Trade analyst Amod Mehra said: "It took 34 years for a film to reach Sholay's level. This film is set a new benchmark for the film industry. The film has grossed about Rs 240 crore in just 10 days of worldwide theatrical business and may touch the staggering Rs 300 crore figure by the time it finishes its run. The film, apart from breaking Indian domestic market records, in this time has also emerged as the highest Bollywood earner even in the overseas markets.But I shouldn’t have done this. I saw myself on TV (later) and saw how I was shouting ‘shut up! shut up!’ like an animal. I told myself - ‘what nonsensical behaviour’,” Vidhu Vinod Chopra said. The producer lost his cool when he was asked whether 70 per cent of 3 Idiots, which has grossed over Rs.100 crore in the first four days, was taken from Chetan Bhagat's book Five Point Someone.
Earlier, Chopra got angry and demanded to know if the journalist had seen the movie and read the book. The scribe said he had seen 3 Idiots but had not read Five Point Someone. This further angered Chopra, who got up and started shouting: “Then you shut up. When you have not read the book, then how can you say that the movie is 70 per cent of the book?” Chopra's reaction evoked anger among the reporters with many demanding that the filmmaker apologise.
