It was in 2007, November 9, when Bollywood could have earned its first 100 crore film, way before Aamir Khan’s Ghajini. Unfortunately, the box office numbers split during one of the biggest clashes of that decade. It was Farah Khan VS Sanjay Leela Bhansali. It was Shah Rukh Khan & Deepika Padukone against Sonam Kapoor & Ranbir Kapoor.
Om Shanti Om VS Saawariya
It was on November 9, 2007, that Om Shanti Om and Saawariya arrived at the box office in what was assumed to be one of the biggest clashes that happened on Diwali. In one of her interviews, Farah Khan admitted that OSO was destined to be a 100-crore film. But fate turned away due to Saawariya’s ego clash!
Saawariya Box Office – Budget & Collection
Ranbir Kapoor‘s debut film opened at 3 crore at the box office. Mounted on a budget of a whopping 45 crore, it earned only 22.31 crore and was a disaster. It was one of the most anticipated star kid debuts at the box office that failed after Abhishek Bachchan’s Refugee!
