Aamir Khan and Katrina Kaif starrer Dhoom 3 will become the movie with highest all-time collection in just 10 days. The movie has earned around Rs 174 crore in just six days.
The movie which has garnered highest collection till date is Chennai Express with a business of Rs 208 crore. Chennai Express had earned Rs 139 crore in six days.
Dhoom 3 is likely to cross that mark with another 50 crore revenue expected by Sunday.
Meanwhile, Dhoom 3 is going so strong at the box office in Nepal that the local filmmakers have had to delay the release of their own films for the next three weeks fearing tough competition.
"We do not have Nepali movies to release now and for another two weeks, though five to six Nepali movies were ready to come out." Rajkumar Rai, chairman of Nepal Film Producers Association said.
Many producers are not keen to release their films due to the overwhelming response to Dhoom: 3.
Roshan Adiga, CEO of QFX Cinemas, said, "No Nepali film is in the pipeline for release."
Made on a budget of approximately R 100 crore and produced under the Yash Raj Films' banner, the movie hit as many as 4,000 screens across the globe.
In comparison to the over $2 billion Indian film industry, the filmdom in Nepal is very small and the maximum budget of a film doesn't exceed (NRs) 3 million (approximately $30,000) to NRs 4 million ($40,000).
