Salman Khan Has Top Three Domestic Weekends



The three Salman Khan starrers Sultan, Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo remain the biggest openers in terms of opening weekend business taking into account all films released in India. Kabali has the highest NETT collection but in terms of the amount collected at the box office (GROSS) it is in seventh place.  Below are the top ten weekend grossers in India. The list includes all films released in India and all figures are GROSS. Also all languages included for all films.

 1. Sultan - 147.56 crore
2. Bajrangi Bhaijaan - 137.93 crore
3. Prem Ratan Dhan Payo - 136.49 crore
4. Dhoom 3 - 136.21 crore
5. Happy New Year - 128.44 crore
6. PK - 127.40 crore
7. Kabali - 124.25 crore
8. Bahubali - 123.38 crore
9. Chennai Express - 115.55 crore
10. Kick - 106.35 crore

In terms of NETT figures Kabali is number one and the other South Indian juggernaut is in third place split by Sultan due to lower entertainment tax in the South. In GROSS figures there are a few Hindi films above them. Still as mentioned before these two South films are doing it outside holiday periods and recording higher occupancy than the Hindi films.

Sultan the biggest of the lot just missed the 150 crore GROSS mark when released a few weeks back. The final Worldwide figures will be updated later where Kabali will come into play more as it smashed records overseas.
