In just one day, Bollywood megastar Salman Khan’s Prem Ratan Dhan Payo has surpassed the weekend business of films like ‘Gabbar Is Back’ (which had one partial holiday and one full holiday), ‘Tanu Weds Manu Returns’, ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’, ‘Baby’ and several others films.
There are other staggering facts. The lifetime collections of Shaandaar (which collected Rs 42 cr) has been destroyed on Day 1 itself. A big-budget film like ‘Bombay Velvet’, which finished with 25 crore lifetime, was trounced by around 6PM on Thursday, with more than 30% of shows still to go!
The collections were also two times more than the second day business of Brothers and first day business of Singh Is Bling – both released on national holidays.
These records are even more staggering when you consider these facts
- Prem Ratan Dhan Payo was Salman’s second release in 4 months. His last film Bajrangi Bhaijaan released on July 17.
- In terms of star cast, Salman had absolutely no support. In fact, the cast was a negative for the film. Salman’s pairing with Sonam wasn’t liked. Neil Nitin Mukesh and the rest of the cast do not have any value as far as a box office initial is concerned.
- Apart from the star cast, the genre wasn’t favourable either. Family dramas do not get a initial in today’s times and the music also didn’t do as well as it should. The only factors that were in favour of PRPD was the title track going viral and Sooraj-Salman reunion. Of course, a holiday is a huge advantage for any film, but like we have seen in recent times, not every actor can take advantage of a big holiday.
In short, Salman Khan has once again reigned supreme at the box office. He’s the undisputed numero uno star in the industry today, not just because of a film like Prem Ratan Dhan Payo taking a record start, but also because he has consistently raised the bar. The genre, star cast, director, promotions or release period, does not matter!
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 ??
@OnlyShahRukhKhanRules !!
taran adarash prdp-41.75cr. it’s fine BT
when taran adarsh HNY-44.75 it’s fake why double standard ????
even BOI said earlier that time that HNY has earthsatering response and it’s earn anywhere above 40cr and they also gave earlier estimated above 40 cr bt suddenly it turned back I don’t know why bt at time of srk’s movies BOI show their double standard you can take lots of example like OSO
Movie collect os 1.6 can u post article first day collection of os …!! All r say this is highest ever…prdp create os also 1.6 how much bb nd pk nd hny earn..? Any one know plz tell me..
Only Salman is d saving grace.
Recall of family values is a big thumbs up but proceedings are too boring n dull at times. It will only be Bhai’s charisma if d movie crosses 200 crore.
# Suraj Barjatya ki haalat Mukherjee Nagar ke Agrawal Sweets ki galiyon me UPSC ki taiyari kar rahe un students ki tarah h Jo 2010 se pahle ki pattern pe padhai kar rahe…!
Phle to khud ye expect kar rhe the ki movie record todegi…
Jab nhi tod payi to bahane kyu???
Sach to ye h ki srk sabse bada hero h.. Salman bhi boht bada h lekin 2nd number par h…
Hi indicine namaste
it is due to genre of a movie that it could not break the 1st day collection of a movie. It is known by all but are not willing to accept it. Had ett released than what would be the collection, answer it? The film is not watched by only salman fans it is due to help of every other fan, a movie collect a huge amount. As a fan i haven’t watched prdp and also not willing to watch it in theater due to its genre. But if it collect good amount on mon/tue than i might watch it,as a good amount on mon/tue means film have been appreciated. I will watch dilwale on first day despite being salman fan bcas that movie look a good entertainer.
@indicine why r u pretending like a lawyer of salman khan ????
first I want to tell you prdp has two actors from blockbuster movie Tanu weds manu
a all time legend director suraj barjatya who gave huge contributions in salman’s carrer??
and family gern attract more members of family unlike other u can say thal love romance gern has limited audience
and promotion of prdp was every where from bigg boss to all serial even on cartoon network so why u only gaga over sallu
in yours views faraha is bigger than suraj barjatya????
Happy!
1. @ indicine please can you give more insight on your today’s article saying “prdp is 2nd highest single day” and now your last paragraph where you say “prdp taking a record start”? For me they are 2 different variables. So which one to stick on(I already stuck with one from day 1). What’s your take on that?
nobody will ask this question to indicine becoz they have no answer and logic becoz they blindly trust srk fig-
Ticket Prices PRDP >>> HNY
Screen Counts PRDP>>> HNY
Occupancy PRDP >>> HNY according to u.
Then why should there be less collections than HNY?
Whats the logic? Whats the reason if no manipulations??
Please answer…
@hrithik plzzz. go to hell don’t bark here you was said before prdp realesed that if prdp realesed same day of HNY it 100% cross the first day collection now u giving lots of excuses like indicine who completely favouring salman where were u guys whene masala south action chartbuster songs same action geren given by salman ???? that time u r not saying that gern masala blah blah and now you both insulting legend like suraj barjatya to take away credit from him in public reaction there were lots of senior people who said that they r huge fan of suraj barjatya style and watching movie just for him
hrithik so it’s clear prdp has more screen with increasing ticket price with favorable condition of family audience diwali failed to beat one year old record of HNY accept it or go to helll
Bhai kis ne diya negative review maine to nahi suna …. Srk fans also know it easily beat happy new year…. Raja bhayya and prem dilwale steal hearts
Fake
Indian Cinema is suffering from stardom..Good movies not earning and crap movies getting good collection.One thing is clear India mein log film dekhne ke nahi hero dekhne ke paise dete hain.
@challa bro that was genuine figure not fake and in this time say one family movie who got bumper opening in last 10years not a single one and despite any famous heroine salman single handedly beaten all records this shows the sheer starpower even jthj which had a list heroines and yash chopra,s last movie and his demise buzz despite of all this it had not great opening now Accept like whole world is Salman is biggest star of the country or else go and sleep
That’s why Aamir rocks! hardly gives a crap and his imdb ratings are very high. These other two Khans are lucky they have obedient loyal fan bases. Though srk is still more choosy than Salman. I just hope he ain’t going the same way Joker kumar is going,where quantity surpasses quality when the cheez$$$ are at stake., he releases more movies than the other khans. Had a younger and more talented actor than Salman lets Say Ranveer or Eemran done this movie would have gone the same way Bombay Velvet went.
crap wale will not even cross 20 cr opening. mark my words. srk is nothing in front of aamir and sallu.
@hrithik,forgot nischay(20 lakhs),yeh majhdar(30 lakhs),marigold,salaam e ishq,mamk,yuvraj and countless disasters and happy news for you recently your boi increased salman’s disaster and declared KING KHAN as NO.1 BLOCKBUSTER STAR EVER.AND BIGGEST MEGASTAR OF LAST 2 DECADE.
I know you can’t believe neither @indicine nor boi.com,na ghare ka na chat ka,now say too much fun,ROFL.leave doublestandard and accept KING KHAN IS THE BIGGEST MEGA CROWD PULLER OF THE COUNTRY.KING KHAN ROCKS and salman dams shocks,prdp failed to beat HNY!!!!!TRUTH BITES hard.
Why you’re forcing @indicine when I can give the information
prdp—-so called sooraj-salman combo+4500 screen+mixed wom+higher ticket price
failed to beat
HNY—-KING SRK+tmk fame Farah+4200 screen+negative wom+lesser ticket price
Proved
BADSHAH KHAN AKA KING DR.SRK IS THE ALL TIME SUPREME MEGA CROWD PULLER AS UNDISPUTED KING OF BOLLYWOOD.
ha ha ha ha,now cry hard baby.and still you’re not agreeing a,go to boi and comment there,ROFL.
@AKB don’t worry Monday se pura India Bhai ki magnum opus revital khayo ki triple lega….
i just saw the PRDP honestly THE worst movie i have ever seen………akir salman ye picture banaya kyu….i went to movie by blindly trusting tharan adarsh…..but he cheated me…..paid review.
Lol really genre does not matter? Tell him to do a ZNMD Drishyam MNIK OUATIM Chak De india, 3 idiots ,Vaastav or Jodha Akbar . He is just a cartoon. Animated into a human being but his acting is always like that of a Robot. You don’t put him in class of Aamir Sir Srk Sir Ajay Sir Hritik Roshan. These are universally talented actors just a pity fan zones and loyal audience are strongly with him always that’s India for you ,our audience ain’t so much dynamic and time trending like the Hollywood. Honest Truth.
Do you call this a movie? It’s more of a Long TV serial. Better watch Jamaii raja or crime patrol on satellite for 2hrs 39 mins than to watch this movie if you have not. Really guys,except a die hard Salman fan this movie makes no sense. All the characters in this movie can’t act!! Srk Akki Ajay would have at least strengthen the wom of this movie a little more or boost its imdb rating but please not Salman.
@indicine, whatever you will post rubbish and try to overhype Salman, the eternal truth will never change that aamir is biggest megastar of Indian cinema in India and overseas everywhere. He is out of reach for srk and Salman. Srk and Salman have had lot more advantages than aamir and aamir has taken many risks still he reigns supreme with 4 ATHGs and 4 ATBBs in last 7 years only. Salman’s great best WOM loved movie BB failed to break aamir’s not so great movie PK. That’s enough to prove who is real megastar. Only megastar aamir Kahn rules. No one is close yo him. Next year dangal will shatter all opening day, weekend, week and finally life time records, and create 400 Cr club.
Guy, stop fighting and arguing everyday..!!
Why does it matter if a movie earns 40 cr or 45 cr or whatever it is.
It’s not like it’s coming into your pocket.
If the movie is good it’s bound to do good and if it’s bad then kisike baap mein taakat nahi ki ushe hit karvaye.
Stop with all this fighting and start deciding for youself.
If the movie interests you, go and watch it. If not, simply stay home and move on with your life.
P.S I am interested in the movie and will be watching it with friends and family tonight. :)
Indicine either you are copying or the below site is copying your material .Both have same content. I have seen similar content in other articles also. Please checkhttp://www.moviesdoctor.com/news/some-interesting-facts-about-prpd-box-office-collection/
@Naresh, we never copy any content from any website. The only ‘copied’ content that goes on our site is from IANS (Indo-Asian News Service) and we are official subscribers to their news service. They do not cover box office articles. Lot of other sites copy our tables and BO analysis, but never heard of this site called Movies Doctors.
I would cover my face with shame if I were akshay fan. Shame on Flopkumar movies this year . What a bad stats!!
Now everybody agree that salman khan is superior than (Manipulated) shahrukh khan.
shocking news….. salman fan named dharmendra has done a suicide in indore as he dint get a ticket of prdp…..u can read this at NEWS.18 in hindi…..may his soul be rest in peace
