According to UTV Motion Pictures, Chennai Express has collected Rs 33.12 crore on its opening day at the domestic box office. The Shahrukh Khan starrer has smashed all previous box-office records including the opening day (and highest single day business) record set by Ek Tha Tiger last year during Eid.
The film has collected close to Rs 40 crore, including paid previews on Thursday.
Today (Saturday) is a holiday in most parts of the country, so the drop is unlikely to be as huge as Ek Tha Tiger, which collected Rs 14.52 crore on Day 2 – a drop of 55% from its record opening day.
We expect Chennai Express to collect around Rs 85 crore in its first weekend. The SRK – Deepika Padukone film also has a reasonably good chance to be the fastest film to 100 crore.

I am happier than SRK
This is huge news. Congrats to the team of Chennai Express, and to SRK, who’s stardom we can’t overestimate.
But, we must point out, CE had more prints released in the India market, plus, ticket prices were much higher than Ek Tha Tiger. And to me, it just barely beat Ek Tha Tiger record. Or did it? I would like to see the breakdown of those collections, territory-wise.
And I love how SRK fans are already making him the biggest star ever in Bollywood history, CORRECTION, the biggest star ever in Bollywood is AMITABH BACHCHAN!
Now run salman fans, before someone steps on you and crushes like a bug on this chennai express riot!
@sumit suman hey wt’s ur prob’. . . Indicine has already stated that ce has collected 33.12 cr on friday without paid preview. . If u add paid preview it goes around 40.cr . . So take ur mathematics nd’ rest. . Ce is on a roll. . @indicine can u plz clear his doubt ?
#sumit suman
get ur fact right
its 33.12+6.75= 39.87 cr.
Eventually
Navin,Sachin11,r20,boss,kingkumar vanished from Indicine :-P
ok ok ok.. opning day record tod diya congrats..
@ indicine: Yeah, that’s right. But when the twitter reviews are very positive, personally I feel most of those movies were liked by the audience too. Don’t know. I might be wrong. But just for the sake of interest I would have liked if you could post some of them.
@Anupama, celeb reviews for Ra One, Kites and even Himmatwala were all positive!
This just proves the point that salman was ruling only Booz he was doing out n out masala movies.
Now Srk has shown his might with CE..
Soon it will be HR with krrish 3
N then aamir with D3
Tiger will be crushed again n again
Hawa mien mahal banane ka result !!!!!
gud but real test is on monday hope for the best
Now a days each actor is breaking records of each other. I am dam sure collections by BOI are going to be less than 30cr. Dunno y peoples didnt like this movie it is better than other masaala.
King is back with bang and it’s prove if my film is solw realised i also earnd it bcoz srk movies realise with always other big movies competition
Breaking the record of 3Idiots looks dificult. but it will definately earn more than 190 cr life time in India. Satellite rights are already sold to 47 Cr & Overseas collections will be around 14m -15m. So world wide gross of ETT is going to get break.
@krishna forget about price and screen everything happened in competition it’s not cheating it’s a business policy
Hi friends, truly tell me, is the picture worth a watch, then I shall go to watch the film along with my family on Sunday. If it is a regular masala flick, then I will skip it.
bhai 33.2 paid previw le kar hua he confirmed news…..actual collection 26 cr
I wanna see what boxofficeindia.com gives the figure.
krishh3 trailer cross 7million view within 5days…til now jthj hold the record of lifetime view 8 million….ab to kuch sharam kar
@indicine team plz tell us early estimate of second day
Guys it is 100 % sure that 33 crs is impossible for SRK movie as it is just initial figures that from one production house.so wait until boxofficeindia gives it real collection and don’t forget ETT had 35 crs as initial report.
The king of bo is back
all records are in danger
Hahaha srk fans was over excited now, ce broke record marginally while ett broke record with huge margin with 10 cr more than what agneepath did, i think srkians forgot that srk movie opened always huge barring jthj due to clash of sos, ra one get 23.5 cr on 2nd day record, and don 2 with 15 cr non holiday opening record so its not a big deal, even hr broken bodyguard opening record on national holiday so is it big deal, what is the big thing how srk movie collected in lifetime, salman ett wom was negative when compared to ce but still collected 186 cr, while ce wom better than ett so lets see how it collect in lifetime but i think my predicted 160 cr target will achieved easily by ce, and don’t compare with salman because ce vibe still below ett.
Sachin11, Navin where r u now?
& all those who were saying that it will collect 11-12 cr on 1st day?
