Jai Ho First Day Box Office Collections: Early Estimate

Jai HoJai Ho has collected around Rs 17-18 crore at the domestic box office, as per estimates based on collections from a few centres. The film has done well at single-screens, but the response at multiplexes is quite similar to Akshay Kumar’s Boss.

While evening and night shows did witness decent growth in business, the footfalls (number of people who watched the film) at multiplexes was less than 50% of Ek Tha Tiger and even lower than films like Dabangg 2.

Extreme cold in North India also seems to have affected the film, as the occupancy in circuits like East Punjab, Delhi / UP was the lowest for a Salman Khan starrer since Veer.

When the final collections come in, the first day collections of Jai Ho could be around the same level as Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela, which sold fewer tickets but collected about the same due to the fantastic response that it got at multiplexes.

The opening day business is way below trade expectations, so the film has pick up tomorrow and on Sunday for it to have any chance of recovering its high costs. The producers of the film have already made huge profits, but if the film doesn’t pick up, the distributors might end up in the red.

On the bright side, the reports from theatres is good, probably the best for a Salman Khan film since Dabangg (2010).

  • It has a wonderful message. The film is carrying a Great WOM. It will definitely pick up over the weekend & will eventually become a Big Hit!

  • Acc to boi(where khans preferred during k3 release),jai has collect 15-16cr
    It is now confirmed than khans,Akshay and hithrik have the same stardom and all depends on perfect release date.

  • And you know that ticket prices were on the lower side, don’t you? The average ticket rates weren’t as hiked as CE OR D3. So it was bound to effect.

  • if the collections are same as ram leela which also released on a non-holiday..then thats quite shameful for the “most popular” star in India whose film is coming after 13 months.

  • Lets see what actual reports says!
    Forget about CE or D3
    it will be haed to beat YJHD opening and weekend collection

  • It’s natural because since CE relase Salman fans is supporting other fans
    first its besharam, then they support krrish3 then they praised dhoom3 but forget all about bhai
    poor bhai fans

  • YJHD scored 20 cr. With 3000 screen in non holiday
    it will be shameful if salman doesn’t beat that with 4500 screens

  • movie is awesome.. reports too are brilliant.. opening day would be around 20 crores, which is good for a january release n a non holiday or festive release.. the movie will garner big numbers in the coming days.. it is one of those movies which will have rock steady collections throughout its run n will definately have repeat audience.. 6th blockbuster in a row for salman.. jai ho!

  • I saw this coming because there wasn’t much hype around it, still surprise though. Lets see if WOM can help the movie, still not bad collections.

  • Hahaha. He released his movie after one and half year with all those old remake ideas and crap masala sequence and what did he get in return?? Baba Ji ka thullu..khe khe khe..!!!
    Again I am reconfirming my words. It won’t cross hundred crore on Indian B.O. Now read the excuses by Salman fans. Believe me, no need of watching comedy nights with Kapil. Their comments will be funnier enough to entertain all of you.
    @indicine: At least you don’t give some lame excuses. I think you forgot D3 so soon?? The intensity of cold was much bigger than now despite that it managed to thrash every record. Its all about star power, which lallu has lost. If a movie is releasing on 4500 screens and collecting 17 cr ,then it’s a big shame. Means if it would have been released on the Same screen numbers as ramleela ,then , I think it would have struggled to surpass Imran Khan’s films collection. LoL.

  • way below dn expectations..now it needs big growth on sat nd sun ..200cr looks difficult bt yea it will do above 150 coz WOM is positive

  • hahahahahaha !!! only 17 cr????shame on lallu with the tag being bigges superstar in india and collec just a 17cr????? please retire soon with tingu. and with 4700 screen hahahahah

  • hahahaha where are bhabhi fans now :D who said SRK is nothing in front salman… salman dont need promotion blah blah blah… public showed who’s the biggest superstar of india i.e. SRK (dont count aamir as dhoom is a very huge franchise) … dinda6 has already attempted suicide 11 times

  • WOM is much better than ce, d3,k3. So movie gonna definitely pick up. Collection doesn’t matter movie is awesome.must watch

  • u r cmparing ticket price…
    y dont u cmpsring d no. of screens….
    ce3600
    jai ho 4500 approx
    sooo dey both neutralize…..
    so clrlyy ce is winner

  • ITS BAD NEWS FOR SALMAN FANS COZ HAVING A WIDEST RELEASE EVER COLLECTION IS SO MUCH LOWER …
    BUT I THINK ITS MAIN REASON IS SALMAN AND SOHAIL AND PRODUCTION MONEY MINDED THINKS ..
    IF THEY WANT THEY CAN MAKE THIS A PURE SOCIAL DRAMA ..WHICH WILL BE SO GREAT BUT THEIR MONEY MINDED THINK MIX THIS WITH CRAPPY MASSY THATS WHY STANDARD OF MOVIE GONE DOWN ….AND I ALWAYS SUPRISE STAR LIKE #salman why play south remake just … is it give him comfortable feeling about movie coz ORIGINAL IS ALREADY BLOCKBUSTER IN SOUTH …. WHICH IS SO SHAMEFUL AS MY VIEW ..
    AND ITS AGAIN PROOVED EVERY STAR HIS TIME ..this 17cr with 4500 screen and star like salman coming after a year is not justice …
    so salman fans u need to worry now
    i am srkian and my boss #srk always perform good weather its bad phase or good .. in holiday or not ..in big release or not …
    thats why he is always king of #bollywood
