However, Salman’s latest lags behind the best weekends of rival Khans - Shah Rukh and Aamir - in the all-time charts.
SRK’s Happy New Year occupies the top slot, having raked in Rs 108.86 crore over the first weekend in Diwali 2014.
Aamir Khan’s Christmas 2013 release Dhoom 3 collected Rs 107.61 crore to occupy the second spot.
The film has broken a few records for Salman Khan, marking the highest three-day collection for the superstar, beating even Ek Tha Tiger. However, it is still behind PK and HNY

“#BajrangiBhaijaan won hearts, acclaim... now emerges triumphant at the BO. Fri 27.25 cr, Sat 36.6 cr, Sun 38.75 cr. Total: 102.60 cr (sic)” tweeted trade analyst Taran Adarsh.
Bajrangi Bhaijaan is expected to be the biggest hit of Salman’s career. However, the challenge for the superstar right now is to crack the overseas market.
He has been trying to score a global winner for a while, but his biggest international film, Kick, managed to rake in only Rs 377 crore.
The figure is way behind Aamir Khan’s PK, which saw a monstrous kill of Rs 735 crore.
Meanwhile, Bajrangi Bhaijaan has broken a few minor records for Salman. The film marks the highest three-day collection for the superstar, beating Ek Tha Tiger (Rs 100.16 crore).
Also, its second-day collection of Rs 36.6 crore beats Ek Tha Tiger’s opening-day haul of Rs 32 crore.
“Bajrangi Bhaijaan collected Rs 36.6 crore on day two, making it the highest box-office grab for the superstar for a single day. His earlier single-day collection record was for Ek Tha Tiger of over Rs 32 crore (sic),” confirmed trade analyst Adarsh on Twitter.
The good show of Bajrangi Bhaijaan comes in the wake of the Telugu blockbuster Bahubali crossing the Rs 300 crore-mark in just nine days.
“Last week, #Baahubali. Now, #BajrangiBhaijaan. Raining blockbusters. Achhe din aa gaye!” tweeted Taran Adarsh.
