Happy New Year has destroyed every box office opening record on its first day at the ticket window. The film has not only managed to beat the previous collections of Dhoom 3, but has surpassed it by a huge margin. The first day collections of Happy New Year is Rs 8.75 cr more than the opening day (non-holiday) collections of the Aamir Khan film and Rs 6.94 crore more than the previous highest single day.
It goes without saying that Happy New Year is now officially the biggest opening for a Shahrukh Khan film too. Previous record was held by Chennai Express which also opened to record-breaking figures of Rs 33.12 cr.
It will be interesting to see if Happy New Year can take all the first three spots in its first weekend. It has to collect 38.04 cr or more on Saturday and Sunday to do so. Looking at the opening on Saturday, it should!
Highest Single Day Collections in Bollywood
- Happy New Year – 44.97 (first day)
- Dhoom 3 – 38.03 (third day)

SRK is the king of Bollywood
Pared saudhaan
Pared salute kar
@Indicine why are my comments not being published?
@MKM and others, please be a little more patient with comments. We are getting too many of them. We are doing our best here. Sorry for the inconvenience.
@Suniel – My superstardom is now in the gutter. :( Only my fans will say otherwise.
HNY first 300 cr movie
king SRK
indicine, what about saturday collection?
No need to say it will remain unsafe at least for next one year.
Numbers are huge and no other movie seem to have this much potential to break this record in nearest future.
@indicine: Any update about overseas collections?
Kick was a non holiday relase and distribute by UTV.
bt hny relese on the biggest holiday of Indian cinema and also disturbe by yrf
it is realy a fact
Still cannt believe….indicine can you post any fugures from our country, nepal ? Just want to know
@sunil jai ho and kick both r non holiday release.
so plz don’t compare.
ok ur srk fan is releasing on 14 aug non holiday.
u will definitely remember that day.
tell me srk last non holiday release….
in 2009 mnik.
@indicine post this cant tolerate…
If kick was relesd on eid day then day 1 52 crs so shut up these things dnt make any sense kick team were not lukng for recrds
So today also it opened huge as per indicine.. Wow.. So more humilation to haters…
Oh yes.Our king has done it.It made us happy.Our king utilized the advantage of holiday release with highest number of screen and we are happy that hny released on holiday and not in pre diwali or before festival like kick and dhoom 3 which made this opening day record possible
PK will bring the legacy of Aamir Khan back…this record is just matter of 55 days…when SRK can do this why not aamir..PK just need to ensure that they release in at least 5200 screens in India…
Last time CE record was broken by K3 & D3 in 1-2 months time….
However 44 crores is a good achievement, congrats SRK fans….
If Kick would release in same date,
collection of Kick would be 55cr on first day only on salman’s power in same screan.
If salman promote Kick in grand way Kick could collect 70cr on first day.
44cr is fare for your hny on post diwali release but not fantastic with cast like srk, deepika, abhishek and by grand promotion.
But still hny will be dump in upcoming day.
Kick would collect 44cr without promotion and multi cast on post diwali.
Wait for bajrangi bhaijaan and PRDP.
BB will be 60cr on first day
PRDP will be 70cr on post diwali.
Mark my word
Around 40 (Hindi) – BOI
As per early reports, today also all shows are running packed. Anything above 35 cr would be a bonus for HNY.
Entertainment..!! Entertainment..!! Entertainment…!!
5Kscreens, TOP actress,MULTI starcast, MAX promotions,HUGE festive holiday & STILL needs MANIPULATION to touch 40. this is SRK for you.
i mean after krrish 3 now hny did 6 crore manipulation from opning day. 100 crore manipulation expected lifetime. srk is king in doing such cheap things cuz he is not a man actually he is baazigar who survive just becuz making fool others by his trics.
Still many records will be created as today and
tomorrow are festival holidays so film will
make atleast 80 crores more so 125 crore weekend
is for sure.
Please read “safe” instead of “unsafe” in my 12:36 pm comment.
Apologies for the inconvenience caused.
Thanks :)
wow king is back again
kick+ jaiho = 16 + 26 = 42
hny= 45 king rocks
@aamir khan such me shahrukh to tera bap nikala
King. King king king king khan
@Aamir khan we should not say like this coz aamir was also baap of our king during dhoom 3 time.Always use clean words during commenting coz millions of people reads your comments
@Indicine. Looking at the opening on Saturday. It should. Wow sounds interesting.
Congrats to all srkians.
When early estimates were released all other people started to bark. But we SRKians knew that the early estimate was just the trailer. PICTURE TO ABHI BAAKI THI MERE DOST
