Bollywood megastar Salman Khan is in a different league altogether when it comes to recording the ‘highest single days’ in the industry. 7 out of the Top 10 Highest single days now belong to a Salman Khan starrer, with 4 days of his latest release ‘Sultan’ making it to the Top 10.
The ’30 crore single day’ is a elite club only meant for the biggest superstars in the industry. Films of only 5 actors has managed to collect 30 crore or more on a single day. They are:
- Salman Khan (11 times)
- Shah Rukh Khan (5 times)
- Aamir Khan (5 times)
- Hrithik Roshan (once)
- Ajay Devgn (once)
Interestingly, no other actor, apart from those mentioned above, has even crossed the 25 crore mark on a single day. With Salman films crossing the 30 crore mark 11 times, the actor is just one short of all other actors combined (12).
The next film to watch out for will be Aamir Khan’s Dangal, releasing this Christmas.

PLS NOW DONT COMPARE ANY STAR WITH SALMAN.. HES NOW LIGHT YEARS AHEAD
hritik lost one opportunity of 30 crore single day bcoz of clash with haider and will lose another one coz of clash with rustom
Where is Akshay Kumar?? Give him EID Diwali Christmas still he would not be able to give a 30cr in a single day. But don’t worry RUSTOM 1st Day 30cr and MohenjoDaro 10cr.. LOL!
Whole world knows hny first day and weekend is fake. Audience are not fools..
I wonder where is akshay kumar name in d list n sum bunch of idiots are telling ki akshay is bigger star than salman or aamir or shahrukh or hrithik
Well, before Sultan it was just six 30 cr single days for Lolman.
& we all know, the reason for high collections until Sunday was because of Eid.
Look how it came crashing Monday onwards.
The real reflection of stardom would have been a couple of 40cr+ days which didn’t happen despite having the best release date in years.
This is more like a smart release plan, worked out perfectly rather than the so called ‘stardom’.
The whole world has seen it.

Because Salman Khan owns Bollywood as simple as that. ?
SULTAN the destroyer of records
Prediction of SULTAN lifetime collection.
In 7days = 208.8cr
Day 8 = 11.2cr
Day 9 = 10cr
Total of 9days week = 230cr
2nd week = 55cr
3rd week + 4th weekend = 20cr
And rest = 5cr
Total = 230cr+55cr+20cr+5cr =310cr
minimum 310cr lifetime for SULTAN
i’m missing akki in this list
Mark my word
mohenjodaro will cross 30cr mark on both sunday and Monday . I hv been silent on md for too long bt today onwards I will b giving full support to it like I do for any youngistaan film. A section of d trade and media is planning to destory d film by spreading unnecessary -ty. They were d same ppl who were spreading extraordinary +ty around Dilwale & Fan. They desperately want MD to fail as success of MD will result in Hrithiks return to Top3
#YoungistaanSupportsMohenjoDaro
Sorry for the late comment because I had to double check the list just to look if Akshay Kumar is there but Alas, I couldn’t find him?.
I know where I can find him now,.. probably he is getting ready to beg streets of Mumbai especially infront of King SRK house Mannat. ?
@zeezhan, those saying that are all living in the past esp 2007.
Akki is a flop actor and this list is another proof of that.
My question to Bhaitards …
Dhoom 3 had lesser ticket price, lesser screens, lesser occupancy but it’s 3rd Day (Sunday) collections (38.5cr) was still higher than Sultan’s opening day collection, despite Sultan having more number of screens, higher occupancy, highest ticket prices ever. How?
Answer this, and don’t ever bark about HNY’s opening day collections next time.
#Kaali
what if akki do not have 25+ cr. single or don’t have 150 crore movie ,still he is best and has better stardom than khans and hritik
Salman fans think of PRDP as a underperformer and don’t even talk about records it made. HNY did lesser business than PRDP and still Sarook fan’s can’t stop gushing about it. This is Bhai’s Stardom, His underperformer’s are better than So called global superstar’s best performer :D
what if akki do not have 25+ cr. single or don’t have 150 crore movie ,still he is best and has better stardom than khans and hritik
but in dreams of akki fans
Raees 1st day 50cr on solo 26th jan release.. salman took 2 more year to break HNY 45cr
This @Floppy is a bhaitard in disguise, I can assure everyone.
He always comments a couple of things in favour of SRK to create unnecessary negativity for him, and obviously create misunderstandings between SRKians & Akki fans.
& who enjoys the most? These Bhaitards.
#Kaali
Where is Akshay sir?
Even if he does one film in 5 years.. he will still not cross 25 opening and 135 crore total. Critical acclaim, big franchise, action, romance.. nothing works for Akki sir.
Akki fans have been chanting 25 crore and 200 crore from OUATIM days. Dreams shattered every time… will happen again when MD destroys Rustom
Akshay needs to release less movie to b in that list. Btw what is Happy New year still doing on top with fake figures. 3900 screens 80% opening day how can u score 45 cr? ! While sultan over 4400 screens almost 90% how comes it did not touch 50 cr. Lying red chillies
salman did in recent 10 movie most of in eid one in diwali one in Christmas all are solo and 5 single day from sultan
otherhand srk did only 7 movie in recent time 3 with clash 1non hollyday and only one on eid but despite these factor his single day scoring 5 is quite impressive
44.97 cr
wahan dum hai to tod ke dikha
Kya fayda?????
HIGHEST SINGLE DAY/WEEKEND/OPENING—-KING SRK
HIGHEST LIFETIME—-PERFECTIONIST AMIR
recordless—-bhojpuri bhai
@indicine,you must have to explain too how many extra holidays,phultan/salman get !!!!!
KING SRK,AMIR—-5
salman—-11
So KING SRK,AMIR>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>holiday dependent sallu
That means even getting 11 HOLIDAY TOO,IF HNY,PK’S RECORD IS STILL IN SAFE.
THEN IT PROVED
KING SRK,AMIR RULES BOLLYWOOD.papa’s made non actor struggles to break every record because he is talentless but unfortunately a star due to strong or,m media support and a bunch of illiterate goon fanbase,rofl.
Btw our bhai is chasing ATHG RECORD since 1994 ,around 22 years still couldn’t break a single ATHG ,which is biggest struggle among KHANS.
KING SRK—-FROM 1992-2013(21 YEARS)
Amir—-From 1988-2008(20 years)
sallu—-recordless 1994 till now(22 years+still counting……..)
And also please note this record this is the same salman who struggled for longest 15 years to get his own starrer single hgoty from 1994.
From 1994(Madhuri’s hahk)—-2010 with dabang(as hssh is multistarrer,no entry is not a sallu movie/cameo apperance).
Now it’s perfect time for sallu to retire from Bollywood and to do Grandpa role in KING SRK/Amir’s movie,so that that movie can make/break some records,rofl.
Name a single movie of Salman except BB which will be remembered 5 years from now.
None of his recent movies have any recall value quite evident from its trending on weekdays.
@kaali I’m a fan off all three Khan’s,Hrithik and Ajay. So stop posting bulshit about me.
By the way,did you just say that I’m creating misunderstanding between Floppians and SRK fans? No dude. I’m not doing that but makhians were the ones who start bashing king during Fan debacle. Oh I see you weren’t around at that time because you migrated to Makhians state of beggers.?
on republic day
agneepath(2012) -23 cr. opening day (revenge drama genere)
airlift (2016) – 12 crore op. day (patriotic movie)
aukat-aukat ki baat hai
I continusly said that sultan is just normal performer at festive relised nothing else but i dont understand why media and trade even i wana include @indicine too that over hyping it ?? even a small kid tell you that there is nothing like Strom blah blah..
i just wana give some fact
Chennai express- earn 100.08cr in three days plus paid preview three year ago nearly half screen and ticket price than sultan
sultan- 104cr in three days with highest screen and ticket price so what a big deal???
even it is beyond HNY & Dhoom3 weekend
opening day forgot HNY it was not even cross prdp inspite of widest relised size any how touch non hollyday three year old dhoom3
i still amaze that on which bases trade paid media quoting that Strom , hurrican etc… stardom means three days rest is depend on content and WOM if they click than kangana deleverd twmr instead of rascal , farahan akhtar deleverd milkha instead of kartik calling with deepika and salman can deleverd bajrangi and amir deleverd pk .
so only a thing make sultan above 250cr that is Two extra days in first weekend bcoz if its third day should be monday like CE, BB, and p.k than it became more difficult for it to cross 250cr in festive eid weekend
i think if bajarangi, CE and dhoom3 had this type of weekend than they collection even better than iti still amaze on trade reporting especially with indicine because you are doing good work but suddenly start following bhed chal you need to recruiting some talented unbiased person
The ’30 crore single day’ is a elite club only meant for the biggest superstars in the industry…
Salman Khan (11 times)
Shah Rukh Khan (5 times)
Aamir Khan (5 times)
Hrithik Roshan (once)
Ajay Devgn (once).
Where is jokerboy???
salman the biggest megastar of india
7 out of the Top 10 Highest single days now belong to a Salman Khan starrer. And global king has only one.
Akhir BAAP Baap hi hota hai!!!
