When Chennai Express broke the record of 3 Idiots, many in the trade felt that it would be an uphill task for films like Dhoom 3 and Krrish 3 to surpass the 227 crore figure. After all, the Shahrukh Khan starrer had collected 100 crore in 3 days and 150 crore in its first week itself!
Chennai Express and Krrish 3
But a quick comparison between the 7 day (first week) business of the two films reveals that Krrish 3 is ahead of Chennai Express at the moment.
- Hindi version without paid previews – Chennai Express: 149.96 crore – Krrish 3: 156.62 crore
- Total domestic collections including all versions and paid previews – Chennai Express: 156.71 crore – Krrish 3: 166.42 crore
Note: The Hindi version of both films released on approximately 3700 screens. While Krrish 3 was affected by the Pre-Diwali period in its first 3 days, Chennai Express benefitted from national holidays for Eid and Sunday. However, business of Krrish 3 took a massive jump Post-Diwali which is considered to be as lucrative as ‘Eid’ for films.
Comparison graph of the first 5 days and also detailed day-wise collections of Krrish 3 and Chennai Express in the table below. The table will be updated everyday.

Moreover, releasing Krrish 3 before diwali was a masterstroke bcuz post diwali period is most dangerous then pre diwali period. Films do unbelievable business on diwali day and next 3 or 4 days and then…….boom
@SAKHI: who said K-3 will not break it will collect around 250-crores upcoming D-3 and JAI HO as well get ready for it.
roflmao..krrish3 beats c.e(plus paid reviews) in 5 days haha…c.e had 3 holidays..k3 had 1 holiday nd released on prediwali..k3 wom nt as good as c.e…but still k3 ahead..the power of hrithik roshan…
the king of temperory records srk
CE’s net collection worldwide : 353 crore….that’s impossible task for krrish 3 & also other coming movies :(
@Speedo. I hate comparing, but perhaps for your lack of knowledge, CE had 6 days open until the arrival of OUTIMD, after which it played in much fewer screens. It still managed to perform beyond everyones expectations. Krrish:3 benefits from about 15 open days until the release of Ram Leela. I expect Krrish:3 to earn at least 240cr, doubling the amount of its budget (CE tripled the amount of its budget), anything less will be an underperformance for me.
@Hamza Khan, Red Chillies sold Chennai Express for Rs 105 cr to UTV, not 75 crore.

@XZONE welcome back !!!!!!! … i remember you
@AKI YOU EXPECT “JAI HO” TO CROSS CE COLLECTION??…….HAHAHAHA….JOKE OF THE CENTURY………JAI HO WON’T EVEN COLLECT 100cr…It won’t cross Grand masti collections……..nowdays people are rejecting south copy paste films….example:BOSS..he knows only that only..jai ho will the biggest flop of next year
I was thinking it to be 115cr before. Thanks for correcting me Indicine. :)
K3 gets 2 open week
so CE record might be broken
Ce has clash from its second week
K3 will definately cross 200 cr.
And will end similar to CE
but Dhoom3 will crash
@indicine why don’t u reply my comments about holiday. How many public holiday for eid in India I guess one only. How many dewali holidays? I guess 2-3 days and school college univercity closed for min one week.
What is Monday and Tuesday collection of Tamil and Telugu version? Now I realize wherever u get trap then u never reply.
it seems CE record will last only for 2
months.. lol.. srk fans were spreading
negativity but nothing can stop hrithik n
k3.. srk fans are burning as hell.. where
are srk fans who were challenging hrithik..
nowhere to be seen! i guess they are
hiding in the bushes :P nice tight slap on
the face of srk fans..
@SAKHI: you should know the power of stardom my friend the name is Salman Khan remember that.
@Sakhi: JAI HO is not a masala flick remember that content of the movie is awesome.
Superb Business By K3, I think when Rakesh Roshan thought to release movie on 04th Then he is thinking only with Record Breaking opening and Good collection, but Distributors insist him to release movie on 1st Nov and this is Masterstroke as Movie collected good money in first 3 Days and still a record Breaking 4th & 5th Day for Business. Now All eyes on Highest Lifetime Collection though its looking Easy for K3 but still can’t say any thing because Holiday Season is over now so all depends on WOM, Best Of LUck to K3 Team…
talking about CE i liked the movie a good Entertainer but i was still upset when this movie Broken the Record of 3I lifetime because there is nothing special in the movie to look forward too, though i am not a fan of SRK but if A movie which have Something Uniqueness or Special which makes Bollywood to feel proud than its good. A movie like 3I which is Remain a Gem of Indian Cinema’s record would be break by a movie which have something unique LIke K3 which is Bollywood 2nd Attempt to follow Hollywood Style in sci-fi deserves the record even if Ra1 was good movie or become Highest grosser than i would be Happy that at least this is different and Risky too.
@sakhi CE lifetime is abot 380-382 crore according to BOI and the manipulation in figures given by Producers is infront of all with K3 Weekend Figures. People Bashed BOI for no reason they have their sources for collection and its not a Biased site because they are not supporter of any star,production or anything. Like Taran Adarsh or other sites as all are hungry for Names because at the time of release Fans of their Respective Actor would like to visit on the site first who showing better collection of their movies that’s why when every big actor movie released than everybody who is non-fan of that Star or can called hater will showing the Collection given by BOI not other sources.
i am not against of CE or K3 but i knows their producers are giving false figures
at the time of CE Lifetime gross is 208cr shwon 227cr
for overseas gross is about $18Million shown $19.5cr
K3 Weekend Figures:
according to BOI – 54cr with all language
Boxofficeindia.co.in- 59cr all language
Komal Nahta- 61.5cr all language
Taran Adarsh,Indicine, Officials- 72.7cr all language
So difference in every trusted source is here in case of K3.
So those who trust Officials should struck on them even of their non-fan actors movies data and those who trust unbiased figures should struck to thier Respective one common source for me That’s Is BOI.
now srk fans who was then started to downgrade 3I achievement and Aamir when CE released and collecting more than 3I now come into position when their fav actor lifetime record in Danger with Just First Big movie come into front of CE, though still target is far for K3 but looks like it definitely pass or come very near to CE whether you trust BOI or official figure just even in 2 months.I think those who are giving unncessary relason like 8 open weeks etc come to know the time When 3i achieve 200cr Feet no one in trade was expecting to do so becuase only Ghajini passed 100cr figure tilldate and when CE crossed 3I than nos of movies passed 100 cr and movie like ETT & Yjhd come close to 3I figures. So whatever the thing 3I will e remebered for Its content and Historic collection but ce will be remebered only for beating 3I records.
at the time of K3 trailer most srk fan except Romance new-year supported k3 on this site by saying as skr & hr is good friends so why not his fans, than how these srk fans become against their actors friend movie and its collection suddenly, I know if K3 will break ce record Srk would be happy but most of srkians were busy to fight with Hr fans on different sites.
the way producers manipulate figures, when dhoom 3 comes out BOI will say it’s first day is around 20 cr, but producers will say that it’s around 30 cr. whole industry is becoming a joke right now.
CE is romantic,comedy,emotional,actional film. Every catagery people can see to it.bt K3 is only for child. Aur srk to bap hai bollywood ka. Hrithik nhi…
@Indicine Team, these figures are with the regional versions, not only hindi.
@speedo….y r u comparing the data….records r meant to broke and ce is not an exception…its record will be broken one or other day….and we srk fans r not like sallu fans , who r still living in thier dreamy world…roshan’s promoted the movie very well, moreover hritik was awesome….so we ll be happy if it ll break ce’s record….but still ce has a long way to travel to break ce’s record….so dont come to conclusion…
@aki…yeah…but unfortunately, that stardom had come as a flick in the form of 5 movies in a row (that too bcoz of that safe spot -eid) …but as now srk, ranbeer and hritik shown ur bhaijaan his real aukaat, again he is on his way to those days (before wanted)….be prepare to see a lot of “yuvraj”, “london dreams” ,”marigold”,”jaan-e-mann” etc etc….the flop star is back….
@aks agree with u… 2yrs back when ra one nd don2 released people was loving masala movie but now scenario is diff.. max masala movie sinking at BO.. nd after the super success of K3 we can expect some more risky nd hollywood movie comming in near future… credit goes to entire team of K3 Nd also to SRK for establishing RCE at india which can give vfx as good as hollywood movies (considering the budget)… congro K3
Never ever k3 can beat ce. Impossible guys
I think indicine want that k3 do huge business bcz indicine r fan of hr
no doubt hrithik is awesome in k3 but the story is total copy of x-men and ce was a total entertainment no story no drama just total entertainment so k3 will not surpass ce
Hrithik has done a great job in Krrish3…
Krish 3 is a far better movie than C.E…..
Eagerly waiting for Thor…… From Friday, business will be down in metros due to the release of Thor…. and I will give my ratings after comparing Krissh and Thor…
hello there so many diff btwn collection boi clts are krrish 3 105 cr
nice comparison …but u never know.. Bollywood and cricket …. who will win..let’s see..
