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.
There is no need to be surprised for such huge collections. First day advantages:
1.Independance day + Patriotic feeling
2.Holiday
3.Huge buzz from sequel factor(I have heard people talking about SR everywhere from college to restaurants to even schoolchildren)
Lets see how it fares on the 2nd day and weekend.
Salman has made his fans insane due to the hangover of 100cr,200cr…
He is doing it too easy,remaking south films,earning money,bas celebration time at bhojpur…
@nipin Hypocritical senior
The moron keeps saying bhai fans are senseless but asking him to explain the sense behind him dressing up as ‘taylor swift’ then he goes mute…!
Not just that he says we are brainless but then asking him to explain how he ended up getting into an arguement with this ‘taylor swift’ thus ending up looking like a fool/ retard he again goes numb n vanishes…!
some one akki fan comparing sallu bad period 2006 to 2008 with akki good period 2006 to 2008.
and if we r start comparing with akki. then akki goes far behind.
even akki not given 1 single ATBB. BIG LOL.
and blockbuster r less than ajay devgn. which is shame.
take one simple example
entertainment 1st weekend collection is 32cr is ajay 1st day collection of singham returns. 27cr.
just short to entertainment.lol
@navin Your hero is really nothing without eid n masala…
Remove EID n you will get jai ho…
And also he is so classless,does’nt knows acting at all…
Go n watch Mujhse Shaadi Karogi and see how Akki completely overshadowed your hero even being in a supporting role..such a shame,i suggest you to better join Aamir’s fan club as the real fan and not fake fan or better return to paglapur bcoz our king is a good actor…
@nipun no one want to creates war between hr fans and ajay devgn fans.
everyone knows ajay devgn is biggest star than hrithik.
hrithik is far behind than ajay.
yes u can compare Hrithik with akki.
lol
@tiger Loving the comments
@bhojpuri tiger
For you ready is a non holiday film releasing after IPL but HOLIDAY is an holiday release…double standard at its best!!!
Ohh sorry i am talking to a salman fan! RIP Brain!!!
@babaji and aeyy
last year akki got one Big holiday On 9 Oct (bakri eid)
akki BOSS movie was releasing on that day what happens
gives only 12 cr.lol
still akki is struggling to cross yjhd 19 cr and flop besharam 20 cr. look like lol
@ajey rocks, i meant srk nd ajay are in sam league so srk nd ajay both can giv blockbusters with rohit.
Best movie singham2
To all those ppl commenting here and havent even watched this film yet “I am afraid i have got some BAD NEWS” All u guys care about is collections and records and fight over it overlooking the quality of films that r being made .. This just encourages our stars to make mindless craps …
I watched SR first day last show at a single screen and trust me its a TOTAL PAISA WASOOL kind of film .. The crowd just went crazy over dialogues and action scenes .. Rohit’s mindblowing direction n Ajay’s high voltage intensity makes this one a very well made and A MUST WATCH film ..
Go njoy the film rather than fighting over records..
It is all about a sequel to a past blockbuster. and some fans say dhoom 3 collection credit goes to aamir lol.
dhoom 3 would have opened same with akki as the villian in place of aamir may be even more cuz that kind of role suits more to akki.
the biggest advantages for dhoom 3 according to me are.
1)7 years of gap from a blockbuster prequel.
2)blockbuster prequel & dhoom brand value.
as for SR, its lifetime collection credit may go to rohit but its opening day collection credit goes to the original singham not to ajay or rohit.
i am not a hater of anybody. i just say true facts.
This is called power of ajay SiR
HateRs shocks Ajay Rocks
Maja aa gaya,hope it will cross 200 crore atleast.will watch tmmrw
wow…!!!its a boom…ajay prove it that his power is not below then khans…if khans get bigger opening in holiday release then i also give bigger opening in holiday release….waw he prove it by himself….now next turn is akshay kumar…with bigger & best then any other star…best of luck
wao…
first day record of salman is broken in 3 weeks….
kyu FATT gyi……..
Great collections……Opening day collection(2014) record of No 1 Indain star(what his fans claim) by 5,6 ranked star
JTHJ prom launch with ETT and what’s happened ETT smashed opening day record went over 30 carore…..
after CE rohit ajay starer shingham did 100 crore in 30 days…. very slowly …
and what’s happened when srk did CE with rohit CE did 100 crore in 3days see the difference…
and now again srk movie happy new year trailer attached with singham and see the result its huge… means srk factor always works…
best of luck 4 singham return hope going steady
i have watched Singham returns last night, i am big fan of Ajay and he acts extremely well but the only problem with the film is its story, while watching once you have feeling that you are watching CID where sm one mureder and then police men solve the puzzle.
i was expecting much even Singham 2 tamil is way ahead of this new plot, if Rohit Shethy copy paste that story that will also be huge as Rowdy rathore :)
This proves that Chennai Express was huge due to Rohit Shetty and Team.
I don’t think CE had been surpassed 150cr mark without Rohit Shetty.
Without Rohit Shetty CE’s BO collection will be in the same range as Ra.ONE, DON 2, JTHJ.
For those fools who are comparing kick with SR,kick was not even a normal working day,if it was not ramdhan it would have crossed 30 cr mark even on working day,remember ETT which released 2 years back on same day that too during ramdhan collected 33 cr,compare SR with ETT n see who is bigger
So Singham returns 30 cr nett which is national holiday release actually broke national holiday release Chennai express collections 29 cr nett…While Singham couldn’t beat holiday record of ETT 31 cr nett …….though biggest non holiday Ramadan release record is still with KICK 26.5cr nett….& dhoom3 has still biggest non holiday Christmas period record 31.5 cr nett…so finally rohit shetti broke his own holiday collections of CE 29 cr nett by 30 cr nett…..LOL… ajay ne srk ki keh ker Le li..
AALI RE AALI AATA MAAJI BAARI AALI
28 CR OPENING, FAKTHH BAJIRAO SINGHAM.
Where were aamir n salman before release of gajni n dabang
There film tend to open 10-20% occupiencies n even less than 5%
Eg Mr and Mrs khanna, marigold etc
While hrithik movie always open big from his first movie
Akshay Kumar was superb in 2007-08.
Sab time time ki baat hai
Only consistent stars are hrithik and SRK
Whose movies always opened Big
@indicine warrior in 2016 but in 2015 wait for gabbar opening will be earth shattering
reasons:-
1)title-the tittle gabbar is so massy it wil benefit the film
2)akki’s fresh look for the first time akki is seen sporting full beard
3)akki’s fresh pairing with shruti
4)successful duo of akki and sanjay bhansali they both have given rowdy rathore
5)promtions-sanjay bhansali promotes his films really well
6)screen count will be huge
7)4 day extended weekend as republic day will be on monday and film is releasing on 26 jan
8)critically acclaimed and commercially successful blockbuster ramanna
wait for gabbar haters and he will rock the threatres
Guys don’t fight, esp. action films fans, as the fans of sarkar are hell bent on dividing others who don’t like teeny weeny girly romantic craps that their star is known to do for bread n butter.
they are still reeling with shock that their 300 magnum bogus hny is being thrashed left n right by neutral fans.
Celebrate the success of Ajay and Singham. Tujha Aaicha Gaavaat sarkar fans Ki.
Outstanding opening. I am sure no one was expecting this kind of opening. Congrats to all Ajay fans.
waiting for Bang bang and HNY would love to watch aamir on big screen too but pk not looking good movie to me.
@navin last year on independence day outaimd released on 1100 screens did 11+cr buisness that means 90% occupancy imagine the first day collection of outaimd on 3400 screens then just bcoz film got less screens and bad reviews ur pointing on akki’s stardom
