In all, the film has turned out to be a record-breaking success, something that not many expected out of it when announced for Diwali arrival. To think about it, earlier this year there were even doubts if the film would indeed release on Diwali since the festival was already booked for Rajinikanth and Akshay Kumar’s 2.0. With the film moving to January next year, the slot was left open and this is when Golmaal Again had decided to step in. Even here, many were surprised when Aamir Khan decided to release his Secret Superstar during the same season and it seemed that a massive clash would be underway.

As is the case though, the clash has turned out to be largely one-sided with Golmaal Again walking away with a massive chunk of the audience.

*Estimates. Final numbers awaited
