Akshay Kumar’s Housefull 2 Enters The 100 Crore Club
Defying the IPL craze and the flak from the critics, director Sajid Khan’s film Housefull 2 has entered the Rs. 100 crore club 17 days after its release.
In its third weekend at box office, the film, starring Akshay Kumar, John Abraham, Asin and Jacqueline Fernandez in lead roles, added another Rs. 9 crore approximately to its kitty and crossed the Rs. 100 crore mark, much to the jubilation of the producer Sajid Nadiadwala.
Meanwhile, among the latest releases, Vicky Donor has stolen the march over Hate Story with a collection of Rs. 7.5 crore in the opening week. Hate Story, introducing the bongshell Paoli Dam to Bollywood, could only make Rs. 7 crore. While Vicky Donor did well at multiplexes, Hate Story attracted footfalls at B centres.
Meanwhile, talking about the 100 crore club, Housefull 2 is the first film featuring either Akshay Kumar or John Abraham to enter the club. The club came into being in 2008 when Ghajini by Aamir Khan crossed the mark untouched by any Hindi film.
Since then 10 more films have made it to the club, but it is the Khans who have dominated this elite bunch.
