The four-day domestic and overseas collection of "Sultan" stands at Rs. 254.78 crore.

"Sultan" is smashing all box office records with its phenomenal box office run. The Ali Abbas Zafar directorial is the only Bollywood film that raked in over Rs. 30 crore consecutively in four days at the domestic box office and over Rs. 50 crore in just three days at the overseas box office.
