8 Box Office Records Salman Khan’s Sultan May Break This Eid

The kind of magnanimity any Salman Khan film brings to the table isn’t just colossal in terms of fan’s outreach, the box office prospects are equally enormous. Salman Bhai over the last 6 years has broken records after records with his cinematic offering and here again, he stands with one potentially earth shattering box office grosser in the looks of Sultan.

The Yashraj film that comes out this Eid (an emblem for a Bhai release) has the making of a big blockbuster to say the least. Having Salman play a recuperating wrestler who brings glory to his country is an idea that his fans may really get crazy about. The project promises a number of records that may fade out after Sultan hits the screens.

Here are eight of those records that we feel Sultan may earn a credit for itself:

Highest Opener Ever

With a big festive Eid release, Sultan has all the chances of thumping the biggest opening in the history of Bollywood ever.

Currently Held By: Happy New Year (2014) – 44.97 crores

Salman’s Highest Opening: Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (2015) – 40.35 crores

Highest Collections In A Single Day

While the first day of the film has the chances of setting new records, the same day can also set a record for collecting the highest figure in a single day. Depending on the reviews and word of mouth, film’s first Sunday could also be the one to earn this record.

Currently Held By: Happy New Year (2014) – 44.97 crores

Salman’s Highest Day Ever: Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (2015) – 40.35 crores

Highest Opening Weekend

With an extended festive release, Sultan comes out on Wednesday to earn that extra edge. If a positive word of mouth spreads initially, the film may end its opening weekend on a record high. If this happens, Salman will only better his own record.

Currently Held By: Prem Ratan Dhan Payo – 129.77 crores

Salman’s Highest Opening Weekend: Prem Ratan Dhan Payo – 129.77 crores

Highest Yashraj Grosser

Yashraj is the biggest production house in the country by a fair distance but it is yet to see one of its product storming into the 300 crore club. As Salman joins hands with Yashraj after the record breaking Ek Tha Tiger in 2012, this may just be Yashraj’s highest grosser ever.

Currently Held By: Dhoom 3 (2013) – 283.2 crores

Salman Khan Highest Yashraj Grosser: Ek Tha Tiger (2012) – 198 crores

Quickest To 200 Crore Club

While just a handful of films are able to make it to the coveted 200 crore club in India, Sultan has the advantage of being the quickest to enter the league.

Currently Held By: Tie Between PK & Bajrangi Bhaijaan – 9 Days

Salman’s Fastest To 200 Crores: Bajrangi Bhaijaan – 9 Days

Salman Khan’s Second Film To Gross 300 Crore

If Sultan gets on to earn the coveted feat of getting into the 300 crore club, Salman would be the first actor in the history to have two 300 crore grossers. With Aamir (PK) and Salman (Bajrangi Bhaijaan) both having one each piece of their work in the club, Salman has an opportunity in hand.

Salman’s Highest Grosser Ever

Salman Khan has a chance again to better his record and make Sultan his highest grossing film ever. With so much going in film’s favor, it may just be the luckiest one for Bhai.

Currently Held By: Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015) – 320 crores

Highest Grosser Ever

If we’re putting our moneys on Sultan in the hopes of breaking so many big box office records, there’s no point holding back with the seeming possibility of Sultan being the highest grossing film ever in Indian markets.

Currently Held By: PK (2014) – 337 Crores
