So will it or will it not? 😆

So will ETT break 3 Idiots' record?

Does it deserve to?

I think not because 3 Idiots held a universal appeal, it was well liked by the young and the old...teachers, students, parents, Indians and Asians. Most people could connect to the sentiment, it had a message. But ETT does not seem to hold the same appeal to sustain long-term. Sure, it had a phenomenal, record breaking opening but will it sustain to draw in enough moolah and break 3Idiots' record?

What do YOU think?

But people for your information, the movie that ACTUALLY is the BIGGEST HIT OF THE HISTORY OF INDIAN CINEMA with ADJUSTED net according to the inflation rates is none other then the cult classic HUM AAP KE HAIN KAUN released in 1994.
It is the ONLY Indian movie that has this official title of the biggest hit till date even in Guinness book of world record, having adjusted net distributors' share and everything that no film (even sholay) can touch till today, let alone a 31, ddlj or any other movie.

Even Srk's biggest chamcha karan Johar admitted this in Jhalak Dikhlaja 19 aug's episode and clealry stated that HAHK is STILL the ACTUAL biggest hit of the hindi cinema's history.

Now don't start fighting me over this... its all on the official record.
Do a bit of search, consult guinness book, komal nahata's authetic trade journals and the official printed Boxoffice journals and u'll get the same answer from everywhere.

WOW I must say

the producers of ETT were EXTREMELY smart with their planning.

They released their movie on a festive weekday, and knowing that Salman's movies make loads of money, they took advantage of the starpower and let the release date garner as many earnings as possible.

Then came the WEEKEND! haha and obviously sales are gonna be high on the weekend.

Plus not to mention the hike in the ticket price...

awesome awesome awesome planning, honestly, kudos to whoever was in charge of all of this.

u r jumping on the conclusions sooo fast my darling.
have some patience and do wait for the next three days of Eid (the actual festival for which the film was released for)

and no its NOT THAT OBVIOUS.
just go back in history and see what happened with tees maar khan, despite of all OBVIOUSNESS, farah khan's super success record, a huge huge promotion, and a whole international vacation occasion of Christmas, holidays and new year... a kinda holiday of whole one week.
