Aishwarya Rai’s Taal Box Office Blitz: 175% Higher Haul Left Amitabh Bachchan in the Dust on Aug 13, 1999

Brace yourselves, Bollywood buffs! Let’s dive into the time machine and travel back to August 13, 1999. Trust me, it was a day when the stars clashed, and the box office witnessed some serious fireworks. Sit tight and grab your popcorn, because Khabree Kiran is here to spill the beans!

Kohram VS Taal: The Epic Showdown!

Picture this: Aishwarya Rai, fresh off her success from Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, locks horns with the legendary Amitabh Bachchan. On this fateful day, Taal, a musical romance directed by Subhash Ghai, and Kohram, an action-packed flick featuring Big B, Nana Patekar, Tabu, and Jaya Prada, directed by Mehul Kumar, both hit the screens. 🥳

Now, let’s talk numbers, doston! Kohram took the lead on day 1, raking in a cool 95 lakh, which was 25% more than Taal‘s 76 lakh. Seems like Big B’s charm was still working its magic, hai na?

The Twist in the Tale!

But hold your horses, folks! The real drama unfolded in the following days. While Kohram fizzled out like a wet firecracker with just 8 crore in its kitty, Taal danced its way to a whopping 22.16 crore, running for a solid 70 days in theaters. That’s right, Aishwarya’s Taal gave Kohram a solid dhobi pachad, with 175% higher collections. 💃💥

August 13: A Date to Remember (or Forget?)

Fast forward to August 13, 2004, and looks like this date turned into Aishwarya’s achilles heel. Kyunn! Ho Gaya Na, starring her then-beau Vivek Oberoi and the legendary Amitabh Bachchan, crashed and burned at the box office, collecting a measly 7.8 crore. Ouch! 😬 The film was panned left, right, and center, and let’s just say, the aftermath with Salman Khan is something everyone would rather forget. 🙈

Kiran’s Gyan: Bollywood Ki Kismet!

Bhaiyya, Bollywood is like a game of snakes and ladders. Kabhi top pe, kabhi flop pe! One day you’re ruling the box office, and the next, you’re trolled to oblivion. So, stars, remember: Aaj ka box office hit, kal ka Twitter trend!
