Before the release of Ek Tha Tiger, we published an article on the records that the Salman Khan film chases. Barely 6 days after it’s theatrical release, it’s time to look back and see which of those records were broken.
- First day : Agneepath’s 21 crore record was absolutely destroyed by Ek Tha Tiger on the opening day of it’s release. We expected anything in the range of 26-28 crores, but ETT did 31.25 crore nett!
- Biggest day : Even if you include collections from the regional versions of Ra One, Ek Tha Tiger quite comfortably surpassed the biggest day in history, once again by a huge margin.
- First Weekend (3 days) : Ra One’s 52.93 crore moves to the second spot, with ETT taking the top spot.
- First Sunday : Previously, Akshay Kumar’s Rowdy Rathore held the top spot for the biggest Sunday. Now, it belongs to Ek Tha Tiger.
- First Week (7 days) : The film hasn’t completed 7 days yet, but has already taken over the top shot in less than 6 days!
- Second Weekend : Will be updated – but the 34 crore second weekend of 3 Idiots is unlikely to be broken.
- Lifetime Collections : Will be updates – has an outside chance if it sustains well over the working weekdays and picks up during the second weekend. The film has 10 open days until Joker releases on 31st August. The only competition this week will be from a small film Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi.
Other records and achievements for Ek Tha Tiger
- The first film to cross 30 crores in a single day.
- The first day and first Sunday were both more than 20 crores – no other film has crossed the 20 crore mark twice.
- Is the fastest to 100 crores – joined the much-hyped club in less than 6 days – the previous record was held by Bodyguard, which took 7 days.
- Ghajini in 2008 was the first film to cross 100 crores. Since then, Yashraj Films have produced and released 11 films, but Ek Tha Tiger is the banner’s first 100 crore film.
- ETT is also Katrina Kaif’s first (solo) 100 crore grosser.
- On it’s 7th day, if you go by the figures from Boxofficeindia, only 6 films are currently ahead of Ek Tha Tiger – Agneepath, Ready, Rowdy Rathore, Dabangg, Bodyguard and 3 Idiots. All other films have been beaten in less than 6 days and this includes biggies like Ghajini, Golmaal 3, Ra One (hindi only), Don 2 and Housefull 2.
Obviously, the holiday release, hiked ticket prices and more frequent shows due to it’s short runtime – have all helped the film exceed even the unrealistically high pre-release expectations of the trade.
The film has broken every record in the first 6 days of it’s release. The magical figure of 200 crores, the only remaining record of real interest, remains to be surpassed.

Everyone knows Salman wasnt a big star before 2010. Let’s talk about the last 3 years guys. Or lets talk about this year. Dont live in the past.. Who cares about it? Can SRK beat Salman today? No way!! Not even close. He beat Ra One and Don 2 in just 6 days. Buhahahah
Chennai express will crush ur shera khan like lightning express some where near eid.
Salman was sleeping before wanted hahahaha lol…
.
Sallu fans were barking that ett will smash 3idiots record….
Film has crashed on monday and collected only 16crs which is a holiday……and 3300screens with hiked prices etc etc but still only 16crs is just pathetic
Lol somebody has said that salman is rocking the world with ett…
.
Hell rocking…
.
6days overseas is 20crs only which don2 did in only 2days itself….
.
Sunider, Lol who cares past then LOL, then this is orthotic even this boring ETT records have have been past so who cares about this boring records. Am I right? Stop leaving in the past dude, even these records indicine mentioned are now history I,e past. Think about ur Sallu’s future romantic movies my dear sunider, hope he dosent make another yuvraaj

5)dabang–212crs
6)mnik—208crs

.
Whereas shahrukhs movie grossed 3timers 200crs and stands at 2,3,6 positions
@riyas: if u r talking abt histry let me remind u HUM AAPKE HAIN KAUN WAS D MOVIE WHICH BROKE SHOLAY’S RECORD BT I THINK 4 U HISTOY ONLY MEANS 2009
Ayan, let me tell u that DDLJ is the only romantic movie to cross 300cr in india itself.
This is DDLJ’s 17 year and it’s still running hehe in theaters.
@Rizwan, stop posting wrong figures. Correct one is this
1. Three Idiots (2009) – 385 crore
2. Bodyguard (2011) – 230 crore
3. Dabangg (2010) – 215 crore
4. Don 2 (2011) – 206 crore
5. Ra.One (2011) – 202 crore
6. My Name Is Khan (2010) – 200 crore
7. Agneepath (2012) – 193 crore
8. Ghajini (2008) – 190 crore
9. Ready (2011) – 184 crore
10. Housefull 2 (2012) – 180 crore (4 Weeks)
People will remember films like ddlj, kkhh.., k3g, veer zaara, swades, chak de india, rnbdj, mnik….
Because these are epic films which has won every ones heart and will be remembered for decades or even centuries…
.
But who will remember rowdy, singham, bol bachan, bodyguard, ready, wanted, ek tha tiger, veer ?????
.
I guess people will remember salmans movies only mpk, hahk thats it…
.
Salmans other films are meant for only boxoffice records not in publics heart
200 crores still looks tough yaar…even if it makes 145 crores in the extended first week 200 seems to be tough because it will face competition from 24th on-wards in the form of EXPENDABLES 2 which will take some screens from multiplexes..and then joker releases on 31st so there is minimum chance of ek the tiger doing 200 crores unless it beats dabangg for the second weekend and second week records..
@MARZ: B4 RELEASE OF GHAJNI ALSO ddlj was not in top three
top three were
humaapke hain kaun
sholay & maine pyaar kiya
Ayan,What type of top three r u talking man, the romantic movie cross 300cr till now is DDLJ.
Sunider, for gid sake can u check when it is updated? At match 1.
Don2 and ra.one crossed bodyguard records, just stop crying like a baby.

i see a lot of srk and salman khan fans fighting on dis super website everyday….wat these people dont realise is that We have a Khan by the name of AAMIR who started this 100 crore & 200 crore club…the real baap of hindi cinema will take this club to next target of 250 crores with Talaash and wait for Dhoom 3 it has 300 crores written all over it and with PK 400 crore club will be established which will take another 4-5 years to beat like 3 idiots collections stands tall even today….I am happy for Salman Khan he deserves it…Srk made fun of him during all d award functions…i still remember him standing next to him when he got best supporting actor award for kuch kuch hota hai ….Salman is d biggest brand now ..only Aamir can break his records….nobody can even come to close it otherwise
@rizwan: u forgot ANDAZ APNA APNA HUM DIL DE CHUKE SANAM, TERE NAAM & HUM SAATHSAATH HAIN
no chance to beat 3 idiots eet collection goes down 2end week.max 155-165 crore
3 idiota collection break only peekay(rajkumar hirani next movie).Dhoom 3 such as ek tha tiger around 175-190 crore
@niks, srk made fun of aamir in award function to entertain audience, where as aamir abused srk in front of media.
Joking and insulting in front of media for no reason and making jokes to entertain audience are two different things.
Even Imran made fun if aamir in award function by acting as gajini what donunsay about that?
Even ranbir made fun of srk in award function by doing my name is khan act. Srk just laughed at his act instead if insulting and joking I front if media.
Aamir may be a baap of Bollywood records but he and salman are Chota baccha in reality.
@surinder
@nagesh
3 idiots worked only and only bcoz of script…………..
if it worked bcoz of aamir then why he havent got a single best actor award for 3 idiots….
now plz dont say that awards are biased….
ok if i agree that awards are biaesd then why he didint got national award for his acting in 3idiots………
now national awrads are not biased right
@suninder who told u that mission kashmir banged mohabbatein in 2000?we all know that mk is a flop n mohabbatein a super hit n second highest grosser after kaho na pyar hai…ha ha ha now it tell u that kites banged 3 idiots can anyone believe me?
