Salman Khan's latest release 'Ek Tha Tiger' affects the box-office collections of 'Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi'

The frenzy around Salman Khan's latest release refuses to die down. The film remains to be attracting the audience even after last week's Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi, which needed to bear the brunt of the Ek Tha Tiger wave.

Bela Bhansali Sehgal's debut venture managed to bring smiles at the faces of a distinct segment audience, however the good word-of-mouth has not transferred to numbers.

The first day number of the Boman Irani-Farah Khan starrer was Rs 1.62 crore, second day Rs 1.84 crore and Sunday Rs 2.23 crore making the overall Rs 5.69 crore for its opening weekend.

On the opposite hand, Ek Tha Tiger has now officially become the second one highest grosser of all times, after 3 Idiots (Rs 202 crores). The figures are approximately around Rs 158.27 crore after the second one weekend.

Trade analyst Amod Mehra says, `Shirin Farhad is disappointing on the box office. This can be a small film but it surely didn't do too well. The audience continues to be stuck on Ek Tha Tiger and the wave may be very strong. Shirin Farhad is for select audience however the expected business didn't happen. It won't make cash but have been critically acclaimed.`

Trade expert Atul Mohan says, `Shirin Farhad is a superb film and has its moments. The film will recover its money from satellite and other avenues but it surely always had limited scope. So far as Ek Tha Tiger is concerned, all I WILL BE ABLE TO say is that there's stardom after which there may be Salman-dom.`
