Back in 2013, when we did a similar article, big films were crossing the 30 crore mark at the box office. But in the last couple of years, on a major holiday, 35 and 40 crore on a single day has now become possible.
Happy New Year and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo are the only two films that have crossed the 40 crore mark on a single day – which also happened to be the biggest day for film business in a year i.e the holiday for Diwali.
Back in the day, Hrithik Roshan’s Krrish was the first film to collect Rs 5 crore on a single day and Ghajini was the first film to go into double digits. 10 crore plus opening has now become ‘normal’ even for films featuring the young stars in the country. But back when Ghajini released, it was earth-shattering.
In 2010, Dabangg came and conquered the box office. For the next couple of years, Salman set the record with his Eid releases – Bodyguard became the first film to cross the 20 crore mark and within a year, Ek Tha Tiger smashed every box office record by becoming the first film to accumulate 30 crore on a single day.
Dhoom 3 did the unthinkable by collecting 35 crore plus on a non-holiday.
Single day milestones:
- 5 crore – Krrish (Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra)
- 10 crore – Ghajini (Aamir Khan, Asin)
- 15 crores – Dabangg (Salman Khan, Sonakshi Sinha)
- 20 crores – Bodyguard (Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor)
- 25 crores – Ek Tha Tiger (Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif)
- 30 crores – Ek Tha Tiger (Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif)
- 35 crores – Krrish 3 (Hrithik Roshan, Priyanka Chopra)
- 40 crores – Happy New Year (Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone)
In the next few years, it’ll be interesting to see which film will cross the 45 and 50 crore mark on a single day. 50 crore will truly be a massive achievement!
2001-2020 both decDes belong to AAMIR. He is biggest Megastar ever.
@Komal Nahi Nahata, well said.
For everyone who thinks Roshans fudge their movie collections and BOI admins are Gods and BOI is a bible….here is a little proof for you about how they did to Krrish 3’s first Monday collections…
1.While Krrish 3 released

so now what you have to say..? Especially @Sunny Akkiholic, @Fasal Kerala and @Navin….?
Don’t you think BOI purposefully under reports Hrithik’s movies…? The proof is right in front of you….
So now list changed-
1. Salman- 3 movies
2. Hrithik- 2 movies
3. Amir/Srk- 1 movie.
@ Indicine- From today if you believe in hny’s opening day you should believe in Krrish 3 lifetime and msg 1&2 official collctions by gurmeet raam rahim singh Insaan.
@ nipun- Humshakals 2 was me.
Sultan Daywisw collection –
45 crore
34crore

Total worldwide gross – 900+
Bhai is such a big Megastar that all his movies in last decade took record breaking openings such as 5 lacs,10 lacs, sometimes 2 lacs, 1 cr, etc.
Bhai is such a big megastar whose magnum opus JAI HO took record breaking 17 cr opening with 4000 screens. Epic.
Bhai is such a big megastar that he has smartly started following the strategy of doing back to back south remakes after following his guru AAMIR.
Bhai is such a big megastar that his all movies released in 2008 combined couldn’t match debutant Imran khan’s movie’s life time collections.
Bhai is such a big megastar that he is the only one whose almost all Diwali releases were underperformers.
Bhai is such a big megastar who is still hiding behind a shelter called eid and gives record opening only on pure eid holiday and yrf/kabir/Katrina, etc.
Bhai is such a big megastar that he has 50 flops out of 75 films, which is highest among all superstars of the generation.
Bhai is such a big megastar whose Marigold crossed epic 1 cr life time in 2007.
Bhai is such a big megastar who has no thriller genre in his 25 years old career and despite having highest number of films ‘among superstars.’ (Note, Akki and ajay are not superstars so I clearly mentioned that “among superstars”.
Bhai is such a big megastar that he has given talented actresses like daisy, zarine who are working in films like hate story, etc.
Credit to this Megastar…..
Also few more points i missed to mention about the legwndery megastar bhai.
Bhai is such a big megastar who has never won a single clash and lost to everyone such as ranbeer, akshay, ajay, srk, fardeen, etc.
Bhai is such a big megastar that even with a legend megastar Amitabh in film called god tussi great ho lost clash against then new commer ranbeer.
All credit goes to this Megastar.
Look at the desperation of Gareebo ka Excuses, he has totally scrapped off SRK’s name from the dominancy of 90’s and 2000’s. Sallu gave 6 back to back flops in the 90’s. If SRK is having a low phase now how was Sallu faring those days? It even doesn’t take a kid’s IQ to figure out that SRK ruled in the 2000’s and 90’s. But Bhaitards (like Yuvraj who has gone Bawra) have become so desperate that they have started living on Indicine trying to prove how dominant Bhai was. Yeah we know Bhai’s dominancy, he even lost to a female lead in Hero(multistarer) vs Fashion clash. We better not talk about other clashes!!
OOps sorry, ‘Heroes’. Must have been a masterpiece, haven’t seen it.
@ABHAY ANAND Thanks for sharing this article..OMG..I m shocked to see indicine’s replies…they have put hrithik on 1 nd Akshay on 2 despite Akshay having better average.
Indicine is calling hey baby a mutistarrer just because of fardeen nd ritesh :-P both were nothing at that time..nd also their other replies like Akshay can’t do a tare zameen par nd chak de India…shocking!
Now I want to ask can Shahrukh give an offbeat superhit like Airlift?
Always put Akshay behind then Khans nd hrithik even in family following where he leads to hrithik nd amir.
