"Sultan," directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, minted Rs. 248.05 crore in 11 days at the domestic box office. The Rs. 248.05 crore nett income is the fourth highest in India, beating the lifetime domestic collection records of Hrithik Roshan's "Krrish 3" (Rs. 244.92 crore).

The Salman-Anushka starrer continues to break records at the box office. The film, which has achieved the all-time blockbuster status, is now Anushka and Salman's second biggest grosser in India, first being "PK" and "Bajrangi Bhaijaan."
