Chennai Express has gone past the lifetime collections of Salman Khan’s 2012 Eid release Ek Tha Tiger in just 2 weeks. In the highest grossing films of all time, Chennai Express now stands second, behind Aamir Khan’s 3 Idiots.
Chennai Express – Ek Tha Tiger
The Khans have once again proved their sheer dominance in the industry as they take the Top 3 spots. Currently, Aamir Khan is at No 1, but that should change tomorrow when Shahrukh Khan’s latest release finally crosses the 202 crore mark. Salman is at No 3. But all this could change with the release of Dhoom 3 and Mental in the next few months. Hrithik Roshan with Krrish 3 is also a contender to take one of the 3 spots!

Pls
Save tigers first then after you save records
humongous to say the least.
u talked about digits and numbers in every single comparison.
we gave u plenty of it.
don’t underestimate the power of common man
Its a big shame for our film industry that a film like CE have collected so much.. one of the worst Srk film it is.. #ripbollywood
Hahaha….sach main ek tha tiger..!!
Wait for KRRISH 3..
Jungle toh wahi par ab sher badal gaya hai dost.
Tejan salman last four films are such worst films of indian cinema like Ek tha tiger, Dabangg2, ready , bodyguard, etc
Ab yahi trend chal raha hai
Congrats….all the best to Krishh3
If Krishh3 beats CE then we will have 3 ATBBs in the samr year…history….
@Sachin11, Navin where r u now?
& all those who were saying that it will be himmatwala 2?
Ek tha record.
Congo to all Record xpress team..
Super express, super film.
Where are navin and sachin11 who said it will not cross ETT’s collection , :-p
cheer up srkianss
ETT can’t even cross 200 cr. Even it gets 4 open weeks
CE cross it easily despite competition OUATIMD
After Fastest 50,100 and 150 cr.
Srk scores fastest 200 cr. Also
We went to get the pirated DVDs in Johor… BUT OMG!!!! All sold out !!!!!!! I’ve watched it thrice in the big screen… All I can say is…. King is King. SRK…. carry on your hard work … We need ppl like you to entertain us in this stressful world …. Thanks King!!!
It was really sad that ETT didn’t make it to 200 by just 0.4 crores. Happy for CE…. ATBB
Only srk can make fastest 100 or 200 than Chris Gayle ..
Wow! I can’t beleive
truly srk is a global superstar
love u srk
Proud of Srk
200 cr. Is not a joke
even good movies with better script can’t cross 200 cr. All it matter is Stardom which Srk has
210 cr. Which will be the bench mark of bollywood where others will chase it :)
Oh yes , we made it
tiger fans are dead now, rest in peace :D
now only 1 station wait 4 our Shah Record express Khan and after few hours he will cross it to a knew record .
Go Go Go
Ce is better than ett in both quantity wise and quality wise.
ETT had 10% promotions compare to CE, released on ramzan month, only got 3 holidays still collected 199.86cr in 3250 screens.
ek “THA” tiger
@Anuj
Why are you trying to justify why ETT failed to reeach magical figure when every one is enjoying the great success achieved by GREAT SRK. Just enjoy CE success.
Great..
Srk was always the king….this time he just tried what salman was doing past 4 years…but he showed how to break records without removing shirt!!!! King is only srk…
yupee finally all srk haters r dead
@Anuj: It was most promoted movie that year…and buzz was 100%… kuch bhi mat bol…infact it was more popular dan CE.. considering every aspect..
i am eagarly waiting to hear that speech- ‘Chennai express crossed the lifetime collection of 3 idiots & made a new history’
Ek tha tiger 199cr in 35days
chennai express 200 in 14days
chennai express 225cr in 35days.
Verdict All time blockbuster
