Don’s enemies should always remember that Don never forgets anything
Dhoom3; Krrish3; Jai Ho; Kick; Thuppaki; BLAH BLAH..the only non-SRK film than can achieve a new benchmark like the 250cr mark is non other than RAJKUMAR HIRANI’s PEEKAY!!!
Srk is my favorite actor.
Haters are not behaving like mature over night…
You guys use to throw trash on srk and his movies and his fans too…
So now go and hide ur faces…
I laugh alot seeing ur predictions for CE.
and the best one was ready’s collections…
Rofl
@ All SRK fans: Let us not abuse other stars and their fans… It really hurts when you have to hear things about the star you idolize….
There’s nothing more to prove.. Even in his so called lowest phase of his career Srk was constantly giving 100+ movies(10 consecutive hits in a row).. Whereas Salman delivered 7 flops in a row (yuvraj, mr. &mrs khanna , veer , god tussi great ho etc) …. Then SK discovered his mojo by doing masala pot boilers and tasted maximum success domestic (overseas no one could ever challege srk).. Now SRK has done a masala film and the results are for everyone to see.. Beating sallu in his own game … Victory never tasted so sweet.. Even if in coming times Sallu manage to break CE domestic records (I know not going to happen but for argument sake)he will never get near the global collections of CE.. Srk rocks
Earlier in early 90’s Srk was pitted against Aamir and sallu den late nineties with Hrithik and den due to lack of competion Amitabh bachhan.. Den Aamir again followed by Akshay and now Salman. Its for everyone to notice SRk has been the only permanent barometre of comprasion.. Give it to him guys (even the haters) he deserves it ..What matter over a long period of time is ‘CONSISTENCY’ and not one or two blockbusters.. He’s the supreme one the biggest bollywood will ever have…
Often I hear people criticizing SRK. Saying he can’t act he doesn’t look good. He can’t dance.. Doesn’t hv a good physique so can’t do action.. I just hv one answer to it : SRK is not the most gifted person by God still he’s ruling since last two decades so all d haters should admire him much more and realize that the fault is in their judgment and not in SRK. He an ordinary man (with just about decent looks and body) has achieved everthing on his own merit and should inspire us all to aim for the Sky and not limit ourselves..
Even wen Great Sachin walks in to bat the pressure on him is to score a 100 but with Srk 100cr is not enuff he’s expected to cross the higgest 202 cr (3 idiots ) everytime (every release) and with CE he has broken dem all and claimed the throne again .. Love u Srk..
The worst movie collected the most bucks. I am terrified of our audiences, where they are going.
SRK delivered more classic movies with his best acting skills not like this where acted over.
Unbelievable ! The movie haven’t good plot as well as story. It sucks but broke the record of a classic movie 3 Idiot.
It is a frenzy, peoples have you lost your mind ??? I am asking have you really lost ???
@shiladitya….ok man…i accepted that earning money is nt the parameter…but kindly, u notify that then what is that “parameter”?? And if it is so, then u will have to accept that srk’s mnik,don2,jthj were much better than craps like “ett”,”bodyguard”,”ready”,”talash” etc..
And don’t talk abt dollar calculation…if u really want to compare, then compare “cdi” wid any movie and then come up wid ur comment….u guys use ur mathematics only at srk’s release…right???
@rama sena…no srk fan has claimed that ce’s record will be unbroken..records r meant to broke and we ll accept when it wud be broken…we r nt like u guys, who knw only crying..lol
@dxt namm….my reply to “rama sena” is applicable to u as well…moreover, we never faced humilation bcoz we don’t have fluctuations like u…we love srk and continue to do so till our last breath irrespective of his “good/bad” phase…bt u look at urself..15 days back , u were a die hard sallu fan and when u realized that sallu can’t make it, u satrted following aamir….
For ur second comment,why din’t salman break that record in last 4 yrs with eid releases and 3 open weeks….and now, i don’t think that he wud get 3 open weeks bcoz of these jammed packed schedules…now tell me, who don’t have brain, u or us???
@abhijeet…..so according to u, “ett”,”bg”,”ready” were awesome movies and thus, ur taste is fantabulous …is it so??
@khayali….may i knw the name of ur fav movies….u r acting like u r the most concerned person abt bollywood…bt i wonder mr/miss khayali, that where do u hide urselves at sallu/amir releases……ur comment is perect example of double standard..so better stay away from ce pages…we have enjoyed watching ce, so u need nt to question abt mind set and all…this time, my tone was polite but i can’t ensure that it wud remain same next tym…rest u better knw..
BOI says 186 crore. ETT still grossed more!
Why doesn’t anyone care about the damn genre.I mean SRK does one masala film and it shatters every possible record.Before CE he was doing jtjh,don2,raone,mnik etc which everyone must accept that they aren’t movies which an average Indian would like to watch and yet ra1 and mnik broke few records.Now look at sallu’s movies ett,db,db2,bg,ready,I really want to laugh at sallu’s fans who are commenting here.
And those who are suddenly following BOI like a holy website,let me tell you according to it yjhd and ett collected 177 and 186 crores.For those who are saying CE didn’t break 3I record don’t worry it will break next week ;-)
King khan always be king. ——–> 45 likes tu bantahe
Indicine what do you think will Krrish 3 break CE’s record?
@ khayali : This is the audience khayals no one
can preach or force audience to watch or stop
from a movie. Nowadays world n people lives are
full of stress every1 wants to go to a movie
where they can laugh n get enjoyed to bust
stress. Though I agree CE n Salman masala
movies cannot be compare to a classic like 3
idiots but trends have changed thats a fact. FYI …
I am a Salman fan.
@Golden never nor even D-3
Khayali…
When Dabaang,bodygaurd,d2,raowdy rathode,SOS and ett were collecting crores where were you and your class…??
@xzone – to clear ur doubt i must state dat m a salman khan fan.. but i do respect other actors n their capabilities as well.. be it aamir, hrithik, ranbir n others.. so when i praise aamir that is becoz i respect him as an actor n his capabilities at the box office.. so is the case with hrithik too.. as far as salman khan is concerned, as u too know its a matter of time before all the records are his!
Yeh hai Kingkhan……
@dxt namm:like your comment, as people said record made to be broken while CE creates record it is a matter of time to be broken 3 big movies lineup KRISSH-3,DHOMM-3 & MENTAL these three movies can break any record just wait and watch it.
how useless guyz u r… atleast give some credit to the well deserved movie 3 idiots… n d peoples who r saying that WELL DESERVED!!! c’mon, i have also seen CE, it has no reason to become the highest grosser. 100cr, 150 cr, 199… but it didnt had any element to become such a grosser…
Awesome’st feeling…:) Feeling top of the world as a King khan fan..|| can’t say this was the greatest movie ….bt ,yet again SRK showed his metal……love u SRK
Indicine ,plzz tell me the lifetym overseas collection of CE
Salman bhai ka mental aa raha hai.life time collection of india 230crore sure and oversess collection 100crore.total worldwide grosses 425crore.boxoffice king only one salman bhai.
Wait 4 Dhoom 3..!
