This sci-fi Rajnikanth film has beaten two weeks old Salman’s ‘Dabangg’ by earning a net of Rs 117 crore within it’s first week of release.

While Bollywood’s highest grosser ‘Dabangg’ which had earlier outsmarted ‘3 Idiots’ had only collected Rs 82 crore in its opening week.

‘Endhiran’ setting huge records across the globe
The film which has opened in 2,200 screens is earning nearly four times extra than ‘Dabangg’, which had initially opened only in 1,400 screens.

Talking on this, sources stated, "More than one-and-half times extra screens means the revenue earned is nearly four times extra and that is also helping the film. Also about 92% of cinema halls are running the film and the collection continue to be rock steady."

According to trade pundits, ‘Endhiran’ had collected Rs 60 crore in TN and ‘Robot’ more than Rs 15 crore, whereas in AP it has collected Rs 30 crore.

Besides in Karnataka and Kerala Rajni’s ‘Endhiran’ collected around Rs 8 and 4 crore respectively.

The movie has been making waves not only in India but also abroad. In North America, the box-office records for the first weekend is estimated around $1.56 million and in UK, ‘Endhiran’ has earned a net collection of $467,000 in 30 theatres.

Meanwhile, the film in its first weekend in Malaysia and Singapore earned about $800,000.

Hindi version ‘Robot’ has collected 30 crore
The key strategies to woo the audiences have always been the content of the film, lead stars and the visual treat.

Incidentally, Robot seems to have synchronized well with the movie goers for its perfect end product.

It’s also believed that even though it’s a dubbed film, it has still broken all the norms of a dubbed film by creating an impressive record by breaking past the one crore mark.

‘Robot’ has done exceptionally well in single screens and multiplexes across the north. The film has collected a net amount of Rs 30 crore in its first week.

"The collection of the film in places like Jodhpur, Ghaziabad, and Meerut continue to remain steady and the film is doing well both in single screen and multiplexes across states,” added sources.
