in future may be many film will cross CE lifetime collection. But bollywood always remember chennai express. Because it broke 3 idiots lifetime collection records with tough competition with OUATIMD , MC. I am sure no film can’t do this.
Self proclaimed king’s Record will be broken by December….
Chuttni manane nikla tha, par idiots,tiger and rowdies ka chutti kar di. CE is the biggest grosser ever for a bollywood film now. Awwessoommee!! Srk back at no.1. CONGRATS!
why SRK(Chennai Express) is superior then Amir khan(3 Idiotd)?
I agree…contentwise 3 Idiots was way better then Chennai Express. But after 4 yrs, people who keep praising it remember it not for Amir Khan…but its content and directions and other things. In simple words, 3 Idiots wasnt solely Amir khans movie like Chennai Express is SRKs.
Lets see what makes both movies watchable ….not including amir-kareena and srk-deepika and songs and directors.
3 idiots — boman irani, sherman joshi, r madhvan, that balatkar speech guy.
CE — none.
It means 3 idiots got hit not only because of amir but also the supporting cast which gave such strong performance. On other hand, CE has only Srk and deepika all over…..you don’t recall or know other cast member even.
And now my waiting did reach the end
my king did cross them all and bk to his place where he belong just at the top as usual
and as I said he will put new record 4 others
215 here we go :D
my king is the king of every thing.
may god bless him.
@srk fans and all ..
Gimme d answer
.
Is Srk CE is better than aamir’s
RDB
.
Is RDB is ur fav movie or CE (In
terms of Critics, story, msg,
acting n all)
.
I m 1000% sure, RDB is d
favorite movie of 99.99%
peoples of dis country and also d
fav movie of 99% die hard
srkians..
.
Result
A crap movie like gadar and CE
with no storyline earn 200cr
.
An excellent movie which also
delivered an unforgettable
message to the youth of this
country ws earned only 50cr
.
Its not amir vs srk battle
its movie vs movie battle
its ce vs rdb battle
whoaaa….awesome…no words for it..srk, u owed me…
1. When we talked abt class, they said, one should accepted in mass.
2.when we talked abt quality, they said quantity matters.
3.when we talked abt overseas, they said “ghar me to iski koi ijjat nahi, bahar kamane se kya hota hai”
But ce gave all the answers to them…srk proved that he is the king of hearts irrespective of the collections and all…
Love u srk…
P.S. At the same time, he also shown that there is no need of adding cheap item songs, cheap dialogues and all, to make a masala entertainer atbb….ce was a pure family entertainer…!!
i would like to make a small request to those who r talking abt dhoom 3 and all, that plz stay away from ce pages…ce has collected 200+cr in india and 100+cr in overseas…its a great achievement and one should appreciate it…when d3 would break this record, we would appreciate that also…we r nt the losers, who used to escape away…
But now, only one thing that king has again snatched his crown from a minion,who stole that crown 4 yrs back….:p
And now my waiting did reach the end
my king crossed them all and took his place where he belong just at the top as usual
and as I said he will put a new record 4 others now
215+ here we go :D
my king is the king of every thing.
may god bless him.
Indicine, should i say publish my comment each time? whats wrong with you ?!
Breaking news yesterday Michael scofield of prison break had declared he is agay!so please salma khan u r 48yrs bachelor declare u r status it’s not shame it’s fashion!
I am happy fo it. .but dont compare ce with 3 idiots because in quality,3 i is a best movie ever.
SRK did it….. wow! really really happy now! all the major record are broken..SRK tell me what you left to achive
SRK did it….. wow! really really happy now! all the major record are broken..SRK tell me what you left to achieve
SRK has beaten over rated Sharman Joshi, R K madhavan and Aamir khans record. Aamir khan who use to keep so much ego after sucess of multistarar 3idiots and use to abuse Sharrukh khan as DOG. SRK remained Calm and now beat aamir khan, and showed aamir khan ground. This is a very very tight Slap on aamir khan’s face. SRK has shown Aamir Khan his true aukad and place. Aamir khan whose last solo movie was failed miserably on the box office is now taking shelter of YASH RAJ Banner and already blockbuster franchise DHOOM. But I am sure people will reject aamir khan as a villain. And aamir khans ego will again pay off. Jesi karni wesi bharni aamir khan. Abhiman to ravan ka bhi nahi tika tha to teri kya aukaad hai.
See all the schedules or line up of movies from august 30 up to december.All movies schedules have only one week apart from each other but dhoom 3 has 21 days of showing alone with out compitition. Dhoom3 will showing on DEC.20.The next movie will showing on JAnuary 10. See what I mean.CE started showing on AUGUST 9 then came August 15 askhay movie next August 23 JOHN movie and august 30 ajay movie ..3 compitition for CE..
@ to all srk lovers ce broke 3i records officially and acc to boi ce col 189cr, so just 13cr needs to break 3i recrods acc to boi which like easily possible at the end of 3rd week or 4th weekned, so party time for srkians and 4year long time finally over. Acc to boi srk is the no1 spot in oversease, worldwide single handed and no1 spot in domestic along with salman, the king isback with bang.
I dont understand why sdnly ppl r talkin bout quality.. When ghajini/mental bhai movies collects money they say wat matters is ppl loving the movie n nt quality.. Now sdnly quality matters!! Wen ghajini bhai movies do not clct (dg and talaash) they say look at the quality! N now when CE has both collections and quality in masala genre then they have lost all sense and making stupid comparisons!! Undoubtedly 3I was better content wise bt it is wrong to compare as genres are different.. N if u hv to talk about quality then our answer is pls watch gems like swades chak de khnh etc etc n even in masala CE is by far d most neat and clean n better quality than dbng rowdy bodyguard ett etc etc .. We respect and appreciate all stars but some idiotic so called fans make stupid silly comparisons so we have to reply n tell them who is d real KING!
@qamar….u give me the answer….which was better??? swades/cdi or ghajini????
was ghajini not a mindless masala flick????? but when aamir or salman did this, everything was correct for u guys….but when srk did it and shown u that what could be happen when he comes with a masala entertainer, then u r looking for excuses….
and let me remind u one thing….3 idiot was a masterpiece, no one will deny it….it collected what it deserved…..ce is not even 30% of 3 idiot content wise….i accept it….but there is a huge difference….collection of 3 idiot was phenomenal bcoz of aamir’s star power…..its due to excellent story and screen play of it…i m agree that aamir added his own flavors in it, but if 3 idiot collected 200cr+ in india and 100cr+ overseas…..then content played an important role in that…
but on the other hand, with an average content, if ce collected 200cr+, then its all about star power and srk’s clever promotional strategies…..remember, movies like k786 and himmatwala were rejected by the audiences straight away…some fools even claimed that ce will have the same fate as himmatwala….i don’t know, now where those people are….:P
but essence of my comment is, don’t talk about content…..bcoz
1. if u talk about content, we have swades, veer-zara, chak de,mnik.
2.if u talk about acting, we have darr,baazigar,devdas,cdi,minik
3.if u talk about highest grosser we have ce,jthj,don2,ra-one,mnik,oso,cdi and many more…..
4. if u talk about consistency, u better knw who is more consistent…..
so keep ur hatered comments with urself…..
ha ha. just amazing. and the money its spinning is still on. I dobt krish 3 or dhoom 3 to break the record. but as @xzone pointed we are not like others. we welcome every one in 200 clan and don’t run off.
@navin: lol u had REITERATED that it wouldn’t cross 3 idiots. lol.
but I as I had said as yes 3 idots is a good movie but in no way a legue of chak de. a film with just 400 screens and no holidays collects 70 crores. and what a classy move
and also as far as entertainment quotient goes tsunami Chennai express is way way more entertaining than 3 idiots
SRK was the onyl king is and ll always be.
@qamar: dude u answer me
is RDB better than CHAK de
no its not.
Dark day…….!
@Qamar
Are you Out of your mind ?
how can you compare CE with RDB. One is patriotic movie other is masala. Compare RDB With Chak de and then draw a pole. lets see who will win. now I chalange you. Tell me one comparable movie of DDLJ. Your so called Amir will need another 100 years to make such a master piece.
all haters have gone nuts after Chennai express has literally decimated and rewritten all the exixting records and even created few new ones.
@baapji. sorry to say but Chennai express has gross of 372 crores about 13 short of 3 idiots which it ll pack up in few days. ha ha ha
srkians look at this
SALMAN KHAN: 5 to 6 awards and had 3 to 4 records(still sulking after ce and srk broke many)
AMIR KHAN: 3 awards and 1 to 2 records ( same status as salman lol)
KING SHAHRUKH KHAN: more than 190 AWARDS and all records which exist in Bollywood.
(naam to suna hoga)
now obviously the haters are having a bad time to digest it. so for them to bark its quite natural
so dear @CERocks @XZone @IMAM @Romance Express @GEONE. Kindly give them their last wish of barking
4 din ka king!!! hahaha :D:D:D its dhoom time baby :)
@dxt namm. look at this. ETT with independence day Eid day 4 back to back holidays 3 weeks empty katrina kaif yrf studios. I can go on and on. did he break?????
than look at this DABBANG 2. 3762 screens Christmas holidays. new year festive spirit. 4 empty weeks. successfull franchise. did he break. lol. this didn’t even go beyond 160 CRORES .
now if I add both the over seas total u would be ashamed. he he he he. get a life and stop barking.
the fact is
SRK in his so called fading career is way bigger than SALMAN. just wait for happy New year. it ll even thrash Chennai express records.
and yes I say it again. DHOOM3 AND KRISH 3 ll fizzle out even before making any impact. lol
so finally king khan’s long overdue blockbuster has arrived..it will be interesting to see whether chennai express manages to hold supreme by the end of this year
Maubarkan Mubarkan
Khushamded Marhaba
Welcome Sir KING Khan to ur newly decorated KINGDOM.
1 2 3 4 Get on The Dance Floor & Do This……..
what?????????????????
yes!
Lungi Dance Lungi Dance
Rahul ne Sab ki Chutti kara Di
Salman & Aamir to Gai Menama
@qamar
gadar was crap. Oh my god. What i just read. Gadar was a crap. If gadar was crap then every single movie in bollywood released so far are all craps. Just check what you write before commenting. Use brains
3 idiots a nice movie perhaps a good movie with stamping of buttock, electrocution of male
organ (u know what this means), kareena-aamir kiss, screwing speech, frequent farts, if indians
wanted comedy they should have have gone for ajab prem ki ghazab kahaani. watched ajab
without subtitles and i had a good laugh dose, 3 idiots was nice only with subtitles.
Rajkumar Hirani is a great director, so is Rajkumar Santoshi a great entertainer,
Mr Hirani take a bow as we now have Mr Shetty in hishtyle the new president of 100 & 200 cr.
