3 Idiots grosses Rs 1 billion in four days
MUMBAI: There is no stopping the 3 Idiots. The Aamir Khan movie, distributed by Reliance Big Pictures, has grossed Rs 1 billion in its first four-day run across the world.
The movie released in 2126 screens, including 366 screens overseas. Says Reliance Big Entertainment chairman Amit Khanna, “We are privileged to have been associated with 3 Idiots and its immensely talented team led by Vinod, Aamir and Raju. The ramp-up to Rs. 1 billion in 4 days is phenomenal and we are confident that the film will continue to blaze new records in the weeks to come.”
Shot on location, the film chronicles the tale of three friends in an engineering college. Says producer Vinod Chopra,” The response to 3 Idiots has been overwhelming. It is the highest grossing Hindi film ever in Australia on its opening weekend. Similarly in the US, I have been given to understand that that the film would be highest ever for a Hindi film.”
3 Idiots has surpassed Aamir‘s last year blockbuster Ghajini that collected Rs 900 million in its first four days of release.

Dhurandhar the revenge storms past Rs 1,000 crore in a week, rewrites box office records
Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller sets fastest run to Rs 1,000 crore with record-breaking weekday hold
MUMBAI: The box office has a new juggernaut—and it is moving at breakneck speed. Dhurandhar the revenge has smashed past the Rs 1,000 crore mark worldwide in just a week, clocking a staggering Rs 1,088 crore and resetting the rules of the blockbuster game.
Backed by Jio Studios and B62 Studios, and directed by Aditya Dhar, the spy action sequel opened to the biggest weekend ever for an Indian film globally—and then refused to slow down. Unlike typical tentpole releases that taper off after Sunday, this one powered through the weekdays with rare muscle, posting Rs 64 crore on Monday, Rs 58 crore on Tuesday, Rs 49 crore on Wednesday and Rs 53 crore on Thursday.
The numbers stack up to a formidable first-week haul. India collections stand at Rs 690 crore nett and Rs 814 crore gross, while overseas markets have chipped in Rs 274 crore, taking the worldwide total to Rs 1,088 crore in just eight days.
The film’s opening weekend alone delivered Rs 466 crore, laying the foundation for what is now being billed as the fastest climb to the Rs 1,000 crore club in Indian cinema. Every single day of its first week has set fresh benchmarks, from the highest opening weekend to the strongest weekday hold—metrics that typically separate hits from phenomena.
A sequel to the earlier hit Dhurandhar, the film has not just built on its predecessor’s momentum but obliterated previous records, emerging as the biggest global blockbuster run by an Indian film to date.
At this pace, the film is not merely riding a wave—it is creating one.
