'Jab Tak Hai Jaan' and 'Son Of Sardaar' together manage to earn a meagre Rs25 crore on opening day. Everyone connected to 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan' (JTHJ) and 'Son of Sardaar' (SOS) have been going gung ho about the fates of these films but then reality is something else.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh, tweeted that 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan' opening had a historic opening on Diwali day, but by far it really isn't an achievement but only a consolation. The collection on Tuesday was Rs 25 crore, but this figure is not for just one movie, but both the films put together.

'Son of Sardaar' starring Ajay Devgn and Sonakshi Sinha with Sanjay Dutt in tow and including a lot of promotions only managed Rs 10 crore on the opening day. The only grouse and excuse Ajay can come up with that the film did not get enough screens, but that’s not just the issue.

The film did not do well in many places. Talking of Yash Chopra’s swansong, 'JTHJ' really managed to garner a lot of sympathy and attention after the death of the veteran filmmaker. But then a Rs 15 crore opening does ot really justify the cost of the film and the hype that a SRK film generates, moreso when the film also has Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma in it. Had one of these films released and managed a Rs 25 crore collection, it would have been historic for sure.

Let us look at the numbers of the last Salman Khan starrer with Yash Raj Films. The film – 'Ek Tha Tiger' managed collections of Rs 32 crores which beats JTHJ by more than double the numbers and that too with a Yash Chopra as a director.

Hrithik Roshan’s 'Agneepath' had a first day opening of Rs 21 crore while Akshay Kumar, who is not going through a great period still had a 'Rowdy Rathore' opening at a similar Rs 15 crore and his other film 'Housefull 2' managed Rs 13.25 crore. SRK surely needs to rethink at this moment. As for Ajay, he needs to learn to put his ego behind his money.
