Ghajini gains momentum

A R Murugadoss’s Hindi Ghajini is all set for a Christmas release. This film has garnered a lot of attention and expectation right from its start and the recent promotional campaign across the nation is said to have augmented the hype surrounding the film. Film’s hero Amir Khan is leaving no stone unturned and there appears to be a lot of ‘first’s associated with it.

Ghajini has reached a new, unheard rate of 100 crores in the distribution segment and a record number of 1200 prints have been released for screening. Three hundred special shows prior to the release of the film have been scheduled. Bollywood circles aver that this is the first of its kind and some multiplex theatres have increased the ticket rate to be 30% more than the actual rate. But this fact has not deterred Amir’s fans from buying the ticket and all tickets have been sold just after a few moments from the start of the ticket sale. Trade pundits predict that Ghajini will break all existing records in collection and will mark a new milestone in Bollywood. Meanwhile the film’s release in Tamil Nadu alone is stayed by Chennai High Court for an interim period following a petition filed by Salem Chandrasekhar who produced the Tamil version citing that Geetha Arts company who are producing the film in Hindi did not obtain the necessary rights from him to make the film in Hindi. The case is coming for hearing today.
