Love Aaj Kal goes beyond boundaries

Love Aaj Kal has fetched a mind-boggling start in the international markets. A solo Saif Ali Khan starrer has never ever touched such numbers in the past in U.K., U.S.A. and Australia. The combined total from these three markets alone is approx. Rs. 10 crores in its opening weekend. Extra-ordinary… The film has also performed exceptionally well in U.A.E. and Pakistan
The reports of Love Aaj Kal are good, the audience feedback is positive and the opening weekend is expected to be humungous. In fact, the first weekend numbers of the film should easily find a place amongst the biggest openers ever. Another advantage is the Raksha Bandhan holiday on Wednesday [5th August], which will add that extra revenue to the booty.

Love Aaj Kal has cost Rs. 42 crores to its producers [Saif Ali Khan and Dinesh Vijan] and with P & A costs included, the final cost works out to approx. Rs. 48 crores [for Eros]. A major chunk of business is expected to be recovered from the domestic market, while Overseas is expected to be huge as well. In fact, the Thursday night shows in Pakistan were bigger than that of Kambakkht Ishq. Even UAE was higher than Kambakkht Ishq, where Love Aaj Kal collected approx. 6,50,000 Dirhams on its first day.
