YRF\'s flick \'Ek Tha Tiger\' starring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif in the lead roles has broken all the records set by the previous films of Salman Khan. It has already become a major hit at the box office.

\'Ek Tha Tiger\' is all set to set a new record in Delhi/UP as it is heading for INR 40 crore nett business at these places. It has already become the first film to cross the 20 crore mark just after 3 weeks of its release.

Prior to \'Ek Tha Tiger\', 3 flicks that have set major benchmarks in Delhi/UP over the last 20 years or so include \'Hum Aapke Hai Kaun\', \'Gadar\' and \'3 Idiots\'.

Salman Khan-Madhuri Dixit starrer \'Hum Aapke Hai Kaun\' was the first flick to hit 10 crore nett in 1994 whereas Sunny Deol-Amisha Patel starrer \'Gadar\' became the first movie to hit 20 crore in 2001.

Let\'s hope that the magical 50 crore mark is also achieved in the near future!
