New Delhi: Aamir Khan's PK has beaten Dhoom 3's Monday collection with Rs 22.40 cr nett and has taken the domestic four days' total to Rs 117.61 cr, according to a leading daily Koimoi.
This is the best non-holiday Monday figure however, Krrish 3 holds the record to earn maximum on its fourth day but it was a Diwali holiday where it garnered Rs 35.91 cr nett amount.
Dhoom 3 too, despite having a non-holiday Monday made brilliant collection of Rs 21 cr while Hrithik-Katrina's Bang Bang is above both Aamir Khan starrers with a collection of Rs 22.41 cr on Monday but it was again a holiday for Eid al-Adha.
Normally, it's seen that the big banner movies' collections drop more than 40 % after its opening weekend but it's not in the case of ‘PK', which has received above 75% occupancy in most of the theatres.
PK is still behind in the race of four days collection and the movie, which tops the charts, is Aamir Khan's action drama Dhoom 3, which earned Rs 129.32 cr nett amount.
Shah Rukh Khan's Happy New Year, which with its weekend collection was racing ahead, is brought to number two for its collection of Rs 123.86 cr nett in India. This movie's performance at box office declined heavily thereafter, so more fall in its ranking will be witnessed in the coming days.
Hrithik Roshan's Krrish 3 grabs the fourth spot in the chart with (Rs 108 cr) while Shah Rukh Khan's Chennai Express (Rs 113.04 cr) stands fifth.
This year's earlier blockbusters follow in the list. Salman Khan's Kick earned Rs 98.14 cr within four days of its release. Hrithik Roshan's ‘Bang Bang' minted 94.13 cr and Ajay Devgn's Singham Returns collected Rs 92.7 cr nett within same time period.
Moreover, the movie goers who were mot sure about the movie are making their way to the theatres after the debate on the social media with hashtags such as #BoycottPK and #WeSupportPK went viral just after a day of its release.
PK, which is a satirical take on Godmen and people's blind faith on religion, has been facing the ire of several religious organizations and a Pakistani guy (played by Sushant Singh Rajput) falling in love with an Indian girl (Anushka Sharma) is also being looked down by certain communities.
Well, it's a fact that any sort of publicity is a good publicity. Now viewers either love it or hate it, but they definitely can't ignore it. To make any opinion they will have to watch PK first and this certainly will help the movie to cash in more than it actually was about to.
Here are the four days figures of PK-
Fri cr 26.63 cr, Sat 30.40 cr, Sun 38.24 cr, Mon 22.40- Total Rs 117.61 cr.
