- Day 1 collections worldwide on Christmas i.e 25th December - 33 crores (gross)! Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi managed about 18 crores worldwide on Day 1.
- Day 1 collections in India is around 10 crores (nett gross) while Rab Ne.. managed 7 crores.
- Ghajini is expected do somewhere between 38 - 40 crores in its intial weekend. SRK's Rab Ne did 25 crores.
- The full 7 day week nett gross of Rab Ne was 44 crores, Singh Is King was 43 crores and Golmaal Returns was 38 crores. Ghajini is expected, if it sustains on Monday, to hit 65 crores in its extended first week (8 days).
- The percentage of occupany, which is very close to 100%, can only be compared to the 2001 blockbuster Gadar - Ek Prem Katha. While Gadar released on 290 screens, Ghajini has released on 1100 screens!!!
- The overall Nett gross in India could touch 100 crores for the first time. Om Shanti Om (2007) with 86 crores and Dhoom 2 (2006) with 85 crores occupy the first and second spot currently.
- On the other hand, unfortunately, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi which was enjoying a decent run at the Indian boxoffice in its 2nd week, has been badly affected by the Ghajini storm. Will Rab Ne pick up after the Ghajini intial remains to be seen.
