Shahrukh KhanPress Release

Buy two, get one free — is the Rakhi offer that superstar Shah Rukh Khan is making for everyone across the country keen to see his latest entertainment extravaganza “Chennai Express” which is blazing records at the box-office.

So if you love him for making you laugh in “Chennai Express”, you will love Shah Rukh all the more for his latest gesture.

A source close to the superstar said this is SRK’s brainchild. The offer is valid on Aug 20 across the country because the 47-year-old wants to celebrate with everyone.

The source added: “We have celebrated Eid and Independence Day with the entire country and this is his way of celebrating Rakhi as well. This is his small way of giving back the huge amount of love and support he has got from the people.”

Directed by Rohit Shetty, “Chennai Express” is a runaway hit at the box office. Released Aug 9, it minted Rs.181.92 crore by Aug 18.

If viewers enjoyed SRK’s new avatar in the romantic comedy, they also found Deepika Padukone’s Tamil girl act thoroughly entertaining. The film was liked so much that it created a record by recording the fastest Rs.100 crore earning at the box office. The Rs.75 crore project achieved that in the first weekend itself.

“It has been an amazing journey for ‘Chennai Express’ so far. The audience has loved and supported the film, helping it to achieve unprecedented success at the box office. We wanted to find a way to thank our audiences, especially families, for their love and support for the film. We thought the occasion of Raksha Bandhan would be an ideal opportunity to do so,” said Gaurav Verma, Director – India Theatrical Distribution, Studios, Disney-UTV, in a statement.

“We are inviting everyone to celebrate the festival with ‘Chennai Express’ and are pleased to offer a third ticket free on the purchase of every two tickets, as a token of our appreciation,” added Verma.

  • Breaking News

    Red Chillies and UTV will give away 1 free train ticket to board Chennai Express if passengers buy 2 train tickets…!

    Get on the train srkians and enjoy the rollercoaster that is Chennai Express…! Whoooopi of you go

  • lol. what ever the king does haters bark. his marketing skills are way better than perfectionist.( so called)
    wow SRK u r really too good.

  • really love the words u use Indicine. keep going. keep it up. 3 cheers to u as well. and yes have already bought 22 tickets for tomorrow. wow. its going to be fun tomorrow.

  • this really shows he is least bothered about records.
    dear SRK. even if u wouldn’t have given this offer every bodys first choice would be Chennai express. coz on this auspicious occasion every one want to enjoy and dance and rejoice and feel the love.that’s what’s Chennai express does.

  • Not a good strategy economically. Headcount will decrease on monday and revenue on Tuesday. But maybe people will love it.

  • Srks giving nothing away from his own pocket but his deluded noname fan thinks hes being extra generous. Wow such delusional thinking- what of the Poor owners/ exhibitors who will lose money, bichaare…! :-P
    On the bright side dont worry as nobody will bring his 21 aliases to theatres today, so inside an otherwise empty theatre it will now be full of nobodys watching chennai depress with noname. Its gonna be fun

    :-P

  • Even though aamir is a very good actor but this man is simply genius.Hats of to him. Fantastic person who is globally accepted

  • Would the free ticket also ensure free samosa and coke? cuz you need to add some entertainment quotient to watch this movie. lol.

    chalo bhai sab log, free ticket ke bahane CE dekho aur srk ki madad karo record thodney ke liye.

    if not interested, you can very well visit hypercity, which is giving 1 kg rice free with 2 kg rice

    choice is yours do you need weekly ration or month long tension? lol.

  • All of the guys who are saying this is a marketing genius, well it is a marketing foolishness.

    because unlike you get things free at store, this is not the case here.

    the store has already purchased the item and hence need to sell it to clear stock, so that whatever it gets is still good as it could recover the cost for unsold goods and no need to pay for stocking it.

    however, the tickets are not property of UTV / srk, hence whatever free tickets are provided, utv/srk has to compensate it. So, it is a loss. Wonder who is going to minus this loss from the profit?

  • My predictions for record express: mon 5 tue 8 wed 3.5 thur 4 fri sat sun 20 cr total till 3rd weekend 43.5 or 40 nd 181.92 40 222cr nd rest of the week 20cr… Total 245cr or maybe 250

  • @nipun what a joke its not a publicity stunt coz no need of publicity more. As film already showed its worth. Red Chillies n UTV now trying to give back the love which they get from audiance. They r not greedy so that they decided to gift their fans in shape of this offer. Its 1st of its kind. U can expect more new ways from SRK & his team. In the copming days many will follow him. I can bet on it.

  • Already haters are calling it publicity stunt.. first understand that this gesture from king will actually result in lower collections for the day which clearly proves that the king cares ghanta for the records… Good time for you guys to watch the movie free..

  • ”King khan ka dil sabse bada”

    really he is giving his heart to see CE among all indians
    film deserves to break 3I record now

  • The war between superstars Akshay Kumar and Shah Rukh Khan doesn’t seem to end.

    Buzz has it that the actor was apparently upset with Shah Rukh Khan’s Chennai Express song being played on a reality show where he went to promote his film OUATIMD. And this got Akki super upset?
    According to sources, “Akshay who is leaving no stone in promoting his film OUATIM apparently lost his cool on -the-sets of a reality show and blasted everyone on the sets. During the finale episode of a TV dance reality show, a dance group performed on Chennai Express song which reportedly irked Khiladi Akshay Kumar.”

    This is not the first time that reports about differences between both the stars have come out in the media. According to rumors at the recently held IPL Shahrukh had specially told the TV channels telecasting the match not to focus on Akshay and his team who were there to promote Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Dobaara.

    Well, with Chennai Express’s splendid performance at the box-office and OUATIMD’s not so promising opening, looks like both the stars are not in a mood to bury their hatchet anytime soon.
