Hindi Films: Highest Single Day Collections of 2016

In 2016, domestic film business of Hindi films has crossed the 10 crore mark on 20 different days. Akshay Kumar (Housefull 3 and Airlift), Shah Rukh Khan (FAN) and The Jungle Book  dominate the list. Tiger Shroff has made his presence felt in the first half of the year too.

As the industry gears up for the biggest release of the year so far in the form of Salman Khan’s Sultan, the film has the potential to take all the Top 5 spots in its first extended weekend and could possibly take more spots in the Top 10 if it finds appreciation.

It must be noted that no film in 2016 (so far) has managed to make it to the all-time list of Highest Single Day. A film needs to collect 25 crore or more on a single-day to be eligible to make it to that list.

This page will be updated as soon as a film crosses double digits (i.e 10 crore or more) on a single day in 2016. Do bookmark the page and stay tuned for all the updates as we enter into the more crucial second half of the year – which is filled with biggies like Sultan, Dishoom, Mohenjo Daro, Rustom, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, Shivaay, Befikre, Dangal and more!

Key records:

  • Highest Single Day 2016 – Housefull 3 (third day, holiday)
  • Highest non-holiday Single Day in 2016 – Housefull 3 (second day)
  • Most number on mentions – Airlift and The Jungle Book (both collected 10 crore or more on 5 different days)
  • Oldest Day – The Jungle Book (Day 10)
  • Worthy mention – Tiger Shroff and Shraddha Kapoor’s Baaghi making it to the list on all three days of its weekend

  • Fan being the content oriented film is surpassed by no content film.

    Salute to movie goers choices.
    By the way I m a big akki fan .

  • The suprises of this year are JUNGLE BOOK,BAAGHI and FAN(disaster).
    Alot of people expected FAN to hold all the records in the first half of 2016.
    HF3 was also expected to collect more than 150cr and have a 20cr+ opening,150cr is still very much possible,but today’s collection will matter.

  • i am now really laughing on the opinion of pseudo intellectuals who rated a boring crap flop like DDD highly just becoz of director……

    N they r against a highly enjoyable hit Flick like hf3…..i hv issued burnol bottles for all of them……..

  • housefull3 rocking big time..…..!!..i already said its d best comedy Flick of d yr….

    .n it will remain d best comedy of d yr as upcomingcomedy Flicks like dishoom,, mohenjodaro n shivaay r xpected to flop badly at box office……!!!

  • Festival hai toh SRK hai Warna nothing.

    Real superstar don’t need festival Release And Limited movies to Put good collections nd Akshay is proving it so now u can decide who is bigger.

  • Sultan will shatter all records one by one not only this year but (highest single day of all time,highest first weekend of all time and might shatter lifetime records of PK)…fingers crossed.

    Btw, Shivaay will be among top 3 or even in top 2 of the highest opening day of the year.

  • ok now housfeul3 will collect around 90cr as 100cr is looking out of reach as ramadaan will hampers its collections and today is big drop so average at best nothing more

  • Akkis fav song
    Content ki maa ki
    Content ki maa ki
    aaj se puja karenge ..

    for past 4 yrs his films hv worked solely on content as irrespective of genre release date music trailer starcast etc his films nvr open to satisfactory amount

    bt its also a blessing in disguise as the emphasis is so much on content that even akki knows he has to do atleast 1 solid movie every year to keep his stardom alive

    end result
    2013- Special 26
    2014- Holiday
    2015- Baby
    2016- Airlift plus housefull3(funniest mass comedy in recent times)

    Rustom will also not open too well. Just average. Indicine comment section will again b flooded with queries about hit cut off semi hit range. 2nd weekend collection update etc. Akkians will yet again b chewing their nails and praying for it to atleast become a hit somehow. strong wom will ultimately make it a hit/superhit and the story will continue for all akki films till eternity

  • Housefull 3 Rocks
    Housefull 3 having Housefull at places like Delhi, Rajasthan, Punjab, Dubai, UK, USA
    And Karachi, Pakistan i am the eye witness when i faced problems for buying a ticket for Housefull 3 on Saturday night.

    I wish Housefull 3 will cross 100 crore

  • Housefull 3’s Sunday collections are just incredible.
    Looking like a winner now!
    Earlier I was predicting 110 crs lifetime now it can do over 120 .

  • Second half is very exciting as all the biggies like sultan(because of eid),mohenjodaro,Dangal and ADHM are going to release.

  • Hence proven that Akki is the biggest superstar amongst the actors whose films have been released in the first half of 2016. But the real and biggest film is to be released yet in XMas.
    Hindi Cinema live in the hope of Raju Hirani and Aamir films.

  • Don’t worry guys Sultan will break all possible record of all time. It must be all time biggest grosser.

  • Happy for Akshay and the entire team of Housefull 3.I don’t know why but comedy movies rarely get their due.It’s really tragic that some pseudo critics and award functions are so biased towards them.
    Anyways Akki is emerging as the most versatile actor in Bollywood.Want him to do one more comedy film with Priyadarshan.

  • Come sultan , dangal , mohenjadaro & shivaay……. all these so called records that u mentioned sab ke sab mitti mei mil jayyengge.

  • Come sultan , dangal , mohenjadaro & shivaay…….. all these so called records that u mentioned sab ke sab mitti mei mil jayyengge.

  • After SULTAN release none of these movies will be found in top 10 single day list. SULTAN will occupy all the positions..

  • Globally rejected film FAN is not a target to achieve for Hindi films this year.
    Main target for Hindi films to achieve THE JUNGLE BOOK lifetime collection of 185cr
    So stop comparing collection with globally rejected film FAN. Jo khud Mein flop film hai uske sath comparison is not fair

  • Others target 40cr on a single day.
    Akki targets 20cr on a single day.
    Still some chameleons blabber that ‘Akki rocks’ ‘akki rules’ and blah blah blah… LOL.

  • H3, TJB and Baaghi have done really well this year . Today’s collections of H3 becomes really important to give a clear idea about the lifetime collections . If it sustains well than it has an opportunity to surprise everyone . If it drops badly than the lifetime collections will not be huge as collections drop all over the weekdays . If it difficult to say where H3 is going . The first 2 days were good but nothing extraordinary but Sunday’s collections has given a huge boost and that makes it really tough to say anything . I did not enjoyed H3 but let’s see what happens !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Want HF 3 to cross content rich billu2’s lifetime collections soon! Because I can’t see anyone else rulling the 80cr club rather than our global bhagoda!!

  • @challa: 3 idiots got numerous awards in award function.
    Andaz Apna Apna is one of the most critically acclaimed films of Salman’s career. Same goes for Aamir Khan’s PK.

    Are you expecting films like Humshakals, Housefull3 and Entertainment to be appreciated by critics and jury of award functions? Surely, they are appreciated by Ghanta and Golden Kela’s jury!
