Even having watched CE in one of the best multiplexes in India recently and 3i on a DVD on my laptop few years back, I can't place CE above 3i considering the class of these movies. 3i is a thorough and engaging entertainment for all ages whereas CE may appeal only to the younger audiences. Unlike 3i, perhaps the name of the movie attracted audiences from southern part of India as well, contributing to its sales figures greatly. Other reason for CE's sales success in terms of figures could be the difference in time of their releases. Add to it the blind fan following of SRK regardless of the material itself. Given both the DVDs in my leisure I would insert 3i in the player again. My opinion.
