PK vs Bajrangi Bhaijaan: Box Office Collection Comparison

Note: This article is updated everyday. Read the ‘Update’ section just above the table for daily updates.

Salman Khan’s latest release ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ has taken a historic opening at the box office. The first 4-day collections has ensured that the Kabir Khan directed film is almost certain to go past Salman’s previous highest grosser ‘KICK’ (233 crore).

All eyes are now on the Top 2 highest grossers of Indian Cinema. Both Aamir Khan starrers, Dhoom 3 and PK.

The current comparison is between PK and Bajrangi Bhaijaan. In 4 days, PK had collected Rs 116.43 crore and Bajrangi Bhaijaan is way ahead with net box office collections of Rs 129.65 crores.

However, PK had no holidays in its first 4 days (except Sunday), but Bajrangi Bhaijaan had the advantage of Eid holiday on Saturday and Monday too was a holiday in some parts of the country as Eid celebrations continued.

PK, on the other hand, had plenty of holidays starting with Christmas (7th day of release) and New Year. The days in between were holidays for many schools and offices. PK also had the advantage of 3 open weeks at the box office, before the release of Tevar in Week 4. Bajrangi Bhaijaan has two open weeks, after which Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam and Ritesh Deshmukh’s Bangistan are scheduled to hit screens.

The multiplex ticket prices of both films were about the same, although at select premium multiplexes the tickets of Bajrangi Bhaijaan were more expensive. Bajrangi Bhaijaan has performed much better than PK at single-screens, so the all India average ticket price of the Salman starrer is lower.

The day-wise comparison between PK and Bajrangi Bhaijaan will be interesting to follow in the next few days. We will be updating this page everyday. Bookmark it and visit us again to find out if Bajrangi Bhaijaan can become the highest grosser of all time.

Update 22 July: Bajrangi Bhaijaan continues to lead PK at the end of Day 5. While the Salman starrer has collected Rs 151.05 crore in 5 days, the industry’s highest grosser had collected Rs 135.79 crore. In fact, Bajrangi Bhaijaan has beaten PK on each of its first 5 days at the box office.

Update 23 July: For the first time since its release, Bajrangi Bhaijaan has fallen short of the Wednesday collections of Aamir Khan’s PK. The Rajkumar Hirani directed film held on strongly on Wednesday, showed a small growth in business on Thursday and then had plenty of holidays (Christmas, Sunday, New Year) in Week 2. Those holidays could eventually be the difference, even though Bajrangi Bhaijaan still leads PK by around Rs 14 crore at the end of Day 6.

Update 24 July: The battle for the highest grosser of all time is now intensifying as there is hardly any difference between Bajrangi Bhaijaan and PK at the end of Week 1. To Salman and Kabir Khan’s credit, PK enjoyed a national holiday for Christmas on Day 7 of its release. But factors aside, Bajrangi Bhaijaan was leading by Rs 15 crore at the end of 5 days, but now the difference is just Rs 1.76 crore. PK is also the film that showed better trends in its first week at the box office. Bajrangi Bhaijaan now needs a record breaking second weekend to have any chance of becoming the all time highest grosser.

PK vs Bajrangi Bhaijaan has also become the most viewed page on our website this year. The tremendous interest is because Salman has never delivered the highest grosser of all time after ‘Hum Aapke Hain Kaun’ and the last time he featured in a film directed by Kabir Khan (Ek Tha Tiger), it fell just 3 crore short of ‘3 Idiots’, which was coincidentally an Aamir Khan – Rajkumar Hirani film!

Update 25 July: The difference between PK and Bajrangi Bhaijaan is down to just Rs 36 lakhs! After Day 8, PK still had one holiday (New Year), one open week before the release of ‘Tevar’ and showed better trends. So it’s probably safe to say now that PK will remain the highest grosser of all time and Bajrangi Bhaijaan would be looking at becoming only the second 300 crore grosser.

Update 26 July: Box office is unpredictable and how! Until yesterday, the trends were suggesting that Bajrangi Bhaijaan would fall behind the total of PK, but the Saturday collections of the Salman Khan starrer has shocked and surprised the trade once again! The film is now certain to break the record of Dhoom 3 and could do so by the end of its 2nd week itself. But the record of PK is now in danger of being surpassed. At the end of 9 days, Bajrangi Bhaijaan leads PK by Rs 3.29 crore and this lead will neutralise the ‘New Year’ holiday advantage that PK got. The battle for the highest grosser of all time continues!

Update 27 July: Bajrangi Bhaijaan is on course to become the highest grosser of all time, as the film continues to stay ahead of PK at the end of Day 10 at the domestic box office. The Kabir Khan directed film is already Salman’s highest grosser both at the domestic, overseas and worldwide box office. It has also surpassed the lifetime worldwide gross of Chennai Express. Bajrangi Bhaijaan is now the 3rd highest worldwide grosser of all time behind Dhoom 3 and Chennai Express.

Update 29 July: At the end of Day 12, PK had collected Rs 256 crore and Bajrangi Bhaijaan has collected 259.15 crore. The difference is down to Rs 3.15 crore, with the Salman Khan starrer still leading. However, PK’s business got a major boost because of New Year and it wasn’t competing against any film in its 3rd week. Bajrangi Bhaijaan will be up against Ajay Devgn’s Drishyam, a film that is carrying incredible pre-release reports. The third weekend collections of Bajrangi Bhaijaan will decide if the film has a chance of surpassing PK.

Update 30 July: The gap has closed again. The difference between PK and Bajrangi Bhaijaan is now down to Rs 1.2 crore. The Salman Khan starrer is now leading, but not by much. Drishyam releases in theatres tomorrow and Bajrangi Bhaijaan with about 50-55% fewer shows at multiplexes, would have to show huge growth over the weekend to have any chance of getting close to the lifetime total of PK. The growth on Saturday has to be similar to what the film showed on its last Saturday.

Update 1 August: The PK record is now out of reach for Bajrangi Bhaijaan. At the end of Day 15, the difference between the two films is Rs 8.99 crore. PK had already gone past the record of Dhoom 3 and showed incredible growth in its third weekend. In fact, the Sunday collections was more than Rs 11 crore. Bajrangi Bhaijaan will finish with net box office collections of around 320 – 325 crore.

  • after 2nd week its business mostly depend on multiplexes because drishyam is taking single screens.

  • Rock solid yesterday. BB has the lead but with New Yrs Day for PK it could be neck n neck plus Drishyam coming so it looks tough to get close to PK but still hoping…!

  • Most no. of hits according to boi:-
    Akshay~33
    Ajay~28
    SRK~27
    Salman~26
    Now choose, who is the biggest star..

  • my predictions is 320 crores, wish to get higher record by prdp, salman will earn alot of money this year!

  • PK’s 2nd Tuesday collections- 9.11cr
    BB’s 2nd Tuesday collections- 9.10cr.

    Salute to Bhai for not manipulating the figure to surpass pk collections..

  • just like 2010 it will beat second highest grosser i.e,dhoom-3 but will fail to beat the highest grosser. It might have higher footfall if it earn more than 320cr as it is performing much better in the single screen than pk, where ticket price is low than the multiplex.If this happen then what verdict will be given to bajrangi bhaijaan? For me dhoom-3, chennai express, krrish-3, dabaang, ghajini should be demoted to blockbuster status, as these film have the similar footfall. Now lets wait for the two big upcoming movie i.e, prdp and dilwale. Dilwale has every chance of breaking 2nd and 3rd week record bcas in 2nd friday there is christmas and in 3rd friday new year. Only it need is that bm should not release togeather with this movie and content should be very good. If this happen then ot could be the hgoty or hgoat. Prdp also look like sureshot 220cr movie, but if it is liked by all section of audience then this movie also can become the hgoty or hgoat. Lets look what happen what do you say guys?

  • you have written” 3rd highest worldwide grosser behind dhoom 3 and chennai express”
    plz correct it

  • No Matter if
    it Will cross Pk or not

    the Matter is all about carrying , positive Wom

  • Liked BB more than pk
    BB-4.5/5
    PK-3/5
    Dnt liked pk climax
    indicine plz conduct a poll on how many times to watchd bajrangi sensational bhaijaan

  • Khan trio together wont compare to the super stardom of BIG B in his hey day.

    But Salman Khan holds the record of the most number of Blockbuster hits, a record which will be impossible to break, bcos hopefully there will be much more in the future.

    I hope Bajrangi Bhaijaan becomes the highest grosser ever bcos i just love the movie.

    Aamir Khan is the better actor among the 3 Khans.

    SRK has been consistent with hits as well.

    I’m just glad they are all entertaining us.

    Keep it up Khan Trio.

  • Bajrangh bhi Jaan ……best movie..
    Sulman khan …..very best person of Bollywood..
    super star….i meet you sulman…

  • I m a Salman fan from Nepal. I really liked the movie and can confortably say its best Saman has delivered after so long. The msg about love n respect is laudable. But, i feel sad that people appreciating the msg of the movie r actually acting opposite in this platform. I dont think movie teaches this.
    Stop pulling legs and start respecting
    #Being Human #BeingSalmanFan

  • Excuses and if n buts n chameleonism of
    srk fans:
    1.Pk atbb bcoz of rajkumar hirani
    ,content,controversy,christmas n free
    weeks.
    Reality:srk also got content in
    swades,big director ashutosh
    gowarikar,free weeks but result flop.
    2.If srk wud hv got free weeks all
    records will b broken.last year he got 2
    open weeks for hny bt result:it crawled
    to reach 200 cr wid manipulation.
    3.At the time of krrish 3 v srk fans
    believe in boi only.it shows real
    collection.after hny boi is crap site.it is
    owned by aamir n always show less
    collection of srk n hrithik.
    4.Srk movies collect huge in overseas
    bcoz of his global star image n
    superstardom while other score wid d
    help of content n big directors.

  • 300 is guaranteed.. bb is an atbb.. i have a feeling third weekend collections will surprise again.. i predict it to be 30 crores.. by the end of third weekend that is sunday bb would cross 300.. and then it is a matter of 40 crores.. the race is definitely on! its gonna be a close one.. lack of holidays n bahubali factor affected bb but still the collections are mind boggling..

  • Just seen BOI claim BBs Wednesday collections are 7.5cr so a big drop from tuesday. Thursday was a holiday for PK so after 2 weeks it will go ahead of BB. With Drishyam coming PKs final tally is looking extremely tough. 300cr + for another ATBB for bhai so all is still well

  • do saal mein ek baar ata hai, aur logo ki band baja jata hai! Aamir rockssss! 14 million fans on twitter!

  • It looks like indicine is very unhappy that BB wouldn’t be unable to beat PK lifetime collections.
    The latest update is like, ‘bas karo ab aur nahi saha jaaata’.
    Today, 2nd thursday, BB would be around 6 crores whereas PK was 14.22 crores due to NEWYEAR. This means PK would take a lead of around 7 crores after the end of week 2.
    Week 3 for BB would be around 20 crores.
    Lifetime 304-305 crores.
