Chennai Express has grossed Rs 326 crore in just 10 days since its worldwide theatrical release on 8th August, to become the fastest money-spinner of all time. The Shahrukh Khan starrer became only fourth film to cross the 300 crore worldwide mark, after 3 Idiots (385 crore), Ek Tha Tiger (330 crore) and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (310 crore).
Chennai Express will go past Ek Tha Tiger today, but the 385 crore set by Rajkumar Hirani’s 2009 classic could be beyond reach.

Noone go to be able to top 3idiots record For the last 4 years salman bhai, akki, ajay, hrithik all failed even amir bro who is dependent on good script only :D failed miserably with his last few releases talaash dhobi ghat etc all were average but finally king khan made it this shows the power of king khan so don’t underestimate the power of Shah Rukh Khan!!!

Rowdy rathore with 2800 screens around 4 CRORES (solo)

Chennai express 1400 screens 6.12 CRORES (competition with outidm)
and some illiterate retards want to argue with us about SRK.
Chennai Express 2nd Saturday Box Office Collection
Chennai Express collections increased due to several reasons. One of them is the negative reviews from the audience towards OUATIMD. The movie collected Rs. 10.5 cr on its second saturday.
Including second saturday collection of Chennai Express,the box office collection of the movie reaches Rs. 177 cr nett.
Great going Chennai Express oops Records Express! Hats of. To SRK for proving his detractors wrong with records express. More records are sure to be broken @the end of records express’s golden run @Boxoffice INSHA. ????? taala ameeen. SRK rulez like no one Before
Ce domestic= 212 cr overseas = 90 cr
@sachin11…where r u???? its ur old habit to make some non-sense comments, and when srk fans used to bash on u, then u hide urself like a coward…..just like ur coward sallu…..grow up …..!!!!!1
@indicine
where is Saturday`s update ? what is Sunday’s prediction ?
what are the chances of crossing 3 idiots record now ?
Can’t beat YJHD…RANBIR is the baap of SRK
Ett cllctd 100 crs in jst 4 daz bt it didn’t mk it t 200crs in d nxt 26 daz.. Ce cllctd 162 crs in 8 daz wich is smply outstndin
To everyone replying me unnecessary plz read the 2nd line of this article carefully.Its is clearly written that Srk starrer will be the third film to cross 300 crores mark.So no matter even it crosses ETT or 3 idiots but it will be always known as the 3rd movie to cross 300 crores mark.lol
Hay guys people were talking about number of screens. So now i tell u something very interesting. Saturday Collection of CE is 8.51 and OUATIMD is 8.75. So now lets what excuse haters will give. Clearly now OUATIMD have much more screens then CE. hahahahaha Akki is far from SRK as far as Starpower n Acting Talent is concern.
SRK prove that years before when Don n Jan-e-Mann where release together at Diwali. But the interesting thing was Jan-e-Man was 2 heros movie Sallu n Akki n OUATIMD also a 2 heros movie Akki & Imran but both the time failed to defet SRK.
CE is case is most wothful as CE is running in its 2nd week and OUATIMD is running in its 1st weekend.

What u want more to prove the worth of KING. A showed his Class in each and every movie.
Amazing SRK. May u have many many more.
@sachin11…so what?? First sunil gawaskar set the record of 34 centuries…later tendulkar crossed it and set a new benchmark of 51 centuries(still counting)…and nobody is saying that tendulkar is the second player to score 34 centuries…instead of it, everybody is talking abt his own record…
So stop cracking jokes anymore
@xzone i m really shaking in fear by reading ur comment and i don’t know what to do bcoz my favourite stars have not given me any tips about what to do in fear like ur favourite star has given u a tip of making phone call from Shauchalaya which i know u will apply during release of “Dhoom 3” and “Mental”.lol
@xzone now don’t change ur field by going in cricket.Come back.its bollywood where benchmark is 100 crores club,200 crores club,300 crores club etc while everybody says in media and everywhere that “3 idiots” is 200 crore movie not 202 bcoz 200 crores is a benchmark and there is no club of 202 crores.By the way Sunil gavaskar and Sachin tendulkar are different generation players and there is big age difference between them while Aamir and Srk r of same age.So Aamir crossed 200 crores benchmark at the age of 44 while Srk crossed the same benchmark at the age of 48.lol
SRK has King of Bollywood. King Ka Baap. He was one and only one super hit romantic Actor in Bollywood.
@Xzone
Well said bro!A tight fitting reply to that troll @loser11.Just loved your comment.
CERocks….
You missed Yes Boss…
@sachin11….just ans my simple question…when will ur remake khan is supposed to cross that 200cr benchmark?? Bcoz he used all hook and crook till now like 3-4 open weeks,no clash ,fake publicity through being human and all….but the sad part of the story is, that our king khan surpassed the collection of Dabangg in seven days….
Aamir crossed at the age of 44,srk did at 48, but i donno how many open weeks Salman needs.. pity on him..
Now coming to k3 and d3, i’ll be the happiest person, when these movies break ce’s record, but about your “mental”…tell him to get atleast 10 open weeks, otherwise he will have to wait for his entire life..
Waiting for the dhamaka sequel of BADSHA….
@sagor completely agreed with u. If Abbas-Mastan wana back in limelight they need to make a sequel to BADSHAH. What a fantastic movie. Believe me if BADSHAH would release in todays time will become sure short Blockbuster if not more. Why only Badshah i believe Duplicate is also a gr8 movie. These 2 films of SRK were unlucky at that time.
Right now Chennai Express running in bullet speed. All other train tracks are block due to CE.
srk ce lifetime will cross the 400 cr mark inshallah very soon.
just 2 weeks running guys, we have 3rd and 4th weeks also. just think about this. it will cross 225 cr
last monday collection of ce 211cr. in india
