Dhoom 3 First Day Collections: Early Estimate

Dhoom 3 has collected around Rs 35-36 crore including all versions, as per early estimates, at the domestic box office. The film has beaten the previous non-holiday record of Dabangg 2 (21 cr) by more than 70%.

The first day business was on-par with holiday releases like Chennai Express, Ek Tha Tiger and the fourth day of Krrish 3, which is huge since business hasn’t touched these level on a working day.

Both multiplexes and single-screens were running to 85-90% occupancy throughout the day. The evening / night shows were expected to be affected due to the cold wave in the North, but the film has put up record numbers in Delhi / UP.

Dhoom 3 has set new records in almost every circuit, except the South, where Chennai Express is ahead. The film has collected around Rs 1.9 – 2 cr in Rajasthan and Rs 3.75 cr in Andhra/Nizam (including Telugu version).

There are reports that the regional dubbed versions (Tamil and Telugu) have also set new records, with business of around Rs 3 crore on Day 1.

Yash Raj Films is expected to release the ‘actuals’ in the noon. Stay tuned!

  • Its strange that Indicine is giving figures even when YRF has not announced actual figures ..why didnt u do the same for K3 & CE?

  • Dhoom 3 Has Outstanding Day One

    Dhoom 3 (Hindi) had an outstanding day one collecting around 30 crore nett on day one as per early estimates. The film set opening day records in some circuits while in others it was below either Chennai Express or Ek That Tiger. It has to be noted these films released on Eid and Independence Day respectively while Dhoom 3 released on a normal working day. The film smashed the non holiday opening record by a distance.

    The film set new highs in Delhi/UP and East Punjab despite the cold weather though the collections for the Hindi version were lower than Chennai Express in the southern markets due to that film having more local appeal for that region. The film also had a release in Tamil and Telugu and that version would have added around 3.25-3.50 crore nett with the Telugu version doing well.

    The film should record the highest opening weekend collection ever by beating the 87 crore nett three day figure of Chennai Express.

  • Watched it last night. Came out with a splitting headache. Last 2 dhoom were way too innovative and fresh. You don’t take anything away with you. Watch the movie and forget immediately. Aamir doesn’t look like a dhoom guy. Because of his height and feminine face cut may be. Acting wise we have great expectations from him but he had already delivered much better performance than this but still kudos to him for taking the pain of learning tap dance and acrobatics. Katrina hadnotjing to do as actor but whatever she has done, that is dance ans look good, she has done perfectly. It would make few hundred crores but first 2 dhooms remains my favorite

  • According to BOI, Dhoom 3 had an outstanding day one collecting around 33.50 (including tamil & telegu version) crore nett on day one as per early estimates.
    New Record!

  • ce first day record is gone.This year is certainly ending with dhoom.Katrina,priyanka and salman did not release any film this year

  • I wil b surprised if dhoom 3 surpasses d opening day record of chennai xpress being a non holiday release… Wasnt xpecting dis much.
    But dhoom in itself is a craze among ppl.. N it is proved now dat dhoom is d biggest franchise in bollywood better dan d krrish series(no disrespect against hrithik)

  • Going to watch it second time, this time in IMAX..1 time is not enough..I have no words to praise AAMIR’s acting ability…

  • This film has to become the highest grosser regardless of how good or bad it is. Dhoom is the biggest franchisee in Bollywood. Three open weeks, no competition, a-list actors, most awaited film of the year etc. How can anyone expect standalone film like chennai express to hold onto its records against dhoom 3?

  • Guys let’s be honest here. Aamir’s stardom is way bigger than srk or hr and at par with sallu (higer at plexes). So Aamir in a fully commercial masala movie was expected to do this much because don’t forget he is the one who started the trend of monster hits.

    And the fact about Aamir is that people might think he doesn’t have a crazy fan following but when his movies release then fans of other stars too scamper to watch them.

  • Acccording to boi …
    Dhoom 3 collects 33.40 crs nd beat chennai express..

    Dhoom 3 collects 30 cr in hindi nd 3.40 crs approx in other versions ..

    Jis jis srk fan ko shak h wo ja k dkh le boi..

    Aamir is the real king of bollywood ..he started 100 cr club then 200 cr club then its time for 300 cr club …awesome…then others khan will follow him..

  • Dhoom 3 is now an unstoppable tsunami. People were whistling and enjoying the movie throughout it’s entire length in the theatre that i watched dhoom 3.Going for it again on sunday.Hope i get the tickets.

  • Watched “Dhoom 3” yesterday night.Great entertainer with mindblowing stunts and good story with a good twist.Performance of Aamir khan is just outstanding.Aamir khan proved again that nobody can match him in terms of acting.Great experience to watch “Dhoom 3” in theatres.

  • Guys do watch “Dhoom 3” on big screens otherwise u will regret later.This movie is meant to watch in big screens only.Watching on TV or computer later will not give that thrill and enjoyment.

  • @fierblade Ohh really is that the reason why Talash failed to even collect 90crs @ box office.. put salman/SRK in Talash it would have ealsy crossed 150.. baat karta hai… tu bhi janta hai dhoom is a bigger brand it is bond to collect big numers @ Bo.. Just imaine salman/SRK in D4 and D5 respectively Opening day will 50-60crs + ..

  • @sonia sinha Your comment shows that u have not even seen the movie.Anyways well tried but u failed big time to fool people bcoz they will watch “Dhoom 3” in theatres bcoz it is a superb movie.

  • Film was exceptional in multiplexes and going by the response, it seems that film will break few records on the way. Film is almost certain to cross 90 cr nett over the weekend and might touch 100 cr nett though 95 cr nett looks more realistic.

    Film collected 30.50 cr nett on day one. Film collected close to 34 cr nett including all versions (approx 3.5 cr nett in other versions). In CI, film collected 1.17 cr nett against 1.11 cr nett of ‘Chennai Express’ on opening day. In Rajasthan, film collected close to 2 cr nett which is a new high. Film should smash highest single day figure of ‘Krrish 3’ (35.91 cr) on Sunday but then the real test will start on Monday when word of mouth and such a huge release size will start affecting.

    As per early trends on Saturday, film is down at few places and few other places like Mumbai and NCR are holding up well. Overall it seems film should touch 26 -28 cr nett today too but jump over yesterday looks tough. Though real picture will emerge from evening onwards.

  • Well to be honest CHENNAI EXPRESS released on 3500 screens and D3 has released on 4500 so even if record gets broken by 2 or 3 crores it’s not an achievement for D3

  • @ooo, its okay but dont forget that ETT had released 2900 screens wayback Aug 2012 whether CE released on the 3700 screen if u know what i mean.
    Poor srk fans making many excuses.. lol

  • @Fake lungiwala fan- if Thakur of Chennai was to star in Dhoom 4 then it would collect less than Johns Dhoom…! FACT

    Truth is people would not want to see Thakur doing a Dhoom Machale where he stands in the middle of a mountain range for 5 long drawn out boring yawnafest minutes with his skeleton arms stretched out, back arched and head tilted back. Doing this he will unexpectingly pull any last remaining muscles in his weak fragile smeagol like body…! Lol
    Truth hurts but thats life so enjoy Aamirs Dhoom while its here coz the benchmark has been raised not just a notch but several notches kiddo…!

    Aamir rocked but my review will come after I watch it again this afternoon.

  • @lungiwalas Excuses for 3 idiots record being broken by crappy express… 3 idiots released on just 1600 screens way back last decade so when Thakurs film released on more than double the screen count plus quadruple ticket rates then its no big achievement that it beat the lifetime record of 3 idiots…!

    Oh well thats life but enjoying the excuses guys so keep them coming in. :-P

  • @sachin11 lol bro your reply to Sonia was superb…!

    Poor bichari still thinks Crappy Express was paisa vasool so let her be I say.

    dhoom 3 on sat is rock steady so 30 cr is a realistic target and maybe more..! Power of an Aamir film is strong content. ATBB for sure now. ;-)
