Bajrangi Bhaijaan Tuesday (Day 5) Box Office Collection Update

Salman Khan’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan continues its dream run on its 5th morning at the domestic box office. The drop in the morning as compared to Monday, varies from 10-20%, but business is still phenomenal both at single-screens and multiplexes. The advance booking for the evening / night shows is also excellent.

While circuits like Delhi/UP and East Punjab are going recording incredibly high occupancies and collections, it’s the so-called ‘class’ circuits like Mysore and West Bengal, that are showing tremendous growth and embracing a film like Bajrangi Bhaijaan. Circuit records for Salman Khan films in these two circuits will be surpassed by a long margin.

Mumbai circuit started slow on Friday and Gujarat didn’t get a huge initial either. But the Monday business at cities like Ahmedabad, Gandhinagar and Valsad was higher than the opening day collections of the film.

Looking at the trends over the weekend and the record-breaking hold on Monday, Bajrangi Bhaijaan is certain to be Salman Khan’s biggest grosser, ahead of his last Eid release ‘KICK’.

The big question now is, if the film will surpass the records held by the 2nd highest grosser (Dhoom 3 – 285 crore) and the highest grosser of all time (PK – 340 crore). Both Aamir Khan starrers.

With Tuesday collections also estimated to come in the 20 crore plus range, Bajrangi Bhaijaan is looking at first week collections of 185 crore plus.

Also note that the entertainment tax in Delhi is set to increase from 20% to 40%. However, the film has been declared tax free in Uttar Pradesh.
