Salman Khan’s Veer has opened to a fantastic response at the box office and is currently on a record-breaking spree on single screens. Business is best in North, East and Central India and worst down South.
Single screen business is 90% on Day 1 while multiplexes have seen around 50-60% average through the day. Combined, Veer has managed to nett 7 crores on Day 1 all over India.
As the film is performing best at single screens, it would be unfair to compare Veer based on box office nett collections. Going by the distributors share, the Day 1 business of Veer is next only to Aamir Khan’s 3 Idiots and Ghajini.
Saturday too, the business is excellent at single screens and it would be very interesting to see how the film performs on its first crucial weekday. Tuesday, being a holiday (Republic day) should also boost the Week 1 collections.
If the trending is close to as good as Wanted, Veer should easily attain HIT status.
mystic DKD was successful in a successful wellknown channel, colors was a new channel launched in 2008, KKK gave the channel a thunderous start which then followed BigBoss. also KKK level 2 was the most watch showed in september where it was aired for a month.
@ Farhad
ok thankx for enlightening me
ive never compared Akki wid Salman.
ive always compared him wid SRK and Amir.
lol ur comparing sallu to amir???
For two decades in the industry, Salman Khan, has been an enigmatic personality for Bollywood and its millions of followers. Spontaneous by nature, Salman’s statements reflect honesty, a rare trait in the industry. Voted as the world’s 7th best looking male, Salman is a dedicated body builder and is single handedly responsible for mushrooming up of gymnasiums across the country, which are frequented by his fans. As the ‘Superstar’ turns 45, he still remains one of the most loved personalities and one of the biggest draws in the industry.
He may be reeling after a slew of flops recently, but as a part of the famous Khan troika – the other two being Shah Rukh and Aamir, Salman enjoys unquestioned acceptance amongst the masses which enables him to ride through such slumps unscathed.
After all, how many actors can deliver 6 consecutive flops and still end up amongst the highest paid in the industry.
This fact was evident by the stupendous success of his TV game show ‘Dus Ka Dum’, where his affable and easy going conduct was said to be an extension of his real-life personality.
The release of “Hum Aapke Hain Koun”, his second venture with director Sooraj Barjatya after “Maine Pyar Kiya” – it ended up not only amongst the biggest hits of that decade and the most profitable movie in bollywood history, but also the first Bollywood movie to do well overseas. The movie got Salman a lot of accolades besides establishing him as one of the industry’s most bankable stars.
Since then, he has belted out one big hit after another. Over the years, he has given some memorable performances in “Judwa”, “Pyar Kiya to Darna kya”, “Biwi No 1”, “Hum Saath-Saath Hain: We Stand United”, “Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam” , “Mujhse Shaadi Karogi”, “Jaan-e-mann”, “No Entry” and “Partner”. He brought back the concept of the comic hero in Bollywood.
Besides the commercial successes, he is also credited with critical acclaim for his stellar performances as an obsessive lover in “Tere Naam”, as a psychopath struggling to come to terms with the fact that he accidentally killed his wife in “Kyon Ki”, as a HIV positive patient in “Phir Milenge” and as an honest, no nonsense cop in “Garv”.
He has always backed his friends till the end, even if it meant being a part of a mediocre film. Himesh Reshammiya, Kamaal Khan, Govinda, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Katrina Kaif, Sajid Wajid are some the people, who received Salman’s backing at some critical stages of their careers before making it big.
mr and Mrs whatever was rhe biggest hit of salman last year after wanted???? u guys loved it na??? this movie too is samash hit but to empty halls…!!! u will love this one also ..the verdict is out and will be clearer in 2 days ..where will u hide your faces then??? it is better to rubbish this film now itself and save youself the misery later cos u people will have no place to save your faces from me
Tahir can i just say sumat plz u listed salmans 26 successful films and also saying he’s got more hits than akshay a think your wrong there they both are about the same akshays also got about 25 ta 28 hit films in his career, and dulhan hum le jayenge was below average dont know where you got average frm if ya want i can list all his films down according to box office
srijon, get your facts right pal akshays made 86 movies not 112 and in them 86 movies he has about 27 which are hits and some average ones too

First WANTED. Now VEER. Some commonalities first…
Like WANTED, VEER had an excellent start at single screens.
Like WANTED, VEER performed poorly at plexes.
ike WANTED, VEER failed to take off in the international markets.
Now some dissimilarities between WANTED and VEER…
WANTED enjoyed extremely positive reports and grew from strength to strength with each passing day. Saturday was better than Friday, while Sunday was better than Saturday and Monday was better than Sunday. VEER showed a drop on Saturday and a drastic drop on Monday. While Tuesday [26th January; Republic Day holiday] was good, I foresee a heavy drop on Wednesday and Thursday.
WANTED was released during the Eid festivities and the dream run spilled over to its second weekend [no major opposition] and also third weekend [2nd October; Gandhi Jayanti holiday]. VEER has found appreciation amongst the single screen section, but that’s not enough. Plus, there’s no holiday in its second weekend. Instead, it has two major oppositions to compete with [RANN and ISHQIYA].
Any film that carries the burden of a heavy price tag ought to have long legs, ought to work wonders at plexes and single screens both and also fetch great returns from key international markets. The revenue from plexes is poor and I foresee the multiplexes giving preference to RANN and ISHQIYA, since VEER hasn’t worked at plexes. As for the international market, the revenue generated from U.K., U.S.A. and Australia is dull.
Ideally, VEER should’ve collected at least Rs. 24 cr. to Rs. 27 cr. in its opening weekend [it collected approx. Rs. 19 cr. to Rs. 20 cr.] in India, while Week 1 should close at approx. Rs. 30 cr. to Rs. 32 cr., as per estimates. The revenue boost from plexes is clearly missing here. Assuming that Week 1 closes at approx. Rs. 31 cr., the distributors go home with a share of approx. Rs. 18 cr. to Rs. 20 cr., in view of the fact that the share from single screens are much higher.
Of course, Week 2 plays a crucial role now. However, two factors go against the film. One, the word of mouth isn’t mind-boggling. Two, the exorbitant price tag [Rs. 70 cr.]. Let’s not forget, it’s not the film, but the price that fails!
Veer Records Huge Collections On Republic Day Holiday
Wednesday 27th January 2010 10.00 IST
Boxofficeindia.Com Trade Network
Veer recorded huge collections on Tuesday which was Republic Day holiday. The film grossed around 6.25 crore nett as per early estimates which takes it five day business to nearly 29 crore nett. The collections on Tuesday are the second highest ever for a Tuesday after Three Idiots but is must be noted that Veer did the business on a major holiday.
The film has benefited hugely from Republic Day holiday as the collections are double of what they would have been if it was a normal day.
The film is now heading for a 33 crore nett plus total and a distributor share of over 20 crore. Normally films post large drops after a big holiday so if Veer can stay around its Monday range on Wednesday and Thursday that will a good sign for its second weekend.
Congrats!
veer collected 33 crore already not bad good news for salman fans
