Salman Khan’s Eid Releases Have Unleashed 2000 Crores Milestone At The Box Office – 11 Movies Including Kick & Sultan But Guess The Biggest Blockbuster?
Salman Khan has as many as 11 films delivered on Eid, but can you guess its cumulative box office collection and the highest grossing film?
There are two big releases on Eid this year, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and Maidaan. The films are led by Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn, respectively, but unfortunately, the pre-release hype did not meet the standards! Cinegoers, including critics and trade analysts, are currently missing Salman Khan releases. Here’s reminiscing the massive 2000 crore cumulative milestone unlocked by Bhaijaan movies at the box office.
It all started with Wanted. Salman chose 2009 Eid for the release date and delivered a hit at the box office. Ever since, he’s been a regular on the festival, irrespective of clashes. However, Khan has not been able to recreate his blockbuster magic in the last few years. Race 3, Tubelight, and Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ka Jaan were all underperformers at the box office.
How much did Salman Khan earn from his Eid releases to date?
One would be surprised to learn that Bollywood has earned 2000 crores+ at the box office from Salman Khan films alone over the years. The collections stood at 1902.11 crores until Bharat (2019). Huge expectations were shouldered on Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, which was expected to end his dry spell as a blockbuster on Eid and unlock the 2000 crore milestone.
Well, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan could not garner the blockbuster tag and was a losing affair at the box office with lifetime collections of 110 crores. But with that, Salman Khan’s Eid releases made a total of 2012 crores. What a tremendous record-breaking spree! We wonder if any Bollywood star will be able to achieve this milestone in their career.
