Happy New Year beats Jai Ho and Holiday in 4 days

Happy New YearShahrukh Khan’s Diwali release ‘Happy New Year’ has gone past Salman Khan’s ‘Jai Ho’ and Akshay Kumar’s ‘Holiday – A Solider Is Never Off Duty’ in less than 4 days since its theatrical release on October 24. The film has also gone past Jab Tak Hai Jaan, Ra.One and Don 2 to become SRK’s 2nd biggest grosser (behind Chennai Express – 227 cr)

Released on 5000 screens across the country, ‘Happy New Year’ took advantage of the big festive period and collected Rs 44.97 crore on its opening day – which is higher than the lifetime business of several medium budget films released this year – Finding Fanny, Shaadi Ke Side Effects, Hasee Toh Phasee were swept away in under a day.

In two days, the film went past decent grossers like Haider, Main Tera Hero, Heropanti, Humshakals, Entertainment and Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania.

In its first weekend (3 days), even bigger films like Gunday, 2 States and Ek Villain were surpassed. And now on the 4th day of its release, Salman Khan’s Jai Ho (113 crore) and Akshay Kumar’s Holiday (114 cr) have been beaten.

Talking about the 4th day business of the film, there has been a lot of negativity over the drop on Monday – both in the comments section of our website and on social media websites like Twitter and Facebook. While the trend isn’t great, the Monday collections of Happy New Year is better than Chennai Express (12.72 cr) and Kick (14.41 cr during pre-Eid period) and the second best Monday of 2014 – only behind Bang Bang which collected 15.36 crore on a holiday!

One more stat – the first Monday collections of Happy New Year is higher than the opening day business of Humshakals, 2 States, Holiday and Entertainment, and a little lower than huge openers like Gunday, Ek Villain and Jai Ho!

Clearly, the collections are still good and the film has every chance of crossing the 200 crore mark. A lot would depend on how well it holds in the next two days and what sort of growth it can show in the coming weekend.

  • Finally watched happy new year. Movie was better dan wht i expected n was entertaining (though not in d same league as mai hoon na). Srk was usual good. But it was nandu bhide who stole d show! ABi ws exceptional n dis was one of his best performance (liked him very much in guru ). Some editing could have done hell good(sajid khan was totally un needed n many more) n To those comparing, honestly felt hny ws much more entertaining than bang bang. Overall the movie is good to average n better dan expected.

  • yeepee … One more award anounced by oscar for srk – ‘ The Manipulation King ‘ . Enjoy srk fans.

  • Difference between KICKs 1st Monday business — 1.25 crs

    Difference between HNYs 1st MONDAY collection — 2 crs including regional version.

    Things like 1st Monday collection is never considered as records….records are lifetime,opening day etc….if HNY don’t make any lifetime record then surely they will not project it as they have created it unlike K3 or anything.

    Lifetime diff will be max of 20 crs.

  • Bang bang had more negativity than hny
    But hny target was opening day record in which they are succeeded but eventually it will reduce lifetime collection
    Decision to release movie post deewali gone wrong

  • @JC — What about the articles like WHY JAI HO IS COLLECTING LOW – 9 REASONS – During JAI HO time.

    Or Why should KICK should be the 1st 300 crs film or Site slowing down for extra traffic for KICK during KICK time ???

  • At the time of Hrithik Aamir Salman movie releases SRK fans spread negativity about their films then how can srk movie escape

  • Yeah @JS u r ri8. Indicine trying his best to protect HNY from negative comments.. Isse pahle wale post pe maine 5 cmnts kiye the without using abusive words.. Par @Indicine ne sirf 1 cmnt hi post kiya

  • today is last day of my net pack hope it will be last day of fake happiness for hny fans cuz kick collected more than 28 from tuesday the eid day and more than 20 on wednesday. match ur movie after first week and u will get huge kick from kick.

  • For the time ever, a nonsense article by Indicine!! Comparing HNY with Jai Ho!
    Jai Ho- non holiday, non festive release, lesser screens, normal ticket price, new comer not so beautiful actress, two controversies……
    Multistarrer with Deepika Padukone in lead, Diwali Release, 5000 Screens, 150 Crores Budget, First Three Holida Day Holidays, 10 months promotions. Yet it is gonna fail to break Kick’s lifetime let alone K3 or D3! It is gonna end up at around 210 Crores!! Shame!!
    Better compare with Pre Eid Release Kick starring Salman Khan, Jaqueline and Randeep Hooda starrer!!

  • my verdict on 3 khans:
    Aamir: king of ALL TIME BLOCKBUSTERS, NEW MILESTONES
    Salman: king of BLOCLBUSTERS AND 100CR CLUB
    Shahrukh: King of CLEAN HITS.

    TOO MUCH FUN……………………………………………………………………………………

  • These r fake figs. Correct fig is 12.25 cr. Dont understand why indicine people r increasing it. Even for saturday they increased ans said around 36 cr range. Later Red chillis posted 31 cr then indicine also changed it to 31. Why to giv big fig before knowing??

  • The fresh pairing ofImran KhanandKangana Ranautcoming together for a film titledKatti Battihas now officially gone on the floors. The film will be directed byNikhil Advani. Being produced by UTV motion pictures, after the firstday of shoot commenced, the makers shared a picture from the sets.Katti Battiis a unique love story about new age relationships and breaking up and making up in the world of today, the sort of contemporary romantic relationship never before seen on Indian celluloid.

  • Some idiots are saying HNY final would be
    less than 200 crore. What made u think so ??
    Do u expect a movie to do 20 crores on
    Monday too?? Are u outta mind ??
    HNY is going as per trend it is easily crossing
    240 crores.

  • i dont know why people keep on bringing boi over here. and boi figures are called as trade figures by them . who gave the certificate of trade figures to their estimations. grow up. i dont know when sense will prevail in their minds. indicine already published a article related to this but nothing changed.
