According to UTV Motion Pictures, Chennai Express has collected Rs 33.12 crore on its opening day at the domestic box office. The Shahrukh Khan starrer has smashed all previous box-office records including the opening day (and highest single day business) record set by Ek Tha Tiger last year during Eid.
The film has collected close to Rs 40 crore, including paid previews on Thursday.
Today (Saturday) is a holiday in most parts of the country, so the drop is unlikely to be as huge as Ek Tha Tiger, which collected Rs 14.52 crore on Day 2 – a drop of 55% from its record opening day.
We expect Chennai Express to collect around Rs 85 crore in its first weekend. The SRK – Deepika Padukone film also has a reasonably good chance to be the fastest film to 100 crore.

North India which could have been lower has scored well. East Punjab is comparatively lower if we compare with Ek tha Tiger but Delhi/UP is almost the same though it is due to fact that Ek Tha Tiger was released Pre-Eid and UP does not collect as well in that period. Mumbai and Central India territories have fantastic figures.

BOI says that it’s 29 cr and haven’t broken ETT record. so where are those people who mocked salman fans and said BOI is correct when YJHD released.
Records are meant to be broken. Even if we believe SRK and UTV, the record of ETT was broken by a whisker.
Now let us see, how many days CE is able to keep the record, as K3 and D3 is arriving.
By the way as per BOI & Komal Nahata, ETT still holds the record.
Indicine … pls confirm… as per boxofficeindia …. the fisrt day figures are lower than ETT … which figures are real …
saw chennai express on thursday and saw it again today. have to say second time it’s even more fun now. to see shahrukh khan and deepika chemistry was amazing. the actors were awesome in chennai express. was lotss of fun the part before titli. deepika’s quotes are soo much fun <3
i’m a fan of the bollywood khans and though i love salman i’m okay with chennai express records. i mean this year it’s chennai express but last year it was our tiger. every one his turn it is/ i would also love to see shahrukh khan and salman khan together as friends.
chennai express was really fun
just saw chennai express in the UK and have to say it was such a fun movie :D really rohit shetty now i know why u make comedy movies. even my friend who saw her first bollywood movie found it fun
those tlaking about komal nahtah is figures are always different he tweeted that ek tha tiger made 29 soemthing crore and not 30.9 crore like it was published .he did the same with chennai expres. guess he does not include soem figures that official made

Chennai Express – 33.12 crore
Ek Tha Tiger – 32.5 crore
At any cost, Chennai Express has beaten ETT first day
and emerged Biggest Opener ever. Now calculate

This data is bullshit given by UTV pictures just to promote the movie. Actual collections is around 29 Crores..Refer BOI..
Haterzzz are crying
even TV channels are showing
33.12 cr.
Every news paper published It also…
#GetWellSoonSrkHaters
1st day record gone
weekend record about to broke
C.e 1st day 29 cr. This is real figure by boxofficeindia and komal nahta that was wrong figure by utv
the truth is that the collections from utv is being universally accepted.no one can deny the fact that even if utv post the saturday collections as 50 crore it will be universally accepted simply because they are official.you may see that every newspaper websites and news channels have also posted the same collections(33.12)since they are declared official.the case with boi is it is not an universally accepted website and is majorly famous for posting collections different from other websites,means that 99 websites will claim 100 crore but boi will post 96 crore.i dont know why and how does this happen.thats the reason question arises about is genuinity and no one accepts it.so a general acceptance of 100 people doesnt convince everyone that ce hasnt netted 33.12 crore.i think record is broken
@IMAM hehehe your citing facts here n there from every tom dick and harry site are just as deluded as your hatred filled sermons and poisonous preachings to your few hand picked diciples like xrate, deepu, beingalallu, geeone, John Cena Fan, ruler and nexus…! :-)
Get a holy book out and preach peace rather than garbage you write when you’re in your intoxicated nasha state of mind, which is normally 90% of the day…! :-(
I said congos to Team Shetty as whether its 29 cr net, 33 cr net or 35 cr gross or 39cr net inc previews, the movie by Srk on depressed train passengers boarding the Chennai Depress is Real Huge…! Who would have thought a movie with so much crapgiri can beat Raavan Returns as Ra.ones highest single day record or opening day record of Tiger bhai….! Mindblowing figure so rejoice my mad mullah friend Mr IMAM and spread peace not negativity. Respex to Rohit, Deepikas young jawaani and Thakurs lungi dance. Film certainly rocked on 1st day & so far no derailment. ;-)
Monday collection will tell who is gretest actor in bollywood
It’s a huge collection indeed….as a lot has been written about it, i won’t make any addition….
but on a very serious note, i want to ask some questions from all srk haters…
1. is it not a huge collection for that star, who was assumed to be finish????
2. u were continuously questioning his stardom and all……that he can’t cross 120 cr bla bla bla….let’s say, collections r only 30 cr….still, is not it a big figure??????
3. now i saw some farcical comments…they r saying that it’s not a big deal that on a festive season, if it collected 30 cr…then tell me one thing, is srk the first star, to get benefit from a festive release???
i have been saying from the starting that making a huge profit is not a big deal, if u r going safe side with a masala movie…..these movies r trending now a days and so r the collections…..so collecting a huge amount with masala movies is not a big deal…..but collecting 100+ cr with movies like jthj, don2, barfi is really a big achievement….
now coming to actual collection….almost all websites and news channels r showing that ce is ahead of ett in terms of collections….
abp news even broadcasted a whle coverage that “badshah ne tiger ko piche choda”..
so don’t get confused and accept the success of srk…
@indicine….clear their doubts…plz….
