Shahrukh Khan magic seems to be bailing Yashraj Films out of doldrums after a string of failures at box office. ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’, which marks the comeback of Aditya Chopra to film direction after eight years, has reportedly grossed Rs 90 crore in its opening week, which is on par with and in some places even higher than two of the highest opening week grossers till date, Om Shanti Om and Singh Is Kinng .The movie has also broken all earlier opening week collection records for Yash Raj Films, having surpassed the opening collections of Dhoom 2 , which is regarded as one of the highest grossing movies of all-time.he total collections for ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ in India are around Rs 42 crore net (gross collections were Rs 70 crore). The total gross collections for all overseas markets are over USD 4 Million (around Rs 20 crore), a YRF statement said on Thursday.In Middle East, ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' has broken all previous records for first week collections, netting just under USD 1.3 million. The previous highest grossing film in the Gulf region, having a sizeable Indian population, was ‘Dhoom 2’, which grossed approximately USD 1.86 million across its entire run.The Aditya Chopra-directed romantic flick, featuring newcomer Anushka Sharma , is on course to break this all-time record going into its second week, the statement said.The film has also had a grand opening week across all overseas markets, including the UK, USA, Australia, Europe, Africa, and Asia, and features in the list of the highest grossers for the opening week in most of these territories.
