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.

another marigold worst movie
PRDP Box Office Collections on Day 1
26 .30
not 42 -43
Now where are the stupid fans who were saying that Barjatya is the best indian director ?? HSSH was average, Vivah was bad and now PRDP is so pathetic that even Salman’s biggest fans can’t praise it !! The film will have a rocking week-end but it will crash on Monday because even with a Khan content remains the only king (remember HNY or Jai Ho). 170-200 cr lifetime, no more.
@shahrukh fans : _/\_ 45 crores of HNY? lol
Don’t fool yourselves because every sane person is well aware that the actual is 36.5
300 cr plus for sure. Salman Khan film doesn’t run based on the reviews that we all know that by now so please don’t try to write a review on Salman Khan film
PRDP is absolutely a fantastic film to watch with family and friends. PRDP is certenly best work by salman khan
yeh huwi na baat… will watch it on sunday
Dilwale ko inna underestimate kiya ja rha hai….but mark my words…. It will destroy bajirao mastani … There is SRK in it…. SRK— the world’s biggest superstar … Srk fans don’t need to worry about non holiday and clash… Keep calm and let the movie release , 300 cr + with a clash..
People here jus say almost stupid things! First things y talk bout other reviews when u on indicine n indicine has reviewed it! U may not agree with the review but not say sum1 else said so and so. Go watch the movie n say what u see n not what other critics say here on indicine n also not out of jus hatred or fandom!! . Be true to the site n urself! And I even read people mentioning krk!! How can u stand that psycho n bring his stupidity on indicine!! Even indicine dsnt include him while mentioning other critics, thgh only they have the right to!!
hahaha look at haters it shows thier frustration PRDP already broked hny opening that too with 5cr margin and now all records belong to SALMAN and these king kong fans are jumping who did,not cross 2014 release of salman rofl irony dead.ANY WAY MARK MY WORDS PRDP WILL BE BLOCKBUSTER U WILL SEE IN COMING DAYS AND AFTER THAT HATERS WILL SAY HOLIDAYS SAVED THE MOVIE HAHAHAHA INSECURE FANS.WE SALMAN FANS ARE LUCKY TO HAVE SUPERSTAR LIKE SALMAN WHO BREAK RECORDS ON HIS OWN POWER WITHOUT ANY MANIPULATION NO MATTER WHAT GENRE OF FILM.THAT,S CALLED MEGASTAR SALMAN POWER NO ONE CAN COME CLODE TO HIM HE IS IN HIS OWN LEAGUE NOW
Trade figure of HNY is 37cr for Hindi version. PRDP will comfortably beat it at least by 2 CR’s and regional languages version has done 1.5 cr.So that means first film to cross 40crs as per trade .
Jitne bhi hatters hai WO bina movie dekhe bina bol rahe hai ki film ka 2nd half bad hair but movie ka asli maza to 2nd half mai hai
Still SRK on the top
Krrish 3 will remain highest diwali grosser of all time as well as highest November grosser of all time
it will be flop for sure …
@Anand-original
Who said it is longer film than HNY??HNY was about 2 hrs 59 mins long…and multi starter??haha really??PRDP has Salman,Sonam,Neil,Anupam,Arman??still HNY multi starter??haha .but every one forgot to mention that HNY was Farah Khan movie who came after TMK debacle and here was Sooraj
@bkfan
You are presenting paid views as advantage???use your sense every one said had there be no paid views than tha opening margin would be greater..haha yar asal b use Kia karo paid reviews mean a huge bunch already watched before actual opening so it hurts opening baby
As for as opening of Pakistan is concerned ,It was Thursday buddies a normal working day.on non holidays best collection comes on Saturday here in Pakistan.
@babaji
Brother released on 14 August which was national holiday here in Pakistan that’s why collection of brothers was on higher side.
But it is not going to score big here in Pakistan because in Pakistan cinema is limited and only youth & families from only big cities watches movies in cinemas.so both will reject it.Saas Bahu serials dekhne wali choto cities me hain but wo cinema nai jati families so bhai PRDP na hi samjo yahan tou
All srk fans spreading negativity OK guys in Xmas it will be our turn, truely me with my friends watched it all of us enjoyed it even who were not bhai fan they are interested for once more most of the youth enjoyed it all are targeting to watch another show how can you say mixed reviews it’s all about positive reviews only reviews gone through length of the movie but the truth film is really touchy & u will feel like I will not leave the theater superb job by #bhaijaan #Rajashri
@Anand 01:44 am : Runtime was almost same both for HNY and PRDP. Who said, HNY was shorter? Go and compare the runtime first.
@Chuhe 01:48 am : Stop taking like an idiot. It’s an extended weekend of Diwali and people tend to rush towards the theatre. And as of now they don’t have any option, so they will have to watch PRDP. There is nothing to do with your ‘Bhaijans’ stardom.
I wAnt it to cross 230cr at least to continue back to back blockbuster s for salman Khan.Which will known by Monday.
I don’t know why criminal fans are so defensive and why aren’t they accepting the fact that SRK’s stardom is at par of Salman if not bigger than him. If PRDP collects 45+ CR also, its not like that is very huge as compared to HNY (considering the number of screens,ticket price and reunion of Salman-Sooraj).
Now, from here on, whatever it collects, it will collect based on how it is being accepted by the audience. But if Bhaijan’s star power was really that great and if SRK is nothing in front of him, then he should have beaten SRK by a huge margin.
And now please don’t bark about manipulation/trade figure/producer figure etc etc. Most of the idiots, who are talking about manipulation won’t answer “How many zeros are there in 45cr”, when asked. So stop acting like fools. Different sources will say different collections. Just stick to producers figures because ultimately it’s producers who will be facing the consequences and not the box office India website.
If u loved #HumAapkeHainKaun then u will definitely love #PRDP. Otherwise #Hatestory3 is coming soon for u…
Boxoffice India says it created new record
For a so wide release like prdp how can Boi get figures so early
They are trying to beat hny record by themselves not by prdp
Whr r my tickets 43.5 kha tha mene
@Tej Gaurav yes agree with to some extent. It’s good and smart of you using the word (other fans that critize Salman always ) without mentioning their Actors name. Even I don’t use those vulgar words towards Salman and Aamir being a Srk fan. My perception is most Srk fans have respect for Salmir except when annoying fans like bhojpuri @navin @anand @hritik try and bring down Srk. Of course the 3 are the real megastar that can deliver such figure.
*observe comments from an annoying loser @Sunny Leone am akki fan and his partner I’m crime @balaji they are the ones that use Chotu Motu tingu koyla more often*. We Srk fans have pride and know what our megastar can deliver so no insecurity from us except we are compelled to do so. I know you did not specify Srk fans by saying other true fans. I like Salman but I don’t like his off screen lifestyle. But I am against using vulgar words to Salmir.
I think anything above 40 is excellent.
And most of people who are bashing movie had didnt actually watched it.
Salman is the best. Broken all records no.1 Megastar ever. His acting was perfect. I still say
1. Naturally gifted and talented actor = Salman
2. Non actors who don’t know abc of acting =
QUEEN KHAN and KOYLA DEVGAN. no where near SALMAN when it comes too Natural and Skilled Acting. Never!! Love you Salman!!!!!!!!!!!
@iamAKN where are you hiding man???????
This film is very very good 350cr puls
Salman is no 1 bollywood actor
122crs brothers+115crs SIB+125crs Baby+105crs GIB
Total 467 crs 4 films. Worldwide Collections.
And U @Babaji ka LULLU. apne third class b grade actor ka record dekha hai? nahi to upar dekh le Bajrangi Bhaijaan alone scored 627 crs, 160 crs much more than 4 combined films of FLOP KUMAR. So u stop barking here u not in the leagues of Aamir fans or Srgian. even u r not in the leagues of Hrithik to talk here. u n ur b grade actor r not in the competions so go from here and sleep until ur 50 crs club Airlift arrives.
