The advance booking of Sultan has opened across the country on Sunday and the response is TERRIFIC. Some shows have been sold out in a matter of minutes.
From the initial reports that are coming in from various exhibitors, the tickets sold in advance in a few hours is more than all films this year. And we are comparing the entire duration (until Thursday night for films that release on Friday) to a few hours of Sultan.
By the time the film releases on Wednesday, Sultan would probably sell 2 to 3 times more tickets in advance, as compared to all other film releases this year. Some are already calling it the ‘best ever advance booking’.
Sultan will also be playing on a record number of shows at multiplexes, with some multiplexes ‘only’ playing Sultan – Wednesday onwards. At most 3-screen multiplexes, all older films like Housefull 3, Udta Punjab, Raman Raghav 2.0 will stop playing after Tuesday, to make way for Sultan. At multiplexes with higher capacity, Sultan will be playing on a record number of shows.

The response, in just a matter of a few hours, is unprecedented. We don’t usually do advance booking reports so early, but never before has our inbox been literally bombarded with messages expressing euphoria over the response to the advance booking of a film.
There hasn’t been a film that has really set the box office on fire at smaller centres this year. At quite a few of these centres, Sultan could be setting lifetime 2016 records on its first day itself – i.e more people watching the film on Day 1 as compared to lifetime of other films.
Sultan Ticket price comparison with other major films at a PVR Multiplex in Mumbai – NIGHT Shows (Note: Ticket prices can vary at other theatres)
- PK – Rs 500
- Sultan – Rs 480
- Bajrangi Bhaijaan – Rs 460
- FAN – Rs 450
- Happy New Year – Rs 450
- Kick – Rs 450
- Normal Weekend Prices – Rs 360
A more detailed advance booking report will be published on Tuesday night. Stay tuned to Indicine.
SULTAN will cross Airlift collection (which is highest till now) in just 4 days….mark my word..
Salman+YRF+Eid is match made in heaven,expect another Blockbuster from Salman.
Guys Salmania is Coming With Bang
Will Rocking d Eid Wth Immensely….
Bhaijaan Bhaijaan Bhaijaan……
sultan will be ATBB and collection of 1st day will be 50cr+ sure
Sultan is like running lonely in running race and shouting I am first
The RCE calculator for HNY becomes even more glaring and obvious now … Sultan should be 60cr as per that … blatant lies bought by all sites including Indicine …. very very shameful and that all sites are playing along makes every word, comment, analysis here as motivated
Big blockbuster on the way and its too much fun that salman hater will burn more spl xzone , fesal and sss
The response is unbelievably high, but few morons still think it will flop….keep dreaming haters…
make way for sultan
Best of luck. Will be in UAE will watch film there. Pleased with the response. God bless you Salman and the whole team.
The hype and response is huge (never seen before), now it’s only need content to click, if it is good then all records will be gone and Salman will set new Benchmark….
Anything beyond 50 cr 1st day would be disappointing. Want it to beat All 1st day record. As ticket prices are higher, sultan should beat crappy hny. Otherwise I would stop being Salman fan #kehdiyatohkehdiya
@ kalli first u should same on you that after partail holifay fan does not open even above 20 cr than close below 100 cr
A big shame on you despite od that keep genuine u ruin your mouth like moron here
I don’t know yaar let it be ….who give a shit …
As I said earlier that if salman opening above 40 cr salman hater will say its eid not salman stardom if open below 40 cr than shame on salman just ready to see this exuce comment from salman hater
Where this moron knows hat is salman who made eid ia big festival period before salman eid festival was not big
@indicine please post my comment @12:57.
#Kaali
Ticket will be sold 3 times more than fan day before release it means collection would be 19×3 = 57 cr plus high ticket price it means 60cr on card on day one itself. megastardom for the reason.
@Indicine We want to know the state of booking in whole India, not in Bihar!
38cr+ day on cards. Sultan should be first movie to cross 40cr on day1 if EID falls on day1. I am expecting a 150cr+ extended weekend from Sultan with mixed wom. Let’s see how it will collect in 5 days. Rest depend entirely on wom.
Best of luck.
Despite of so much negativity this responce is huge ! SALMAN MEGASTAR KHAN !
frankly I want this movie to be flop…..else trend od crap movies with superstar will not be stopped…….
wow, great ,I am expecting 40 cr plus if first day is holiday.
Aamir is baap of Salman.
If Eid falls on 7th,Sultan won’t cross 36crs of Dhoom 3.
And bhaitards will start crying for Pre Eid effect.Idiots,HSKD,Abcd2,Hf3,BMB were all hits in ramzan,it hardly has any affect.
Pk crossed Kick’s opening without action masala genre.
Remember that bhaitards,Aamir is the biggest megastar,he’s baap of Salman.
Sureshot blockbuster written all over
@xzone I agree with you yaar,Aamir gives quality film on Xmas so he deserves a solo release.
I can bet this dehaati actor’s Sultan will not cross 150cr if it comes on a non holiday with some movies playing.
And his illiterate fans think he’s the biggest megastar,lol
Jai Ho is the prime example.It was a complete masala entertainer and it wasn’t that bad a movie yet it crashed in its 2nd week. Why? Non holiday.
Oh my god, I knew that
Hila dala na.
Sultan of bollywood.
If sultan turns out to be a crap,Salman should be banned from doing films and torturing people.

Now I literally wish it to confiscate the opening day and opening weekend records, else lower numbers will question the authenticity of indicine. The way they are promoting Sultana and using words like “Massive euphoria” , the collections should make a justice with such anomalies.
Also, I never really bothered about Indicine QnA section and have not posted a single query till date. But today, I found another piece of flattery and selective journalism out of their QnA .
/*
Today’s session of AskIndicine will be dedicated to Salman Khan and his upcoming film ‘Sultan’. Only questions related to Salman will be answered.
*/
Why so …???
Then you should better rename it as “AskAboutSalman or SalmanSession” or something of that sort!
What if a reader is not interested in this non-actor? Yes, you can advise him/her to stay away from QnA , but that is not the appropriate way.
QnA should cover all the sections of the readers rather being a mere addressal body (and satisfying the thoughts coming out from the illusionary imaginations of non-actor fans).
Indicine you are trying too much 2 promote sultan on your own.
Disappointed we know that yes sultan releasing and hype all but d way u r showing its not d reality. Specially after songs have underperformed…
