Salman Khan is arguably the biggest superstar in India and the festive weekend of Eid has over the year been dominated by his film releases.
It all started with Prabhu Deva’s ‘Wanted’ back in 2009, when Salman was going through the worst phase of his career. The film didn’t do well at multiplexes, but brought back his audience in smaller towns. ‘Wanted’ was a massive hit at single-screens.
A year later, ‘Dabangg’ turned to be a turning point in his career as the film not only broken the opening records of Aamir Khan’s acclaimed film ‘3 Idiots’, but also went on to be one of the most loved Salman Khan films. It was also the first Salman film in a long time to do well at multiplexes.
Since then, Salman has been unstoppable, at single-screens, multiplexes, cities, towns, villages, everywhere! ‘Bodyguard’ smashed the opening records of ‘Dabangg’ by a huge margin and was the first film to collect Rs 20 crore on a single day.
Then came ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, which trounced the opening day record of all previous films and became the first to collect Rs 30 crore or more on a single day.
2013 was the only year in the last 7 years that didn’t have a Salman Khan film during Eid and his good-friend Shahrukh made the most of it with Rohit Shetty’s Chennai Express becoming the highest grossing film of all time.
Despite Salman’s super-stardom in recent years, the one record that he hasn’t been able to conquer is the record for the highest Hindi grosser of all time. The same team of his latest release ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ came very close to breaking the record of 3 Idiots, but fell short by just 3 crore. This time around, the target is yet another Rajkumar Hirani classic which grossed Rs 340 crore in India last year.
For Salman and his ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ team, it would take an extraordinary film, carrying incredible word-of-mouth to get close to ‘PK’. But with films like ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns’, on limited screens and cheaper ticket prices, grossing 150 crore, the ‘PK’ record is not completely out of reach. All that a big film like ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ needs is to strike a chord with the audience.
The pre-release reports of ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ are excellent and if the film exceeds expectations, it has every chance of topping ‘PK’.
Check out the history of Eid releases in the last few years. Every Salman Khan Eid film, except Wanted, has become a blockbuster or better. Will history repeat itself this Eid?
| Movie | Screens | Opening Day | Lifetime | Verdict |
| Wanted (2009) | 1400 | 5.2 cr | 61 cr | Super Hit |
| Dabangg (2010) | 1900 | 15.1 cr* | 143 cr | All Time Blockbuster |
| Bodyguard (2011) | 2800 | 21.4 cr* | 145 cr | Blockbuster |
| Ek Tha Tiger (2012) | 3400 | 32.9 cr* | 199 cr | Blockbuster |

@ I am akn
tell me a movie of srk after rnbdj which is having a good word of mouth.and the latest realase hny is just a torture to srk fans too.and even ce didn’t have any chartbuster or extraordinary track but collected huge due Rohit and deepika and salman’s movies depend solely on samlan soldiers and didn’t talk About talk about current scenarios only.as when salman give his first atbb srk is still doing serial like army and circus.
* didn’t talk about history talk about current scenario only
But the same biggest superstar couldn’t give a proper hit twice on republic day without eid, Christmas and summer holidays. Ex. Veer and jai ho. ????
The same biggest superstar gave 2 disasters on republic days. Veer and jai ho. What a shame. ????????
@ Eric Salman has very good support from Amir fan . Amir is larger than life hero . His films are very unique , his acting , sense of script choice . This 2015 is very harmful for Bollywood his absense & quality missed this year . Love u Amir Sir from Akki fan .
maximum it will reach to dhoom-3 collection if the movie is loved. But the movie will earn above 170 crore even in the worst scenerio. If the movie crossed dhoom -3 collection than it can be said that it is equal/bigger hit than pk bcas eid fall either on sunday or saturday and after that there is no holiday for a movie. If you agree with me than give me upvote or some sensible user can explain if i am wrong.
@indicine where is the list of worldwide and overseas ranking of an actor?
Salman khan’s movie and EID goes together.
@nipun I am wondering what you thought about Krrish 3’s 3rd class songs. They were outdated, boring and unlistenable.
@sss Your sarook is nothing without yashraj and dharma. He cannot cross even 125 cr without Deepika ROFL.
Bajrangi Bhaijaan = 300 crore
Dilwale = 150 crore
Salman gave ATBBs like HAHK and MPK withiyt any cameo. Nut Srk needed Salman to give ATBB KKHH, which benefit
BB First weekend 80 crore total collection 185 to 195 verdit HIT .
@marshall,of film’s budget is around 110cr and your film’s collection is 117cr,then film will not be called hit.jai ho is a disaster because your lalman has no star power even getting Republic holiday release and earned less than KING KHAN’S FEBRUARY RELEASE MNIK’S WW collection.and WE too know your bhai’s aukat with out talented south remake,Talented Katrina,Jacquelene and masala genre.if so,then your bhau’s 120cr ready is a blockbuster while KING KHAN’S 205 CR HNY is just super hit.kyun aukat dikh gayi kya?????
You don’t worry about KING KHANWAALE/DILWALE because the right you got on your face when you watch the film.Rishji,sunny,salman,BIGB,hrithik,saif all were overshadowed in KING KHAN’S film,so you please don’t take much tension ,KING KHAN soon will show the aukat if Varun in that film.but What about NEIL ,he’ll completely can overshadow salman who is a non actor and don’t how to act????? there was a disaster film called yuvraj,in which our bhau even overshadowed by Zayed khan.so beta ,even in recent interview salman directly said if CLASH happens then he’ll face loss against KING KHAN.see OUR KING how entered into salman’s home EID and enconutered him so I think sultan will not come next EID,if come then we’ll again make what happened during DON VS jaaneman.
@jay,it’s your lalman who is depending upon KING KHAN’S MADE YRF,while OUR KING KHAN already gave 2-200CR FILM in HIS OWN banner.about big heroines ,yes your bhau used Katrina,Jacquelene to get hit.while OUR KING ‘s name is enough to give 200CR.and your poor bhau is also chasing CE,HNY’S WW collection.tell hims to crosss the barrier you south remake star’s fan then you’ll face THE GLOBAL MEGASTAR KING KHAN.
@nilesh,so want even your bhau did wsouth remake like there naam,jai he all flopped big time with out big heroine,that’s what our bhojpuri bhai’s 2rs aukat.and don’t forget in last decade,how your 2rs bhojpuri star struggled to get a hit during his disaster decade,when I’m thinking that I can’t control my laugh,so 2010 born star’s fan please understand who is THE BAAP(KING KHAN) of your star WHO RULED all decades successively that also with out south remake/masla genre,jab aukat ki baat hoti hai WE SRKIANS ways showed you 2rs bhojpuri’s capabilities,so don’t jump much.
bb’s song flopped big time and will the jail ho-2,ROFL.while Neil nitin bhai bachao will be a disaster due to it’s outdated genre and after that bhau will come back to his famous pre-2010 disaster era,ROFL.
Grow up Bhojpurians. What’s wrong if I didn’t like a track? Who are you to force me to like it? Not just me, all the genuine people around here also feel the same around me. Ofcourse, I didn’t like K3’s tracks. But what’s d point of bringing them here?
@sss, please do me a favour and don’t reply me.i can’t make anything out of your ‘comment’.it looks even worse than the dance performances in hny.
@navin,you named recently as @chameleon dadaji by our @kshitiz ka thullu due to your hypocrisy about jodha Akbar.so chameleon dadaji,these type of jokes like aaji ki party lallu/bhojpuri ki yaraf se becomes so old,try with some new jokes,looks like your humour becomes kachra now a days,ROFL.
@lalman da fan,2rs stardom of our bhai struggled to get a hit in last decade with out any mtistarrer film.your bhau has flop with a heroines and DEEPIKA also straightly denied to work with your lalman because of his lallu looks and mainly due to his non acting after all SHE is an SRKIANS like US.OUR KING KHAN launched HER and made HER biggest heroine of Bollywood,so WE’RE deserving to take credit fully from Her unlike your south copy paste star as well as greedy perfaketionist,ROFL.BTW KING KHAN already smashed ready’s collection(122cr) with HIS RA ONE(125CR).so baby don’t cry ,ROFL.about wom,CE has better word of mouth then all lalman films.and your lalman is nothing with out south remake,KING KHAN’S MADE YRF,KATRINA,JACQUELENE,ASIN like big names ,with out them your lallulal is a disaster decade star like from 2000-2009,shame on decade disaster losers salmir and his fans,ROFL.all RA ONE TO HNY all film’s track us Bette Ethan your laalman’s roadside tapori songs,got that?????even if your lalman got entry in Bollywood due to his papa still KING KHAN betqed them in qhole career and bexomes THE KING OF BOLLYWOOD with out the help of any filmy papa.otheewise your lalman would be a rikshawala now if wouldn’t have a filmy papa,so don’t insult your talentless non actor papa’s boy anymore,ROFL.
@with out south remake,bhojpuri masala genre,KING KHAN’S MADE YRF,KATRINA,JACQUELENE,ASIN your bhai is a decade disaster loser.even if getting help of so many your bhau is still chasing CE,HNY’S WW collection.how pity?????ha ha ha ha WE’RE not making any predictions,keep predicting like that because bhojpuri films can’t make/break any record rather only can do hardly 200cr if not then chase epic disaster jail ho,ROFL.that’s the aukat of bhojpuris,ROFL.
Your bhau has 3 failures in EID,whole OUR KING has no failure in any HOLIDAYS.bb becomes another disaster like jail ho.
The clash between Salman Khan starrer ‘Sultan’ and Shahrukh Khan starrer ‘Raees’ has been the talk of the town. When recently, Salman was asked about it, he said that he has to worry about the clash and not SRK.
Salman said, “I have released two films with Shahrukh – ‘Jaaneman’ opposite ‘Don’ and ‘Saawariya’ against ‘Om Shaanti Om’ and both didn’t do well. In fact, with both the films his track record is 100%. So he has got nothing to worry about. If there is anyone who needs to worry, then it is me.”
@nipun Grow up Jadoopurian moron. Whats your problem if I disliked K3 songs? They were crap , neither chartbusters nor listenable, some of the worst songs ever created. You mentioned BB songs so I reminded you of K3 songs.
Salman’s Wanted is best for me, I have seen that film many times even more than Dabangg. Than comes Dabamgg, where wanted was whole a better film than Dabamgg for me, but performance wise Chulbul pandey is at top.
I also loved him in ETT, the movie was preety average but action scenes were great.
bodyguard was a poor film and kick is decent.
Salman on EID is giving his career highest grosser each time except wanted. So Bajrangi Bhaijaan will all probablity collect more than kick -213 cr. I think 250 is on cards. To come close d3 is possible and I don’t think pk record can break this year.
@Sss Without Deepika your Srk is still chasing Ready.
Our Salman gave 6 blockbuters out of 7 films,
your Srk gave 1 blockbuster out of 6 films. LOL
Next Eid Salman will thrash your puny Srk, wait for your upcoming disasters Raees and Fan. The result will be like
Sultan = 250 crore
Raees = 80 crore ROFL
Irony is that when you read complan boy name & scrolling down you see that this idiots writing long essay to reply to 10-15 persons for their comment. What a stupid jerk he is. Too long illogical comments and I read @gj007 comment reply to @sss about his job status. Is complan boy ko job kisne di. Whole days he is busy for writing long essays.lol.
@ sss
deepika always wanted to work with salman who says u that he don’t wanna work with our bhai.ra1 collected 112 crore correct urs figure first then post comments here.
how much ur fake king collected before CE ( a masala genre film) answer is 112 cr.
and by the way if jaiho collected 107 is disaster due to fact that its buggegt is 100 crore then what u say about ra1 whose budget is around 120 crore and collected just 112.I think it is epic disaster haha
@ sss
Srk make Katrina jacline, asin biggest joke of decade and srk track record is better than salman another joke see previous salman 7 films 6 out of it was blockbuster which urs srk never gonna achieve in his carrier
@Jay HUHU Remake king ROXX kya??? Salman is nothing at front of Megastar SRK. BB has no buzz. I’m sure it is going to be another crap movie of Salman. HUHUHU……..
@salman ka fan
Ok we accept that srk 3 movies failed to cross ready but that is only domestic worldwide is a different story.Now the side of picture has changed and your bhai failed to cross 422cr worldwide of CE with 2 releases and looking at the trend he will not be able to cross this barrier this year.If bhai come with DP and Rohit Shetty even then he cant cross 422cr…
@Bhojpurians
Why you are trying hard to convince @nipun that BB songs are good.Well apart from samlan fans very few people liked the album.
@JS
Bhogpuri damagh ha ap ka…When you said that srk cant cross 125 crs without DP.then how the hell will dilwale will collect 150cr…Be consistent with your logic…But the point is your Bhai cant cross 422 crs of CE even the movie will be produced by DHARMA and distribute by YRF and stars DP with him….
400cr ki aukat nai aut batein dekho poor bhaitards ki
@JS
And why will DP work with BHAO???She knows how pathetic BHAO acting is..These are new,poor or struggling herions who are willing to work with BHAO..Jacquline was average actor and struggling.Daisy shah was both poor and new..Kareena is struggling these days…Katreena was always a bad in acting….Ah Sonakshi b ap k samne ha…Point is no herion who knows to act and a stable place will destroy her career with Bhojpuri Bhaijan
