Released in theatres last weekend, Talaash has collected approximately 65-67 crores at the domestic box office in it’s first week. With the release of Khiladi 786 this weekend, the Aamir Khan starrer is unlikely to cross the 100 crore mark and should end it’s theatrical run at 90-95 crores nett.
A lot readers here have been asking us about the costs and the price at which the theatrical rights were sold to Reliance. Details below..
- Total costs: Talaash was made on a budget of Rs 45-47 crores including print and marketing.
- The budget does not include Aamir Khan‘s acting fee. Instead, he will get a share of the profits.
- Worldwide theatrical rights: Sold to Reliance for Rs 60 crores.
Recovery – Revenue generated (Note: Approximates)
- Music rights: 4 crores
- Home video rights: 2 crores
- Overseas Distributors share: 20 crores (expected)
- Domestic Distributors share: 45 crores (expected, if the film does 90-95 crores nett)
- Satellite rights: 40 crores
- Total recovery: 111 crores
Overall, Talaash will be a profitable film for all involved – Reliance and the producers (Aamir Khan, Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar).

@afraz you are an idiot. Aamir didnt fail to enter the 100 cr club. Do you think he cares about the 100 cr or 200 cr club which he himself started? If he did then after 3 idiots he would have got back to shooting sequels, making a franchise or shooting a stupid masala film just so that he can continue making 100 cr films. But he didnt, unlike the rest of bollywood who are chasing the 100 cr benchmark, Aamir is continuing to chase perfection and give Indian audiences the world over new types/styles of films. And FYI Aamir can and he WILL come back next year and start a new club: it will be known as the 300 cr club. PS Hrithiks Krrish 3 will be the next film to join the 200 cr club but it will be Dhoom 3 which will start the 300 cr club. Aamir roxxxXX
@lil w_yne
haha,Sallu is real boxoffice king in last 4 years not whole 20 years…
Dont count ATBBs..
count the success ratio…
2000-2009 was Bad time for Sallu while SRK given atleast 1 HIT per year…
@navin
LOL,300cr nett is IMPOSSIBLE…
we wait for 6-7 years where India will have highest multiplex then
300cr is possible…
so dont say Dhoom 3 will be 300cr and SAY ONLY 200+cr…
@raj

and so many HITs..
ANd tell me how many sallu given FLOPS in last 10 years…
Success Ratio is way better than ATBBs….Understand…
@raj, my initial suspicion about you were that you were just a passionate fan of SRK but now Im beginning to think that you may just be slightly retarded too… Heres the thing, 2008 saw the creation of the 100 cr club by Aamir. A year (not 6 or 7) but one year later we had the 200 cr club once again started and currently occupied by Aamir and him alone. So why wait another 6 years or so when we all know that when Aamir does an all out and out commercial film then it will inevitably not just break records but set new benchmarks!!! Now that my friend is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Get a grip on reality, Aamir roxxXx
Dull busines of talaash has shown dat amirji needs mastrpiece fr the succes of hs film,he dnt hv the star powr lik sk n srk
boxoffice collection is so poor. I agreed the genere but like this genere movie like murder2 has earned 63cr in indian in 1200screens.
and kahani 50cr in 900screens without starpower. I just on a unfortunate situation to say its dissapointment from aamir.
67cr week 1.
week 2 15 cr
lifetime 85cr .its sad collection because we all aamir khan fans thought min 130cr nett and max200cr .
Talaash Thursay = 3.0 -3.5 crores
Talaash first week = 64-65 crores ACTUAL & not estimated. It will need 35 crores to get to 100 crores club safely.
Talaash Max BO collection lifetime = 85-90 crores.
@ Karan
why I laugh at Aamir fans & sallu fans. Its easy to get to 140 or 150+ crores when movie has masti, masala male bonding plot.
If you look at Aamir’s BBs all had “fun”, “masti”, “masala” oriented message movies: RDB, 3-IDIOTs.
GHAJINI was also masala but “action” masala which was mindless & 2 hrs running length.
SRK has carried boring 3 hour movies to 100+ crores club. which were devoit of “masti masala action” genre which sells today.
Ra.One, Don-2 & now JTHJ. Last despite all the stoppages & SOS masala same day release competition.
SRK is a bad selector of storys & screenplays unlike Aamir who thinks about story & script and selects. SRK needs to stop hanging out with his friends to do movies from here on. If he selects scripts liike Chak De on regular basis I can see him easily crossing 150+ crores or probably even 200+ crores.
Felt sad fr amirji he lost to ranbir, even barfi ws nt a masala film.
I hope Taalash is still on circuit during the Christmas season – many of us have not been able to watch the mivie because there were n holidays.
talaash indian net collection will be 95-100 core,so it can be safe superhit if not blockbuster,in overseas it has chance to be blockbuster by doing more than 65 core….so overall not bad infact it is good…..i think.
@ jerry singham box office running time in cross 101 cr mark 100 %
This film may be profitable but it does not deserve it! And I say that as an Aamir Khan fan! Considering his past standards we took pride in comparing his new films to his own previous benchmarks – which used to be the highest anyway! Profits or collections be damned! The most important thing an Aamir Khan film ought to have is OUTSTANDING quality! It was depressing to see a potentially good script not executed well and all elements not coming together to translate into a coherent film! 3 years of wait for this?
Never expected 3 Idiots or Lagaan from this film anyway. But didn’t think it’ll be this underwhelming either! Talaash is not a bad film. It’s just okayish. And just okay or “good” is no way acceptable for an AAMIR KHAN FILM!! There’s “good” and then there’s a classification which is “Aamir Khan Good”! This man has set such high standards with his work previously and surpassed expectations each time, making it hard for audience to choose which his best film is – and now, he comes up with this?
Already he tests us fans patience with years and years of breaks. I’m one of those fans who goes to theatres only to watch an Aamir Khan film! I can’t help but feel disappointed at what I saw, stepping into theatre after nearly 3 years…for this?!
It’s already so hard for us to keep patience and wait for so long. At end of such wait, we deserve the content which is worth it!
When one sees AKP and Excel coming together, one feels they’d do something which will completely blow us away and redefine cinematic experience! Just didn’t believe this was what the 2 gamechanger banners would collaborate to come up with!
I hope Aamir knows what audience expects from him and what high regard they have for him! He failed to compete with himself. I don’t even bother to compare him to other actors, because I already consider them far below his standards. Sorry but this is not our Ace!
Won’t defend or lower down expectations. Will wait for Aamir to again give epic films which shall be remembered for generations to come!
Please read, Khiladi 786 is so bad that you would feel like jumping off the balcony while watching this movie and if at all you survive you are going to need a disprin tablet within 15 minutes of seeing the movie or else u would be bed ridden with severe depression for a month
@jerry:Aamir is the only one sitting in the “200 cr club” as of now which both Salman and SRK are yet to achieve!And Aamir was the one to begin the 100 cr club way back in 2008 when that figure was unthinkable!
Talaash is a suspense film and I really enjoyed watching it in NYC. The theatre was full at 4:55p and you could hear a pin drop at the silence and engagement of the audience. India should stop judging films on box office earnings. If not all directors will only concentrate on Masala since that’s want the masses want and lose sight of good scripts. Rather look realistically at genre. You cannot compare apples to oranges, a masala vs thriller using box office earnings as the common denominator. This week I watched Talassh, JTJH, and Skyfall and I enjoyed all 3 based on their individual uniqueness not box office
Lil w-yne answer has already been given by raj. And by the way all salman’s 100c movie is remake except ett. But srk 100c is original. What have you to say? Salman to chor hi h chori karke film banata h aur yaad h na salman khan ka 45 flop film h jisme 35 flop wo h jiska budget 30c se kam tha.
what happened to amir khan perfection
what happened to his fans who were barking 250cr ?
