Shahid Kapoor has wowed the critics as well as the masses with his excellent performance in 'Jab We Met'. In its first week, 'Jab We Met' has already been declared a success in the trade. Shahid is already flying high on a hat trick of successes, starting with '36 China Town', the biggest super hit of last year 'Vivah' ( based on return-on-original) and now 'Jab We Met'.

Considering that Shahid has given solo hits is commendable, since he is a rare actor to do so consistently and is giving the superstars competetion. In fact, the distributors are unanimous that Shahid can carry a film on his shoulders alone.

Shahid Kapoor is taking over the mantle of the romantic lover boy image in Bollywood. Trade analyst are unanimous that after SRK in 'DDLJ' and Salman Khan in 'HAHK' he is the best bet to take over this mantle, since he is a stupendous performer and has given super hits in Barjatya's biggest romance 'Vivah' and now 'Jab We Met' looks set to add to its first week success!

Ever since his debut in the bubblegum romance 'Ishq Vishk', Shahid had become highly popular with the youth. He is the quintessential boy, a girl can take home.

And with the super success of 'Vivah' and now 'Jab We Met', he has reached another level. 'Jab We Me' has been declared one of the good successes of the year, the film is now going in for a kill. In its second week, the print count has seen a massive increase with 40-50 percent increment in shows all over.

Confirms Imtiaz, "Yes, the response has been overwhelming. I expected a good turnout but frankly the way 'Jab We Met' has eventually performed at the box-office, is beyond my expectations too. Now we are going for in for a further kill by increasing the print count all over the world."

Rattling down some of the figures and facts he has in hand, Imtiaz informs, "In Mumbai city alone the shows have increased from 204 in the first week to 301 per day in the second week. On the other hand, up North in East Punjab (looking at the phenomenal business that the film is doing), the shows have seen a jump from 68 to 99 per day. A similar pattern is being followed everywhere whether India or abroad. As you must be aware, it is a big success already in overseas too."

Obviously, with all the top banners approaching him after the good success, it's Shahid who is laughing all the way to the bank.
