Happy New Year opened up to a huge response at the box office raking in over Rs 40 crore on the first day and continued to maintain a steady pace to become the fastest 100 crore entrant, beating Aamir Khan's Dhoom 3. But given that Aamir Khan's film enjoyed a nice Christmas holiday week, collections kept coming in the range of over Rs 20 crore till the sixth day. 

Salman Khan's Kick on the other hand, opened to around Rs 26 crore at the box office but it maintained a constant pace, earning in the range of Rs 25 crore with its fifth day being Eid. It settled for about Rs 148.30 crore after its sixth day and the SRK-Deepika Padukone starrer earned around Rs 11.50 crore on its sixth day to take the total to Rs 148.36 crore, which is almost equal to Salman's Kick. 

In the long run, Aamir's Dhoom 3 lifetime looks extremely difficult but it needs to be seen if Happy New Year holds its ground and trod past Salman's Kick.
