Chennai Express has collected Rs 212.65 crores in its first 18 days at the box office (including paid previews). The film is the highest grosser in the history of Indian Cinema, and has gone past 3 Idiots by around 5%.
India celebrates Krishna Janmastami tomorrow, so business is expected to touch around 3-4 crores on Wednesday. The film should end its 3rd week with total collections of around 218-219 crore. The Shahrukh Khan – Deepika Padukone starrer will end its record-smashing theatrical run with lifetime business of Rs 225 crore.
For films like Krrish 3, Dhoom 3 and even Besharam, Chennai Express will be the film to beat this year. Both in India and the overseas markets where the action-comedy has grossed 110 crores. The worldwide gross now stands at 386 crores, just short of the 3 Idiots record of 392 crores. It remains to be seen if the film can cross the 400 crore mark.

Verdict: ALL TIME BLOCKBUSTER
@dark boy. u have crossed the limits of shamelessness. for u giving free tickets is luring people. but where r the collections. get a life cheapo.
@Indicine. kindly make my comment of comparing 3 idiots and chak de official.
@haters. can’t digest what SRKs tsunami express has done. kindly ” hajmola” khao.
if I add on inflation rates and screen count to the epic CHAKDE of only 3 idiots
Chak de should have grossed more than 350 CRORES in India alone. lol
and if put the inflation rates of today as u idiots are pointing out
Chake de should have netted cool 550 CRORES in India alone. and as every one agrees CHAKDE is miles more classier than so called perfection shameless 3 idiots with elderly people removing their pants and some vulgar speech.
@baapji. and just for the record Chak de with a major clash in 3rd week sustained better than 3 idiots.
hey all SRKians.
kindly let these cheap idiotic haters bark. they can’t digest the success. so they need to vomit it. initially they kept quiet thinking Chennai express would be disaster. but now when its actually rewritten all records they can’t take it. get life illiterate retards.
if all movies with holidays can than what happened to DABBANG 2 and ETT. that too with 4 weeks forty.
if AMIR was the sole reason for 3 idiots success than WY didn’t even TALAASH even cross 100 CRORES. lol
if talking about inflation rates and screen count than put it to Chak de. Can u???? no u can’t. than just shut up and don’t cry on all pages.
loosers do.
and as I said dhoom 3 ll fizzle out even before crossing 150 CRORES. oh I forgot its releasing with 4 weeks empty. how insecure he is. lol
I feel Smell of burning from haters on this page. Please leave us alone. Don’t be insecure of SRK success!
4 actors , 4 years…………………… broken by one actor one film .
Tue 1.70 wed 3.3 thu 1.25 , lifetimetime 227 cr verdict Blockbuster
The movie is the highest grossing film in Indian cinema because he is the one man of bollywood history. he is not others, he is shaharuk khan.
Suddenly India has got so many mathematicians and inflation masters.Where were you when ett released.People asking where was srk before CE should be casted in gajani 2 for their memory loss.The only star in the country to take a film like jthj which had 3hrs runtime and kinda boring story to 100 cr is srk.I challenge salman to make a movie like jthj and collect 100cr.
Agar Currency ka Diffrence hy tou DDlJ 3 Idiots k Muqable pr 2013 me 500 cr ka Business karti…..SRK King of Bollywood…..
@IMAM: first you should learn something you always talk useless without proof and logic, like you people said before when Salman movies created record after record you guys talking about quality of the movie when CE created record it is classic? such a double standard people you SRK fans.
Abey HAMAM…. sorry IMAM….
HAHK broke the Sholay Record.. Usme Salman tha.. thu kya samjhata tera baap tha…
@D A R K boy, yes i agree to your point 100 % but the problem is we have too many srk fans and you can’t make them understand because they just don’t want to.
Graph of “CE” is not that consistent.In weekend it is looking like a graph of T20 match and after that its looking like a Test match graph.Big difference.Only holidays helped this Graph to go at such height.
new Zanjeer movie hero ram charan telugu “MAGADEERA” movie is 1000 times better than 3 – idiots movie…..
Its harsh to accept but a reality. A bundled movie crossed the collection of a classic one.
Shame on my Indian audience, at least there should be some good contents to watch. Hats off to Europeans and Americans those never go for such frenzy @@@@@@ LOL
Srk & his fans are praying for downfall of rupees so that ce can break the record of worldwide collection of 3idiots & first film to gross rs 400cr worldwide.what a shame!
@Imam, you are talking simply trash out here,
Does Salman has the guts?
Why don’t you go and ask him personally?
Pant geeli ho jayeegi.
Salman doesn’t go for records, the records just gets made. His movies have been breaking all but one records in the last 4 years, and yet you come out and talk like a out of mind teenager.
We acknowlege CE broke records, but seems you as a person is too small compared to your egoistic intelligence to accept the above fact.
srk+aamir=salman and ranbir=srk.if yjhd 186cr and ce 215cr, difference 29cr.ce was a eid releace
im not a srk aamir or salman fan….i just love bollywood….and films in general…..refer to the links below….they show biggest box office hits over the years, inflation adjusted…..remember higher collections does not mean bigger hit….

@CE rocks. what u spoke was 100 percent truth.
@jc. dude the argument was all started by dark boy. The problem with u people is u can’t stay on same boat and compete with SRK. u need to bring both Amir and SALMAN in lol.
if u are saying SALMAN wasn’t running after records than I would say SRK wasn’t either.
but this phrase sits more better on SRK rather on SALMAN.
to different genre movies and still give 100 CRORES business and to release in competition
but on other hand doing same stereotypical masala movies and having Eid releases all the time. I fonts say he went after records but certainly he played safe and didn’t experiment. that u should also agree with me.
to call himself a super star lets see the result of sooraj barjatiyas next when it releases
@sachin11. lol. after doing a business of over 215 CRORES in competition how ll the graph look. oh I forgot SALMAN s DABBANG 2 graph never took off even though having 4 weeks empty . lol pity u
