Akshay Kumar-starrer "Housefull 3" has shattered the collection records of Shah Rukh Khan's film in India. "Housefull 3" broke the lifetime box office collection of "Fan" (Rs. 84.10 crore) to become the second highest grosser of 2016.
"Housefull 3," a comedy-drama directed by Sajid-Farhad, had a good second-weekend box office run in India. The movie minted Rs. 3.50 crore on its second Friday; on Saturday, the film showed over 44 percent growth and on Sunday, it recorded a growth of 90 percent.
The second-weekend box office collection of the film is: Rs. 3.50 crore on Friday, Rs. 5.05 crore on Saturday and Rs. 6.65 crore on Sunday. The 10-day domestic box office collection of "Housefull 3" stands at Rs. 95.30 crore.

The comedy-drama is now set to take its nett box office collection to Rs. 100 crore mark, which is expected to be hit by the second-week. "Housefull 3" will be Akshay's second consecutive film to cross Rs. 100 crore mark in India. "Airlift," released in January this year, was Akshay's first Rs. 100 crore earner of 2016.
