Salman Khan continued to rule the box office a week after it's record opening. It even outdid the total earmings of Salman's last hit, Wanted.
With no major releases this coming week as the Ranbir Kapoor-Priyanka Chopra starrer Anjaana Anjaani has been postponed to October 1, it looks like it's going to be Salman's show all the way.
Trade analyst Vinod Mirani gives us the box office verdict for the week.
