'Ghajini' is a remake of A. R Murugadoss's hit Tamil movie Ghajini that in turn was inspired by director Christopher Nolan's psychological thriller 'Memento' starring Guy Pearce. The movie stars Aamir Khan as an amnesiac alongside actresses Asin and Jiah Khan.
The buzz is that the film will release with 1200 prints all over India, beating 'Singh Is Kinng' which was released with 1075 prints in August this year.
Reportedly Studio 18, the distributors of 'Ghajini' plan to do some aggressive distribution to tap the larger fan base of actor Aamir Khan by aggressive distribution of the film.
'Singh Is Kinng', was also from Studio 18.
Aman Gill, Director of Domestic Theatrical Distribution, Studio 18, has been quoted as saying: "Ghajini which released this Christmas will be the biggest and widest release ever, breaking the record set by 'Singh Is Kinng'."
Reportedly Bollywood suffered losses of Rs 600 million in the month of October when big budgeted films like 'Drona', 'Kidnap' and 'Karzzzz' bombed.
Actually the makers and the distributors are confident about 'Ghajini' and are banking on it. They are hoping that the prevalent economic crisis will be eased as Bollywood is struggling hard to cover the losses.
