Bajrangi Bhaijaan rocks in Pakistan too

Bollywood superstars Salman Khan‘s recent release has not won hearts in India but across the border too fans are going gaga over the Khan’s emotional performance. Yes Salman Khan fans in Pakistan were flocking the theaters to watch their favorite Bhaijaan in action.

Kabir Khan’s film is high on emotions. The timing was also perfect, it was released on the auspicious occasion of Eid. All shows over the five-day Eid weekend were sold out well in advance, theater owners had to add additional shows as early as 5:30 am to tackle festival rush.

Sources revealed that Pakistan’s Censor Board too passed it with a few cuts as they did not find anything much objectionable in it. The chairman of Pakistan Film Journalists Association Ather Javed Soofi said, “A couple of scenes, although, were edited/deleted as per the guidelines of the Pakistan Film Censor Board, but that hasn’t impacted the film’s story in any way, as that is what has helped strike a chord with all.”

Sources said, “Tickets were being sold in black at cinemas. Bajrangi Bhaijaan has made ‘1crore and 20 lakhs on the first day of the release itself followed by ’70 lakhs on the second day, despite being stacked against strong competition from Pakistani movies.”
