Krrish 3 Rocks Bollywood, Hits Rs 100 Crore In 4 Days

Krrish 3 has joined the coveted Rs 100 crore club in just 4 days. The Hrithik Roshan-starrer was released on November 1 and noted critic-trade analyst Taran Adarsh broke the news on Twitter. “#Krrish3 hits a ton. Crosses ₹ 100 cr mark on Mon. Fri to Mon: ₹ 108.61 cr,” his tweet said. But there’s yet another record. The flick has registered the highest collections ever on a single day – Rs 35.91 crore on Monday, November 4.

And still there’s more. Adarsh’s latest tweet says: It’s a rocking Tuesday! #Krrish3 is on a record-smashing spree. Collects ₹ 26.26 cr. Total: ₹ 134.87 cr. AWESOME.

According to producer-director Rakesh Roshan (Hrithik’s dad), by Monday, the film has collected Rs 108.6 crore in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu versions across 4,450 screens, an Economic Times report said. The rest of the trade contradicted the numbers, though, pegging it between Rs 85 crore and Rs 93 crore.

Has Krrish 3 got the better of Shah Rukh Khan’s Chennai Express, which has reportedly entered the Rs 100 crore club in fastest time – again in 4 days. We are not sure at this point of time, but the third movie in the Krrish series has definitely bombed the box office after Chennai Express.

Papa Roshan’s dream flick stars ‘beta’ Hrithik, Priyanka Chopra, Kangana Ranaut and Vivek Oberoi (he played the villain Kaal). The superhero sci-fi drama was made at a budget of about Rs 100-150 crore. It was sold at Rs 70 crore to some 9 domestic distributors, with another Rs 18 crore coming in from overseas rights (570 screens). Krrish 3 also struck a satellite deal with Sony for about Rs 37 crore and sold its music for Rs 7 crore to T Series, ET reported.

Interestingly, it is Hrithik’s second and Priyanka’s fourth film to cross the 100-crore mark. Again, Krrish 3 is Vivek’s second success after the adult comedy Grand Masti. As one critic said, it’s definitely a bumper Diwali gift for all – actors, director-producer, audience and the ubiquitous movie industry called Bollywood.
