There is no doubt in the fact that Krrish 3 has performed well on Box Office. I agree that Krrish 3 Box Office Collections were marginally better than Chennai Express. But is it justified too ?
What I am going to list are refutable points but per my opinion Chennai Express was bigger grosser because
- Firstly, Krrish 3 movie tickets were 10% Costlier
- Secondly, Krrish 3 was released on more number of screens as compared to Chennai Express
It is in-fact controversial for considering the above points.I’ll leave it up to you for deciding when it comes to Krrish 3 Vs Chennai Express.

Yes it is justified. If the film was not liked the high cost of tickets and higher number of screens would have worked against it and made it a failure quickly. If Krrish 3 was released on comparable screens and ticket price TO CE only the overtaking process would have been delayed by few more days. The super success of CE is more mind boggling and a slur on Indian cinema goers taste. Krrish 3 has given it some respectability as it is a better movie in all aspects.
