Akshay Kumar’s Rustom has recorded the 4th highest opening day of 2016, behind films like FAN and Housefull 3. Salman Khan’s Sultan, of course, tops the list by a country mile and cannot be compared to any other film that has released in 2016.
Rustom has held strongly on Saturday too and the collections are set to grow towards the end of the day. If the film holds up, it could take advantage of the extended 4-day weekend at the box office.
Akshay Kumar now has 3 films in the Top 5, which includes Airlift and Housefull 3. In terms of occupancy, it’s the best opening for an Akshay Kumar film since Rowdy Rathore in 2012.
It’s also only the second Hindi film this year that can be categorised under ‘excellent’ because a total of 14.11 crore is outstanding given the fact that it was competing against a big film like ‘Mohenjo Daro’.

The media and intellectuals always underestimate this guy,chart him below khans,hrithik,ranbeer.
but he is the king of his own world,to enter that world is impossible task for others.
now jolly llb 2 and namete england take bumper opening,because both are content oriented movies.
salute ajay sir and king kumar for doing something different and also hrithik.
this time he failed,but he coke back soon
Burnol moment for hrithikians. Ab pata chala kaun hai bada star?
Just watched Rustom love Akki’s performance but movie is not that great..trailer promised a lot but movie is a just one time watch…lol who cares Akki won clashe :) and trying to find HR fans whose talking about 20+cr opening ??? My suggestion to you HR’s don’t say anything because its all depend on public…here i m nt even say That Shivaay will open 25-30cr because i just want to watch Shivaay…Respect hard work dont abuse anyone…only sallu fans can say that Bhaijaan ki movie record todegi because he is the only megastar
Waiting for #Shivaay
@Indicine
please do analysis article on last 10 EDX or maybe u can also add independence day in it……..it will also provide a nice comparison of who gets better released date ans what they get out of it
A good news about Rustom… 8 comments after hours.
Saturday updatr about Mohenjodaro gets 96 comments…
Talk about stardom
Fact is everything was going against the film from the trailer release. The only hope was Hrithik and he did brilliant.
The movie is very very good. Only if people stopped being historians and watching it as documentary…
Sad day for me and all Hrithikians..
No worries. He will bounce back like he always does…
All those people commenting sad for hrithik where were u when bang bang clashed small film haider?. Taking 2 years and making a bad product is no excuse so dont be sad for him Hrithik dosent need it.One bad film dosent matter for a superstar.
OUATIMD 1200 screens on it’s opening day still did 12+
And our megastar Hrithik coming after 2 years can’t even touch double digit on it’s opening day ???
That to with full fledged release
@A.B Rustom day 1 14.11cr
Mjd 8.87cr
Go live in denial but fact is Akshay is a bigger star than Hrithik and always has been…!!!
In overseas as well Rustom has defeated Mjd …!!!
Watched the film today, loved it !!!!!!!
Jadooians say thanks to your calculator which helped your duggu converting
175 to 245
140 to 181
Wish we also had this facility…!!!
@A.b bark as much as you can fact is k3 and bb Bo collections are manipulated
Even a 10-15cr difference is acceptable but a fcuking 70 and 41cr …!!!
Are u kidding me
It’s all the result of begging all the different stars to gang up against one man army. Shame. Pith piche se vaar karne me kya Mardangi? Shame on whole industry who simply can not see someone’s hardwork and most ambitious work and attach from the back simply because they are not capable to fight alone.
Rustom-e-hind Akshay Kumar
akshay is one actir who can not be compared to his contamporaries..His style of working is totally different..only one to do 4 movies every year..ho u can compare him with sumone who is doing 1 fulm in 2 years or even 1 yr…and that too on holidays…
Akshay fans… Please calm down….
Bang Bang, with abg review, competing with a critical acclaimed film earned 180+Cr.. That is still a dream for Akshay….
Mohenjodaro clashed with Rustom and earned 8.7 Crores despite the negative reviews, not so good trailer and clashing with a film that earned 14Crs…
Compare this to Baby, amazing trailer and competing with a film that crossed only 3.5Cr… Yet baby hit 9.6Crs…
So you better not talk about stardom…
Nobody will dare to clash with akshay now and infact he can clash with anyone now..I wish he comes on Eid with some massy film backed by big production house and top director with the likes of Katrina,priyanka or deepika..superhit music and then will see how much is the difference between him and salman..i think only srk and akki can give salman a fight on Eid..
he first packed sex comedies out of bolllywood by demolishing Kkkh and mastizade and now so called historical magnum opus..one man army and Mini industry
Never saw this coming…!!
Akshay is rocking…..Way to go Rustm!!
Havnt yet watched MD..That’s it except they show it on t.v.or Sony Entertainment…but will download Rustom very soon now!!!
Nb: feeling sorry for Hrithik. Just hope he does not release his next movie with Raees or even Badshaoo…let Kaabil be a solo release…big time solo please.
@sachin Why the hell we dont be historian for MJD ??? If they just want to show a simple luv story they can easily do that but they attached MohenJo Daro (an ancient city ) exceptions are sky high….youryour excuse is baseless btw havent watch yet MJd anwill watch it soon
@ Navin,
Beta, Tere Non Actor ko bol ek saal mein 3-4 movies karke 100 Crorea karke dikhaaye, INDUATRY SE RETIREMENT LE LEGA WO…
Akki is not dependent on festival like Your non actor does… Auqaat mat bhul Apni, Bete…
All these crap actors sux. Only bogg es st megastar Aamir Khan rocks. Dangal will shatter all records. No one can come close to the one man industry Aamir Khan. Aamir is Baap of all. He is the lion of bollywood. Dangal will shatter and smash all records.
#Dangal 400 cr
@makki 3:19 pm
Bhai openly supports Rustam still you are blabbering nonsenses on Bhai??? Namakharam kahika!
Yes Megastar Bhai can’t be compared to your greedy jokerboy. Because Bhai’s one movie’s collections>>>>makki’s 3 movies collections… Hahaha.
How dare you to insult Bharat Ratna Sachin Sir by comparing with your greedy gobar aka jokerboy???
@unmachable makki
Don’t you think releasing one movie each year & collecting 300+cr nett is better than collecting 300cr nett with the help of 3-4 movies???
When will your so called superstar will touch 150cr mark to be considered in the same league if Kangna, Ranbir & Ranveer???
@ The Pet Tigress,
Akshay’s Every Year Total Movies Collection Is 350-375 Crores domestic…
And, Non Actor’s Salmoron’s – 300 Crores…
Salmoron in nowhere near in comparison to total collection by individual of a year…!!!
Be in your collar and keep follow your Non Actor only, Got it…!!!
@unmachable makki
Let’s compare the total collections in each recent year of both makki & Bhai…
2015:
Bhai- 534cr.
Makki- 365cr.
2014:
Bhai- 347cr.
Makki- 185cr.
2013:
Bhai didn’t release any movie. Makki delivered 4 60cr grossers.
2012:
Bhai- 357cr.
Makki- 340cr.
2011:
Bhai- 270cr.
Makki- 125cr.
Now prove how does Bhai is nothing befor makki comparison to total collection by individual of a year!
At first let your floppy superstar to touch 150cr mark to be considered in the same league if Kangna, Ranbir & Ranveer. Then fight with their fans..
@ Tamed Tigress,
The field is open for all, One non star who has low stamina can poorly do single film in whole year and waits for Eid like a seasonal job…
Hahahahahahaha, Too Much Fun…
Ask Your Non Actor to release his 3 films in a year and all on Non Holiday… Chaddi geeli ho jaayegi, Samjhha?
Aur, Single Actor ke total collection ki baat kar, Bete…
Akshay every year tops with 400 to 425 Crores single handed and give too much to industry by alone…
Tere Non Actor mein dum hai to karke dikhaye 3 movies a year and those also on NON HOLIDAY…
But, You know what, He won’t do so…
Coz, Non Holiday par 100 crores collection dene mein zor chahiye aur wo bhi 3 back to back AUR HAAN, EID SAAL MEIN EK HI BAAR AATI HAI SO, BHUL JAA KI USME ITNI HIMMAT AAYEGI…
IN A SINGLE YEAR THE ACTORS TOP IN COLLECTION ARE AS GIVEN BELOW –
1) AKSHAY KUMAR,
2) aamir khan
3) salman khan
4) ranveer singh
5) shah rukh khan…
Ab fir yahi bolega Tu ki, Akshay needs 3-4 movies to remain top and I will again reply You…
YAHA BAAT KISI SINGLE ACTOR KE TOTAL TOP COLLECTION KI HAI EVERY YEAR AUR TERE NON ACTOR MEIN DUM HAI TO KARKE DIKHAAYE 3 MOVIES RELEASE… LEKIN WO NAHI KAREGA KYUNKI…
1) USKA STAMINA NAHI HAI, BUDHAPA HAI NA…
2) NON HOLIDAY PAR USKI AUQAAT USSE PATA HAI…
3) AUR, EID SAAL MEIN EK HI BAAR AATI HAI…
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, TOO MUCH FUN…!!!
@unmachable makki
Exactly, “The field is open for all”…Then WTH your makki doesn’t release his movies on Eid and collects 300cr/200cr??? WTH whole the day you makkians blabber on Bhai’s Eid releases???
Why should Bhai release 3-4 movies per year when his single release managed to collect equal to those 3-4 movies???
Abey dumbistani makkian, how did Airlift & Rustam bcm non holiday releases??? Weren’t they republic day and independence day weekend releases???
Hahaha….blabbering about Akki’s 3 back to 100cr grossers! Abey loggerheaded jerk, Bhai has already delivered 10 back to back back 100cr grossers back to back 200cr grossers and two 300cr grossers in consecutive years. Are those 3 100cr grossers record jokerboy is bigger than these all???
Akki’s highest collections in a year- 365cr (2015).
Bhai’s highest collections in a single year- 534cr (2015- BB & PRDP)
Now explain how does makki is ahead of Bhai in single year’s highest collections list??? Or you makkians think 365cr>>>>534cr???? Hahahaha…
You haven’t answered yet….When will your so called superstar will touch 150cr mark to be considered in the same league of Kangna, Ranbir & Ranveer???

NOTE –
Lallu depends on Eid, hiked ticket prices, 4000+ screens, no clash, extended weekend, no release for next 2 weeks…
Whereas, Akki has proved himself many times that HE IS UNDISPUTED KING OF NON HOLIDAYS…
Acting ki to baat karunga hi nahi, Warna Tu yaha comment karna chhod dega aur Indicine Team Tere jaisa talented aur knowledgeble User miss kar de, MAIN NAHI CHAHTA, LOLZZZ…
@ Tamed Tigress,
About releasing films on Eid by Akki?
Okay, Then try to understand the reason with your sick and tired brain, Okay Bhai…
1) Akki has been doing rigorously and continuously 3-4 movies a year from the first entry of him in bollywood and we are true fans of bhai and not like You 2010 made fans… So, He doesn’t care of any festival or depends on any festival to release his films, He has proved already that he can make able the films to get chunk of collections on NON HOLIDAYS… He is not like Your behna like seasonal job holder, LOLzzz…
2) Akki comes on Eid and do clash with the actor who doesn’t know Acting’s A even then the Non Actor will move back and will start requesting like ” Bhai, 4 badi films late ho Eid to baqs do, Kyu Mujhh seasonal job holder ke pet par laat maar rahe ho, Ye to chhod do Mere liye, Pura saal to Aapko de rakha hai, Bhai…!!!
3) Coz, The whole world seen the clash 2 times before and the results were, Garam Masala>Kyunki and Blue>Main Aur Mrs. Khanna… And, Let me make you remember in Mujhhse Shadi Karogi, Akki totally overshadowed behna (Who just came after Tere Naam with maha overacting in that)… So, Jerk… Same screen par to Akki ki personalty bolti hai, KABHI DONO KO SAATU MEIN KHADE HOTE DEKHA HAI, 5’5″ KAHI NAZAR NAHI AATA… HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…
@unmachable makki
Abey ghonchu, yeh decade 2007 se shuru hua tha kya??? Either start it from 2000 or from 2010.
Anyway, idhar- udhar ki baatein Sodd…Let’s compare Bhai & Akki’s whole career briefly. Sab doodh ka doodh aur paani ka paani ho jayega!!!!

300cr grosser:
Bhai: bajrangi bhaijaan & SULTAN.
Akki- isse toh 135cr bhi par nahi hota!!!
200cr+ grossers:
Bhai- 4
Akki- again ZERO… (Yet to match Kangna by touching 150cr mark).
