Salman's Tiger Zinda Hai continues thunderous run on Christmas, breaks records galore
Mumbai: Salman Khan has bounced back from the debacle of ‘Tubelight’ in grand style with the superb opening of ‘Tiger Zinda Hai', also starring Katrina Kaif.
After registering a massive opening of around 34 crores on the release day, the film went slightly up on Saturday with Rs 35.35 crores coming in, but then took a humongous jump, minting Rs 45.50 crores collection on Sunday.
The film broke several records, beat 'Golmaal Again' (87 crores) to become highest opening weekend grosser (114 crores) of the year, beat 'Sultan' (105 crores) to collect highest first three days figures for a Bollywood film and beat 'Happy New Year's opening day Rs 44 crores record to register highest collection on a single day for a Bollywood film with its Sunday collections.
The Ali Abbas Zafar directorial continued its monstrous run on Christmas, with early estimates indicating close to Rs 40 crores coming in, taking the total collections past Rs 150 crores, according to Box Office India.
With the Christmas day collections, the film has set further more records. The movie has become the fastest to enter the Rs 150 crore club, again beating 'Sultan' which had taken five days.
It also taken the highest Monday collections for a Bollywood film, beating Hrithik Roshan's 'Krrish 3' (about 30 crores).
‘Baahubali: The Conclusion’ had also garnered around Rs 40 crores on Monday, and ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ might just edge past it when the confirmed collections of the day are out.
It’d now be interesting to see what other records 'Tiger Zinda Hai' breaks as it enjoys a solo run at the box office for a substantial amount of time.
