'Krrish 3' crosses Rs.100 crore mark

Bollywood heartthrob Hrithik Roshan starrer "Krrish 3" has crossed the Rs.100 crore mark in four days.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter to share the news about the movie that released Nov 1, two days before Diwali.

"'Krrish 3' hits a ton. Crosses Rs.100 crore marks on Monday. Friday to Monday: Rs.108.61 crore," he tweeted.

He also said that the Rakesh Roshan's film has "shattered" the highest single day record.

"And highest single day record lies shattered," wrote Adarsh and added that "Krrish 3" created history on Monday by collecting Rs.35.91 crore at the box office. "The highest single day figure ever," he said.

Another trade pundit Komal Nahta described "Krrish 3" as "Roshans' Diwali gift to the industry".

"'Krrish 3' lights up the festival of lights. Nets Rs.35.91 crore Monday, which is the highest ever single-day collection. Roshans' Diwali gift to the industry," Nahta tweeted.

According to sources, the movie was made on a budget of Rs.100-Rs.150 crore. It hit about 3,500 screens and from day one has been doing well at the box office.

If it earned Rs.25 crore on the first day, the second day's earning was Rs.23.20 crore and on Diwali, the earning was Rs.24.30.

A third in the franchise that began with 2003 hit sci-fi movie "Koi... Mil Gaya", "Krrish 3" takes forward the story of the superhero Krrish.

If "Krrish 2" saw Krishna defeating Siddhant Arya and save his father Rohit, "Krrish 3" sees the superhero fighting with a dark force, an evil genius called Kaal, played by Vivek Oberoi.

The movie also features Kangana Ranaut as a mutant, while Priyanka Chopra plays the female lead.
