Dharma Productions ‘Agneepath’, starring Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra, Sanjay Dutt and Rishi Kapoor’, seems intent on making new records at the box office. Agneepath, which released on the Republic Day, opened with a staggering amount of Rs 23 crores over the weekend.
The movie already broke ‘Bodyguard’s’ record by becoming the highest grosser on the opening day.
Now the movie has entered the elite club of 100 crore movies in just 9 days from its release. But still the movie ‘Bodyguard’ holds the record for hitting the mark fastest as it collected 100 Crore in just 7 days.
This is the first time that a movie starring either Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra or Sanjay Dutt has reached the 100 crore mark.
The 100 crore club was opened by Aamir Khan starrer ‘Ghajini’ in 2008. It was followed by Aamir Khan’s ’3 Idiots’, which achieved the feat in 9 days.
‘Agneepath’ is the first movie in 2012 to achieve this amount of success.
“Agneepath is the latest entrant in 100 cr nett Club. Collected Rs 15.25 cr nett in Wknd 2, taking total to Rs 106.3 cr nett. Super Hit,” tweeted trade analyst Taran Adarsh.
Produced by Karan Johar, the remake is directed by Johar´s former assistant Karan Malhotra. This is the first time Dharma Movies have produced a movie in the action genre.
This 'Agneepath' by the Dharma Productions is a remake of the 1990 Bollywood film directed by Mukul Anand starring Amitabh Bachchan, Mithun Chakraborty, Madhavi, Rohini Hattangadi and Danny Dengzongpa.
