The movie did see a drop today (Monday, 5 January), but multiplex officials are evidently pleased with Ghajini’s performance. The movie has set record collections of the year in multiplex properties. Also a drop of 40 per cent in the second weekend is not bad at all, especially since it had such a wide and extended release window.
