See... This film will definitely not achieve love that 3I or HAHK or DDLJ has got in his life time

But Yes Salman Fans should understand that its not always about them! They should actually forget the biitter rivery with SRK fans and haterd towards SRK fans and let them enjoy the success! The film is indeed an ATBB and will soon break 3I Records!

LIVE AND LET LIVE!

Even if it hasn't beaten 3 idiots record (it has) I don't see the funny side in that.

Chennai express wiping out every Salman Khan's record however, I find hilarious.

My god, Salman fans..just let it go! If srk fans are happy that the movie is a success and are celebrating it then let them. why rain on someone's parade? Records are meant to be broken! yesterday it was an aamir movie, today it's a srk movie and tomorrow might be a salman movie.

So chillax!

Through Inflations HAHK is still India's biggest hit. Only if CE can beat that 😆

You guys barely gave CE a shot of surpassing Ready. It exceeded all expectations and took out Dabang, Dabang 2, Bodyguard and your beloved Ek tha Tiger. how do you feel about that 😆

Not bad at all. Coz the record like these are there now but gone tomorrow. Dhoom 2 also broke Gadar records but today is nowhere to be found in biggest success lists.

Also if you look below. CE. There are 5 Salman films then comes your SRK's flicks. So saying all that. There possibility that CE will be replaced from it's throne sooner

But the question now remain if CE can beat ETT's distributors share? 😆

HAHK and Sholay are two of the biggest Hits ever, so this comparison is useless.

If ETT wasn't an ATBB, there's no way CE can be. ETT had a dist share of 107 crores and CE will finish with 110. That's a difference of 3 crores, which is hardly significant in today's market. Considering all the factors, CE is a huge Blockbuster but not an ATBB.

In terms of ROI, ETT is still the bigger Hit. Let's not even talk of ATBB Dabbang.

The easiest way to distinguish a BB from an ATBB is ticket's sold!

Most Watched Films In Theatres (Modern Era)
Rank	Film	Year	Gross	Average Ticket Rate	Probable Average Ticket Rate	Footfalls
1	Gadar Ek Prem Katha	2001	130,25,00,000	40	32	4,07,00,000
2	Hum Aapke Hain Kaun	1994	123,00,00,000	35	35	3,51,00,000
3	Raja Hindustani	1996	85,00,00,000	36	30	2,83,00,000
4	Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge	1995	106,50,00,000	35	38	2,80,00,000
5	Three Idiots	2010	269,50,00,000	88	105	2,57,00,000
6	Ghajini	2008	155,00,00,000	80	70	2,21,00,000

These six, along with Dabanng are the only seven movies of the modern era to cross 2 Cr viewers.All are ATBB. CE sits somewhere between 1.3 to 1.4 Cr tickets sold.
To put it simply, if Gadar, the most watched film of the modern era, released today it would do around 500 Cr.
