Box office: Salman Khan’s 'Ek Tha Tiger' makes Rs. 210 crore and still counting!



The past two weeks have seen quite a number of box office records smashed, thanks to the runaway hit of the season: Salman Khan’s unstoppable box office rage Ek Tha Tiger. 

The good news is that after its second weekend, the Kabir Khan-directed film has raked in Rs. 210 crore from both domestic market and abroad. The domestic collection of Ek Tha Tiger stands at Rs. 175 crore net approximately. 

However, ETT is still not the highest earning film in India, the record for which is held by 3 Idiots (Rs. 202 crore nett). But going by ETT’s unabated run at box office, there is every chance that the film will cross the lifetime collection of 3 Idiots to become the biggest grosser in the history of Indian cinema. 

The success of EK Tha Tiger has already shot Salman Khan’s market value up by a few crores. It was even rumoured that the Bollywood producer Ramesh Taurani offered the superstar Rs. 100 crore to feature in his production. Subhash Ghai, who’s announced his decision to make a film with Salman, says he would happily shell out Rs. 100 crore to Salman if the superstar demands it. 

Meanwhile, the last Friday’s release Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi has mostly gone unnoticed in the Tiger storm that’s raging on. The film, starring Farah Khan and Boman Irani could only muster Rs. 6 crore approx. in its opening weekend. 

The coming Friday would see the release of Joker, starring Akshay Kumar,Sonakshi SinhaMinissha Lamba and Shreyas Talpade.
