All the media hoo-haa apart (in which shahrukh khan specializes) the hard cold fact remains that chennai express hasnt broken any records in an apples-to-apples comparison. here's how.

1. in the last 5 years since the weekend and opening day records have become the two most important ones (the 3rd being lifetime nett) there has not been a single big star film that released solo on a national holiday friday. not a single film has had this kind of a composition of the week. hence the weekend figure of 86 crores had no other film to compare with which had a similar weekend.

2. the only apple to apple comparisons for chrennai express was ek tha tiger wednesday vs chennai express friday both being national holidays. even there chennai express had an advantage ' ett had released in the middle of ramzan, actually the last week wen the devout pray and fast even more, especially the last friday. despite that chennai express failed to break that record by BOI. (the fact that a couple of years ago BOI wud have 'adjusted' this 1.5 cr to somehow make an srk film break the record is another matter) ek tha tiger had broken bodyguard's record, that had broken dabangg's opening day records and dabangg had broken 3 idiots opening day record.

3. the lifetime total of 3 idiots is yet to be broken.

4. highest non holiday monday has not been broken. yeh jawaani hai deewani retains the record.

5. the paid preview record is suspect too as chennai express had almost half a day's shows (beginning 6 pm) while other films have had just one night show. so it wanst basically a paidpreview but half a release.

all of chennai express's (fake) records are mostly media hype. this will be further highlighted by the fact that most of these records are so fragile, they may go within 3 months. but its an undisputed clean hit for srk after 5 years that much seems sure.

Why are you hell bent on proving the same thing again and again by making multiple threads?
Don't worry your Sallu bhai's mental will make more than 100 crores on the theatrical release Day itself👍🏼

the man who write this shit forget that in his logic no one till now beat any record
ETT with all the hype didnt even cross 190 cr forget 202
ETT didt break biggest secend week record
about the opening what some people try to say about CE express weekend the same happed with ETT
biggest release + biggest price + biggest hype + bigeest release date all these factor come with ETT then why its achievment for ETT and hyped for CE this is abaised words than not make any since
the fact is simple any big film can break record with the right factors and till no CE break many records but he miss other so what this happened with all films right now because
who care about final records no film even cross 190 cr and about opening record we have anew name till now so thats it in simple words and fans must accept the fact
media overhyped many things but to say the film didnt break anything is just shit article
about CE now its just how big the final result will be to decide shahrukh now position in the game

🤣

Why am I not surprised. Srk is so desperate to make his film look like it's a huge hit when it's not!

Who makes a success part the day after the film releases? 😕
