Even though Salman Khan is competiting with himself at the domestic box office, there is one record that stands tall – the lifetime collections of 3 Idiots. As per official figures from Yash Raj Films, Khan’s EID release Ek Tha Tiger came close, but couldn’t cross the 200 crore mark.
As things stand today, Dabangg 2 has collected Rs 106.5 crore nett in it’s first week, which is about 30 crores lesser than what Ek Tha Tiger managed to collect in 7 days.
Of the three films, Dabangg 2 had the widest release (3500 screens), while Ek Tha Tiger took full advantage of 3 holidays in Week 1. 3 Idiots released on about half the screens, but carried tremendously positive word-of-mouth and managed to break records even in Week 4 and 5.
Quite clearly, Dabangg 2 is not carrying the same WOM and drops during the weekdays have been pretty sharp. But the film has 2 open weeks and the New Year weekend. Can it cross the 200 crore mark? Vote below!

Good gys
@tejas,even srk’s worst film like ra.one easily crossed 100cr.then why not chennai express?if it gets avearage word of mouth(like don 2)then it will easily cross 130cr in non holiday also.AND DON’T FORGET ROHIT SHETTY IS ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESFUL DIRECTOR OF THE INDUSTRy.AJAY DEVGN IS IN THE TOP LEAGUE OF BOLLYWOOD NOW ONLY BECAUSE OF HIM.
DABBANG 2 COLLECTED ONLY 31CR IN OVERSEAS IN THE FIRST WEEK.LIFETIME WILL BE AROUND 40-45cr,even less than srk’s 2004 release veer-zaara(45cr).salman fans will cry.JTHJ LIFETIME=73cr.SALMAN TU SAPNE ME BHI SRK KA OVERSEAS RECORE NAHI TOD SAKTA.HA!HA!SHAME SALMAN FANS.
@tejas im salman fan also its gud for salman..im happy with salman success..nd srk is coming with CE remember ur figures: nt 100cr at indianboxoffice nd 35cr in overseas okay..
1 request comments here vry sensible dnt spoil ur image ok:)
@all srk fans srk is not even mentioned in the article then why are u dragging him…he should be remembered for giving Indias biggest hyped flop ra.one and nothing else…its Salman v/s Aamir and srk fans should keep themselves out of it….go and fight with akshay and ranbir fans…this is exclusively for 150+ crore fans haha
hahaha this is salman fans disappointing time because at this scenario its look like that D2 will finish around 150-160 cr just 10-20 crore more than Dabangg that shows that movie is not liking by people, i watched the movie yesterday and i liked it but the big disappointment in the movie is Prakash Raj Role, Arbaaz didn’t use this great actor in the movie and Bachcha singh didn’t make impact like Chedi Singh this is happen when u don’t have a specialist director.. still one time watch but i am bit disappointing as i thought it would be better than Dabangg but its not.
Hope for the best Finger Crossed and 3 idiots record is still untouchable that’s shows how big that movie was……
@ricky ponting and other srk fans (Sallu haters) one thing plz tells us one way u saying that Salman’s all movies are craps and u saying that ra-one was craps made 115 cr business than u think also that according to ur opinion ready,bodyguard,ETT,D2 and dabangg is also crap than u can still see these done higher business than raone than whose stardom is big, ans is Salman
moral- think before write because u srk fans come again and again on Salman’s page and taste dust every time..
Abe tum log gaand marao mai jaa raha hoon
SHAHRUKH KHAN :
shahrukh has requested a print of dabangg 2 (salman’s movie) to watch at his home.He requested to arbaaz and arbaaz instantly taken the decision to give the print to SRK.
SALMAN KHAN :
At the set of big boss 6, a contestent Imam Sidiqui made a statement abt SRK..
Imaam—SRK and preeti ko maine cast kiya hai jisse wo itne famous hai.
Salman—Shahrukh khan ko tume nhi banaya.shahrukh khan ko bhagwan ne banaya hai aur shahrukh famous hai apne fans ke karan, aur apne hard work, dedication k karan.
Na k tumhare karan..!
Guys..it clearly shows that both these superstars have a soft corner for each other.So we shud also avoid fighting as much as possible.
Thanks..
@who use my name in bad thinks and abuse
sudhar jaao
@tejas
Right dude.
I will also remember your prediction for CE (less than 100 cr in India and 35 cr overseas i.e. 135 cr worldwide)
I will surely ask you after its final collections.
And by the way Dabangg 2 is a nice movie, watched it in PVR. Salman is best as chulbul pandey and far better than his recent films.
My Dabangg 2 prediction- 150 crs Superhit/Blockbuster
Long Live Salman
Long Live Shah Rukh
Long Live Amir
@Legend well said dude
@xzone: my dear this is the good will of salman and he supported him in his early days and not spoken anything against him but we all know what srk is such a cheap person,long live salman as whole world said to him golden heart man.BLOCKBUSTER KHAN one and only Dabanng KHAN SALMAN.

@ tejas……….I think u hate SRK more than U love Salman……tere pas aur koi kam nanhi hai kya without hating SRK….mujhe to lagta hai,,,U became fan of Salman because u hate srk…pathetic loser..
someone srk fans using my id for abusing no problem carry on that’s all you can do.
when someone can’t argue with you logically and start abusing and fighting so you can understand the real winner.
Tejas you are awesome bro BLOCKBUSTER like Salman.
34-crores in first week overseas so those saying salman doesn’t have fans in overseas this is the slap for them.
srk is pregnant again with karan johars son haha
aamir and Salman khan are the best actors in the world….Aamir = Class & Salman = Box office ka baap! they have Andaaz Apna Apna :D
