The film, which also features Kareena Kapoor Khan and Dayanand Shetty, popularly called as Daya, now stands at sixth position in the top grosser films chart of 2014. The top two positions are dominated by Salman Khan's films "Kick" and "Jai Ho" respectively.
"Singham Returns" buzz is still strong in India and hence there are chances that it will beat records of films including "Jai Ho" and "Holiday – A Soldier Is Never Off Duty" by the end of week one to become the second highest grosser of 2014.
Meanwhile, "Singham Returns" has become Devgn, Shetty and Kareena's fifth to enter in the century club. Salman has the highest number of films that has made it to century club, followed by Devgn and Shah Rukh Khan.
Shetty is the only director who made it to the coveted club for the fifth consecutive time, while Kareena and Sonakshi Sinha are in the top with five films in the 100 crore club.
