First Weekend Box Office Collection of 'Chennai Express'

9th of August celebrated the auspicious occasion of Eid worldwide, so did the entire Bollywood. But this Eid seemed to be much special, and the only reason behind it was the \'Badshah of Bollywood\', Shah Rukh Khan himself. Shah Rukh\'s much awaited \'Chennai Express\' halted at the theaters and soon was over loaded with flooding response from the audiences.

Soon as the day took a leave, the box office was filled with a wholesome of approx 33 crores, marking biggest opening ever. You might be thinking that this would have been a great start, yes! it was but as the flick was released for viewers it had already added 6.75 crores from none other than its paid-preview that held prior to the dawn of Eid, that is on Thursday night. This as well pronounced the highest collection of paid previews ever in Bollywood.

As there were triplets to holidays, Saturday witnessed the same storm of response gathering 28.05 crores. Sunday too measured bugging moolahs bifurcating territorial collections which goes as follows:

State Sunday Weekend Bombay Circuit 11.41 cr 34.78cr Delhi - UP 5.89 cr 18.26 cr East Punjab 2.15 cr 6.84 cr CP Berar 1.55 cr 4.84 cr CI Circuit 1.06 cr 3.29 cr Rajasthan 1.75 cr 5.54 cr Nizam & Andhra 2.20 cr 7.09 cr Mysore 1.90 cr 6.45 cr Tamil Nadu 0.95 cr 3.05 cr Kerala 0.25 cr 0.93 cr West Bengal 1.82 cr 5.09 cr Bihar 0.75 cr 2.18 cr Assam 0.36 cr 0.93 cr Orissa 0.46 cr 1.15 cr All India Total 32.50 cr 100.42 cr

The above aggregations surely touched the mark of 100 crores but as well added a new feather to the glories hat by being the first flick to earn \'the fastest 100 crores\' along with winning the first spot \'first film to do it in three days\'. The above two feathers of glory also got another addition of prosperity with announcing the \'Biggest Weekend Collection\' ever in the history of Indian Cinema.

Seems that he fuel of prosperity proved insufficient to this Express, so far it as well surpassed the basking glory of \'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani\' by noticing the highest third day collection of 32.50 crores. Now this really proves to be the best Eid for Khan over the years along with his newborn at his side all geared up for celebrations.
