Chennai Express is the Biggest Hit of 2013

Chennai ExpressChennai Express is now the biggest hit of 2013, as the Rohit Shetty entertainer nudged ahead of Ranbir Kapoor’s Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani today. The film is also the biggest ever grosser in circuits like Tamilnadu / Kerala, Nizam / Andhra, Mysore and West Bengal.

What that also means is, Chennai Express is now the 3rd biggest grosser of all time behind Ek Tha Tiger (199 cr) and 3 Idiots (202 cr).

The Shahrukh Khan – Deepika Padukone starrer had a good day at the box office today (Raksha Bandhan) and should cross the 200 crore mark when the final collections come in.

  • Chennai express is the bigges hit of 2013 “YET”. . .
    After ce,now i am looking forward to k3 and d3. .

    But even in case of both those biggies,it is not easy to beat chennai express. .

    So an honest congo to srk

  • Chennai Express is The Biggest HIT Of 2013..and KRRISH 3 will ne the biggest BLOCKBUSTER of 2013.Kudos to both Hrithik and SRK.

  • This year is a surprising one.
    I never thought of ashiqi2 and yjhd to become bbs. .and also never thought of ce to become so huge. .
    I think it is the “foolishness” of ouatimd that they postponed their movie.

  • Mashaallah!..thats great humongous..Srk did it wat salam couldnt in last 4years playing safe using masala movies releasing it in the most lucurative period…but king came nd conquered wth a single one…suppressd every record..CHENNAI EXPRESS all the way

  • This year
    top5
    Chennai Express – 210 cr.
    Krissh3 – 205 cr.
    YJHD – 189 cr.
    Dhoom3 – 160 cr.
    Besharam – 135 cr.

  • “CE” is surely biggest hit of 2013 but till date only ie till August bcoz the year has still not completed and there is no reason why mega movies like “Krrish 3” and “Dhoom 3” can’t beat “CE”.

  • When the year 2013 will end “CE” will not be the biggest grosser of the year.The actual competition will be between “Dhoom 3” and “Krrish” for the biggest grosser of the year 2013.

  • Wow now where are those Salman fans who says first cross the collections of ready 122cr then talk and then cross the coll of Dabangg 148 at don2 and Jab tak hai Jaan time times now you all have seen your Salman couldn’t be able to break the record of 3 idiots from 2009 to 2012 with same copy or action Masala movies but when our King Khan has make just one Masala movie all the records have been broken and breaking more and 3 idiot was not Amirs solo movie that was a multistarrer movie with great script even Sun jay duty with great script Munna bhai mbbs was a super hit and now our Shahrukh Khans Ce will break the record of 3 idiots and become no.1

  • Indicine did you remember that article in which you said Once upon a time in mumbai dobarra has edge over Chennai express why why indicine ?
    Mumbai dobarra kaha gayee
    Because don’t underestimate the power of Shahrukh khankhan

  • Salman fans ce aarahu hai about ett ka record tode gi aur tum log mentle ho jaegi aur intezar karegi ke mentle ce keep records rode go ya Kick lekin Ce itni door chale jaegi ke mentle aur kick ko usko pakadna mushkil hi nahi name mumkin ho jaega ek aur baat Don kabhi kuch nahi bhulta.

  • finally srk sucessful…if salman goes to jail he wil kill rest of stars with help of media…akki tasted it next target is spread huge against dhoom-3 be careful aamir/hritik/ranbir fox is back….

  • The last 3 are good films only.. let’s forget about the stupid box office because the success/failure.. all depends on circumstances, so we can’t say a film is good or bad according to crores.. but according to our taste.. for me the best films which I saw this year are:

    Aashiqui 2, Bhaag M Bhaag, Ranjhaana, OUATIM Dobara.. and we can’t say in the second half of the year what would be good or bad.. but I think that Besharam will be a nice film as well as Dhoom3. Krrish 3 will be a super hit film for sure but I don’t think that It’ll be as good as Krrish 2.. don’t know.. will wait and see.

  • picture abhi baki hai mere dost
    Dhoom3 and krish3 are the most awaited movie of the year.
    Ce is the biggest hits till august
    Real fight will be happening between dhoom3 and krish3

  • @Indicine. do u mean Chennai express would cross 200 tomorrow.
    as far as dhoom 3 and krish3 breaking Chennai express records go. in my opinion
    1) opening day of 33.12 CRORES might be challenged by dhoom3 with more screens and higher ticket price.
    2) but 100 CRORE in 3 days and life time looks safe.

    coz
    1) its not a mass oriented movie. only a section of audience would like to watch it
    2) once u know the climax or the end. it actually removes the sheen out of the movie. so the repeatebility quotient isn’t there.
    these two would hamper the growth i think.

    so for both lifetime might be around 170 CRORES but not definitely 200 plus.

  • just was reading an article Indicine. where u had mentioned
    ” sajid khan and some other directors failed can rohit deliver???
    and the comments that followed. that SRK should retire. he isn’t suitable for this type of role. it would be disaster.
    but now when u see its a blockbuster phenomenal success. life comes in a full circle

  • BOI is showing different figure, around 12-13 crores less…I don’t know which one is to be believed…Irrespective of the movie’s exact collection, CE is indeed one of the biggest grosser of recent time…Congratulations to the shetty, khan and the whole CE team…

  • I know that :D
    thats our king, nothing new , few days and he will own the Record for the biggest movie in the indian cinema history with 205+ and more

  • top 5 blockbusters of the year:

    1- Dhoom3 (215cr)
    2- Chennai Express (210cr)
    3- Krrish3 (195cr)
    4- YJHD (190cr)
    5- Besharam (165cr)

  • @indicine. I guess Chennai express is biggest grosser in Bihar as well. At the end of first week it did 319 cr. it might have surpass it by now.life time collection of gadar is 3.75 cr. Don’t know about ett & dabang 2 collection

  • very gud feeling.though i m a salman khan fan..it is not just about chennai express ending on top of table…but what is more significant is that khans have again defeated kapoors!
    Here z why u can’t copare ranbir kapoor with khans.
