New Delhi: Aamir Khan-starrer ‘PK’ has become the first Bollywood film ever to cross the Rs 300 crore mark in box office collections. The humongous ‘PK’ box office collections come only in 17 days cementing its positions as the best ever Hindi movie.
The movie, directed by Rajkumar Hirani and also featuring Anushka Sharma, Sushant Singh Rajput, Boman Irani and Sanjay Dutt, has been setting the box office on fire by breaking all kinds of records since its release on December 19. Dogged by protests from right-wing Hindu organisations for showing alleged disrespect to Hindu religion, the film’s box office collections have broken the ‘formerly unreachable’ ‘Dhoom 3′ records to become the biggest grosser in Bollywood.

Director Rajkumar Hirani, while breaking the news, said the film’s word-of-mouth performance has been overwhelming.

The messages I get are overwhelming. People are watching the film over and over again. It’s humbling,” Rajkumar Hirani had said in a statement after ‘PK’ dethroned ‘Dhoom 3′ to become the top grossing movie of all time.

Here’s what trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted regarding ‘PK’ box office collections on Saturday:
Adarsh also tweeted termed the ‘PK’ as all time blockbuser:
The manner in which ‘PK’ movie has kept up its momentum in building up box office collections burnishes the Aamir Khan aura further and gives greater credence to the trend of his movies packing great stamina for the long run – his movies may start a little slow, but as the days turn into weeks, they show no signs of slacking in pulling in the crowds into theatres.
