Ajay Devgn And Rohit Shetty Set New Records With Golmaal Again At The Box Office

This can well be seen from the fact that the film has emerged as Ajay Devgn’s second biggest opener till date, and Rohit Shetty’s third biggest opener ever.

Incidentally, each of Ajay Devgn’s biggest three openers [Singham Returns, Golmaal Again, Bol Bachchan] has been with Rohit Shetty. This can well be seen in the list below:

Singham Returns – 32 crore

Golmaal Again – 30.14 crore

Bol Bachchan – 12.10 crore

Himmatwala – 12.10 crore

Baadshaho – 12.03 crore

Satyagraha – 11.21 crore

Action Jackson – 11 crore

Son of Sardaar – 10.72 crore

Raajneeti – 10.50 crore

Shivaay – 10.24 crore

As a matter of fact, Sajid Khan’s Himmatwala finds itself tied for the third slot as it collected the same moolah on its opening day as Bol Bachchan. Nonetheless, films like Singham Returns and Golmaal Again (both sequels) have been happy exceptions for Ajay Devgn where he has scored huge by a very good margin. That said, he has been regularly churning out films with a double-digit score on the opening day itself, which is a big deal indeed for the superstar who has been around for over 25 years now.

On the other hand, Rohit Shetty too is finding himself placed regularly in the record books. Golmaal Again is next only to Chennai Express and Singham Returns, two films that he did with Shah Rukh Khan and Ajay Devgn respectively. Immediately after Golmaal Again is Dilwale which was Rohit Shetty’s last release and again with Shah Rukh Khan. All other films in the list below are the ones where Rohit collaborated with Ajay Devgn:

Chennai Express – 33.10 crore

Singham Returns – 32 crore

Golmaal Again – 30.14 crore

Dilwale – 21 crore

Bol Bachchan – 12.10 crore

Singham – 8.94 crore

Golmaal 3 – 8.50 crore

With Singham 3 as the next expected film from the Ajay Devgn and Rohit Shetty combo, one can well expect a lethal opening all over again once it hits the screens.
