Ek Tha Tiger: Salman Khan's biggest hit in New Zealand

New Delhi: Salman Khan's 'Ek Tha Tiger' continues to break records in India and overseas. The film has become Salman Khan's biggest hit in New Zealand. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweets, "#EkThaTiger is @BeingSalmanKhan’s biggest hit in New Zealand. Biz at par with #3Idiots, #MNIK and #Housefull2 there."

Adarsh further gives the break-up of the business, "#EkThaTiger *New Zealand* Wed NZ$ 5,794 [3 screens yet to report]. Total: NZ$ 176,143 [Rs 79.38 lacs]."

The film is also doing well in Australia, "#EkThaTiger *Australia* Wed A$ 15,227. Total: A$ 494,248 [Rs 2.87 cr]. Ranks amongst the biggest grossers in Australia."

Salman Khan's latest blockbuster has earned Rs 137 crore in seven days, but the movie lacks a good storyline. If rumours are to be believed, the makers are planning a sequel too. Do you think Salman Khan's magic will work again?
Golmaal: Just because Rohit Shetty's 2006 film 'Golmaal' made money at the box office, he churned out two more sequels of the film. With almost no story and stale jokes, the 'Golmaal' series is the best example of brainless comedies.
Hate Story: Bengali actress Paoli Dam made her Bollywood debut with the so-called erotic thriller 'Hate Story'. Though the film badly failed at the box office, director Vivek Agnihotri still wants to make a sequel. Paoli Dam will not appear in 'Hate Story' part 2. Thank God!
Tanu Weds Manu: Soon after 'Tanu Weds Manu' became a hit, director Anand Rai announced to make its sequel. Madhavan and Kangna Ranaut will play the lead characters in the sequel too. We hope Kangna will take a lesson and not overact in the sequel.
Hera Pheri: Released in 2000, Priyadarshan's 'Hera Pheri' was high on entertainment value. Obviously, audiences had high expectations from its sequel. However, 'Phir Hera Pheri' was completely a let down.
Ghayal: Sunny Deol's 'Ghayal' released in 1990 was a blockbuster. Bipasha Basu has been cast opposite Sunny Deol in its sequel 'Ghayal Returns'. Isn't it too late to make a sequel?
Dhamaal: Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, Javed Jaffrey, Sanjay Dutt and Aashish Chaudhary tasted success with 'Dhamaal'. They tried to encash the hype and returned with Mallika Sherawat and Kangna Ranaut in cast. As expected, 'Double Dhamaal' turned out to be a box office dud.
Welcome: Remember Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar's 'Welcome'. There was a time when all Akshay Kumar films made huge money at the box office. 'Welcome' is one of them. Anees Bazmee is directing 'Welcome Back'.
Yamla Pagla Deewana: Bobby Deol, Sunny Deol and Dharmendra managed to grab eyeballs with their crazy comedy 'Yamla Pagla Deewana'. Now, they have signed Neha Sharma and Russian model Kristina Akheeva for the sequel. Is anybody really interested?
Nagina: After the success of 'Nagina', Sridevi tried her luck again with snake stories with 'Nigahen'. This time she was seen romancing Sunny Deol. The film had nothing new to offer and sank without a trace.
