"Chennai Express" was the first film that shattered Aamir Khan's "3 Idiots" record and also became the highest grosser film until the release of "Krrish 3" and "Dhoom 3" last year.

From the top position, the film went on to the third spot after the release of "Krrish 3" and "Dhoom 3". And now "Kick" has pushed the film to the fourth spot.

"After surpassing #3Idiots, #Kick now overtakes #ChennaiExpress biz in India. #Kick total till Wed: ₹ 228.08 cr nett. ALL TIME BLOCKBUSTER," Adarsh added.

"Singham Returns" to Affect "Kick"

"Kick" will finish its third week run at the domestic box office on Thursday and will begin the fourth week on the Independence Day. However, on the same day, Ajay Devgn's "Singham Returns" will hit the screens with a huge screen count.

The screen count of "Kick" declined after the release of "Entertainment" and it will decline further once "Singham Returns" hits the screen, which will affect the business of the Salman starrer.
