Bajrangi Bhaijaan is plundering records at the domestic and overseas box office. The film has set the record for the highest 2nd Saturday and 2nd Sunday at the box office, beating the second weekend collections of Aamir Khan’s PK.
The PK record looked insurmountable in December last year, but the extraordinary word-of-mouth of Bajrangi Bhaijaan has proved yet again that super stardom combined with good content and universally appealing genre, is the golden formula for setting records at the box office.
Some other points:
- Salman Khan has firmly established himself as the biggest star in the country today. Pre-Eid, Heavy rains, Baahubali (a dubbed film that is carrying incredible word-of-mouth), media negativity due to court cases.. absolutely nothing has stopped the audience from coming out in big numbers to watch Bajrangi Bhaijaan in the first weekend itself. Without a record-breaking initial, it’s almost impossible for a film to collect 300 crore plus. When the footfalls are high in the first weekend itself, word-of-mouth spreads like wildfire, which brings more people to theatres. A lesser star, outside the Top 3, without a festive release, wouldn’t have done justice to a film like Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
- The biggest surprise though has come from the overseas business of Bajrangi Bhaijaan. The previous highest grossing Salman film overseas was Kick (Rs 70 crore). Bajrangi Bhaijaan is set to double that total by the end of its run and will be competing with Dhoom 3 for the 2nd highest overseas grosser, if and when it releases in other countries like China and Japan. With a film like Prem Ratan Dhan Payo lined up for release, overseas success couldn’t have come at a better time for Salman.
- The drop from first weekend to second weekend is just 45%. Assuming that the drops are around 50% during the weekdays, the film will end its 2nd week with net box office collections of 280-282 crore. That’s the amount Dhoom 3 collected in its entire run!
- The worldwide gross of Bajrangi Bhaijaan now stands at Rs 435 crore, which is higher than Chennai Express’s Rs 425 total (the third highest worldwide grosser). The film is certain to beat Dhoom 3’s Rs 540 crore total and could eventually get close to the 600 crore mark!
In short, Bajrangi Bhaijaan is yet another turning point in Salman Khan’s career. With the Kabir Khan directed film, the actor has taken giant leaps towards global superstardom.

RIP Chennai Express. Salman smashed it in 9 days itself.
Its a shame BB n PRDP are releasing in the same year… Both deserve the title of Biggest Hit of the Year n one will sadly miss out on being the Highest Grosser of all Time but PRDP will definitely imo go on to better PKs tally…!
@Yuvraj.. you are seriously pissing me off man.. One day you say that you don’t want negativity.. but every topic, even those that are unrelated, you talk about PK… what is the need?
@Indicine.. I request you to kindly delete these off topic comments..
340 crores is now possible, total will be 600 crores which is same to pk before its release in China!
@navin excellent reply to yuvraj.though both of u r salman fans but good to see u criticising pathetic comments from yuvraaj.keep it up uncle
Omg that’s awesome huge huge collection
domestic – 340 cr confirmed…
overseas – 150 cr

indicine, plz tell us, what are the reason that srk is the king of bollywood!
@sky
I cant say for others but I myself for 2 yrs have only been looking forward to 2 movies- PK n PRDP
I always said both would break n set records- what BB has done has left mealittle startled but having done what it has I can only imagine what PRDP will do if Sooraj ji gets the HAHK magic working again.
Too excited for this Diwali but also enjoying the current scenario immensely- happy for bhai jaan.
@3:30pm
Having 3.7 billion fans on Youtube helps….!
This is the stardom of salman khan…. Pk record in danger…..aur hater to mental hi hogaye…..sirf 9 din mein lungi express fatt gayi…… #ABKI BAAR LUNGI UTAR
@3:30pm
Having a media arm as long as Murdochs FOX empire too helps in building/ maintaining a brand…!
@3:30pm
Getting your friends in the media to alter the verdicts of your epic disasters like YLJK, Guddu, Oh Darling Yeh Hai Paglapur etc etc to below average grossers also helps in painting a manipulated pic of your career…!
Now indicine salman no 1..acc. to your article if bb collect 250 cr now salman get no 1 postion. ..plz fir se vo article ko update kiya jaye ki kisko kitne earn karne h..!!
BB collected 56cr+ on its 2nd weekend. But the so called king yet to touch these figures on a whole week with non festive releases…LOL.
very good to see navin criticising yuvraj,keep it up uncle,i love you.
PS – i want support from you for my flop youngistan brigade
111cr overseas collections within 10 days!!! That’s mean BB gonna collect over 140cr lifetim and thrash each & every king movies collections in overseas…
@ navin- if a movie gives wrong message to peoples so why don’t i criticize i wanna give my view to others. i wanna discuss about the movie understand, i like when he says where is stamp if you are different religion that make sense we all humans are come to the earth without any religion but bro religion is important because it is faith of thousands years. and every religion is acording to nature of particular place. what pk said beleive in who made all of us but who is that god? in my point of view we are from nature and my every part body, blood etc are made by nature. this is beleif of my hindu religion that every smallest particle is shankar – har kankar mein shankar hai. instead of showing his god pk should say respect your religion but don’t disrespect others religion. if you are angry on me leave nipun and target me.
@3:30pm
Having your best friends Kjo, Aditya n Juhi head up Dharma, YRF n Laal Mirchi so they could always invest in heavily overpromoting your crappy films when your career sinking after a crappy Billu Fan flopped or Ratoon made losses helps alot…!
@3:30pm
Pay tribute to icons like Rajni Sir by making a fool of yourself trying to look cool by doing the lungi dance whilst wearing sunglasses on a disco floor…!
@3:30pm
Try to overshadow Sachin at Wankhede by getting drink n cause a mass brawl by viciously getting your 1234 bodyguards attack one unarmed old buddha security guard…! Now cricket fans recognise you too…!
@3:30pm
Make a patriotic film like Crappy New Year…!
