Chennai Express shatters through 100-crore club

 

Shah Rukh Khan's rise to the top hasn't really been too difficult. His swarms of fans have followed him through his near three-decade long career through all the ups and downs and sudden U-turns.

After you excuse all the 'bokwaas', realisation sets in that despite all the criticism, SRK's latest film 'Chennai Express' has become the fastest film to earn 100 crores at the box office (domestic). The film itself managed a cool Rs 6.75 crores in paid previews on Thursday, earning another first for the movie in 'highest paid collections'. It broke the '3 Idiots' paid preview record (of Rs 2.75 crores) and 'Ek Tha Tiger''s first day collection record (close to Rs 33 crores). The film and its cast, including the film's director has been trending on twitter for three days now.

So if you're wondering about the film's earnings in total, try to wrap your head around these figures. But keep in mind the numbers are just for three days, the film is still running to full houses.

Opening day:  Rs 33.12 crore

Saturday: Rs 28.05 crore

Sunday: Rs 32.5 crore

The only film to have made Rs 100 crores within five days of its release was Salman Khan's 'Ek Tha Tiger'.

The Red Chillies and Disney UTV film is directed by Rohit Shetty and stars SRK and Deepika Padukone in lead roles.

For the last two months, that's exactly what a TV crew has been doing, following the country's biggest star from South Africa to America to London to Mumbai — all for the making of a unique six-part series on the actor, to be telecast on lifestyle channel Discovery Travel & Living. "It's an inner world-outer world kind of documentary," said Khan, speaking exclusively to HT. "Hopefully, the parts that people will get to see of me — at work and at other places — will shed some light on how films and film stars work and offer an insight into how I do things." Khan said he has got to know the crew quite well ("They have been very unobtrusive"). For Discovery Travel & Living, this series will be one of the biggest global productions to come out of India and will be shown all over the world. "We haven't yet decided when we're going to telec
