"This is huge because Ragini MMS 2 is now being spoken of in the same vein as Ghajni and Grand Masti, which made 100 crore each despite an 'A' certificate. Though Ragini MMS 2 won't come close to that, it would still be in the Top-5, as the only other films to have fared better are The Dirty Picture (85 crore) and Raaz 3 (70 crore)," informs a trade source. He adds, "Also, let's not forget that Ragini MMS 2 has been made on a much smaller budget than these films."
Incidentally, every film in the list after this is a Balaji production. While Kyaa Super Kool Hain Hum net 45 crores in India, Shootout at Wadala stood at 55 crores, a total that should be comfortably surpassed by Ragini MMS-2 which has already crossed 45 crores. All are 'A'-rated films. That said, Balaji's next features are universal entertainers, Main Tera Hero and The Villain.
Meanwhile Ekta is thrilled with the way Ragini MMS-2 has fared. "Its success allows me to further experiment and push the envelope," she says.
Well, with nothing much left to imagination in the Sunny Leone-starrer, one waits to see what remains of the envelope when it gets pushed further.
