- June 4, 2013 | 10:20 AM IST

Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani after becoming the highest opener of 2013 has set some newer records at the domestic box office. The film after the conclusion of its first Monday earned 13 crores, taking its 4 days domestic total to 75.11 crores at the Box Office.

With that the Ranbir Kapoor-Deepika Padukone starrer has enhanced the stature of stars too. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani has beaten superstars’ films in a matter of days. It crossed the collections of Sajid Khan’s Himmatwala starring Ajay Devgn in two days flat. By the end of its third day it had beaten the collections of Anil Kapoor and John Abraham starrer Shootout At Wadala‘s income. In four days, the film surpassed the money raked up by Akshay Kumar’s Special Chabbis (26) too. By defeating all the top superstars of Bollywood, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani has crashed all previous box office records of 2013.

So far, it was Aashiqui 2 that was garnering all the praises but now Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani has emerged as an able competitor to beat both Aashiqui 2 and Special Chabbis. Not undermining the achievements of Aashiqui 2, since the film has so far recorded the highest Return on Investment of any Bollywood film in 2013, YJHD is meant to escalate the charts further.

The film is now eyeing to topple Saif Ali Khan starrer 102 crore revenue raking Race 2. Going by the pace of YJHD, the incomes of the film that have come splurging should be able to attain the 100 crore mark by the end of its first week itself!
