Sultan is the first blockbuster of 2016, as the film is on a historic, record-smashing run at the box office. The film is achieving never-before-seen levels of business at the domestic box office. The Saturday collections of Sultan will be its best day and the film is set to cross the 37-38 crore mark on Saturday – making it the best non-holiday single day of all time.
Multiplexes went berserk on Saturday, with some growing by 20-25%. From North to South, East to West, the multiplex business of Sultan was at record levels. The positive sign was, the family audience who were coming out in big numbers to watch the film.
At some centres that we tracked, the 4th day of Sultan was better than the first day collections of films like Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Happy New Year and Dhoom 3.
What’s even more incredible is this stat – the 4th ‘working day’ collections of Sultan is higher than the 2nd day ‘Eid holiday’ collections of Bajrangi Bhaijaan – which collected 36.60 crore. Since we maintain a database of collections at various centres, the 4th day of Sultan was also higher the 3rd day (Sunday) collections of PK – which collected 38.24 crore.

Salman Khan's #Sultan could make history today. Some centres are going crazy, recording best day of the week so far!

Sultan has collected a record-breaking 144 crore in its first 4 days at the box office. It’s the highest grosser of the year, pretty much destroying the records of every film that has released so far this year – including biggies like Airlift and Housefull 3. Sultan will also be the fastest to the 150 crore mark.
All eyes will now be on Sunday. The film is certain to record collections in excess of 40 crore on Sunday and even a 45 crore plus total is achievable.
We had earlier said in one of our QnA’s that it’s Salman Khan who is capable of pushing the upper limit when it comes to box office records and he’s done just that with his latest release. The worldwide gross of the film has crossed the 275 crore mark in just 4 days!
Sultan is a blockbuster.
Sultan Box Office Collections
- Wednesday – 36.54 crore
- Thursday – 37.3 crore
- Friday – 31.50 crore
- Saturday – 38 crore (Early estimate, final collections will be updated tomorrow)
- Total 4-days - 143.34 crore
In fact, the collections of Sultan are better than those of HNY in every centre since the day one except for the Centre of Red Chillies in Pluto. Unfortunately, you were unable to track that centre because of the high security as its officers were busy in multiplying BO figures using its then newly imported calculator from a certain jadoo land from jadoo land on not-yet-identified nearby planet.
There is one reason, SALMAN KHAN
unbelievable stuff!
if sultan holds good on Monday then it can cross 350+cr now. it is just amazing to see an film collect more on 4th day which is a non holiday than 2nd day which is a national holiday.
First weekend (5 days) will be 190cr
Cmon Sultan is rocking th BO big time
Okay, this is crazy. Amazing crazy!!!! Salman Bhai creating a new level of stardom that won’t be beaten ever I guess.
Khun me uske mitti, mitti me uske khun
Upar Allah, niche dharti bich me uska junoon.
Sultan Bhai rocks
If this was a wrestling match then the BoxOffice would tapout…!
Sultan is smashing ticket windows to pieces
Kar diya chadahi re sultan
salman destroyed all wanabe superstars including my favourite Akki, hats of to you man.
Monday test…?
Set new standards haters- 25cr will be reached without doubt now
Can you tell @indicine who will reach 3000 cr SALMAN bhai or Akshay Kumar first….? I love both just want to make sure who reaches first…and as of now how far are they…I believe it should be the close call…
With advanced bookings of 32 Crores for Sunday and as you claim, if Sultan earned 45 Crores (that too sincerely) tomorrow, then sab kingtards ki toh phad jayegi. They will all go nuts. I pray it doesn’t happen. Lol.
4 days collections of SULTAN are around 144cr. If the makers of the movie would have used Laal Mirch calculator then the collections would have been more than 170cr. Hats off to YRF for not using Laal Mirch calculator!!!
Incredible! An unbelievable collections.
It has strike the chord with the audiences at the perfect time as people are tired of watching the insane-masala flicks.
Now a great lesson for others that is; one needs some brains to choose any script.
Blockbuster verdict in four days! Just Wow we!
Holy cow!!!Was disappointed with first day collection,but the collection of Sultan is Bumper.Now Even the Haters would agree that Salman is not King of Bollywood But “GOD” of Bollywood,i know they wont agree here ,and will keep finding new exercises to satisfy themselves,but within their heart and mind,they’d agree to it..
Waaw…This is insane. Who would have thought it Sultan to do this craze?. MashaAllah..Well-done…Team Sultan. Weekend out with 200 cr india biz and 300 cr worldwide.
Peace…Abdoel.
I’m a Bangladeshi, Bollywood movies don’t screen here, so, as a b’town buff, somehow, I watched sultan yesterday, but it isn’t quench my thirst of watching it again and again. So I’ve been hanging out with it since yesterday. What a nobel film, what a message, what a inspiration. Everyone must watch it. it has potential to break pk record. Let’s rewrite new chapter. I love good films whoever cast in it.
This is insane….. Breathtaking seriously….
#Megastardom
Since SULTAN was declared haters have been calling it crap, gundey 2, mbkd 2, Marigold, non acting and blah blah blah. Now eager to know their view on its super succes. Will they call it now a Ali Abbas Jafar/Randeep Hooda movie (just like they did for Bajrangi Bhaijaan)??
Amazing
@Anand:
SULTAN not gonna touch 45cr mark on Sunday. Because YRF won’t use Laal Mirch calculator to count the collections. BTW, if YRF use Laal Mirch calculator even 60cr collections are possible!!!
Kudrat be banaya hoga fursat se tujhe mere yaar….love u Romeo bhaijaan
Stunned Speechless Satisfied
@12:59am Rohitnene
No I think those clowns are auditioning for roles in Gunday 2…!
Lol
@2:02am Tiger
Those clowns especially your Ghulam RatZone n his wife Complan Boy are ironically now gonna audition for a leading role in Gunday 2…!
haters seeing these posts and comments and burning like an engin’s exhaust gas
That means overseas collections are 80+ crores in just 4 days…
Rakeshji ‘s calculator by YRF now.wow even the collection on Saturday is greater than 2 CONSECUTIVE EID DAYS,ROFL.n ow the film must surpass 500cr in jadooland more than double of jadoo3,rofl.and of course box-officeIndia too associated with it.
@tiger-the real chuha,of course the film will remain a crap like all salman’s previous valueless blockbusters no doubt.as the IMDb rating now is 7.1 and likely to decrease even more.n ot even closer to bb which today also WE are saying.
Though it’s too amasala movie like CE which found appreciation audience then going ahead ,what’s big deal!!!!!while CE faced 3 big films,it’ll not face any film for 10 days.
Also you shouldn’t forget ‘raped woman’ controversy+using KING SRK’S NAME(AROUND 50CR I stated earlier)+YRF+Anushka+Randeep+2 EID+higher ticket price+higher screen count,and many more things helped.
Still bhai couldn’t break OPENING OF HNY which actually proves real stardom.this is trending collection which represents neutral audience’s appreciation,this is universal appeal entertainment value which has nothing to do with salman’s stardom,rofl.this is a some thing which can’t enter your mind,rofl.
The ‘SULTAN’ of Indian Cinema?
@indicine now its very much possiable to cross 350cr.re sultan
