Salman Hadtrik ssentury; Ek Tha Tiger earns 100cr



Salman Khan's fourth consecutive blockbuster Ek Tha Tiger earned a record breaking Rs 32 crores on opening day and has now achieved another milestone. The Kabir Khan-directed movie has fetched over Rs 100 crores in just five days, after it was released on August 15.

Salman's younger sister Arpita Khan broke the news on Twitter: "Total 100.16 C in 5 days.. And the TIGER ROARS! Tiger Tiger Tiger."

Film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh, who called the film's opening collection "beyond historic," also tweeted: "#EkThaTiger hits a ton, @BeingSalmanKhan 's 4th century. "

Ek Tha Tiger, co-starring Katrina Kaif, is the fourth of Salman's films to make it to the elite "Rs 100 crore club" after Dabangg, Ready and Bodyguard.

The romantic thriller released on Independence Day (August 15). It reportedly cost Rs. 50 crores to make. Ek Tha Tiger is director Kabir Khan's third collaboration with Yash Raj Films after Kabul Express in 2006 and New York in 2009.

It is Salman's first Yash Raj film and Katrina's second. Katrina appeared in New York and has two other Yash Raj films coming up - Dhoom: 3 with Aamir Khan and an untitled film with Shah Rukh Khan.

Ek Tha Tiger tells the story of a Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) officer, played by Salman, and the turmoil that ensues when he falls in love with Katrina's character.

The story is written by Aditya Chopra and the film's screenplay has been co-written by Kabir Khan and well-known journalist-turned-lyricist-writer Neelesh Misra. (With IANS inputs)
