In this way, the total for the second weekend was an outstanding Rs. 88.66 crore (Hindi Rs. 82.46 crore, dubbed Rs. 6.20 crore). Hence the film crossed the Rs. 400-crore mark on Friday itself. If only the Hindi version is considered, it crossed the Rs. 400-crore mark on Sunday when its total reached Rs. 430.46 crore. This, therefore, became the fastest Hindi film to cross Rs. 400 crore. Collections for the weekdays were as follows: Monday – Rs. 16.25 crore (Hindi Rs. 14.25 crore, dubbed Rs. 2 crore), Tuesday – Rs. 14.80 crore (Hindi Rs. 12.90 crore, dubbed Rs. 1.90 crore), Wednesday – Rs. 9.40 crore (Hindi Rs. 8.60 crore, dubbed Rs. 0.80 crore), Thursday – Rs. 7.95 crore (Hindi Rs. 7.25 crore, dubbed Rs. 0.70 crore).
