.: Endhiran Box Office Collection Rs.200 Crore, Robot Box Office Report

Endhiran: Biggest hit in the history of Indian cinema

In two weeks, the film has collected a never-before Rs 200 crore.

Rajinikanth may not have been a big favourite earlier other than in Tamil Nadu, but the success of Robot has proved that the superstar is a big craze even in other centres and especially in the North.

Endhiran (the Tamil version) and Robot (the dubbed version in Hindi), starring Rajinikant-Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, has surpassed all box-office collections thus making it the biggest -ever grosser in the history of Indian cinema, according to trade analyst N.P. Yadav. He asserts that 3 Idiots was the last film to net Rs.150 crores while Endhiran/ Robot has had a net collection of Rs 200-225 crore worldwide since its release on October 1, which is nearly double of Dabangg and is still going strong.

The film made at the whopping budget of Rs.170 crore, had screening starting as early as 5 a.m. in certain places of Tamil Nadu, and in this state alone, it collected Rs. 150 crore with an approximate Rs 50 crore in other South centres while the dubbed version has made Rs 15 crore in India. “It is Rajinikant’s charisma that works in his favour. Moreover it is an out-and-out masala film, with Aishwarya to add to the glamour quotient, the lavish locations and extravagant special effects,” he states.
