Yes and almost all three movies are hit. It's too early for Hindi version but opening reports is excellent even you have no bookings for Monday at some places so we can say Aamir Khan and SRK give smiles at the end of the year. Ghajini is top-class movie which make grip of audience and story going smothly.
Obviously, when something is inspired and done, it can be done better than the previous one I don't know how Ghajini Hindi version is. But the Tamil version was rocking and was a tremendous hit. Lets hope the same in Hindi too.
