In just 6 days since its theatrical release, Hrithik Roshan's Krrish 3 needs just Rs 2.52 crore to go past the lifetime collections of Salman Khan's Christmas blockbuster Dabangg 2.

Krrish 3 vs Dabangg 2

Some factors that worked in favour or went against the two films.

• Both Krrish 3 and Dabangg 2 were sequels to tremendously successful films. Like Salman's Chulbul Pandey, Krrish and Rohit Mehra were hugely popular with audiences across all age groups.
• D2s music was popular with the masses especially Kareena Kapoor's Fevicol Se'. Rajesh Roshan's outdated compositions were universally thrashed.
• While Hrithik commands a larger audience / fan base in urban cities, Salman is huge with the masses. Surprisingly though, Dabangg 2 under-performed at smaller centres and Krrish 3 hasn't sustained too well in major metro cities!
• Business of Dabangg 2 in the North Indian circuits was affected due to severe cold. The dill pre-Diwali phase meant that the first weekend business of Krrish 3 was slightly below trade expectations (at least the exhibitors weren't too happy in the first 3 days, all that changed on Monday though).

Comparative numbers..

• Dabangg 2 - 3500 screens, Krrish 3 - 3700 screens (4050 including Tamil and Telugu)
• Hindi version weekend - Dabangg 2: 65 crore - Krrish 3: 63.7 crore
• Weekend including all versions - Dabangg 2: 65 crore - Krrish 3: 72.7 crore
• First week - Dabangg 2: 106.5 crore - Krrish 3: 165 crore expected (in 6 days 152.98 cr)
