Top five highest grossing Salman Khan films of all time

Salman Khan’s wrestling-themed blockbuster ‘Sultan’ may have pounded its way into the record books while claiming its supremacy at the box office. However, question still remains if the film has enough stem to make it into the exclusive 300-crore club.

‘Sultan’ starring Salman Khan and Anushka Sharma in lead roles, has amassed an estimated Rs. 271 cr nett at the domestic box office so far. Trade analyst predict that the film’s lifetime collection would be around 300-305 crore nett, but those figure only hold true if the film continues to perform well this weekend. If ‘Sultan’ does cross the Rs 300-crore mark, it’ll be the third Bollywood film to achieve the feat after ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ and Aamir Khan’s ‘PK’.

Reports suggest that ‘Sultan’ may lose out on its audience down South, because of the release of the Rajinikanth starrer ‘Kabali’.

Salman Khan is the new crowned king of the box office, with his film ‘Sultan’ collecting a whopping Rs 182 crore nett during its five-day weekend. The film continued its phenomenal run at the domesticbox office with collections set to be around 39-40 crore nett. According to reports on BoxOffice India, ‘Sultan’ has maintained over Rs 35 crore nett collection on four out of five days at the box office so far. Trade reports suggest that the business on Sunday may turn out to be the highest single day and the first 40 crore nett breach in a day.

‘Sultan’ showed no sign of slowing down at the box office, as it walked away with an estimated nett collection of Rs 35-36 crore. The film that has Salman Khan and Anushka Sharma in leading roles, is now only the second film after ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ to cross this mark at the box office on day-2. According to reports, ‘Sultan’ has managed to draw in the crowds even on the second day, when other films usually face a 15-20% drop in ticket sale. Reports relate this steady income to Eid falling on 7th July instead of 6th July. Aamir Khan’s ‘Dhoom 3’ is currently the only film to collect over Rs 30 crore nett for three days straight at the box office. Will ‘Sultan’ rise to the occasion or will it bite the dust on day three?

Salman Khan has flexed his muscles at the box office once again with ‘Sultan’. While many trade analysts predicted a Rs 150 crore opening for the film, reports on BoxofficeIndia.com state that the film has collected approximately Rs 38 crore on day-1. Backed by positive reviews and advanced bookings, 'Sultan' now occupies the No. 3 spot on the list of the highest opening day collections in Bollywood. As far as the number game goes, 'Sultan' didn't have enough muscle to beat ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’ which collected approximately Rs 40.35 crore and Shah Rukh Khan’s 2014 blockbuster ‘Happy New Year,’ which occupies the No. 1 spot with a collection of Rs 44.97 crore.

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is expected to establish box office supremacy today, with the release of his action-drama ‘Sultan’. If the predictions by several trade analysts turn out to be true, Sallu’s sports-themed film might just punch its way into the box office's record books and become the highest opening day grosser of all time. According to reports, the film is expected to shatter all box office records with an estimated net collection of Rs. 150 crore.

It was only last Diwali that Salman Khan made a grand entrance at the box office, with drums beating to the tunes of ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’. The Diwali blockbuster, which also starred Sonam Kapoor in a leading role, raked in an estimated net collection of Rs. 213 crore at the Indian box office. The family drama, directed by Sooraj Barjatya won Salman his ninth 100-crore film, a feat that no other Bollywood star has been able to achieve till date.

Eid 2015 was the day Salman Khan shattered all Bollywood box office records, with director Kabir Khan’s heart-touching drama ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’. The film made an estimated collection of a whopping Rs. 321 crore at the Indian box office, and went on to check itself into the Rs 500-crore club at the worldwide box office. Will we see history repeating itself on Eid 2016? Guess we will have to wait and find out.

While many stars in Bollywood struggle and limp their way to the Rs 100-crore mark at the box office, Salman Khan zooms into the Rs 200-crore club with much ease. The actor’s 2014 action flick ‘Kick’, which also starred Jacqueline Fernandez, went on to collect a net total of Rs. 233 crore at the home box office.

Salman Khan’s role as a solitary man, who wages a battle to save people from the ever-prevalent threats of corruption and injustice in 'Jai Ho', fetched him a net collection of Rs. 112 crore at the Indian box office.

After the phenomenal success of ‘Dabangg’ at the box office in 2010, Salman Khan was back for an encore performance with ‘Dabangg 2’. The film raked in an estimated net collection of over Rs. 154 crore at the Indian box office. ‘Dabangg’ was the first film of Salman to cross the Rs 100-crore mark at the box office.
