Box Office Records that Salman Khan targets with Sultan

It cannot get bigger than Sultan. The biggest star in the industry, the biggest film of the year and the second most successful period for film releases. The buzz is unbelievably high. Ask any exhibitor or anyone else in the trade and he’ll tell you the demand and craze for the film is extraordinary.

Sultan is the first event film of the year too. A film that could shatter box office records, both on its opening day and the extended 5-day weekend.

The current all-time record holders are as follows:

  • Highest Opening Day: Happy New Year 44.97 crore
  • Highest Single Day: Happy New Year 44.97 crore
  • Highest Opening Weekend: Happy New Year 108.86 crore
  • Highest Opening Weekend with just one holiday: Dhoom 3 107.61 crore
  • Highest First Week: Dhoom 3 188.99 crore
  • Highest Grosser of All Time: PK 340 crore

The 2016 record holders are:

  • Highest Opening Day 2016: FAN 19.20 crore
  • Highest Single Day 2016: Housefull 3 (Sunday) 21.80 crore
  • Highest First Weekend 2016: Housefull 3 53.31 crore
  • Highest First Week 2016: Airlift 83.5 crore
  • Highest Second Weekend 2016: Airlift 19.26 crore
  • Highest Second Week 2016: Airlift 28.79 crore
  • Highest Grossing film of 2016: Airlift 128.45 crore

All 2016 records won’t just be surpassed, but will be decimated by Sultan. It could double the previous best. Sultan could also become the highest Hindi grosser of 2016 in 5 days or less if the film finds appreciation. Even with average word-of-mouth, it’s a foregone conclusion that the Salman Khan film will race past Airlift.

The targets that can do justice to Salman’s stardom will be those at all-time levels. As far as opening records are concerned, Happy New Year will be the film to beat. When it comes to lifetime, if the word-of-mouth is strong, comparisons will immediately begin with Bajrangi Bhaijaan and PK. If the film gets a mixed response, we could be looking at Chennai Express and Kick. If the film turns out to be very poorly made, then Bodyguard and Dabangg 2 will be more realistic comparisons.

Less than 4 days to go then. Stay tuned to Indicine, we have many more Sultan articles, including a special QnA dedicated only to Salman and Sultan tomorrow.

  • @ Tamed Tiger,
    Yes, We got a full right to challenge the Non Actor to
    release his any crap without Eid.
    We all would like to see the all records and
    collections of all his crap movies which don’t belong
    to Eid.
    He is nothing without Eid and taking alms of Eid
    since 2008 and You all 2008 born fans are also
    bounded like him.
    Jigar chahiye, Bhai…
    Eid Made Star, Eid Se Bahar Nahi Nikal Paayega,
    Otherwise Jai Ho 2, Jai Ho 3, Jai Ho 4, Jai Ho
    5………. banti rahegi, Hahahahahahaha…
    Kaahe ka actor, Eid dependent non class so called
    actor is nothing in front of the most versatile actor
    of decade Akki Bhai…

  • @unmatchable makki:

    And we have already seen the prowess of jokerboy during holidays!
    Xmas- 60cr (tmk).
    Deewali- 25cr (AR).
    Independence day- 60cr-80cr (OUATIMD, brothers etc).
    Gandhi jayanti- 80cr (SIB).

    The jokerboy yet give a single HGOTY and ATBB in his 25 years old career but his ikka-dukka fans are blabbering nonsenses on a Megastar Bhai who gives highest no of HGOTY and blockbusters to the industry. What an irony!!!!!

  • @sweet hert:

    Don’t change your colour you dumb. The article is about opening but you blabbered “Bhai doesn’t have a single alltime record”. When we have shown you the all-time records you are trying to hide behind the article! Stop being chameleon!!

    Yes Bhai has more flops among three Khans. But he also maximum no of HGOTY, HGOTD, blockbusters, hits among the three Khans. What about that???

  • @ Tamed Tigress…
    Megastar Bhai…???
    Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, ROFL…
    You made my day, Moron, Hahahahahahahaha…
    Tujhhe Teri language mein samjhhata hu…
    Salmoron = Eid Made Star, Single Movie In A Year,
    That Also Releases On Eid, High Ticket Prising,
    Manipulative Figures, Giving Money To Trades
    Analysts, Non Actor, Criminal, Manners Less, An
    Talentless Actor who depends on Eid, Having
    numberless filed cases on himself, Non Civilized
    Human Being, Danger For Civilized Society, Etc…
    Akki = Self Made Superstar, The Most Versatile
    Actor Of The Industry Ever Came, Most Disciplined
    Human Being, Have Enough Guts To Release 4
    Films A Year And Making All Them Successful, Only
    Superstar Who Loves To Take Risks And Have Guts
    To Release His Films On Non Holidays And Pull The
    Audience 4 Times A Year Constantly, Only Actor
    Who Doesn’t Require Cheap Publicity And Does Get
    Himself Indulge Into Any Controversy, The Emperor
    Of Style Who Changed The Rules And Proved It
    Strongly That The Industry Never Required A
    Superstar To Be Khan Or Kapoors, The Only Actor
    Who Always Love To Work Out Of Comfort Zone…
    Saal mein ek movie (That also on Eid) lakar koi bhi
    hit karva sakta hai, Jerk…
    If the stardom speaks of the Non Actor, Ask him to
    to release his any 3 films on the dates when Eid is
    not falling…
    The whole universe will see closely his stardom…
    But, He won’t do it coz, He has said it already few
    days back, I love stardom and I am afraid to lose
    it…
    Yesss, The stardom which is got in the name of Eid
    Festival…
    Anyways, My simple question’s answer is still
    awaited…
    Why does he (Eid Made Star) not release his movies
    on Eid?
    Please publish an article of this non actor’s records
    and box office collections on the dates rather than
    all Eids when his craps were released…
    Pleaseee…
    LOLxxx…

  • Tiger ki tatti Bhai has small scale blockbuster compare to srk’s blockbuster if each movie of srk and salman movie does similar business salman movie called blockbuster and srk movie called just hit or super hit because of level of their stardom. Srk’s many movies are hit which would be called blockbuster for Bhai. Like Mhn, vz, HNY, khnh, devdas etc. Amitabh’s hit movie were bigger grosser than Jitendra’s blockbuster

    Ex. Ce > dabang, bodyguard, ett,
    Dilwale> jai ho
    HNY > ready, d2
    Koyla > judwa
    Josh > cccc, tere naam, dhlj
    MNIK> wanted
    Now u show one movie Bhai has lower virdict than srk still bigger grosser than that movie.

  • @Tiger keep it up dude. Aapne to joker boy fans ko sharminda kar diya. After all aukaat kya hai joker boy ki? Multistarrers movies with big franchise earning less than prequel. Lol . That is the stardom of flopshay kumar.

  • @unmachable makki:

    Idhar udhar ki baatein sodd. Let’s compare their whole career briefly. Sab doodh ka doodh aur paani ka paani ho jayega!!!!

    HGOTY:
    Bhai- 9
    Akki- ZERO (lol)

    ATBB:
    Bhai- 4
    Akki- again ZERO

    Blockbusters+:
    Bhai- 12
    Akki- 2

    HGOTD:
    Bhai- 2
    Akki- jisse 1 HGOTY & 1 ATBB nahi ban sakta wo kya khak HGOTD dega.!!!

    ATHG:
    Bhai- HAHK
    Akki- jisse 1 HGOTY nahi banta usse ATHG ummid bemani hain.!!!

    300cr grosser:
    Bhai: bajrangi bhaijaan.
    Akki- isse toh 150cr bhi par nahi hota!!!

    200cr+ grossers:
    Bhai- 3
    Akki- pehle 135cr hi par kar le…LOL.

    100cr grossers:
    Bhai- 9
    Akki- 5.

    Average per movie:
    Bhai- 36.3cr
    Akki- 27cr.

    Clean hits:
    Bhai- 27
    Akki- 21

    Flops:
    Bhai- 25
    Akki- 40+

    Disasters-
    Bhai- 3
    Akki- 13.

    An open challenge to all jokertards, Maine Jo bhi likha hain usme se ek bhi fact ko galat savit karke batau I will accept that Akki is bigger star than Ranbir, Ranveer, Kangna etc.

    ###Data- according to #indicine.

  • @sht:

    Actually Bhai has large scale blockbuster compare to srk’s blockbuster. Srk’s many movies are hit which would be called average for Bhai.Eg- Jai Ho collected much more than don 2 & jthj. But Jai Ho is considered average grosser but don 2 & jthj are hits.
    Similarly Kick collected much more than CE. But CE is considered a ATBB but Kick is just a blockbuster.

    More examples….
    HAHK>>>> ddlj & kkhh.
    Ready (Bhai’s smallest blockbuster)>>>> OSO, rnbdj etc.
    ETT>>>>Dilwale.
    Kick>>>> ce, hny.
    Jai Ho>>>> don 2, jthj, fan etc.

    P.S- haven’t even included Bajrangi Bhaijaan. Phir bhi ye halat hai duniya ka sabse bada superstar ka…hahaha.

  • hahHa that @ Sht comparing 2015’s movies with 4/5 years old movie..I know there is so much shit in your brain if we go by your logic every flop movie of akki earns more now than srk’s before 2011’s blockbusters(RNBJ,CDI,OSO,….)

  • @ Tamed Tigress,

    Neechey baith jaa, Udd mat…

    Could You please share the records behna made without Eid?

    Ye records Eid ke hai, Eid Made Star naam aise hi nahi diya Iss Non Actor ko…

    Akki deals big and the records he maintains is…

    First 1000 Crores, First 2000 Crores, First 3000 Crores and 4000, 5000, 6000 Crores will be made by Akki Bhai only…

    Collections and HGOTY chhod, Ek bachcha bhi bata dega ki, Saal mein 4 films aur saal mein ek Eid walo film karne se kitna farq padta hai…

    If Salmoron knows acting or his performance is truly appreciable then show us breaking record of IMDb Rating for Airlift Movie…

    Aage se geeli aur pichhe se peeli ho jaayegi…

    Records Records bolna band kar, Without Eid movies ki baat 3rd time kar raha hu, Abhi dekh lete hai, Munna…

    Aur haan, You all Lallu Fans can feel proud for the record of behna which is just next to unbreakable…

    Marigold Movie, The Epic Blockbuster of behna…

    Hahahahahahahaha, ROFL…

  • @unmachable makki:

    Hahaha…Still blabbering on bhai’s eid releases!!! Answer to a few questions….

    Is anyone stoping your jokerboy to release his movies on Eid???

    If Eid guarantees for blockbusters WTH your jokerboy is not releasing his Rustam on Eid rather than independence day weekend???

    Yes, your jokerboy yet to release a movie on Eid. But he releases his movies on other big holidays like Christmas, Deewali, independence day, Gandhi jayanti etc. Look at the track record…
    Xmas- 60cr (tmk).
    Deewali- 25cr (AR).
    Independence day- 60cr-80cr (OUATIMD, brothers etc).
    Gandhi jayanti- 80cr (SIB).

    At first let your star to surpass 150cr and establish himself in the same league Kangna. Then compare him with newcomers like Ranbir, Ranveer etc..

  • @ Tamed Tigress,

    Yes Dear, As I said it earlier to You that this Non Actor has given us to keep our words that WHY THIS NON ACTOR RELEASES HIS MOVIES ON EID?
    We all know the answer, COZ, HE DOES NOT HAVE THE BALLS…
    He cannot forget the result of Jai Ho when he tried once to check his stardom, ROFL…

    Akki is like lion of the jungle he is not bounded like other small animal are i.e. wolf, dogs, etc.
    He is free to release his movies whenever he wants, He is not dependent on Eid, ROFL Hahahahahahahaha…

    Don’t worry, Nobody is going to break Your Behna’s Mariegold record, It will remain safe till the earth destruction, ROFL…

    Do You know the budget of 2.0?
    The budget is what Your Behna is trying and getting failed to achive the number…
    350 Crores…

    Think, The figure which Your behna wants to achieve is only budget of Akki Bhai’s film, Too much fun…!!!

    I can read your mind now, You are thinking how it’s Akki’s movie?
    Right?

    Moron, Go and check on Google, Akki has charged mare than Rajini Sir for this movie and Rajini Sir charges 80 Crores…
    Then only actor after Jackie Chan in Asia…

    Bhai, Breathe easy…

    Sun Bey Lapadjhhandus, Tu sirf bhonkta hai, Par Akki And Team, Jo boltey hai wo karke dikhate hai…

    Records dikhane ka babut shaukh hai na Tujhhe?

    Do some more work and fetch the details when Behna did not release his movie on Eid… ROFL…

    Eid made star to seena thhok ke bolenge, Coz, Wahi hai Wo…

    Ek last baat aur…

    Akki’s is going to make another record by giving 3rd 100 movie in a year with Rustom…

    3 constantly 100 Crores films that also on Non Holiday, That also in ONE YEAR…

    Salman 10 baar janam bhi lega na, Nahi todd payega ye record…

  • @unmatchable makki:

    Hahaha… Still blabbering on Bhai’s Eid releases! But how could you have forgotten that it’s Bhai who makes Eid is a lucrative release period. Until 2009 there was no concept of Eid release. If your jokerboy is such a huge Megastar why don’t you tell to make another lucrative release period and releases his movies???

    Yes he is free to release his movies whenever he wants but can’t dare to release them in Eid. What a lion!!!

    Hahahahaha…now 2.0 bcm a jokerboy movie!!! Arre munni he is playing the villain’s role just like Danny played in Robot. If 2.0 is a Akki movie then Prem chopra & Amrish puri are the biggest MEGASTARS of the country. Because both of them have given more than 100 clean hits, 20 blockbusters… ROFL.

    Rustam not gonna collect even 60cr nett and you are dreaming of 100cr!!! Aftet Rustam release he will be in his real place I.e 60cr club’s kingdom…LOL.
