Aamir Khan wins the battle

Feb 10, 2014

Dhoom 3's box-office exploits reached a new high at the end of the second weekend, when it crossed Chennai Express' Indian net collections of 226.70 crores. Dhoom 3 has now netted 227.83 crores in India, inclusive of the Tamil and Telugu versions too. The Hindi version has contributed 216.66 crores to the total, with 37.69 crores coming in the second weekend.

Aamir Khan's Ghajini was the first movie to net 100 crores while his 3 Idiots was the first movie to net 200 crores in India. Now, Dhoom 3 is all set to net anywhere between 250 to 300 crores as lifetime collections in India. It will obviously emerge as the biggest box-office hit in India in a few more days' time, by besting Krrish 3.

Dhoom 3 has ended the year on a great note for the Bollywood film trade. Aamir Khan is now sitting right on top as Dhoom 3 has bested the business of Salman and Shahrukh's biggest hits till date, Ek Tha Tiger and Chennai Express respectively.
