The Hindi version of Salman Khan’s Prem Ratan Dhan Payo has collected around Rs 42 – 43 crore on Day 1 at the domestic box office. The Tamil and Telugu version of the film has added around 1 crore to the total, which should take the Thursday box office collections closer to the 45 crore mark.
The film has performed well in circuits like Mumbai (including Gujarat where it was extraordinary), Delhi/UP (9 crore approx on Day 1), Rajasthan (2.1 cr) and East Punjab (4.7 cr). C.I (1.8 cr) and C.P were strong too. PRDP had the potential to gross much more had it performed better in circuits like Mysore (1.45 cr), TNK (about 1 cr) and to a certain extent even West Bengal (1.8 cr) – where the morning shows were slightly below the mark. Note: All are very early estimates.
Having said that, we are talking about extremely high percentage of occupancy here. The average All-India occupancy, for all shows across India throughout the day, even with the insanely high number of shows, was in the 80% plus range – something that no other film released this year has achieved, barring Bajrangi Bhaijaan which released on a non-holiday Friday.
The big day has come in the form of 40 crore plus opening, but it’s after the first day that the word-of-mouth comes into effect. Friday and Saturday, both working days, will be extremely crucial for a film like PRDP.
Last year, Shah Rukh Khan’s Happy New Year dropped by 30% on the day after Diwali. The advantage for HNY was that it was a Saturday, a day on which multiplex business tends to peak during the night. For PRDP, it’s a Friday, so a drop of around 30% would be considered good and a 35% drop wouldn’t be a good sign for the remaining two days in the extended weekend.
PRDP will be dependent on the family audience, who are expected to come out in big numbers in the next few days. Reports suggest that the film has received a mixed response from the youth.
Meanwhile, with two major films remaining this year, the only two films to take a ‘BUMPER’ opening in 2015 are Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. It’s been Salman Khan all the way this year too, as he has dominated the top of all box office tables here on Indicine.
Also note, that the screen count of 4500 in India includes release of regional versions Telugu and Tamil.

You may get 2 Types of Reviews with #PRDP
a person with Family will show positivity
While Who Doesn’t knw what family is will show negativity
300 cr plus
who care critics
Its a blockbuster.despite drops it will sustainn in long run. Wom is positive so there is a craze for this movie.
This movie will fall more than 40% tomorrow.
Extended weekend: 125 crore
Week 1: 155 crore
Lifetime: 190-200.
Will crawl past last year’s pathetic Diwali release HNY but 200 is improbable with negative WOM.
Come back to Earth, bhaitards. ?
ATBB…no doubt…

show negativity….
but dont bother about collection this movie is brilliant and it will cross the 300cr. .
happy Diwali to all of you from our bhaijaan..
lets celebrate ????????????
Huge collection best results for prdp – I was telling that it will open huge now all hatter will cry only
Age Of Ultron should come under Bumper category, 11 crs from 1500 screens on a Non-Holiday is crazy.
BTW PRDP should crash Monday onwards if Public responses are anything to go by. #BhaiRoxx
No manipulation, No Deepika…True Megastardom
Negative WOM is spreading all over the imternet jist like last year after HNY’s release.
Twitter, FB, Google+, Critic reviews all are criticising the movie.
Bajrangi was a fluke. Hence proved.
Salman is back to being his best. ?
Hmmm weekends collection tends to be good for PRDP as most of the tickets are already booked. Acid test will start from Monday and considering the average reviews (not from critics but from actual audiences), its difficult for PRDP to sustain. Opening day collection may surpass HNY once they release the official collections for day 1.
With higher screen count and increased ticket prices it can be embarrassing if PRDP does not cross HNY collections.
Indicineteam want to know that collection contast for all India figure including telgu and Tamil as I put my figure according All India figure
means failed to beat Hny.. SRK = Salman. proved
Breaking HNY’s record by just A Margin of few lacs????
(or may be not even that)
HNY AND PRDP RELEASED ON THE BIGGEST DAYS OF THEIR YEARS
—->HNY
– CAME ONE YEAR BACK
-POOR WORD OF MOUTH AFFECTED ITS EVENING SHOWS
-DIRECTED BY BAD FARAH KHAN
COLLECTION-44.97 CRORES
—>PRDP
-HAVE MORE NUMBER OF SCREENS
-DIRECTED BY SOORAJ BARJATYA
-BETTER WOM THAN HNY
-BB AFFECT
-INCREASED TICKET PRICE
COLLECTION -AROUND 44-45 CRORE(MAY BE)
WHAT I WANT TO SAY IS-
ONLY SHAH RUKH KHAN RULES BOLLYWOOD!!!!!!
.
.
With higher screens and ticket prices PRDP just edged out HNY or did less than that film in many circuits. BHAI STAMINA LOL. SRK is bigger star.
Salman Khan, Sonam Kapoor-Please stop torturing us with your cringeworthy acting! Thankyou for making PRDP awful -_- Watch this movie at your own risk. don’t blame if u get hospitalized.
With 4500 screens and Diwali holiday, it should collect minimum 45 cr.
With HNY, SRK started this trend to release the movie day after Diwali festival and now others are following that.
Despite manipulation it is behind Hny. Lolzz.
Pathetic movie!
Seriously guys this 1 is horrible.
Salman fans r gonna bash me for that statement but they also know n they also didnt enjoy this torture.
Some r saying about families but believe me everybody seems disappointed during this movie.
It’s really s let down from rajasri.
Didn’t expect this frm them at least.
PRDP is on its way to touch 300 cr. first week will cross 200 cr.. I watched it with my family and all of us enjoyed it..
Sonam Kapoor’s & Salman Khan’s acting is the biggest minus for PRDP..
With manipulation it failed to beat hny. looks like.
Good family entertainment movie.
what a waste of time and money….its a crapfest…flop written all over hit…
don’t watch …save your hard earned money
PRDP is such a crap that I feel like leaving the cinema hall even before end of first half. Was expecting more from Salman Khan.
according to BOI its already broke the record of HNY.
with so called outdated genre, no big heroine,….40cr opening….do we need to discuss who’s the bigger star?
King Insecure Khan says it won’t drop 35%. And you can’t argue a kind now can you fools?
The best thing in PRDP was…attachment of DILWALE trailer…at least there is something what is not BORING..
