to all SRKians. kindly look at this.
in 2007 there was movie by name CHAKDE INDIA. It was just released on 400 screens in India.
400 screens. it collected about 70 CRORES. and didn’t even have any week empty. I put it again
400 screens = 70 CRORES. in 2007 without any week empty
now look at 3 idiots released in 2009. obviously the ticket prices would be doubled than it was in 2007. when I checked from reliable sources it was around 58 percent higher. released in 1468 screens. nearly 2 months free run. how much does it collect. 202 CRORES.
1468 screens = 202 CRORES in 2009 with 2months empty .
so if u equate it its
1750000 per screen for Chak de
and
1376800 per screen for 3 idiots.
now if I put the ticket price of 3 idiots for Chak de to make the comparison clear
.than I need to add nearly 32 CRORES to Chak de
so it becomes
3000000 per screen for Chak de ( without any weeks empty )
1376800 per screen for 3 idiots ( with nearly 2 months empty )
so this shows CHAKDE was way way huge than so called perfection 3 idiots
both in class and money.
that shows SRK power.
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
ha ha ha
@ 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
Records are meant to be broken and if chennai express record is broken by madras cafe or
satyagraha, it is okay we need 200 cr grossers, 100 cr is obsolete now it is the 150 cr that is
now in vogue.

Welcome to the 150 cr league

@boss u have commented everything without commenting anything.lol.i will also bookmark this page and we will see how many records “CE” has broken in the above mentioned 8 records.
@qamar! its a CE article and people are here commenting n celebrating about CE. If ur narrow mind is not ready to accept the huge success of CE then better to leave. Ur crying cant change the fact and cant stop the bullet speed of this express.
U always crying about RDB.
Was RDB a solo hero movie?
And how u can put the question mark infront of SRK’s Credibility?
I can give u gr8 example which can prove the difference of Star Power of SRK & Aamir.
Chak De India (A Classic) (Critics & Audiance Darling)
(Slow Pace Sports Drama & the Suspense which team will win at the end & how?)
Everyone was thinking before release that the movie will not work.
But the result: Blockbuster
Talaash (Critics Darling)
(Slow Pace Mystery Drama & the Suspense which revel at the end)
Everyone was thinking its an Aamir Khan movie it will work big time and will beat many record and will creat newer.
But the result: Average (90cr just at the time when new generation is also achieving 100cr easily.)
So my question is where was star power of so called perfectionist during Talaash & Dhobi Ghat?
I think SRK was somewhat immoral the way he handled this CE vs OUATIMD clash but
looking at it from another angle releasing a movie on Eid or any day does not guarantee
success it only solidifies it.
3 idiots (202 cr) vs don 2 (106) christmas releases
Wanted (64 cr) vs chennai express (202 cr) eid releases
If CE had negative audience rating like son of sardaar or himmatwala then dobara could
have taken advantage of it.
dobara’s problem is that it was too concerned with joining the 100 cr league so it replaced
emraan with akshay as shoiab where is it now.
@Noam congrats dear. Its a Proud moment for us. and by the way gr8 replies to haters from ur side.
They are crying crying n crying and giving stupid and lame excuses. Poor haters
@hrithik. U can find there my comments with the name of @Sahir. U poor dodo.
I m proud of RA.One, Don-2, JTHJ.
U r not actually a Hindustani or Bollywood Lover. U r must be a servent of Salman or Hrithik who paid u for all these bad-mouthing and senseless comments. If that is not a case then u must appreciate the good work always. RA.One is one movie which make India & Bollywood proud as for as VFX & Technology is concern. It gives a hope and courage to other bollywood production houses to do experiments and take Bollywood to next level. I accept RA.One had a week story but final product and out look was a proud product.
Though i m SRK fan but i always appreciate good work. Koi Mil Gaya, Krish and now Krish-3 they r great in all respects. I like Rang De Basanti, Lagan & 3-Idiots they r classics. I like Khamoshi (though that was flop), Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Jan-e-Mann (though that was Flop too).
But here i m talking about Super Star Power. I accept Salman generated huge star power after Wanted that is why weak movies like Bodyguard, Ready & Dabang-2 done huge business. Dabang & ETT were better.
But the thing is which u dont want to accept is SRK Super Star Power. SRK deleviers 100cr+ movies during his low phase with weak contents. That is realy just because of his Craze & Crisma which cant be change even hater dont accept. Truth will remain truth. Aamir was unable to take Dhobi Ghat & Talaash to 100cr as reviews were gr8.
I will accpet SRK a weak star if his movie will appreciate by critics got 4+ stars but still struggle to reach 100cr club.
In Akkis case u cant deny that fact. OMG & SC-26 are big examples.
Today Masala Gener is working but accept this thing too that Masala Gener too must have some logic & attraction behind. Otherwise if its only a masala movie with senseless plot and dialouges u cant attract audiance. Big examples are Khildai-786 & Himmatwala.
So accept the fact that Chennai Express is way better then previous Masala Flicks that is way Audiance go crazy.
I am romance express change my id to romance nw_yr, my dream is fulfill now as 3idiots records are broken now and after 3rd week or 4th weekned 3i record also broken acc to boi. Ce wordwide 375cr, just 20cr need to break 3i worldwide gross record.
@Noam great analysis bro, ce lifetime col min 220cr, lets see.
3idiots was a great movie and this record was not a big deal except that it proved SRK is still the biggest superstar.
For those talking about about rang de basanti remember there is n alice patten and in lagaan
there are paul blackthorne and rachel shelly.
In devdas no british or american performer but bafta nomination, time magazine list as best
2002 film worldwide, in black friday (anurag kashyap film) no foreign performer but nominated
in political film society, in my name is khan (karan johar film) foreign performers have limited
though essential roles won best film human rights category from political film society. The
political film society has no record of lagaan, rdb, 3i, slumdog millionaire and cdi.
Huhh…. Finalllllly…..
Thank god… I wanna thanxx Allah for making ce d biggest grosser
Now i hope ce ‘s verdict by trade analysts shd change from blockbuster to all time blockbuster..!!
Suddenly all salman fans turned into aamir fans….actually, they have a tendency…they r a bunch of srk haters….they have nothing to do with salman and all….each time, they look that who is giving competition to srk and they start following that person….for example, at the time of ghajini, they used to praise aamir…..again, when sallu got that safe formula of giving blockbusters (masala crap), they queued behind….and now, as sallu don’t have any record of highest grosser, they r again referring aamir….such a fluctuation…..lol…..seriously, now i m feeling pity for both aamir and salman…
@noam…..they r disappeared bro….bcoz they can’t digest the success of others…..and i can bet, that let salman give a flop, they would stop following him……so, what can we say about such “being humans”….no words r left for them…:P btw ur records and awards reference was awesome…other khans have to take an another birth to reach the heights of srk and it is a fact…..
@james….nice job man…i, too, read that comment…..where r these two losers “boss” and “sachin11”?????
in my (August 24, 2013 at 2:30 pm) comment :
read this line as
“collection of 3 idiot was phenomenal not bcoz of aamir’s star power, but bcoz of content and screen play”…
sorry for that mistake….
3idiots worldwide 392cr
ce worldwide 374cr
just 19cr need to break 3i record and 26cr need to create the history of 400cr club, which is likely possible, the king is back, don’t forget me, i am the most loveable person of indicine romance express turned new_yr
Guys now i m preparing my comments for the Historic Artical about CE crosses Humongous 400cr Worldwide.
Get ready SRKians the Artical is Coming Soon.
Believe me it will happen very soon ISA.
Congratulation
#Noam #RomanceExpress #cerocks #xzone you guyz cheers srk till last breath you deserve to celebrate this record
congrats to all srkians including King, Noam, Romance Express, Soroop, my fav trio (xzone, Gewone & IMAM) for CE success !!!!
It will be inetresting to see who is going to break CE records n how long CE gonna hold these records. It may not hold as much as (4 years) like 3 Idiots. Even srk said records are made to be broken n they will break soon !!!!
For those idiots fans of Aamir who said SRK breaks the 3Idiots record after 4 years. My question for them is where was Aamir himself during these bl o o dy 4 years? He got 2 releases but failed to cross even 100cr. So that shows the truth behind the mega success of 3 Idiots. No need to explain more.
For those Mental fans of Salman who said SRK breaks the 3Idiots record after 4 years. My question for them is where was Salman’s power during these bl o o dy 4 years? He got 5 releases (Dabang, Ready, Bodyguard, Ek Tha Tiger, Dabang-2) but failed to cross 200cr even he got the edge of holiday releases & open weeks. No need to explain more.
@noam. so srk has won 190 awards really dont tell lies man meanwhile poor srk never won a national awards shame on srk. even our ajaydevgan has won.
@noam. so srk has. never won 190 awards really dont tell lies man meanwhile poor srk never won a national awards shame on srk. even our ajaydevgan has won.
DON’T UNDER ESTIMATE THE POWER OF KING KHAN, COZ HIS NAME IS KHAN AND HE IS A RECORD BREAKER :-)
It is expected after 4 years dry spell records have come to SRK, so the noise. But the noise will be silent very soon.
