Ajay Devgn’s Singham Returns is set to break the 2014 opening day record set by Salman Khan’s Kick exactly three weeks ago. The film has worked big time in every centre across the country on Independence Day.
The opening was always expected to be huge in Maharashtra, but Singham Returns took an extraordinary start across India on its opening day at the box office. Even the business at multiplexes has exceeded trade expectations.
Early estimates suggest, the film has collected around 1.9 crore in Rajasthan (Kick collected 1.96 cr), around 1.15 crore in C.I (Kick did 1 cr), Mumbai circuit looks certain to be above the 9.5 crore mark (Kick 8 cr), C.P Berar is 1.7 cr (Kick was 1.43 cr), West Bengal is around 1 cr (Kick 1.15 cr) and East Punjab is likely to be 2.4-2.5 cr (Kick 2.6 cr).
When the final collections come in, the first day collections of Singham Returns could be somewhere between 28-30 crore, depending on how the Delhi/UP and other circuits have performed. Business in South India was affected by the release of Suriya’s Anjaan, but Singham Returns has performed very well in the Mysore circuit where masala entertainers don’t open well.
The comparison with Kick is unfair because the Salman Khan starrer released on a working day during the Ramadan period and still managed to collect Rs 26.5 crore on its opening day at the box office. Singham Returns had a big holiday like Independence Day, but had fewer screens and shows compared to Kick.
Singham Returns is set for a long run at the box office as the reports that the film is carrying is excellent. The masses are loving the film, the multiplex audience too are coming out in huge numbers to watch Singham roar in theatres. Sure shot hit!
Akshay Kumar’s Entertainment too has done pretty well after taking a slow today.
Note: These are early estimates published at 11:10 PM on Friday. Actuals will be published tomorrow evening.
Don’t compare with kick @Indicine already clearified perfectly btw happy fr Ajju my 3rd fab after SaLmaN Amir :))
@Shaggy, you are one of the best Sallu fans.
hats off to you.
@babaji, tushar could hav given 30cr opening with sequel(d3) but ur star akki had given 8cr opening with ouatimd which was a sequel of succesfull movie….lol.
for some people ra.one,jthj & don2 were hit all were holiday release but some people bashing akshay kumar’s holiday movie which didn’t get any holiday release though it was after ipl but we can’t say it as holiday release Holiday earned 112cr with normal ticket price and normal weekend still some idiots say it underperformed rip haters logic i’m confident akshay kumar will be back with bang Gabbar releasing on 23rd january 3 days weekend + monday 26 january holiday then u guys will came to know his stardom if get 4000 screens then epic
@tiger
Dhoom 2(2006) and Krrish (2006)…both were blockbusters without holiday release date….
Now you tell ur bhojpurian hero’s blockbuster without holiday!!!
@tigress: what were hits like ZNMD,AGNEEPATH,D2,KRRISH? ?
@ajey rocks, right now ajay is bigger star than sum papa’s boy nd sum self proclaimed sarkar. I meant only srk was almost finished before working with rohit shetty. Also at first i praised SR(my 1st cmmnt) then replied to sum brainless akki/srk fans.
@TIGER
Mission Kashmir opening >mohobbatein
Krissh biggest opener that time
Dhoom 2 broke the biggest opening day record of Krissh
Kites 2nd highest opening that time
Krissh 3 biggest nonholiday opening
These all are nonholiday openers
Now Khan fans tell me a single Khan starring movie except Dhoom 3 which opened to record breaking collection nonholiday
@quinshuk, ett released on 3000screens nd collected 31.25cr on its opening day but ce released on 3700screens but collected 30cr on its opening day.
But it might cross my prediction
It may collect around 31 cr
But it is way ahead than prediction made by Indicine

That guy@tiger is a moron who never talks sense. It’s expected as 80% of salmanfans are senseless n brainless. Look at this moron’s comment. He is trying to creat fanwar between hrfans n ajayfans.
and congratz to ajay fans for superb sucess of singham returns from akki fan
ajay deserve this sucess few idiot fans of salman are trying to create fight btw ajay and akki fans but i don’t care as most of sallu fans are useless lyk his movies zero class in his movies and they say akshay kumar as bad actor seems they didn’t saw special26, holiday, hera pheri, namastey london, garam masala, jaanwar, dhadkan and many other films no need to prove he is versatile actor look at this garbage salman zero acting just box office record’s that to useing holidays and his fans think he is best actor rip salman fans
@aeey, post IPL release is one of the best release date.
Ready no of s:2300 113 cr BB
Rowdo Rathore . ..2850 150 cr Bb
YJHD ..3050 178 cr BB
Holiday 3250 115cr only Hit.
then how do you explain this???
it is abvious that Holiday didn’t benefit his release.
@ajey rocks, read my all comments again, i hav never said bad about ajay sir. He is my 3rd best fvrite..
No dout bcoz movie is super
look like akki fans r jealous now. with Big success of ajay devgn.lol
@bhojpuri babajee 12:50pm Ullu ka pattha
I can imagine your Akki Sit in Dhoom 3 and bang it would have been a 15 cr opening, lifetime 110 cr and an end to a glorious brand which nipin believes was result of his jadoo sorry Ritik….! Well done Akki you have ruined not 1 but 2 brands in a single yr ir OUATIM and Dhoom..,
Fact is a yr ago your Akki on same day had the Independence Day holiday but poor strategy n poor script n crap acting meant film bombed..,. Holidays arent the be all and end all but it helps good films not bad rubbish ones…!
As for Kick and Dhoom 3- 25 cr and 35 cr plus respectively on a working friday but you dont know what that means as you sit outside temples all day long chanting mantras n slogans of ‘hail paglapur ka navin sorry Sarkar’ and ‘worship the greed sorry greek god ritik’
Lol…@tiger apne jaal me khud fas gaya..now he is yelling that he is an ajay fan too..ROFL
@aeeyy Khans dont hide behind holidays- as in reality its the actual holidays that hide behind them… Why you ask..,? Well seeing that you asked kindly let me tell you why- holidays (exhibitors) actually request khans to release their films on their dates bcoz last thing they want is your Akki Sir releasing his movies on their big day which will result in 50% lower collections.,,, holidays prefer the khans bcoz holidays know their have the real Starpower pull to draw audiences to theatres- something Akki Sir has been lacking past few years…!
@ajinkya
Great reply dude…salman has found his masala genre and he is playing too safe at the moment…
While all the other actors are doing different cinema and experimenting…
You can’t be called great if you stick to this masala all the time…
As i told earlier, Independent day is a huge holiday for boxoffice. Lost two independent day saw 30+ gross. Rohit shetty benefited hugely by Chennai Express and Singham is extremely liked in repeated television view. Especially among young viewer. but the most important, how Singham Return will hold tomorrow. If it do near 20 cr. then singham return is sureshot blockbuster.
This boxoffice result shows, how indian boxoffice is growning every year. Hopefully HNY and PK will do 40+ cr. a day.
@nipin senior noone is trying to cause a fanwar between ajey n ritik fans- plz hell no- it will be a massacre if it ever happened so thank your lucky stars the ajey lions have mercy upon you jadoo fans…!
Singham roaring
@Tiger,you said that Rohit gave a blockbuster even with Ajey.
anyway I think it was misunderstanding.
we are ok now.
