Box Office Collection: Aamir's 'PK' is Fastest ₹200 Crore Grosser; Beats '3 Idiots' and 'Happy New Year' Lifetime Earning
Aamir Khan-Anushka Sharma starrer "PK" has set another record by surpassing ?200 crore in nine days at the domestic box office and beaten Shah Rukh Khan's "Happy New Year" lifetime record.
"Dhoom 3", also starring Aamir, was the only film until now to have earned over ?200 crore in just nine days and now "PK" has joined the list. "PK", a satire film directed by Rajkumar Hirani, has been doing brisk business during the holidays.
"PK", also called as "Peekay", has also shattered the records of Aamir's first ?200 crore grosser film "3 Idiots" and SRK's "Happy New Year" in just nine days.
The film posted a higher second Friday and Saturday figure, compared to "Dhoom 3". The film minted ?14.44 crore on Friday and approximately ?17 crore on Saturday, taking its overall domestic total to ?214 crore.
"PK" has now become the second highest grossing film of 2014, after Salman Khan's "Kick" and fifth highest grosser of all time.
With Sunday being a holiday, the film is expected to add a huge amount to its pocket. "PK" is set for highest second weekend total, and also it will beat the records of "Kick" and "Chennai Express" if it earns more than ?20 crore on Sunday.
