Salman Khan’s Prem Ratan Dhan Payo has recorded the second highest opening day collections of all time, as the film has collected approx Rs 41.75 crore net including collections from regional versions.
The official figures for the Hindi version is Rs 40.35 crore.
The much-hyped Sooraj R Barjatya film has failed to beat the all-time record of Shah Rukh Khan’s Happy New Year, which collected Rs 42.62 crore in Hindi and Rs 44.97 crore including collections from Tamil (0.92 cr) and Telugu (1.43 cr) versions.
Considering the genre of the film, the collections of Prem Ratan Dhan Payo are outstanding. Very few family dramas in the last few years have performed well at the box office and none of them have taken a record-breaking start. We have to go back to Jab Tak Hai Jaan in 2012, which released a day before the Diwali holiday and did reasonably good business.
Check out Top 30 all time highest opening day collections of all time.

Jealousy of others leads to bitterness. Stop focusing on how great their life is and start focusing on how you can make your life better.
#HNY Telugu Didn’t even release in 143 Screens leave alone about collecting 143 Lacs Nett on Day1. Big time Faking,” tweeted Andhraboxoffice.com on its official Twitter page, slamming claims by “HNY” makers.
The website continued, “Even #Pooja telugu didn’t collect 143 lacs nett with 460 screens release & Decent crowd. /”Whatay epic Faking from Red Chillies & YRF”. New low. Bollywood has now successfully & officially taken over from Tollywood & Kollywood in making tall claims & Reporting Fake Collections #HNY.”
Lol again , I know how much love affair you guys have with Akki and Srk but come on do you know how much besharam collected? 19.9 crs !! So for Christ sake how can SIB collect 20+? Pls Singh is bling collection was around 17.38 crs almost half of Dhoom3 and Singham returns.
You guys are really so muddled up or what?
The headline topic of this article is a very sensitive one believe me ,how can you just rush and say Prdp couldn’t match up with Hny? Pls everywhere and most exposed readers will always place PRDP as no.1 take it or leave it.
from the comments that i read on indicine …… we SRKian are very smart to trolls bhaitard fan …….hat off…..guys ……too much fun??????
PRDP have thrashed the opening day collections of multistarer crappy old year as I predicted. It’s time for loongiwalas to pack up…
SRK fans:
When Salman gives back to back Blockbusters : It is due to Masala genre and not his movies.
SRK tries different things and still ahead of Salman
When Salman created opening records (ETT) : Any one can do with holidays and open weeks.
When SRK created opening record (HNY) : Only king’s power
When Salman fell short of HNY opening (Trade fig only) : Hence proved SRK is bigger than Salman !!!!!
But wait !!! Didnt they say SRK is still bigger by doing different movies rather than masala genre !!!!!!!! Lol
yes prdp not beat last year hny record and critics review-1.5-2.5 so bad to average movie .sure Monday real test movie otherwise not long weekend so not 200cr mark but this movie hardly 220-240cr not more.

Bodyguard. and then by ETT Aamir did it by Ghajini. 3 Idiots and then by Dhoom 3. salman did it on non holiday by dabangg 2. kick. and bajrangi bhaijaan. aamir did it on non holiday by pk and srk ??? no holiday releases… so honestly answer my questions… and don’t forget to post this comments nahi to main is site pe kabhi nahi aunga n u know that main iss site pe din mein 100 times visit karta hun… so plz
Those who are talking here abt BOI….just go and stick to BOI….dont come and comment on INDICINE
Reacords nahi tod paate to pehle ke records lo hi fake batate ho bhaitards…jal rahi hai jal rahi hai tumlogo ki
Why is shah rukh over manipulating his figures? CE actual trade is 204 crs . Hny never collected such amount too. Replace CE with Singham returns pls. Whole world knew who earned more. Indicine and srk are …ETT earned more than CE too.
I’m not going to respond anybody individually, because I feel, all Salman fans have two common concerns :
1. HNY collection was manipulated.
2. PRDP trade figure is more than HNY’s trade figure
After seeing your crying faces, for an instance I’ll accept that OK, HNY collection was manipulated and PRDP is ahead of it by 1 crore. Happy?
But now somebody please come and tell me where is the stardom of Salman?
Because the atmosphere you guys had created on indicine, it looked like SRK is completely vanished and he doesn’t have any future Where as Salman is the undisputed king and box-office just dances on his beats.
So if he is so called bigger star, then why couldn’t he thrash the collections of HNY with a big margin, though he had more number of screens and increased ticket price. Any answer for this?
And this is not the first instance. With time, SRK has proven it again and again.
How many of you remember, how SRK thrashed the opening day record of ett in 2013?
So isn’t it a shame for you that a star who was just vanished for you all and was undergoing a bad phase is giving you all nightmares? When your bhaijan is in so called best phase of his carrier?
You might give 100 excuses but deep down your heart, even you know that when it comes to pull the audiences, SRK is nowehre less (if not more ) than Salman. But instead of accepting that humbly, you are giving absurd excuses.
today i visit so many sites after your hny manipulation comments. i found you are right 8 of 10 sites show its figure around 38cr hindi version and also lifetime collection 178cr as well weekend around 91cr.
Dilwale with 2 weeks holiday Dhoom 3 kya 250 bhi cross nahi kar payega…. open challenge….
This Christmas gonna be worst ever after 2008…
2008- Ghajini. Excellent
2009- 3 Idiots. Excellent
2010- TMK. Average
2011- Don 2. Bad
2012- Dabangg 2. Good
2013- Dhoom 3. Excellent
2014- PK. Excellent
2015- Dilwale. Worst… only BM can save this Christmas
salman fans ,your bad days already started.
1st of all you predicted 50+cr opening for prdp?????where it had gone?????
Some loser salman fans tried to say according to boi prdp did 39cr,then why you all are chanted 41 cr,that means prdp didn’t crossed at all 40cr,ROFL.
Double standard at it’s peak!!!!!
Sometimes lallutards never believed on boi and sometimes they are trade believers,#rip bhojpiri logic as well as some chameleon perfaketionistards’s expired logic like (@complan boy(sky)),ROFL.
Biggest legendary jodi sooraj barjatya+salman+youth sensation sonam(everybody liked her in the film)+Anupam kher+Neil Nitin Mukesh+Armaan kohli +highest 4500 screen +higher ticket price+all advantages+better wom than HNY still failed to beat
(tmk fame Farah+KING OF BOLLYWOOD+after finding fanny’s Deepika+rest all are flops actors like abhishek+sonu+boman etc+less 4200 screen+less ticket price+highly negative wom+less songs than prdp
Proved
BADSHAH KHAN AKA KING OF BOLLYWOOD—-KING/DR.SRK RULES BOLLYWOOD.
How can a trade site can exactly give producer’s figure?????it’s an approximate figure is giving by trade to caught frauds who did bigger manipulation like rakesh/hrithik roshan.but actors like amir khan too are fraud whose figure exactly meets with boi because still PEOPLE wants to know how can boi and producer’s figure exactly matches?????!!!!!,ROFL.
It proved rakesh roshan and amir khan are the biggest manipulator frauds in film industry.because the former one is using alien calculator,while later one associated with boi to publish exact producer figure,Sam egoes for salman too ,they all are associated with boi.
SO KING SRK IS THE ONE WHO never did manipulation because neither HIS FIGURE differs in a huge like rakesh roshan nor nearly exactly matches with salmir,IT PROVED BADSHAH KHAN IS PEOPLE’S MAN unlike manipulator media made useless talentless papa’s boys salmir.
Still my 3 suggeations to salmir fans
#also believe KING KHAN is the most blockbuster giving star in India ahead of salman according to your favourite boi.
#also accept the no. Of disasters of salmir that have earned below 30cr beating record of YLHJK.
#and don’t give comments in @indicine forever ,as you believe trade not @indicine.
But you shameless again will comment here,which proves KING SRK defeated bhojpur star salman in DEEWALI.
MEGASTAR KIMG KHAN RULES.
DILWALE WILL RULE 2015.
Next flop —-prem rotten dung khayo
Next disaster/Bombay velvet—-pavbhaji rao langda
KING SRK ROCKS,salman khan and fans shocks.
Aamir started 100, 200 & 300
phir srgay kahe superstar
Srk trailed HAKHK from 1994 to 2007 for 13 years
and then trailed salman lowest grossers from 100 crs club 2 years and now he will trail Kick for life….
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.
Indicine plz post all india occupancy of both the film then there will final result which film was a winner and who has a mega stardom
According to me both of have same type of stardom
44.93 crore on day 1
world tour for promotion
then what happened: lifetime collection 202 crore
prdp should be judge after 1 week
@xxxzone Collections of PRDP (39 cr) is 3 crore more than HNY (36 cr) as per trade,
proves Salman’s starpower, no star can give this big opening with a non-massy film.
SALMAN IS THE BIGGEST MEGASTAR OF BOLLYWOOD
Now all those intellectuals who are barking about official figure and trade figure, you are commenting on a website which believes in official figures, so better stick to that. If you’re concerned about trade figures, go to box office India and comment there !!!

As per Trade pigures,PRDP has held the highest day record
For a second,lets believe BOI trade figures for PRDP, then last year when HNY released they published 40CR hindi version the same night of release and next morning confirmed the same.
here is the link http://www.boxofficeindia.com/Details/art_detail/happynewyearcreateshistoryondayone#.VkXVt9IrLDc
Then just before the release of PK this first day figure became 36.xxx , in their defence they can state that the 1st day figure is just an estimate then PDRP 39 cr is also an estimate and that clearly proves that it has not broken the record of HNY , as tomo if BOI wants they will change the number and make it lower or keep it the same to please Salman.
So BOI also like other sites has their inclination towards some stars and the figures reflect the same.
Baap baap hota hai(44.97)
Bhaitards the uneducated! Stupid people!
Cz as per their logic srk is chota star bhai is mega star but failed to beat opening day record!
Bhai in Golden phase can’t match the stardom level of srk!
#Manipulative figures, genre! blah blah blah …. Excuses
So what after all bhai is mega star also failed to beat manipulative figures!
Too much fun
Ha ha ha ha ,salman fans are crying like hell.till yesterday they were not waiting anything against HNY ‘OPENING,but when prdp failed to beat with higher ticket price+higher screens,their back started to burn and now they came here ro bark against HNY,ROFL.
Dear salman fans ,if you have so much problem with producer’s figure,then go to boi.com and comment there,not here,because KING SRK/HNY holds the HIGHEST OPENING so go there and cry,ROFL.
KING SRK RULES BOLLYWOOD.bhojpur star salman failed to match UNDISPUTABLE MEGASTARDOM OF THE KING OF BOLLYWOOD.
KING SRK ROCKS,salman fans shocks.
@Annie,that’s not a big deal for THE SRKIANS to troll these bhojpuris.
Heard enough of shit by Salman fans.rona nai jae ga.Srkians you don’t need to troll Salman fans ,Sooraj and Salman already trolled them with PRDP…And PAPA BOi saying that PRDP not crossing 40crs even with dubbed versions.Haha and Rajshiri calculator announcing it 42 crs somewhere..bhai ye manipulation nai ha Kia?ab chutiayapa na karna aur btana Kia ye manipulation nai ha
Bhai fans are retweeting Kiaara Sandhu’s tweets after prdp failed to beat Hny.
When Kiaara Sandhu is your last hope then I really pity on you guys ??
