@romance express you should change your id name ‘romance express’ to ‘new year romance’.
fine movie
superb movie,loved to watch.now dont loose your throne SRK….
@IMAM & Congratulation to u too.
srk ne ce mein bahut acha acting kia hai,dialouge delivery was mindblowing,comic timing was excellent.overall this is a complete family entertainer.don’t underestimate the power of a common man.if ce gets 2 or 3 open weeks it may collect over 300 cr.on 3rd week ce got 950-1000 screens.friday collection is 2.12 cr.saturday 3cr estimate sunday 4 cr.
@ehinome okojie where is DDLJ 1995
and CE 2013 not 2012
@CErocks : why are you taking everything against srk? he himself acknowledge that records are meant to be broken. I can also ask the same what happened to srk stardom or power during 150 or 170 cr magnum opus Ra.One ? no doubt about srk capability but he has to outdo CE numbers with HNY to prove it like Salman has been doing since last years. We will come to know whether it was solely his power or other factors along his stardom which contributed to CE huge success !!!
srk fans : its your moment enjoy it rather abusing Salman or Aamir. They have prove themselves like srk. But I agree srk has been most consistent among three khans.
#hrithik
thanx bro! Ur my fav compititor too ;)
@indicine team for what reason you said that srk got the top spot again my query is due to.
1. its first time srk having highest grosser of all time if we consider your all time blockbuster list. so when was he is ont the top of the list
2. if worldwide its not broken record of 3Idiots 392cr yet might will break if one consider official figure but not yet, so again tell when srk having highest worldwide grosser if one follow highest grosser list.
3. in overseas srk is no. 1 and wasn’t no. 2 any time so still your post doesn’t make a sense though overseas highest grosser is 3 Idiots with 25 million $ while ce still has 17 million $ officially so no chance to break that record. here income earned in crores more due to regurler decreasing worth of rupee in Dollar.
according to worldwide top grosser list.
srk having 5 movies including CE but only ce having 2nd sopt while rest on the 7th,8th,9th,10th similarly top 10 domestic collection wise srk having 1 movie on top.
so srk on top again doesn’t make a sense though you should say srk gained top spot if consider domestic collection.
@romance whatever on my last page i talked abt when srk having highest grosser of all time not a particular year for your kind info srk has not 3 you mentioned he has 5 movie , if we count highest grosser in a year you forgot to mention DDLJ & KKHH both were highest grosser of that year not of all time…
i mean to say srk having 5 movie which were highest grosser of that year
ddlj,kkhh,devdas,veer zaara,OSO
@damnnnn when rnbdj crossed dhoom 2 figure first time, it was ghajini who broke dhoom 2 record at that time. ghajini 2 week collection was 90 cr while that time rnbdj completed 4 week and had collection of 77-78 cr just check and first clear your fact, yaa in lifetime collection rab ne surpassed dhoom2 collection but it was ghajini first who break that record……
so ce is the first srk movie who become highest grosser of all time….
earning money is not the only parameter, ce is really a maja bakwas movie. ..It can’t be compared with 3 idiots. ..and also if inflation is adjusted 3 idiots will be still at the top spot. ..at the time of 3 idiots 1$=39 ? now 1$= 63? …so u can’t compare anyways. ..
BLOCKBUSTER= COMEDY+ROMANCE+ACTION+EMOTIONAL=CHENNAI EXPRESS
We’ll waiting for Dhoom3.
But, I hope Dhoom 3 cannot beat Chennai Express.
Chennai Express are running with Clash(1st Week OUATIMD), (2nd week Madras cafe), (3rd Week satyagraha).
So, don’t compare any movie with Chennai Express!
KING has no fear about Clashing,
But, Salman, Aamir have fear about Clash!
If there are clash and movie was running solo, Lifetime Collection will 300 crore (seeing the speed of the express).
So, Don’t underestimate the power of a common man, I mean KING KHAN!!
yes chennai express records will stay still the world ends! SRK fans dont want bollywood to grow bussiness wise right? dhoom-2 crossed gadar life time before crossed by ghajini and thn 3 idiots now chennai exp! Selfish fans selfish aims
listen everybody.. srk fans have claimed no one can break CE record.. they say K3 n D3 will fizzle out.. just one big blockbuster n they r back makin bogus claims.. this is the reason u guys face humiliation from all quaters.. where were u n ur self proclaimed king when aamir made the 200 crore club 4 years back!!! plz do be present when dhoom 3 releases.. this time aamir is gonna raise the bar higher
Guys what is the collection of talaash according to boi taran
srk fans say that CE is better than 3idiots.. they say CE is a masterpiece.. well god save their taste!

@srk fans- if srk can deliver 200 crore film when his last highest grossing film was 115 crores(ra.one) then dont u think salman khan also deliver even bigger hit film than CE when his last highest grossing film was 199.6 crores(ett).. just apply ur brains if u have any :P
srk proved again that he is the no.1 superstar in bollywood industry. Love u srk.
Hi,,, I m a big SRK fan, don’t underestimate the power of a common man…! SRK is SRK, not Amir or Salman, who can’t break the record of 3idiots as far as huge number of movies are concern. So cheers SRKians…! HISTORICAL MOMENTS For all SRK fans.
chennai express lifetime colletion will be over 250 as weekend collection will be 15-20 crore srk rocks
@aks no1 rank decide on the basis of last 5 films.
You are rite aamir 3i col 25mm but his last 5 films overseas record less than srk, salman, ranbir. 3i col 202cr but amir last 5films domestic record behind salman, srk ,ranbir and akki.
So top3 star in wordwide n oversease acc to boi after aug2013
1 srk
2 salman
3 ranbir
in domestic
1 salman along with
srk after ce.
2 ranbir
3 akshay
amir and hritic is out of top3 and one fool can think k3 or d3 break ce or yjhd record. Remember franchise is the key of hype and record breaking opening not for the record breaking lifetime col, mind it.
now when Chennai express has finally attained the coveted record of highest grossing movie in India. and obviously we SRKians r happy to the core and rejoicing.
suddenly SALMAN fans have started to comment Ki they were rejoicing from past 4 years and we SRKians have got this just now.
BUT I was just wondering WY were they rejoicing last 4 years. what did they have to rejoice.
ETT nor DABBANG 2 broke 3 idiots record. lol. guess these illiterates r happy with the tag being second. lol. good for u people
but as they say we support king and that’s WY we aim for first and get the first.
SRK is the king KHAN
@remotecontrol. awesome words Bro
@gewone. really loved the point when u mentioned that money and records don’t appeal to us as it does to these morons. so it was a slap on them. well said Bro.
