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.

Who cares? Varunwaale will chase singh is bling’s opening day record as it will release on Friday and our king is yet to cross 15 Cr opening on non holiday and without deepika. So my bet is 17 Cr maximum opening and then content will decide the fate. The screen count is also less as it will be only 2800-3000 screens.
Thus year’s highest grossers
1. Bajrangi bhaijaan
2. PRDP
3. Dilwale
4. TWMR
5. BM
6. ABCD 2
7. Baby
8. WB
9. Brothers
10. SIB
oh my god hny 1st day is just 37.52 cr and 42.62 in manipulation of Hindi version .almost 5cr inflation from the first day.and bajarangi bhaijaan life time is 318.14 nett .and producer figure is 320.34.just 2 cr difference in life time.if it starred srk bb will sure cross 400 crore in manipulation.
SRK fans are such insecure loons that on every PRDP article they are writing ‘Queen Rocks’ !!!!!!! Biggest hypocrites are @sss @I am AKN @Javed @Aman @Rao @Harsh !!!!!!!!!!!!!! No matte what Lungi to blow honi hai (by PRDP crossing every Queen’s movie) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The majority of the haters are those who enjoys Maya Memsaab, Conjum conjum and bre@staking lines so it it obvious for them not to understand PRDP. Dont worry haters, PRDP is not for you, Hate Story 3 is coming for all moral less creatures !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i watched it in inox where 20min add & 6 min trailer made the film lengthy. Those who watch it with us in that show were happy because it was not happy new year type of film. Yes one or two brother-sister scenes were a bit slow. I think audience understand that this fault should be forgiven for such a beautiful family film. Those who would not forgive are either salman haters or incapable of appreciating such an entertaining great film. If they think that rohit shetty will give them an entertaining film,i have something to say. Yes ce was an entertaining(i think not great) film. But depika’s comedy,expressions,acting made it entertaining. Though kajol is a great actress, she wont be able to make dilwale funny. Srk & varun dont seem to do comedy as salman & akki did in mujse shadi karogi. For adhaar card banayoon & mein pregnant & babulal & srk’s one greatest romantic song with kajol will make it just one-time watch(unlike hny).
so its confirm with increased screen count and increased ticket prices. ….at peak of salman career……he cant beat srk opening record. …which is all about star power…..
ha ha…not able break the record of HNY….SRK the name is enough
Indicine I predicted 43 crore and sent my e-mail and mobile number for contest
Official will be 45+
Lol… 4500 screens in india 1100 screens in overseas.. first day collection 42cr ( BOI figure 39 cr). U can see the real winner.. yesterday some bhai fans claimed that it will cross 50 cr mark!!!!!!! Where is 50 cr ha ha ha ha ha
Bachao..Prem Uncle fir aayo sath me disaster aur expressionless acting layo…
Fake…its39-40 crs according to BOI…manioulation starting right from day 1…lol
HNY 44.97 cr (Screen count – 3850 in india) > PRDP 42 cr aprox. ( 4500 screens india ) …You can choose the winner….
Was waiting for PRDP since its announcement. Actually thought it will come out bigger and better than Bajrangi but after watching the movie, BB turned out to be a much better movie than PRDP.
PRDP is only for Salman Khan fans. Sonam Kapoor fans, better skip watching it or else you will end up hating her for spoiling it.
Overall, 2.5/5
People after watching this crap.
“Ata maji satakli give my money back”
Fake Boxoffice india HNY’s First day calculations > First they publish 43cr from all version , After 2 week they published 40cr from all version, Then After 2 months Their figure 38cr…And now its 36 cr( Saving aamir khan)
Only one word for this one CrAp.don’t waste your time and save your money for Christmas DiLwaLooN ki. If you see prdp is playing in cinema stay away from cinema.
4500-3850 = 650 > 650 smore screens and collection is just 39 cr…
Not only me all ppl are saying it is just crapy no 1 payo.
#CrapNo1Payo.
#CinemaMaiSirDardPayo.
This time only Sir dard is going on in cinemas.
so bhai prdp collected 34 cr but bhai calculator made it 44 …hny was released in above 4500 screen but boi calculated collection of only 3850 and bhai fans bark that abt so from now prdp collection will be calculated from krk boxoffice…..krk rocks
Bhai maine to negative review kahi nahi suna…. Are ab to negativity band kar do
Indicine my prediction is 43 ..if this is riyt then i won one ticket …yah hu ..kab tak mere no pe msg aa jayega ..?
Sabke families mei problem hoti hai par voh khushnaseeb hai jinki families hoti hai.. :)
Wow
45crore
500cr collect
1st movie to cross 40 cr nett in India as per boi 41.10 cr Hindi only
Pathetic movie. Sonam n swara don’t look like princess from any angle. It includes gangs of all flop actors. Really torchered throughout the movie.
To me, HNY was one of the biggest crap & PRDP is the mother-father of HNY…
Today’s world it is little hard to believe like..
1. salman using expensive gadget but traveling in bullock cart instead of car..
2. sonam can afford helicopter to go relief camp, but she come to pritampur by train..
3. neil nitin and arman kohli want to kill salman so they tried to assasin salman. but when they came to know he is still alive, they recaptured salman but keep him alive. why????
