Highest Non-Holiday Box Office Opening

Here’s the list of highest non-holiday opening day collections. Aamir Khan’s Dhoom 3 is way ahead of all films, with more than double the business of Salman Khan’s Jai Ho which released on almost the same number of screens.

Hrithik Roshan’s Krrish 3 is second, followed by Salman’s last release Dabangg 2 and Ranbir Kapoor’s Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. Jai Ho comes in at No 5 ahead of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Ram Leela.

Shahrukh Khan’s last couple of films (Jab Tak Hai Jaan, Chennai Express) released on a national holiday. His last non-holiday release Don 2 is at No 7.

Last year’s Republic Day release Race 2 collected around 2.5 crores lesser than Jai Ho.

  • Dhoom 3 – 36.22 crore
  • Krrish 3 – 25.2 crore
  • Dabangg 2 – 20.98 crore
  • Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani – 19.5 crore
  • Jai Ho – 17.55 crore
  • Ram Leela – 15.73 crore
  • Don 2 – 15.2 crore
  • Race 2 – 15.12 crore

  • Jai Ho First Day Only 17.5 Cr in 4500 Screens.. Lol.. Even Less Than Kid Ranbir’s YJHD… RIP Salman and His Bhojpuri Fans..

  • Good News For Salman Fan:
    Film has picked up everywhere in multiplexes and single screens are on similar levels as yesterday. Since tomorrow is holiday I am expecting night shows to perform better than yesterday.
    Early Prediction 20Cr+
    This shows film is carrying positive WOM and Sunday will be huge.
    I hope Jai Ho does well (Sincere Love from Aamir & Hrithik Fan)

  • LOL! Some people are obsessed with Krrish 3 and its box office numbers. Just believe what you want, and let others do the same.

  • a personal take on the social message angle of the movie – why one has to help only three people…one should help as many people as he can through his efforts..however small they be…..
    but why this obsession with the number ‘three’….i will tell you why… because jai ho is a remake of stalin in which chiranjeevi preaches to help ‘three’ people instead of saying thanks….which in turn is copied from the hollywood movie “pay it forward” in which the lead actor asks ‘three’ people whom he had helped to further help ‘three’ people…. why Bollywood cant think something original at least in the social message perspective…..

  • RIP jai ho..
    @anand.. Dont worry abt paglapurians.. U rickshawalas just do one thing.. Buy a ticket opz two tickets(as prices r low) to watch ur bhojpuri superstar’s movie… So dat it can atleast collect more dan yjhd during d weekend…else ppl wil say suleman bhai lost to a kid.lol

  • @X

    those comments were real funny man!!!

    and some fans here saying… – “wom is excellent” …my foot !!!….

    loved that line..’ Agar Aapko haisa lagta hai ki hamne aap ki sirr dukhaya hai toh aap gaali math dijiye, instead cinema ke bahar 3 logon ki help kijiye aur unhe iss film dekhne se rokhiye’ ….killer !!

  • Lol…salman’s first movie after long time slightly underperformed than his Own movies people started to blabbering here especially Akki fan Aeeyy. Boss released on bakra Eid holiday 12 cr less than grand masti, tees mar khan released on Xmas lifetime was 60 cr less than MNIK. Action replay released in dewali lifetime 20 cr , blue released on Deewali 40 cr flop. How many more example u need Akki fans.

  • ‘Jai ho’ collected less than expected but its only the 1st day and content and all reviews r good so their will be no big drop of collections in coming days and still the movie can become blockbuster.

  • @X why r u so happy ? tell me which record Srk is having ? With ‘Jai ho’ release Salman is chasing Aamir’s record of Dhoom 3 not Srk’s record and at the time of CE it was Srk who was chasing Salman’s ETT and Aamir’s 3 idiots record.lol

  • oh so srk fans r here.. remember it is a january release n also a non holiday or festive release.. movie is awesome with great word of mouth n reviews.. so just wait n watch.. jai ho!

  • All are sh#t movies, maybe except ramleela. This is a joke of Indian film industry. No wonder they all get kicked out of the Oscar in the first round itself.

  • Jai Ho had a slow start at the box office due to low promotions.
    But the 17 crore first day is ONLY due to Salman’s presence.
    No holiday release. No top heroine. No great/popular director. No great songs. No tributes.
    Salman and just Salman!
    No other actor can give 17 crore with such a film release.

  • this is absolutely wrong info………Rowdy Rathore’s first day collection was way more than Don 2 and Race 2….Rowdy rathore collected around 15 cr day 1….don 2 12 cr and race 2 14.5 cr………..

  • why do people forget that Aamir gave record opening with Ghajini (no director, actress anything)…Aamir =Salman + entire hindi film industry

  • srk fans where are u people before CE hiding in DEN? just wait this will be blockbuster as well the cost of the movie is only 75cr with promotion so just chill for two weeks.

  • Dhoom day was so big that it completely overshadoes the holiday/non holiday factor. Poor haters of Aamir were barking that its Dhoom brand but they don’t understand the difference between a holiday and non holiday release. Look at Don2 collection released on same period with 2700 screens compared to 4500 screens of d3.with 60% more screens the collection of d3 is 133% more than 3.8 billion fans Star srk in 2 years difference on opening day. Final of don2 was 106 while d3 is 270cr+(hindi). I think i should not discuss overseas collection here they can’t handle and providing us if,that,were blah blah.so end of the day Jai ho collected 3cr less as i expecting from it. Hope weekend will be more than 60cr+ (i expected 65cr but it is out of reach now).Salman improve your vision,tastes and talent surrounding you. Because you are one star who is not a brilliant actor like ak,srk,hr,ajay but still a bigger crowdpullar than them but other talentless can’t made mark in audience heart like you did. That’s a fact.

  • Paglapurians hold onto your lungis tightly as Day 2 is bigger than Day 1 so by right Day 3 will be even Bigger… Thank god the news on Thakurs fight with a door didnt hinder the multiplex audience too much as they are now coming out to enjoy Republic Day with Jai Ho…

  • @sachin11 Dont worry buddy Im back and raring to tackle head on the Mighty State of Paglapur and its soldiers/ slaves who are forced to wear a lungi instead of a uniform…!

    The anti bhai comments have riled me and that buffoon TS had the audacity to call me out- enough is enough- the kiddie gloves are off and no more treading /tip toeing around the sentiments /feelings of lungiwalas these past few days who were upset/ worried as to why a door would attack their king…. Well maybe its bcoz Thakur likes ‘hard wood’ and was harrassing the poor door…? Or a simpler conclusion could be that Sarkar injured himself whilst simply trying to turn the knob of the door…! Such frailty in this age means Sarkar should now retire and let his choosen heir Shreyas Talpade take the throne..,!

    Its clear for all to see that the abuse on Jai Ho pages directed at us bhai fanatix means lungiwalas are no longer praying for thakurs recovery but praying mad like swamis/ imams do for bhais downfall..!

  • Lol navin, we don’t need to pray for Bhais downfall. He brought this in himself. He shouldn’t be doing the same type of movies and remaking films from the south again and again. And some fans of Salman are comparing Jai ho to classics like 3idiots and munnabhai. If u call Jai ho a classic, so is sunny leones jism 2!! And don’t worry about srks sexual tendencies and motives. We are not here to do a report on the sex lives of Bollywood stars. We are here to evaluate the box office performances and Jai ho has screwed up badly. 18cr on non holiday for your so called Salman blockbuster khans film is good if it released in 2500 screens, not 4500. And just because your so interested in the sex life of Bollywood stars, here’s an interesting fact. Bhai called himself a virgin on koffee with karan. Does he think that all Indians are morons and duds to actually believe that shit or do you think he really can’t do anything in bed?!? :P maybe he needs to pills or something. That would make him perform better in bed. A man with a huge body shows his marddhani by beating 50 ppl on screen but cannot show his mardhaani on bed with a woman. I pity the poor creature. Stop spending your time pondering over srks sex life and get a life!!

  • And your saying I had the audacity to call u out. What’s so big or special about u that I shouldn’t call u out!! Chal! Go and watch your stars south remake instead of commenting. And if u watch one of his films, that would be enough, cause every film he does is almost the same. Déjà vu everytime u go to theatres to watch salmans films!!

  • @Total Scum- you miserable sod- did sarcasm pass you by in school….

    I suggest you watch that episode again and realise it was all fun n games… Pay close attention to the bit where Bhai says to Karan in response to his Q:- “if you had to have a gay encounter who would it be with…”

    Bhai like any normal mard wont contemplate entertaining such a scenario EVER unlike a certain crap star but jokingly replied:- “well to make you happy Karan I would say you” but what he meant was “if Thakurs okay with sharing you then it would be you Karan…Wink wink

    We all know hidden beneath Thakurs lungi lies a dark dirtay secret and that secret eminates from Dharma offices… Get a life and check your facts- Im calling you out for the closet bandit you are… Take your new bhojpuri pal ‘@sss snake sex specialist’ and experiment with new toys and experience new fetishes…! :-P

  • @sss for the last time leave Rohit 3 well alone- its much better than that comical pile of crap called Don Wannabe 2….

  • @TS trolled…… Come back when you grow a set and google your sarkars past misdemeanours as you will be shocked to see how many casting couches he slept on in the 80’s….

  • @ SSS : Yo are fighting for Don- 2 …he he hee heeee heeeee….worst movie …you are comparing it with K3 which was benchmark movie…check with doc…
