In Australia, "Padmaavat," just one-week-old, has crossed the lifetime business of Shah Rukh Khan's Dilwale, Salman Khan's Sultan, Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Tiger Zinda Hai and also Mr Bhansali's last release Bajirao Mastani.
This may sound UNBELIEVABLE, but #Padmaavat has crossed *lifetime biz* of #Dilwale, #BajiraoMastani, #Sultan, #TigerZindaHai [still running] and #BajrangiBhaijaan in its *opening weekend* itself in Australia... Will cross #Dhoom3 today [Mon]... INCREDIBLE indeed!... @Rentrak
