‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ crosses 100 crore worldwide

Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma's ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ did not open to a great start at the box office. Despite the hype, the movie couldn’t spread its magic on screen. The bad reviews could be the reason behind the fall, however the movie did reasonably well overseas.

The movie fell victim of bad reviews due to bad script or bad execution.

The film stands with the total of 47.50 crores* net (68.40 crores gross) at the Indian box office. Overseas the film has done reasonably well by collecting over 44.16 crores (USD 6.9 million) till now. Summing up the Indian and overseas collections the film’s worldwide total now stands at 112.56 crores*, Indian media reported.

The film revolves around tourist guide Harinder Singh Nehra aka Harry (SRK), who discovers himself and love while helping Sejal (Anushka) find her engagement ring, which she loses on a vacation in Europe.

Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali has brushed aside criticisms saying, “Some said you really need to be intelligent to understand an Imtiaz Ali film. For me that was a blow. I feel that I have never been part of any intelligent club. I wanted to make a very simple film with all my heart,” Imtiaz said. “I have not made this film for praise. You know I would like to be the director who can make different kinds of films. This one is made to reach the maximum number of people. Not to just get praise for myself.”
