  • haters… if dabangg 2 had that much competition it would have stopped at 120crs lol…
    compare the latest release of both srk and sallu dabangg clearly under performed…even worse that JTHJ which had major competition.. but u guys dont have guts to admit that,… I know every salman fan’s blood pressure is rising but wait and watch in how many days dabbang 2 collections are surpassed..

  • @Indicine. kindly could u reply to these
    1) kindly update the comparison between ETT and Chennai express
    2) overseas collections and records which Chennai express has broken over seas . plz

  • and also how many screens would Chennai express have tomorrow and how many would OUTIMD
    have and what’s the advance booking for both

  • @noam, don’t talk about Arabs, they don’t know a damn thing anyhow. I was in gulf for 3 years, and guess what before they only heard Amitabh Bachhan, and they thought he was an Afghan. lol.

    they only have loads of money and that’s it, no solid education or gen knowledge, nothing.

  • CE to beat 3 idiots record on august 30 (UTV data) and also on september 17 (box office india data)
    All the best to OUATIMD, madras cafe and satyagraha.

  • @jc. u don’t talk about any thing. I was in gulf for 8 years. and it was fine. finding excuses is Ur fact.
    grow up
    overseas. its always SRK
    was is and will be.

  • @jc. its not what I am talking. its what mumbai mirror is talking. if they new nothing than WY did OUTIMD go there. is it to put pickles???
    Dubai has got 60 percent Indian population. so obviously the king knows India well.
    ha ha ha ha ha. burning from inside

  • Congrats to Thakur as he has finally beaten the 1234 sorry I meant the 123.4 cr net total of Ready…! Awesome achievement by srkians and Team Shetty. Well done. ;-)

    @beingxzonefan Overseas and KANK…?! Dont know what foreign territory you could be possibly referring to and no idea what adultery blue film you talking about or you been renting but in either case you keep thinking that overseas is more important than India and how a porno flick has more substance than Indian masala films- its your perogative but believing something to be true doesnt make it so…!
    Indian audiences love masala and they dont care about the rubbish the intl audience love for instance mnik and your KANK…! :-P

  • This film has received a overwhelming response when srk and sallu are freinds why is there so man people jelous with these collections with harsh comments towards srk. I live In uk and am suprised of the taste of indian audience . Film was alive due to acting of srk . Only masala films will work in bo due to the taste of indians. Chennai express has broken all records till yet except the yjhd 1 missing out by a few lakhs. So let’s get it clear. 125 cr is astonishing in 5 days on average its 25cr a day. In my view this movie doesn’t deserve to get in to 200cr club but after all srk has tried all kinds of movies. Romance,action, sci fi but they don’t seem to cause huge effect on bo but are good movies liked by fans worldwide. However with 125cr 5 days. Weekdays collection over 10cr will be fabulous. Say it makes 10.5cr on wednesday taking its collections to 135cr estimate. So 15th august another biggie OUATIMD releasing people will give it a watch but think about romance drama movies are no longer accepted by indian people. Say if ouatimd didn’t release then chennai express would make 20cr on holiday but with ouatimd releasing the business will split 15cr each is my early estimate for thursday for both movies. Friday chennai express will collect about 8-9 cr due to weekend late friday night shows which should be occupied to 80-90 percent occupancy . Friday col will be about figure above 10cr leaving the first week collections to 160cr. This means it breaks the highest week col . Then comes weekend sunday-saturday these 2 days col will be about 15cr both days. 30cr on weekend for chennai express and OUATIMD . Chennai express will have 190cr or a bit less by the 2 weekends end. As OUATIMD stands it will collect 55cr in its 1st three days. Mon-fri chennai express will collect 2cr each day if not more. Chennai express will hit the 200cr mark by the end of its 2nd week breaking collections of 3 idiots highest 2nd week. It will. Then surpass 3 idiots lifetime col in lakhs. You must be thinking my prediction is biased but when you split the business its an accurate prediction. Ce lifetime col will be 205cr . OUATIMD will collect 90cr in its first week. Lifetime col about 110-120cr due to release of madras cafe the same week.

  • guyz 125c is only 5 days collection. Picture abhu baki hai mere dost.. Definitely record xpress won’t stop before breaking ol the previous box office records.. Whether by 3idiots n by ett…. So wait n watch … Srk roxx

  • lol. can see u r burning inside. dude if the international audience don’t know any thing. than what do u know.
    pity u all people
    SALMAN was doing all masala flicks for records. now king SRK with just one masala flick breaks all records in style. ha ha ha ha pity u
    if u don’t mean what overseas means. it means outside India. kindly go to school again.
    when SALMAN was all these movies u were in praise
    now when king SRK has done it Ur puny little mentality has arisen. porno
