hours and gives the film his 200 per cent. That is what makes the film. Like we stated in the promos, Salman Khan is Ready. It is a tailor-made film for Salman Bhai and he has outshone himself as he does every time! No words can describe my joy. The real success of a film is when the masses acknowledge our efforts.’ Source
