Ranbir Kapoor and Nargis Fakhri’s Rockstar rakes in the millions

Eros International reports that Imtiaz Ali’s Rockstar, starring Ranbir Kapoor and Nargis Fakhri, and featuring chartbusting music by Oscar-winner AR Rahman, has done stellar business in its opening weekend grossing Rs. 64 crore. The Ashtavinayak Cine Vision co-production grossedRs. 53 crore in India (Rs 37 crore net) and Rs. 11 crore overseas. The film that released on 11.11.11 fortuitously collected Rs. 11.25 crore on its opening day.

As is customary, we must cede the floor to the Eros mouthpieces. Nandu Ahuja, Sr VP, Distribution, Eros International Media Ltd said, “Imtiaz Ali has once again captured the audiences’ imagination and coupled with Ranbir Kapoor’s exemplary performance, Rockstarhas opened to a superb response across the country, especially in the multiplexes. This is Ranbir’s biggest ever opening and elevates him to the league of superstars for sure. With colleges re-opening this week, we are looking at the film remaining steady at the box office through the week.

Not to be outdone, Pranab Kapadia, President – Distribution – Eros International added, “Eros International adds another feather to its cap with Rockstar which has been appreciated worldwide. It has taken a fantastic opening overseas and has fared very well in UK, USA and the Middle East.” According to Naaz Building insiders, this set of figures from Eros appears to be accurate, unlike the bloated numbers they released for the dud RA.One.
