Salman Khan's Sultan has come into the 200 crore club. With
this, the Ali Abbas Zafar directed affair has created history as it is the
first ever movie to breach the 200 crore mark and that too under 7 days. None
of the 200/300 crore club movies before this (PK, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Dhoom 3,
Kick, Chennai Express, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Happy New Year, 3 Idiots) has
managed to achieve this fortunate feat in such quick time. But, for this Yash
Raj Films, it has been made possible as 13.2 crore* more came in on Tuesday,
hence bringing the total to 209 crore*.
In terms of lifetime collections, the movie is now pretty
much neck to neck with Prem Ratan Dhan Payo [210 crore]. Between now and
tomorrow, the movie will definitely cross Chennai Express [227 crore] and Kick
[232 crore] as well, hence turning out to be fourth highest grosser ever (after
PK, Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Dhoom 3) in just 9 days. Incredible!
The movie has set huge benchmarks for more Bollywood movies
to follow. Before the close of year, the only biggie that could challenge this
feat is Dangal and Aamir Khan would have to come up with something truly
special in the Christmas Day weekend. Till then, it is the voice of Sultan that
would roar the loudest as there is no stopping the movie that is crossing newer
frontiers with every passing day.
