Chennai Express earns Rs. 200 crore, on its way to beat 3 Idiots

Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone starrer Chennai Express is doing unbelievably well at the box office. The romantic-action-comedy, directed by Rohit Shetty has banked Rs. 200 crores in its second week only. This is the only film that has managed to enter the Rs. 200 crores club after Aamir Khan’s 3 Idiots (2009) and the speed at which Chennai Express’s tickets are getting sold at the ticket window, it won’t be a surprise now if the flick beats 3 Idiots.

On the success of his film SRK said, “I am not saying I know the business 100 per cent but I do know something. Half my life I've kept doing movies and then I think - I want to make movies for the South Indian market but that market can change, taste can change. I want to make movies for critics but critics and their appreciation can change for a certain kind of cinema. And then I make movies because my heart says so.”
