3 Idiots vs Ek Tha Tiger – Detailed (Updated)

In the last few days, every second comment on our website is about Ek Tha Tiger crossing the magical 200 crore figure of 3 Idiots. While Salman fans are confident of the film joining the 200 crore club, his critics are quick to point out that Bodyguard crashed after the initial extended weekend. The neutrals believe, Ek Tha Tiger is not the most deserving film to go past an ‘all-time classic’.

Our take – box-office records are meant to be broken and 3 Idiots has held on strongly (and deservingly) to the top-spot for three years now.

As things stand today, with higher ticket prices and many more screens (almost double), Ek Tha Tiger has had a huge head-start.

So far in 10 days, the Salman Khan film has 147.6 crores in the bank. At the same stage, 3 Idiots did 90.5 crore nett.

The difference could well be the second weekend, when 3 Idiots went from strength to strength. If ETT picks up over the coming weekend, it’s very likely to cross the 202 crore mark and even surpass that by a decent margin. If it crashes, then it’s likely to shut-shop with 180-185 crore nett.

Below is a day-wise comparison between 3 Idiots and Ek Tha Tiger (will be updated everyday)

__________________________________

UPDATE: Ek Tha Tiger had a very good 2nd weekend of around 21 crores. The second Sunday business was more than double of it’s second Friday.

After 13 days, the difference between 3 Idiots (130.5 cr) and Ek Tha Tiger (178.17 cr) is still huge. It should add another 7-8 crores by Thursday, after which, the release of Joker will have a significant impact on ETT.

__________________________________

UPDATE (1st Sep): Ek Tha Tiger has dropped this week with the release of Joker. But the fact that Joker has already been rejected, gives ETT a good chance to put up better numbers on Saturday (today) and Sunday, as it should be the first choice this week too.

The film stills needs about 13.5 crores to cross 200 crores and about 15.5 to beat 3 Idiots. Difficult!

  • no one can break records of 3 idiot …nd no coperisn between 3i nd ett..3i entertaining movie nd ett ohk…

  • on wednesday, ETT showed a jump. which is a rare scenario. thursday early estimation is around 80lakh. therefore, 3 weeks total is around Rs 195cr nett. that means just Rs5cr to touch 200cr mark & Rs 7.57cr to break & make history.

  • @indicine why you are showing different figure of ek tha tiger in this page and at your home pages boxoffice collection..its 10 crore difference..please give the answer..to me this is the most reliable website about bo collection..so please erase my confusion

  • (MOST IMPORTANT) acting in
    bollywood mostly meant a
    combination of ‘eyebrow
    histrionics, facial contortaions
    and voice modulation combined
    with oratory. though great acors
    like dilip kumar had shown the
    way to ‘natural, effortless
    spontanneous acting and ppl like
    balraj sahni and naseruddin shah
    had taught bollywood ‘realistic
    method acting’ for most
    commercial stars acting meant
    ‘awaaz mein utaar chadhaav’.
    even the greatest like amitabh
    bachchan indulged in this kind of
    hamming in films like agnipath.
    but salman realized that acting is
    abt feelings and not
    expresssions, pain in voice not
    modulation, body language not
    stagy blocking and
    unconventional interpretaions of
    characters and situations not
    formula following of looking into
    the horizon left to the camera
    and rattling off a long dialogue in
    perfect urdu diction and
    modulated voice. and he stuck to
    his 100% natural school of
    acting despite the idiotic critics
    and pseudo intellectuals bashing
    him. and now i have noticed that
    many new actors like naazuddin
    siddique, arjun kapoor aand
    ranvir singh are trying to follows
    the natural spntaneous acting
    style fully realizing wat happned
    to those like shahid and ranbeer
    who tried to copy sharukh’s
    overacting. matlab nawaaz, arjun,
    ranvir ne salman ki nakal ki aur
    apna jeevan sudhaara
    yaani salman ki copy karo- jeevan
    sudhaaro.
