    SRK is the only Superstar of Bollywood to break
    opening records both in India and Overseas.
    Worldwide NumberOne
    see…

    srk is the only actor, who can collect highest nos. on indian as well as overseas box-office….
    now, haters should see, that if srk would come with masala, then what phenomenal response , he gets…..so, it’s not a big deal to collect a decent no. using masala flavor….and i will definitely say, that the masala genre has helped ce a lot to create history…..
    but challenge is, to collect 100 cr with movies like don2, jthj, barfi and with clash with a masala biggie like sos…..
    can anyone do this??? i don’t think so…..

  • Woo Hoo….!!! So SRK is back again. I never thought a movie like Chennai Express will bring luck to SRK. Probably Deepika’s luck is working on SRK as well. No offence SRK & his fans.

  • Hats off king khan..he’s altogethr in a diffnt league..whr u guys..i’m an Srk fan..i used to surf this site but commentng 4 de time..
    Its hapy moment 4 me..our beloved baadshah rocks..right?

  • @indicine…..is it true that ce has crossed 100 cr in two days??? including domestic and overseas collections+paid previews????
    if it is, then it is an another record and i don’t think that it is going to be broken in next 2-3 yrs…
    bcoz one can collect 40 cr on indian b.o., but in overseas, no one has as much acceptance as srk….

  • Excuses…excuses…excuses……all this while SRK fans were accused for giving excuses for SRK’s movies under performance at the BO…now on behalf of SRK haters I am gonna give excuses as to how CE became a BB

    1. Rohit is a bigger brand than SRK.
    2. Deepika has a bigger fan-following than SRK.
    3. EID clash and postponement of AKKi’s movie helped gain publicity…
    4. Vishal-shekhar’s music and honey singh’s song helped gain publicity….
    5. Krrish3 trailer was atached to the movie….

    and last but the biggest excuse

    6. everyone thought its Sallu’s movie as he releases during eid and hence went to theaters…

    listen guys….SRK breaking BO records is no big deal for us….we want him to showcase his acting skills by making movies like MNIK, CDI, Devdas…..and proud that he tried something like Ra-one…..

  • BREAKING NEWS : A dead “Tiger” was found on the railway tracks. Officials say it was run over by “Chennai Express” train.

  • This shows that Star Power is only one of the major factors for opening … Releasing Date is equally important. Salman was enjoying this date as many as 4 times and churned out blockbusters and this time was SRK’s turn and more or less his film performed at par with sallu’s. Although every time level escalates… Also one thing these records will also be broken soon.

  • Well dhoom 3 is the only which break thus record, I dont think krish 3 can break due to diwali.. well anyways congo to ce team

  • iam sooo happy that my king khan is once become king of box office in india and overseas and predict that all site and trade thought become wrong 200 is on board for srk

  • yeah why he is known as king khan…he is known for his consistency….
    first actor to deliver 4 back to back 200 cr grossers..
    only actor after salman to have 3 conti 100 cr grossers in indai and now ce will add to it…
    haters are claiming for more screens and hiked prices but they didn’t realize that even dabang 2 was on 3500 screens and people can check any media report that ticket prices were also hiked at time of bodyguard,tiger and daban2….
    you can expect 10 cr diff at most with hike price but ce is going to make almost 26 cr more than dabang2’s weekend…
    and foolish people will not even talk with overseas business..
    not only in india but ce made record opening in pakistan,nepal,singapore,uk,uae,us-canada too….
    now what will they say about???
    hiked prices????
    many will say it is due to rohit shetty factor…
    to ye answer do ki rohit ki pi6li 3 100cr grossers 107 pe kyu ruk gai thi???
    kyuki usme ajay tha…
    or overseas me rohit ki movie 4 million cross nahi krti thi ajay ki vajah se…
    lekin srk ki vajah se 3.5 million to pehle 2 din me ho gae….
    or india me bhi sar erecord tute vo munafa….
    haters can say what ever they like…
    srk is undoubtebly the most consistent actor with the highest success ratio…you can check any where….enjoy the success all srk fans…

  • fake report above. Chennai express earned 29.12 crores first day. google it, in Wikipedia it mention that Chennai express earned 29.12 crores first day. king salman rules everywhere, in Bollywood, in blockbusters, in no.1 position. king salman rules. this is fake repert. it earned 29.27 crores go and google it in Wikipedia and it mention that Chennai express earned 29.27 first day and 2nd higgest collection after ek tha tiger for first day. in ek tha tiger release, one website mention that ek tha tiger earned 36 crores but Wikipedia mention that it earned 32.96 crores.
    1- ek tha tiger 32.96crores.
    2- Chennai express 29.27crores.

  • now taran adarsh giving figures around 9.30 am. he used to take more time to give figures when a big movie releases. so confused right now, whose figures to believe? taran adarsh or komal nahta?

  • In my view the factors which make differnce in the openings are…. ( Domestic comparision )
    1) Star Power ( SRK=Sallu=Aamir > Hritik=Akshay > Ranbir > ajay and others )

    2) Film Genre ( MASS appealing MASALA ACTION COMEDY > Romance > Thriller > offbeat )

    3) Film quality or Director ( Like Rajkumar Hirani is one of the best director in bollywood and like Barfi earned a lot)

    4) Release Date ( Like EID is proving one of the best dates for big openings)

    5) Release circumstances ( As Srk previous few films have adverse consequences and it affected.)

    6) Marketing and promotion ( Now a days it is a must to big get openings)

    7) Multicasting ( like welcome was )

    and so on

  • @indicine
    thanks for not updating the overseas collection…..me, sachin11, nvs, navin,jc are already suffering too much…..v will try to apply our “srk paid” hypothesis here also….plz support me.

    we luv u SRK til JAB TAK HAI JAAN JAB TAK HAI JAAN…..

  • Thats called super dooper collection…!!! Weekend should be 97-100 crore. Records are made to be broken but this record is MONSTRIOUS!!!

  • dont know about Raavan returns as Ra-one……but “Psycho will return as Mental” and “The Laash wil return as Boom-3” for sure……………

  • Chennai express is unstoppable,and now ouatimd will be a average film;but dont worry akshay will get bb soon,the boss is coming

  • 1) In U.K circuit, Chennai Express‘ preview day collections (£ 142,220) were the most overwhelming as it managed to surpass the records previously held by My Name Is Khan, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, Aamir Khan’s 3 Idiots and Salman Khan’s Ek Tha Tiger.

    2) The film made a record of the Highest Paid-Preview Day Collections. The film earned 6.75 crores from its paid previews only.
