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.

The important thing Salman at the peak of his career fails to Beat HNY’s record.
But Sir SRK at his worst phase (According to the haters) had made a Record. So image about Sir SRK’s Good Phase what will happen. Lolzzz Three much fun
So people who believe in BOI PRDP’s 40cr broke HNY’s 36 cr and people who believe in official figures PRDP’s 45 cr has broken HNY’s 44.6 cr. pick your way and Either way PRDP is on top.

Guys go and watch prdp its really good film
PremRatanDhanPayo collects ? 40.35 cr on Day 1. Hindi version only… Tamil and Telugu biz being compiled… OUTSTANDING START!
Please just wait for the next 10 days, Insha Allah all negativities surrounding this movie will be diminished. Sooraj has made this movie with a very clean heart and now it is his time to reap the benefits.
Hahahaha 41cr all vrsn.
More number of screen &shows as compare to HNY…even ticket price are also higher than pk..
Bhojpuri bhaitards dekh lo apni aukat..
Lallu fails again on his opening day
.jai ho kick BB & now PRDP..HEHEHEHE…
Now this is a unlimited fun..
@indicine : 07:58 and 08:05 comments. Please publish
@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 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.
@Taran so its ur Taran who said that PRDP is the 2nd Highest Opener Ever. So HNY’s 44.97 is safe which also revealed by Taran.
prdp 40.35
hny 44.97
with more screens, better wom, better director, increased ticket prices, bajrangi bhaijaan blockbuster effect, pure family clean entertainer salman failed to beat one year old record of hny. Baap aakhir baap hi hota hai. Only srk rules dilwale will break each record despite clash.
and u @xvideozone not accepting the fact that being a social drama genre prdp scored 40+ on opening which means better than crappy masala genre. See PK 27, BB, 27 n PRDP 40+ if srgay were in this film then 30+ was impossible. then ghante ka stardom.
Dilwale will not cross 30+ and u srgians don’t give any excuses as PRDP was also facing competition from kamal haasan and ajith thala’s movies respectively. otherwise 45+ was not difficult. and the other reason behind prdp’s lower collection is today’s factor working day. unlike HNY prdp have friday non holiday on second day which means poor late night shows. n HNY had free weekends. lekin Indicine ye sab to batayega hi nahi…..
@The beast “killed” the phenom >> In When HNY released it had competition with crowd puller Vijay’s Kathi (it was mega blockbuster)… I bet you Dilwale will collect more than 35cr with tight competition > bajirao mastani…Just wait…..
@The beast “killed” the phenom is salman is your 2nd father ??? just shut ur shitty mouth..PRDP is pure waste boring movie….only Mindless crap salgay fans can accept these type of shitts…
HNY—-KING KHAN + tmk fame Farah+negative wom+300+ less screen than prdp+less price than prdp—-45CR
prdp—-sallu-sooraj blockbuster combo+mixed wom+300+ more screen than prep+high price than HNY+family entertainer—-39/40cr.
It’s proved today salman khan is no way nearer to KING KHAN’S MEGASTADOM,all excuses of lallutards gone to vein.
KING KHAN defeated lallu in DEEWALI.
and prdp can’t cross HNY’S WW COLLECTION.
KING KHAN is BAAP of salman in terms of stardom/consistency.while salman is baap of KING KHAN in terms of looks,ROFL.
@sss so indirectly you have accepted that salamn is much better looking and handsome than your koyla ugly queen. Hatts off. You took your stupidity to another level.
Guyzzz I m a huge salman khan fan,
Prdp was a best movie of length 3.20 hr who could hav beaten all n evry previous records but S. Barjatiya cut 30 min from d original whn it is released,
SO it is d only reason thats why all srkians n some sallu fans r also disapointed, otherwise this movie would hav been the best movie ever, now d cuts ruined the whole movie,
Still its a huge blockbuster only because of THE SALMAN…
Guyzzzzz……… u all admit d truth, I think it may b a blockbuster but it cant b an ATBB
@harsh khanna,no no no no,you didn’t mean it.I said in terms look he is looking Father age of KING KHAN.now that’s perfect,as you bhojpuri dimag’s screw always remains dheela,ROFL.koyla ugly is your lallu who is looking like fatso gorilla and looking like grandpa of sonam and can’t do romance.look at THE HANDSOME,SLIM FIT KING KHAN can do ROMANCE movies at this age too and has highest female followers than your ugly koyla fatso gorilla idol,ROFL.
@sss barking nonsense wont help. I just caught you. Your fragile queen looks like an ugly skinny horror cartoon with lot of artificial makeup which looks like combo of rakhi sawant, hard kaur, dolly bindra and bobby darling all into one and mixed them up with lot of make up borrowed from Imam siddiqui ewww. Please don’t make me describe him more otherwise I will feel vomiting. Srk has no fan following.everygorl finds him ugly character.
