Kick beats Ek Tha Tiger to be Salman's top grossing film

Salman Khan's latest action-romantic flick, Kick, has given him his career's biggest worldwide hit with a gross collection of Rs 350 crore within two weeks, beating his 2012 release, Ek Tha Tiger, which raked in Rs 320 crore.

With this, the movie has also broken into the top five highest grossing films of Bollywood.

With the film yet to be released in many foreign territories, Kick might well be on its way to beat Hrithik Roshan's Krissh 3 (2013) that collected Rs 374 crore worldwide.

The record for the highest worldwide gross collection lies with Yash Raj Films' Christmas release last year, Dhoom 3, featuring Aamir Khan and Abhishek Bachchan, with Rs 542 crore. In fact, four of the five top grossing movies have a Khan in the lead. This is because most of the traditional foreign audience, especially the UK, US and the UAE, are celebrity driven and the Khans command immense following in these three markets.

Shah Rukh Khan's Chennai Express is second on the list of the top grossing movies with Rs 422 crore, while Amir Khan's 2009 hit 3 Idiots is at number three with Rs 395 crore.

Kick, which marks the directorial debut of Sajid Nadiadwala, has made a hefty Rs 217.08 crore (net) at the domestic box office, making it this year's highest grosser and the first Rs 200-crore film. It is also Nadiadwala's fourth hit film of the year after 2 States, Heropanti and Highway.
