Prem Ratan Dhan Payo records 2nd highest opening day of all time

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.

  • If is just very close around my prediction which I submitted in the contest..I hope this time the actual figure and my predicted number is the same or the closest..but nevertheless the opening day number is outstanding

  • PRDP Hindi Only Collections= 40.5 Crores
    Regional Languages Biz still being compiled
    O-U-T-S-T-A-N-D-I-N-G

    Aamir Khan & Salman Khan movies show similar BO collections both in Trade figures and Producers Figures.
    The only Genuine Ones…
    H-A-T-S O-F-F

  • if sooraj sir would have cut down the length a bit more the story would have been different..sorry sooraj sir its not 90’s any more..u have to learn it

  • It will cross 135 crore in 4 days huge 1st week in the cards.200 Cr definitely.how much from there is depending on repeat value.

  • Prem Ratan Dhan Payo smashed all opening day box office records as it grossed 39 crore nett on day one beating the previous record of Happy New Year by around 2.75 crore nett. The film hit new opening day records in Mumbai, Delhi / UP, East Punjab, Rajasthan, CP Berar, CI, Bihar and Assam. There was an Telugu and Tamil version of the film but that did not do well with collections of less than 1 crore nett.

    This is a huge number for this type of film as eventually its not the huge action blockbuster type of film despite the huge budget but its the second day that will tell the real level of the film.

    The day after Diwali is Vishkarma day and is the best day for box office collections every year so there will be a drop. Happy New Year dropped around 25% on its second day but it was a Saturday for that film while its a Friday here. The three day weekend record is around 101 crore nett by Bajrangi Bhaijaan and that should be the target for Prem Ratan Dhan Paya but may not be easy as Bajrangi Bhaijaan had a holiday for Eid on Saturday and then the normal Sunday holiday while here it is just a day one holiday and a small restricted holiday on Friday and the Saturday.

  • Pls Indicine team mere comments ko seriously lena aur ho sake to post kar dena….
    jaise gyaan batane se badhta hain…wahi hi pyaar batane se rishton mein mithas badati hain….

    apne parents ko dekh kar ,kam se kam ye sare fans kuch to sikhene!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Salman, SRK,Amir giving 35-45cr opening on holidays But look at our so called Superstar Akshay Kumar giving 15-20cr opening on holidays.
    This is call Star power.
    Other things depend on Content not on Stars.
    This is the difference between Khans & other Stars.

  • @indicine : I want all my comments to be published please. If not, please tell me what was wrong in those comments.
    01:14 , 01:20 and 01:23 pm comments are still not published.
    Please publish them. Thanks

  • Bhai Fans are like:

    If Collection is more – We believe in Official Figures.
    If Collection is less – We believe in BOI Figures.

    And they write the same thing on Indicine page which is also providing Official Figures.

    LOL

    Hypocrisy Level – Infinity.

  • 3 months back people were saying not even a dog would watch a TV Serial DVD in theatres. Now see, 42 crores have come out of nowhere. That’s Stardom. And about HNY’s 45 crores, in your dreams indicine, in your dreams. That shit ain’t true.

  • Indicine keep my tickets ready as I predicted 41.75 cr on day 1 with all version. As per trade it is 40cr approx. Highest ever. Thanks got Salman is no srk otherwise we will witness 45.30cr as opening just like we see CE 33.12cr, Hny weekend 108.5cr. I am still predicting with 35cr Dilwale opening day with clash. All hail official manipulation.

    But the reviews and public response is mixed so I don’t think prdp may past much above 200cr.

    Look big films with biggest crowd pullar on biggest day of business struggling to touch 40-45cr and Bahubali makers claimed that they collected 50cr on Day 1 on normal day.
    Incredible official collection.

    and Indicine is also great They are biased person, for CE,k3,hny there are with manipulated figure but if stars like Akki and ajay film has higher figure than trade they are exposing them. Where they are headed god knows, recent example PRDP review they written review like 3/5 and given 4/5 while outstanding movie like BB got only 3.5/5 despite being deserving 4/5 any day.
    stop reviewing man. When it comes to khan films they care about visitors and always try to neglect negative aspect, they review BB trailer but didn’t reviews Prdp and dilwale, why?

  • SRK with afailure director ,masala movie and in bad phase 45cr
    salman with good phase,sooraj, more screens ,high ticket prices 42cr
    now every one knows who is the megastar, who is crowd puller

  • Just one word “LOLzzz”
    Three Much Fun

    According to Haters & Salmanians
    Biggest Director of Bollywood
    Biggest Actor of Bollywood
    Family Power
    50cr Pakka (lolzzz)
    400cr Lifetime (lolzzz)
    Fun is Begun

  • If rajshari production house use red chille calculater then prdp collection 50 crore
    hny trade figure 37 crore prdp 40 crore
    Shame on you srk & srk fans

  • HNY
    1st day = 40cr+
    lifetime = 205cr
    Bajrangi
    1st day = 27cr
    Lifetime = 321cr
    PRDP
    1st day 40cr+
    lifetime = 405cr.. Mark my words @prdp @rajshri

  • The morning and noon shows were going excellent but by the evening reports tending towards negative side were out……so the collection fell too short than the expected……..today will see a fall about 40 percent…..
    So the king still rules as far as first day collection are concerned

  • Dear Bhai Fans, you have got only 2 Option:

    If you Believe in Official Figures, accept that HNY beat PRDP.
    If you Believe in BOI Figures, accept that SRK is the biggest star of all time.

    BHAI FANS ARE IN HUGE DILEMMA.

    Accept anything and its SRK who is on TOP.

    LOL

  • woh kya kaha tha Salmains ne 200cr weekend pakka (lolzzz) now they talking about Manipulation, BOI & saying according to this genre this result is Outstanding. Lolzzzz

  • HNY

    1st day = 40cr+

    lifetime = 205cr

    BAJRANGI

    1st day = 27cr

    Lifetime = 321cr

    PRDP

    1st day 40cr+

    lifetime = 405cr

    MARK MY WORDS

  • I was pretty sure Salman & Sooraj wont let Fox Star to manipulate figures just for the sake of creating records..

    #PRDP collects 40.35 Cr on Day 1 from the Hindi version. Highest opening day ever & the 1st film of Indian cinema to cross 40 Cr mark.

    Foxstar called it #PRDPHighestOpeningDayEver because they knew, entire Industry knows, King Deepika & Queen SRK’s HNY collections were highly manipulated one.
    #PRDP39HNY36

  • If rajshari production house use red chille calculater then prdp collection 50 crore
    hny trade figure 37 crore prdp 40 crore
    So prdp create history by trade figure
