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.
So happy for Ajay, he deserved it! Now, if anybody says Ajay isn’t a Superstar, should stop kidding to himself. With this kind of opening and Ranbir’s last failure, he’s in top 5.
@Navin – Dhoom 3 did 30 crore not 35, on its opening day according to your favorite Box Office India, talk about double standards, LOL.
I knew it would do 25+ crore, a 30 crore opening would be huge!
Both Kick and Singham Returns had some advantages and disadvantages, so comparisons are inevitable.
No need to bad mouth Akshay friends. He’s going through a bad phase and every star has faced such period including Salman, SRK (early in his career), Hrithik, Aamir etc. He will be back soon, Rowdy Rathore did 131 crore in 2012 so we know his potential.
@aeeyy – No need for excuse, either. I guess Boss released on a Holiday, bakr-eid I guess. But, collected around 12 crores. It was result of his bad films prior to Boss. Holidays are important and so are various things like stardom, hype, music, expectations which Akshay decreased of general audience by doing bad films.
Both Warrior and Gabbar sound intriguing to me, so they can be huge blockbusters in 2015, also Singh is Bling should it be as good as Singh is King, so no need to worry, just wish he signs good scripts in future.
@indicine
Why have u moderated my comment which was a reply to @navin,but you approved navin’s 2:01 am comment in which he abused me first???
I really can’t tolerate this,that you have different set of rules for your favorite users!!!
@Babaji, sick and tired of all the name-calling here. From now on, every comment will either be deleted or edited (if we have time). No ‘Nipin’, ‘Bhojpuri’ or ‘Navin uncle’. Lets start tagging others with real names.. and this rule applies to everyone here. Thanks.
@shaggy
I thought you were a bit sensible salman fan,but i was wrong!!
Also singham return’s collections for even first hour was higher than marigold, a big lol!!
@navin: using multiple ids is not a big thing. Okay,i created taylor swift id. So what? I don’t think i have bashed any star with that id. Even some of your fanmates are misusing my id. What about that?
Look @shaggy. He is forcing me to talk against ajay. .
SALMAN fans are trying to create fan wars.
Ce realesed in 3500 screens and collected 33.12cr on its first day(30.50cr according to boi)
Why r u fighting for every actor we r audience and we only want entertainment…..

@indicine: and what about Nipun’s sexy review id? When i used taylor swift id(which isn’t even a bad thing,you revealed it. But when i ask about the id “Nipun’s sexy review”, you remain silent. Why dis double standrd?
@Nipun, we do not have the time to reply to every single request of yours. And do you really expect us to answer when you say “admin must be creating these fake ids?” and “shame on you”. Next time, try being polite.
@ajay rocks u r just too much….
now u should face reality…
do u have guts to say that it can collect atleast 19cr in day 2….
or 80 cr weekend…
or action jaction wii open with atleast 20cr

and u r calling hny trailor a CRAP…
all the srkians have guts to say that HNY will collect atleast 35 cr in single day, atleast 90cr weekend and atleast 160 cr first week which will be lifetime of ajay….
and all khans fans have guts to say these numbers for PK, PRDP and hrithik fans for BANGG BANGG…

@ indicine: Can’t you guys register your users in a way that only one ID will be allotted to one particular user and no one else can use that ID?? And please don’t publish the comments of the people which you consider are not suitable.
And for people who really consider indicine not good, please stop wasting your and our time by commenting bad against the website and stop visiting the website..
@indicin:well, before posting comments like “shame on u” or “admin is the person behind those id”, i posted 3-4 comments without any badmouthing. Then u ignored me and i felt disappointed and posted like that. My sincere apology towards u!
@Nipun, you can’t expect an immediate response from us. Different people moderate the comments. ‘Dynamic’ and ‘Chulli’ was the one who posted the review under your name. We can delete that comment if you want us to. Thanks.
Fabulous collections..!!!! Happy for Ajay Sir!!!! Also proved that the Chennai train was powered by the fuel called Rohit Shetty!!!!
lol..good to see some SRKians celebrating SR opening day collections..who themselves have forgotten that SR also has crossed the train from Chennai’s opening day record as per BOI..!!!! Also those calling D3 as fluke..wait till Christmas..atleast it won’t be like this 300crs bogus called Happy Old Year..asli picture 19th December ke din dekhne ko milegi..yaad rakhna..
bang bang will be 1st 40cr opening day despite clash with haider
180 lifetime, weekend 70 crore.
@Gabar,dude it is Ajey’s starpower who made Singham Returns biggest opener of the year.
Action Jackson will do 20+cr even with the clash of Akki’s Shauken.
@Kick ki jay ho,
Singham has the potential to collect more than 80 cr in the weekend and remember.
@indicinep: i was just expecting dynamic to do that. .even i said in a comment that it could be dynamic:D . Thanks for replying :D
@Indicine – Wow! Great to hear about deleting and editing name calling comments, of course we don’t expect every comment to be edited because of shortage of time. But, I hope you guys will do your best. There are some users who never use proper names ever, it’s quite irritating sometimes.
Also, it would be great if you could consider on Fahad’s suggestion.
@navin, u r rocking.
congo to ajay nd his fans good luck and welcome to 200 cor club
Ajay rocks its my open challenge to you that action jackson wiil not collect more than 15 crore understand u better understand .
