The world television premiere of Salman Khan’s Sultan will take place tonight – 8PM Indian Standard Time on Sony Max. The year hasn’t been great as far as television premieres are concerned, with Varun Dhawan’s Dishoom topping the list of 2016 releases, followed by Housefull 3. No films has managed to cross the 1 crore mark this year.
While Dishoom will be easily surpassed, the record that Salman hopes to beat will be the viewership record that ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’ set earlier this year.
The number to beat will be 2.51 crore (BARC Rating), but competing channels are well aware of the fact that it’s only Salman who can compete with himself.
Zee Cinema will be airing Salman’s ‘Hum Aapke Hain Kaun’ at 8PM tonight, setting up a television-clash with ’Sultan’. The target audience will be those at rural towns, especially in the North, where Sooraj Barjatya films command a huge following.
We also have Star Gold’s trump card ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ which will be aired at 9PM, after hour after ‘Sultan’ begins.
It’s going to be Salman Khan across all major Hindi movie channels tonight. While one channel targets record television viewership, its rivals have made some smart choice as far as picking some of their most popular films to compete against ‘Sultan’.
The viewership numbers will be out during the Diwali weekend. Stay tuned to Indicine.

Simple thing to do is during advertisement of sultan, watch bajrangi or hahk… Give priority to wtp of Sultan as others two r already blockbuster during theirs wtp.
Salman vs salman… Others r not even not close now… Hail the king people!!! We got the biggest star.
@Romance Hai Mushkil; Bro the funny thing you don’t want to watch Salman movie but at the end you are watching Salman movie…..And that crap movie is winning the heart all over the world and recently wins several heart in BIFF also, except few Salman haters (majorly Srk fans), but in deep down they also know that Sultan is another Masterpiece from Salman Khan……And Srk can only dream of doing such kind of movie, because Chusa Hua Aaam ki tarah Sakal aur Haddiyo ke Dhache jese body hai uski……
In Top 10 Highest TRP Movies, Salman has 4 movies and Sultan will be his 5th movies….
Jag Ghoomeya, What a Song Yaar, this video song always makes me cry…….
Hatts Off to Salman for the Phenomenal Performance…..
@indicine we are waiting combine trp of all 3 movies at a time. Pl update if possible.
I’m typing here while watching sultan !!!

Hahaha… It’s Salman vs Salman all the way. Bcz everybody knows…Salman ko sirf ek hi aadmi hara sakta hai….wo hai Salman khud.
@kick puttar
LOL.
@romace dhakkan
Wasn’t Bajrangi Bhaijaan a crap/ Jai Ho 2 for you until SULTAN release? Now how does suddenly Bajrangi Bhaijaan bcm a classic???
Only Sultan can defeat Sultan! And the one that can defeat Salman is Salman himself!
Wah re wah! The megastar!!
Stardom is easily said on TV viewership.
1. Salman Prdp
2. Salman BB
3. Aamir 3idiots
4. Salman Bodyguard
5. Srk Chennai exp
6. Salman Dabbang not franchise
7. Ajay Singham not franchisee
8. Aamir Ghajni
9. Aamir PK
10.Srk Ra1.
*Ironically all the said Superstars all have a record 30cr plus opening to back their Stardom.
* Unfortunately only mega opening movies Ett and dhoom 3 do not fall in that list showing how tough the competition is to even break into top 10. By end of the month it will be
Salman 5
Aamir 3
Ajay 1
Srk 1
Because Sultan will displace Ra1.
Looking at top 20 here are the superstars total.
*8 Salman,, Sultan prdp bb bodyguard dabbang dabbang 2 kick Ett
*3 Aamir ,,3 idiots ghajni Pk
* 3 Ajay ,, Singham Bol bachn SoS
*2 Srk,, Chennai express Ra 1
*These are ranked based on Cumulative total from Ascending to descending orders.
* Remaining TPR in top 20 are shared between Hrithik Paresh Rawal and Gobar Kumar.
Bottom line the Khans are still running the industry.
Happy for Salman…after seeing so much career low graph in last decade…he is unstopable in this decade so dar…
Sultan
@Satyajit : You nailed it bro !!!!!! Superb comment. ??
Agree with @the beast…Yesterday My family watched Sultan they didn’t like it that much.. but they didn’t miss a single dialogues of Prdp..
