Jai Ho Salman bhai ki, actor distributes Rs.2 crore among crew

Bollywood actor Salman Khan who is popular among masses for his generous, kind hearted, 'being human' acts has proved all of it again. His latest film Jai Ho, might not have striked the right chord, but the actor has celebrated his joy with the team in a very unique way.

A leading publication reported that Salman gave a cheque of Rs.1 lakh as a token of thanks to each one of those associated with the film. The entire amount came to about Rs.2 crore.

The publication quoted a source as saying, "Though Jai Ho didn't do as well as expected, Salman was very happy with the work done by the cast and crew. Hence, he thought that he would give them something as a token of appreciation. He called every member of the Jai Ho team, including spot boys and cameramen and handed them a cheque from his own personal account."

Salman is not the only one who is charitable from the Khan-daan. His father as well as his brothers are involved with several charitable causes.

Salman Khan's Jai Ho box office collections finally reach Rs 100 crore, still far behind Dhoom 3

Jai Ho box office collections have finally managed to reach the coveted Rs 100 crore figure, after 10 days following its release, a number reached by Aamir Khan's Dhoom 3 in just three days.

Salman Khan, one of Bollywood's leading stars, has not been able to prop up the Jai Ho at the box office with massive collections. With the Salman magic diminishing and everyone has been left wondering when will the movies pass the first hurdle, let alone reach the mammoth record set by Dhoom 3.

According to figures confirmed by the Eros International plc (Eros), Jai Ho's box office collections was 102.58 crore with an impressive US$ 16.3 million gross worldwide, despite its release on a non-holiday weekend.

"#JaiHo *actuals* Week 1 - 88.78 cr, Wknd 2 - 13.80 cr. Grand total: ₹ 102.58 cr nett. India biz only. Figures confirmed by Eros," tweeted trade analyst Taran Adarsh.

Jai Ho's box office collections have been Rs 88.78 crore for the first week (till Thursday) as far as India business is concerned.

‘Jai Ho’ had collected a 'meager' Rs 17.75 crore on its opening day. Though the film's business did pick up on January 26 and collected Rs 26 crore, it was unable to sustain it the next day. Aamir Khan-starrer Dhoom 3 has the highest opening day domestic box office collections record of Rs 36.22 crore.

Produced by Eros and Sohail Khan Productionz, the Salman Khan hit has appeared on approximately 5,000 screens worldwide starting on January 24, 2014.

Jai Ho also started on a slow note in the international arena. The film, however, picked up and fared exceptionally well in UAE-GCC region, Pakistan and USA-Canada with the collections of Rs 22.38 crore. Overall, it managed to collect $4.5 million (Rs 28.20 crore) till Wednesday. In Pakistan, Jai Ho collected Rs 2.21 crore in the opening weekend.

Salman Khan's 'Jai Ho' gets U/A certificate with cuts?

The film has been reportedly passed by the Central Board of Film Certification with a U/A certificate and a number of cuts.

Superstar Salman Khan's young fans, who form a sizeable slice of his mammoth fan-following, may need to be accompanied by adults to be able to see his latest film "Jai Ho".

The film has been reportedly passed by the Central Board of Film Certification with a U/A certificate and a number of cuts.

"Actually, this is quite an unusual situation for a Salman-starrer. His films are usually passed with a 'U' certificate with minimum or no cuts. But 'Jai Ho' is a political thriller about a common man's successful attempt to foil an assassination bid against a chief minister," said a source.

"There are many very hard-hitting dialogues against corruption in present-day Indian politics. This is Salman's first film with a strong political statement," added the source.

It is said that the censor board asked for some of Salman's tirade against corrupt politicians and their dubious politics to be toned down or beeped out.

"There were no abusive dialogues. Salman doesn't abuse on screen. But there are several references to current politics that could have made real-life politicians uncomfortable. These have gone. Also, some seconds from a few action scenes that were found to be lengthy," said the source.

With the cuts and the 'U/A' certificate, "Jai Ho" becomes Salman's first censor-restricted film.

The film will come out Jan 24.
