A few days ago an this article was written how 8th August was a day for hugely successful films and today (11th August) may not have seen the huge success but has seen big cast films released since 1995.

Toilet Ek Prem Katha released last year was the biggest HIT on this day with Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna released in 2006 being the biggest film in terms of budget and cast. By budget we mean the value of the budget today though even in terms of raw production cost it will still be higher than Toilet Ek Prem Katha even if we dont adjust the value.

Dhadkan was  another big film which did not quite do the business in 2000 it could have due to lacklustre opening in many parts of the country but the film manages to pick up a decent television occasionally today meaning it probably is the one which has longevity but this could be down to the blockbuster music. 

The list of big August 11th releases over the last 25 years are as follows with their adjusted NETT numbers (2017 value) and verdict.

1. Toilet Ek Prem Katha (2017) - 1,32,07,00,000 (BLOCKBSUTER)

2. Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna (2006)- 1,06,21,00,000 (SEMI HIT)

3. Dhadkan (2000) - 99,14,00,000 (AVERAGE)

4. Hum Dono (1995) - 68,06,00,000 (AVERAGE)

5. Deewane (2000) - 48,49,00,000 (FLOP)

6. Guddu (1995) - 31,21,00,000 (Flop)

7. Oh Darling Yeh Hai India (1995) - 17,86,00,000 (Disaster)

Another point on this day is that it is one of the very few times that Shahrukh Khan actually lost a clash. Shahrukh Khan has an unbeatable record in clashes as he tends to come out on top most of the time but on 11th August he had two films Guddu and Oh Darling Yeh Hai India and they both defeated by the Rishi Kapoor / Nana Patekar starrer Hum Dono which eventually did fair business due to Mumbai circuit. The opening day figures of this clash were as follows and it was a comfortable win for Hum Dono with almost double the collections of Guddu which was the better SRK film.

Guddu - 25,00,000

Hum Dono - 46,00,000

Oh Darling Yeh Hai india - 22,00,000

Note - Both the Shahrukh Khan films were films which were taken on before he became a major star with Baazigar and Darr.
