Shah Rukh Khan's 'Happy New Year' crosses worldwide collections of Salman Khan's 'Kick'

Shah Rukh Khan's Diwali release Happy New Year which recently entered the Rs 200 crore club two days back has been performing steadily over its third week, with collections dipping in the weekdays. Although the SRK-Deepika Padukone starrer will not beat Salman Khan-Jacqueline Fernandez starrer Kick at the domestic box office, HNY has overtaken Kick's worldwide collections already.

Although Kick performed well at the overseas arena, SRK given his strong fan base around the globe struck gold raking in around $15 million from its international markets. Kick had collected around Rs 233 crore nett and Rs 309.89 crore gross in the domestic box office followed with $11.10 million which is around Rs 68 crore in the overseas arena. In total Kick had its lifetime worldwide gross at Rs 377 crore.

On the contrary, SRK's HNY could not perform better than Kick at the domestic market and has made around Rs 200.50 crore nett till today. The film's domestic gross is around Rs 289 crore. But the film has outperformed the Salman starrer at the global arena bringing in over $15 million which is around Rs 90 crore. Hence HNY's total worldwide gross stands at Rs 379 crore and is still counting. 

The film will definitely not be able to catch up with Salman's Kick at the Indian box office but overall, SRK's HNY has turned out to be a winner. All that we need to see now is whether the Farah Khan film overtakes Aamir Khan's 3 Idiots which has a worldwide gross of Rs 395 crore.
