As expected, Salman Khan has regained the top spot for the ‘First day’ collections. But what has shocked the trade is the margin by which his latest release has climbed back to the top.
Ek Tha Tiger has raced ahead of Agneepath, with more than 45% collections. What that also means is, Salman Khan has more than DOUBLED the first day collections of Dabangg (14.45 crore), which released just 2 years back. It’s also 50% more than the opening day collections of Bodyguard (20.66) that released during the same time last year.
The table below says it all – Khan reigns supreme once again, by some distance!
