Box Office: Sultan becomes Salman Khan’s highest opening weekend grosser

The massive Eid release Sultan featuring none other than Salman Khan and Anushka Sharma has been doing roaring business at the box office. After opening on a massive note, Sultan seems to have moved from strength to strength, wooing not just the critics but the audience as well.

In this box office report, we take a look at the Opening Weekend collections of Sultan while comparing the same to Salman Khan's previous releases. Not surprisingly, since Sultan enjoyed an extended five day weekend, the film tops the charts with massive collections of Rs. 180.36 cr, overpowering the collections of Salman's previous releases Prem Ratan Dhan Payo that collected Rs. 129.77 cr, Bajrangi Bhaijaan that collected Rs. 102.6 cr, and Ek Tha Tiger that collected Rs. 100.16 cr.

With Sultan that has almost crossed the Rs. 200 crore mark in terms of collections still running in theatres and whole week left before new releases hit the screens, all that is now left to be seen is whether the film will manage to set new box office collection records.
