Much awaited film Ghajini by Aamir Khan, did a good business on the opening day breaking all records of the Hindi film industry. The film is released worldwide with 1,450 prints including 1,200 prints in India on Thursday. Overseas prints were released by Reliance BIG in various international cities.

An executive of the movie's India release said that all shows were sold out in advance for the opening week. The film will earn at least Rs35 crore in the first week according to an industry expert. A trade analyst in the film industry, V Verma said, "Although the movie has not received uniform favourable reviews, the hype created around it has worked wonders and there is little doubt that the movie will turn out to be a super hit."

Actor Aamir Khan was present at the trial run of the movie at a preview theatre in Mumbai. He expressed satisfaction over the popularity of the film and hoped that it would set new records in Hindi film industry. He added, "We were hoping for a good response, but what is happening is unprecedented and amazing. I know Singh is King had created a record, but from what I hear, the opening of Ghajini is four times more. I suppose my film releasing after a year might have to do something with it. Also, people love good action films."

Film distributor Sandeep Bhargava said, "This is the highest print count for a Hindi film. It has already garnered three times more than Rab Ne. in the first week."
