    • AUZAAR weekend opening was at 70%, but then dropped HEAVILY after the weekend. This is when VIRASAT picked up and stayed on long term…pretty sure VIRASAT was released on the smae day as AUZAAR in 97 AND was a success!

    • Swadesh was outright flop. Movie earned DS of around 10 Crore (17 Crore Nett) while DP was 16 Crore for all india. Distributors lost around 6 Crore on it.

  6. Wasn’t Border a Blockbuster, because I remember it did rocking business in Mumbai and East Punjab territory? Based on the list above, is Komal saying that Hero No.1 and Judwaa was a bigger hit than Ziddi?

    • Border was blockbuster, 200%+ ROI. All time hit by today’s falling standards where even losing propositions are calling Hit and 10-15% profits are blockbusters.

      • But as mentioned from my previous post, is Komal saying that Hero No.1 and Judwaa was a bigger hit than Ziddi?
