It took Agneepath, starring Hrithik Roshan in the lead, eleven days to make an entry into the billion club. After raking in a formidable Rs. 92 crore in its first-week run at theatres, the movie added another Rs. 15.50 crores to its kitty to take the aggregate to Rs. 107. 50 crore.
The film has done well overseas also, grossing an estimated Rs. 22 crore in 8 days. Ever since its release on January 26, Agneepath has gone uncontested at box office, with no major release. Gali Gali Chor Hai released on Friday was a damp squib with a mere 10 percent response at theatres.
Interestingly, there are only nine films so far that have entered the Rs. 100 crore club. Agneepath is Hrithik Roshan’s first film in the league. Ironically, the original movie, starring Amitabh Bachchan in the lead, was a flop. It was produced by Karan Johar’s dad Yash Johar.
