‘Chennai Express’ Breaks ‘3 Idiots’ Highest Box Collection Record

MUMBAI: History has been rewritten by Shah Rukh Khan starrer ‘Chennai Express’, which has broken the box office record held by Aamir Khan’s ‘3 Idiots’, to become the highest collecting Bollywood film, EVER!

As we had reported, last week itself, the Rohit Shetty directorial had crossed the stupendous Rs 200 crore threshold in style, in a mere 16 days.

But now, all hell has broken loose, as the film, produced by UTV Motion Pictures and SRK’s Red Chillies Entertainment, has struck pure box office gold, and rewritten history by doing so.

This has overtaken the previous benchmark set by Aamir Khan’s ‘3 Idiots’ (directed by Rajkumar Hirani) which was the highest collecting film earlier, standing at an unbelievable lifetime box office collections at Rs 202 crore net.
