Salman Khan’s Prem Ratan Dhan Payo has recorded the second highest opening day collections of all time, as the film has collected approx Rs 41.75 crore net including collections from regional versions.
The official figures for the Hindi version is Rs 40.35 crore.
The much-hyped Sooraj R Barjatya film has failed to beat the all-time record of Shah Rukh Khan’s Happy New Year, which collected Rs 42.62 crore in Hindi and Rs 44.97 crore including collections from Tamil (0.92 cr) and Telugu (1.43 cr) versions.
Considering the genre of the film, the collections of Prem Ratan Dhan Payo are outstanding. Very few family dramas in the last few years have performed well at the box office and none of them have taken a record-breaking start. We have to go back to Jab Tak Hai Jaan in 2012, which released a day before the Diwali holiday and did reasonably good business.
Check out Top 30 all time highest opening day collections of all time.

hence proved that srk is king and salman comes after him.
Acc. Too many site is highest ever nd first 40 cr movie ..!!
Hey all, check this :https://twitter.com/CharlieKiMaarli/status/665047506762362881
SRK fanboy and most hated commenter, on indicine, @iamAKN has posted fake review of PRDP on IMDB. He did the same for PK as well.
As far as opening is concerned, according to BOI, PRDP is highest opener ever!
Plz srk fans ans salman fans..dnt start to abuse each other..its a very good opening just savour the moment..
Ps. I m srk fan..and to be honest it wouldn’t have mattered to me if prdp would have crossed it…plz dnt start a fan war again..an earnest request
am big fan of salman n srk…salman should consider releasing sultan on dewali..n am sure it will do 50 crore on a day..gud job though but was never impress with prdp tobbe honest..
Though i m salman fan but still with more screens it should have beaten hny disappointed
It clearly indicates that the happy new year’s collection were manipulated..As prdp has higher occupancy than hny…!!!
Srk plus Deepika plus boman plus masala genre plus massy songs plus item songs = 42cr. (HNY)
Salman = 41cr (PRDP).
Salman is the real king.
A must watch film..
Hahaha . 50 CR storm and few called it 60 CR storm as well. Where are those people?
I badly want a word from “Shaggy”, ” Chuha” and Naveena aunt. They claimed they will leave indicine if it fails to break HNY record. Come on, prove that you all are men of words.
500 Screens More.
Hiked Ticket Price.
Biggest Holiday of the Year.
Still failed to beat the opening day of a Film by 3 Crores that released 1 year earlier and was directed by Tees Maar Khan director.
Opening Day collection spells out STARDOM.
SRK in his “Worst” Phase >>> Bhai in his “Best” Phase
Dissapointing ! Period
Talaash is at No. 30. Being a neo-noir thriller and non-holiday release with less screens in 2012 it had opened better than Baby and GIB of 2015.
And then, these Makkhians compare Joker boy with all time megastar Aamir Khan. ? LOL!
While every other site says it has broken the record of hny bcoz hny’s record was manipulated.. Friday and saturday the test begins for prdp.. Sure to pass it i guess
HNY figures are fake as film releasing on 3800 screens cannot do 42cr.
Hats off too salman for not fudging figures like SRK.
Srk plus Deepika plus boman plus masala genre plus massy songs plus item songs = 42cr. (HNY)
Salman = 41cr (PRDP).
Salman is the real king.
hahahaha! bechara PRDP couldnt break last years HNY record with more screens and high ticket price!!!!
Now, Bhai Fans will say that BOI is authentic.
So according to BOI, Ek Tha Tiger didn’t cross 185 Cr. and Jai Ho didn’t cross 110 Cr.
We believe only on Official Figures.
Bhai Fans tend to deviate fro what they say according to situation.
#SMART
Outstanding awesome family entertainer getting these figure is awesone
If sultan would have released today instead of this then 50 crores would have been sure
Update todays occupancy
World know about HNY collection..! :-P
LOL :P EVEN WITH 500 MORE SCREENS AND HIKE IN TICKET PRICES
Who cares about these manipulated first day producer figures. We only follow BOI, which are the real ones with no biasedness.
Yes collections are extraordinary considering its genre,
But the fact that tickets rate are very high and biggest release ever the collections should have touched 45crs.
Movie has got mixed reviews.
Imdb-6/10.
Big question is how far it can go from here?? First extended weekend will do at least 125 crs. Then after that rest is WOM POWER
Also the budget is 140 crs.
I know Salman fans are in embarrassing situation. So I won’t embarrass them more. For all genuine Salman fans, why don’t you accept that SRK’s star power is at par of Salman, if not beyond him?
See, from now on whatever PRDP collects, whether it’s 300 CR 400 CR or 1000 CR, that will depend upon wom.
But opening day decides the capability of a star to pull the audiences. And with this collection, you would got your answer.
ONLY SRK RULES
PRDP can’t cross last year Diwali release HNY(178cr) mark my words
HNY’s collections were manipulated. The entire industry knows that.
KING AT THE TOP YEAHHHH
SRK is biggest star. First day collection is all about star power.
Accoding to boi its the highest opening day
Producers has not manipukated more in case of prdp
Because according to boi its almost 39 and according to producers 40.15 genuinity of salman movies collection
So Srks 1st day record is safe .
