Mumbai:

Actor Hrithik Roshan, who also values critics' opinion, says that surprisingly all the movies which opened to mixed reviews have managed to gross over Rs 100 crore. Happy with the success of his latest film Bang Bang, the star also plans to have at least two films in a year.

Bang Bang, which released on October 2, has earned Rs 200 crore in just five days despite not so overwhelming response from the critics. (Also Read - Box Office Bang Bang: Rs 200 Cr in 5 Days)

"Every opinion matters to me personally. Whichever films have crossed Rs 100 crore in Indian cinema has got mixed reviews, so I respect them," he said.

Bang Bang also had to share the audience with Shahid Kapoor's Haider. The latter based on Shakespeare's Hamlet was in total contrast to Hrithik's typical pot-boiler laden with flying bullets, racing cars, etc.

So far, most of his successful ventures came from his father and filmmaker Rakesh Roshan, including his last hit Krrish 3.

But this Sidharth Anand's directorial venture, which has been produced by Fox Star Studios at a budget of Rs 140 crore, broke the opening day record of Krrish 3 by earning Rs 27.54 crore on the first day.

"We did not increase the ticket prize, our film was not a solo release and still it has surpassed the collections of Krrish 3, so I am very happy," said the 40-year-old.

When asked what his father's reaction was on Bang Bang surpassing the box office collection of Krrish, he said, "I am very happy, but I don't know what my father is thinking."

"It's one step ahead for me and it's a growth. The start has been great, it crossed Rs 100 crore-mark and that's a big victory."

What adds to his joy is that his sons - Hrehaan and Hridhaan - have also given a thumbs up to the film.

"I wanted my children to like the film. They were so excited that I had to prepare them before making them watch the film. They saw the late night show and post the picture, they said that it's the best film I have ever done. I am so happy and that reaction is the most important reaction for me," said the star delightedly.

Known for being choosy and taking a break after each film, Hrithik has now changed the rules. He said, "I am pushing myself to have regular release. From the start of my career, I wanted to do two to three films in a year. Now, I will plan my years in such a way that I will have two releases in a year," he said.
