UPDATE 1AM on Saturday: Happy New Year has collected around 36 crore including all versions on Saturday.
Happy New Year is on a historic run at the box office, as the morning shows on Saturday are only about 10-20% lower compared to yesterday at most multiplex centres that we have been tracking. Noon shows have picked up, most shows are running to capacity and the gap between Friday and Saturday business should narrow towards the end of the day.
For most films that do well at multiplexes, collections tend to peak on Saturday night, and this should be the case with Happy New Year too. The Shahrukh Khan film could record its second straight 40 crore day, but for that business has to pick up in the evening.
Happy New Year is rock-steady at single-screens too, which suggests that the word-of-mouth even with the masses is pretty good. Most films that aren’t carrying appreciation, begin to show drops at single-screens as early as Friday evening, that hasn’t been the case with Happy New Year. The film opened very well on Friday and remained steady throughout the day. Saturday too has opened on a very positive note.
Some updates from various cities across India
- Pune: Multiplexes are steady with average occupancy of around 75-80% so far today. Advance booking is very good here, so occupancy could touch 100% for the night shows.
- Kolkata: Huge! At some plexes the occupancy is comparable to Saturday, even though today is a working day.
- Bangalore: Normal Saturday morning drop here, picked up in the noon. Night expected to be packed to capacity, as advance is very good.
- Mumbai: Plenty of shows here, so the average occupancy including single-screens seems to be hovering around 50-60% today. Will pick up.
- Mangalore: Yesterday morning the occupancy on 3 screens was a little lower than big films like Dhoom 3, but night shows were houseful. Today, the opening shows were better than yesterday!

@wwww My prediction is 1 crore epic failure.
40 crose amezing really u r the best srk in the world i wsh u u win this year best actor 9 times
@Haters SRK is a Real Superstar coz he believes in Team Work. He took out all Actors to promote movie. Coz he knows the truth that Failm Making is a Team Work. But look at Sallu KICK had Nawaz ud Din, Randeep and others but he alone with Jacky and Sajid promoted the movie. At the end people went gaga over Nawaz ud Din, likes Randeeps work as well. Same goes to Amir for 3 Idiot & D-3. Thats a difference. Other 2 Khans want lime light. But KING Khan knows He will shine as always but he respects others work too. Bravooo. Salute u KING Khan.
BREAKING NEWS:SOON GOVERNMENT OF INDIA WILL AWARD SRK AND AB AND OTHER SUPPORTING ACTORS IN FILM FOR MAKING A FILM LIKE HNY A HIT AND WORKING WITH OSCAR AND NATIONAL AWARD WINING DIRECTOR FARAH KHAN
Movie shouldn’t receive this much credit, really wasnt that good, could have been much better with the cast in the movie, I like SRK but this movie was brought up only cause of Abhishek and Deepika.

Its a long 3 hour film. But never bores you. As bad as a film maker Farah is, its her best film because HNY is wildly entertaining pushing forward on SRKs wild childish energy thats rubbed off even on Bachchan Jr and Boman Irani. Its silliness take on the heist itself is entertaining enough and something Dhoom 3 completely missed.
Poor Director Farah Khan gave a lesson to all Bollywood director (Farhan A and Dhoom 3 director). If you cannot make hollywood style serious Heist movie, make a mockery or silliness out of it and it can still work and it really did.
@kartik u got that info from hritik or fox star or whom ?
@Tiger
I think u have lost it man. I do have sympathy for you take a good rest. You will be alright when pk will be released or if not so wait for prem ratan shan payo.
Till then plz don’t make any childish come ts ;p.
U r in utter shock
No one have officially said that the budget is 150 crore and screen count is 5000+ in India but when the official count will be disclosed people will say that they have manipulated it or they want to run away from failure.
Don’t know how these people know more about a movie than its producers and other related members.
@hny collected what was expected on day 1,40cr + opening. It’s great,now weekend will be around 125cr min as per producer and 115cr as per trade,so 13cr more than d3 if I take trade figure. Its good as d3 was 172min long and hny 180 min so both are long still able to achieve fantastic mark,so hny is set for 250cr + let’s see will it cross d3 or not as wom is looking positive.
Frankly from trailer I didn’t expect it to entertaing but it is as per the reviews coming.
Let’s see where the collection end.
I read here some said that if hny was 2:30min long than 50 cr will cross, what is this so if hny is 2 hr long than it will collect 60cr.Hilarious.
Still d3 having non-holiday opening and weekend figure that is huge,so hny beat the d3 on holiday not non-holiday.Huge.
@indicine I read your review it was totally biased or inappropriate, I don’t have a problem that you given 4 star to hny,when I read your review and the flaws you mentioned,I thought you will give 3 or max 3.5 to hny as the review written but you gave 4,same thing happen with kick,in d3 review except length you didn’t criticize anything so 4 star is justified there, similarly in 2 states lead actor miscasted still 4/5,I didn’t predict your rating according to you words as despite with major flaw you given hny,kick,2states and hskd 4/5 even your words doesn’t match those rating.poor show.
i cant say what would be the collection of HNY It is unpredicted
@Bhai
what i need to discuss with u?? & when did i behave rudely & childishly…in ur srk nightmare…?
HNY has fared poorly in the USA… Even crapper than JTHJ n it wont even match CE mark… Poor showing- Aamir rules supreme in the States now…
Overseas audience unlike domestic audience will not forget yet alone forgive Farah so easily after forking out to watch her last crapgiri film of 2010… Overseas data is being compiled ever so slowly bcoz the numbers are horrific…!
Awesm srk u r king
Once again provd
All the best srk for upcoming rockind days
500 cr in india
@Sahir : Its not team work but insecurity Srk unlike Salman whose alone name is enough. Tell me when was the last time Srk gave a BB with a new heroine plus new director ??? With new heroine RNBDJ still directed by Adi Chopra & With debut director Farah in MHN (10 years ago) !!!!!! but wheres the combo of both in his career ???? Salman did this phenamenon twice – MPK & Dabangg !!!!! Also who knows Siddique (Bodyguard director) before & after Bodyguard ????? dont talk about stardom when you dont know anything !!!!!!!!!!
better then kick &dhom 3…………..s.r.k……….is the king of bollywood…….
abhisheik bhachan is the king of bollywood last year he created history with d 3 and now creating with hny but media is sold in the hands of khans he appericiate only khans because they give a lot of money to media if sholay is dharminder amitabh starrer mr india is anil kapoor starrer then how can u say that d3 is amir starrer its actualy abheshiek starrer he id the hero amir is only a villian same in hny abhesheikh is better than kinner khan but media is giving credit to kinner khan who is doing over acting and bought media
I didn’t saw hny and I wont ..I don’t like to watch them ..my personal issue..but definitely srk will cross 1000 cr. Happy diwali for srk fans..so srk fans don’t stuck in 200 cr.300 cr.even in 500 cr..1000cr maybe less he will go beyond that..
Maybe skyfall’s record inline to next beat..very proudful moment for srk audience..2500 cr. Was skyfall’s bo income..now I hope indiawale going to beat that.
khans r doing films only of big directors and makers they have no guts to do small directors movies when they works with new makers they cant make a movie hit kinner khan is hitbecause he has two father and one mother like yash chopra karan johar farah khan shakka khan is hit because he has three fathr like suraj barjatia sajid nadiadwala sohail khan arbaaz khan gandu khan is hit because he has father like rajkumar hirani dharmesh dharshan and inder kumar without their these fathers they are fail and nothing
Srk is king..he is great ii***** my request to srkian plz keep away real star truly,hrithik from this..u enjoy..and bring your comparison level to Hollywood still u feel it is less then go for Mars.k.
Awsome yr.
fst 3 days collection 120 cr… & 1st week collection 180cr….
@lakhwinder : I think you are blind. Salman Khan has given Blockbusters with new directors :
* Prabhu Deva – Wanted – Super Hit
* Siddique – Bodyguard – BB
* Abhinav Kashyap – Dabangg – ATBB
* Sooraj Barjatya – MPK – ATBB
* Arbaaz Khan – Dabangg 2 – BB
Srk also given DDLJ & KKHH with Adi & Kjo plus MHN with Farah !!!!!!!!! what are you smoking ?????
The above movies are all directed by first time directors when they were unknown to industry !!!!!!!!!!
