the topic of that article is extremely misleading "k3g is not a hit but it is not a miss either".. Now K3G is no. 2 hit of the year 2001 after Gadar... but try to compare it this way ... Gadar ran through the entire 2001 for many many weeks before making it the highest grossing film in indian cinema. But K3G would have only run for 2 weeks and 3 days in 2001 and if in just 17 days the film can be the no. 2 hit of the year, then what can u say abt the status of the film?? is it a hit ofcourse it is...... and even lagaan and dil chahta hai were not appreciated in teh interiors does that make them any less hits than what they are??
K3G is a superhit and there is no denying that.
