Aamir Khan’s Dangal has taken the second spot in the final list of highest opening day collections of 2016. However, like 2015, Salman once again tops the list and the gap between him and the rest is growing - as far as the sheer pan-India box office pull on the opening day is concerned.
When it comes to footfalls, from the theatre samples we have at the moment, Sultan sold around 35% more tickets than Dangal on Day 1. This is due to higher ticket prices and the fact that multiplexes are performing better for Dangal, while Sultan had the advantage of partial holiday for Eid along with the film being more commercial and hence appealing to a wider section of the audience.
This year, no film has managed to take a ‘record-breaking’ opening. Sultan is the only film to take a ‘bumper’ start, followed by films like Dangal, MS Dhoni The Untold Story, Rustom, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil and Baaghi – all of which took ‘Excellent’ starts.
The biggest disappointments this year were Hrithik Roshan’s Mohenjo Daro and Ajay Devgn’s Shivaay.

Dangal can suprass lifetime of sultan.

#ThatsCalledStardom
#RestDaysContentWorks
If we include Demonistation factor and no commercial value and non-holiday dangal opening is bumper
Fantastic opening for Dangal. But I still believe it won’t cross 300crs. Sultan will remain HGOTY.
dangal all the way
DANGAL IS OVERRATED!!
Dangal Will DepenD On Only Word of mouth ..
100cr weekend on now for Dangal n 300 plus lifetime.well deserved
The current hysteria of salman will make other actors look very low in front of him
Haighest day 1 belong to king srk hny 45 no can break exept him
Happy New Year – 44.97 crores
Break that bitches.
Many people’s are saying aamir came after 2 years that’s why it opens 30 cr than what abt Mohenjo-Daro
Salman+Aamir=Bollywood
Agar DANGAL Jaise Film 59L Kiya hei Tamil,Telugu mein(also solo in south) to KAABIL Ka dubbed version kitna karega???(Sigham3 also on jan26)
HNY&Dilwale holds the highest day one records in India & overseas respectively.Even in SRK’s so called dull phase his stardom is untouched.
Dangal Can now cross 300cr because wom is Extremly positive.Weekend 100cr first week 170cr Second week-70cr rest of week 60cr..That proves Amir Khan is bigger star than salman followed by Srk in this decade.People Trust him Blindly.
Todays Standing of Superstar
1-Amir Khan
2-Salman Khan
3-Srk
4-Akshay
5-Hritik
6-Varun
7-Ranbir
8-Ajay

Always remember that dangal was not commercial and masala movie like dangal. And non holiday too. So bumper opening award goes to Dangal.
Happy New Year ka opening day record toota ? Nahi na? ???? ?
Only srk and salman are true megastar one g
Average year with only two* 300cr+ grosser (Dangal* and Sultan)
Zero 200cr+ grossers.
Six 100cr+ Grossers.
Many movies which were expected to collect 200cr+ or 150cr+ have failed (Fan, Shivaay, Mohenjo Daro)
Next year looks better, lets hope for the best!
All time record Is Coming On Sunday, and is going to above 40cr first time in trade figure
Only srk and salman are true megastar one give always be opening and weekend record and 2nd brock all lifetime record
Dangal, not more entertaining!
Salman gonna win this!
Dry spell finally ends. Hope Dangal pays off its crews’ hard work, and hope next year be much better than 2016 for the Indian cinema industry.
Happy holidays
dangal 29cr working day
sultan 36cr holiday
dangal will beat pk record
Sunday will be 40cr to 42cr
No big banner, no big director, no big heroine no big co actors, NO HOLIDAY still collected aprox 30 cr on 1st day with off beat movie during demonitizarion making it 2nd highest non holiday 1st day after Aamir own dhoom 3 which collected 36 cr
