It’s a case of our ‘early estimates’ taking the sheen away from the real achievement of Sultan on Day 1. The film was phenomenal on its opening day at the box office, even though it was ‘Pre-Eid’ and Wednesday wasn’t a full-fledged national holiday either.
FAN vs Sultan isn’t a fair comparison, because a more commercial Shah Rukh Khan film would’ve been closer. After all, Dilwale even with a clash, managed to collect 21 crore on its opening day.
However, Sultan has nearly doubled the collections of FAN and more than doubled the collections of a franchise film like ‘Housefull 3’. In short, there is no comparison – Sultan is way ahead of every other film this year and has collected more than the lifetime collections of several medium budget films on its first day itself.
Sultan is also the sole ‘bumper’ opener of 2016. Only ‘Baaghi’ and a few other Hollywood film have managed ‘excellent’ opening, the rest were good or under.

FAN vs Sultana is not a fair comparison but comparison of Flop Ho vs Kick vs HNY is fair.
HNY opening>>> (Flop Ho+ Kick) opening
which partial holiday was there in wednesday ,can u name that holiday?if u are thinking eid then what is thursday bcoz today is eid.i already known by tuesday late night that opening record will be missed by 2 or 3 crore margin .but accept the fact that sultan will benefit in lyftime by releasing in pre eid becoz of 5 day weekend means 150cr on the card till 5 day of weekend.
@sunny alkoholik:
Exactly dude, Ajay Devgan’s solo movie Singham returns collected 32cr on independence day. But our biggest Megastar Akki’s multistarer brothers collected 20cr on the same…hahaha.
And Tiger Shroff’s Baghi has 2x more footfalls than Airlift… LOL.
@aisha
Brothers 2nd day had independence day holiday still it did 22cr with negative reviews… !!!! Not even half of ur aj SR …????
Go girl learn some maths…!!!
As far as hf3 is concerned it was a failure in single screens that is why it underperformed big time…!!!
@romance:
Despite being an another ‘brothers’ Sultan gonna collect 3 times more than duniya ka sabse superstar’s content rich billu2. That’s the prowess of MEGASTAR Bhai!
@Aisha independence was on 2nd for brothers…!
2nd thing you also said sultan will cross housefull 3 lifetime collection in 3 days,but now it’s looking impossible . Look at your Stupid analysis too…!
3rd thing who told you airlift is akshay best movie? even if it is than it did 124 (BOI) nd your best movie of ajay drishym with 8.9 on imdb did only 62 (BOI) which is half of airlift ? first look at aukat of your actor which is half of Akshay…
Why unnecessary you want your ajay to look even more tiny star?
62 cr collection of ajay best imdb movie.. even neerja did 72 with similar WOM & RATINGS…shameful!
Bottom line of discussion is, from the very beginning SRK commands an unprecedented Fan following and opening of his recent movies confirms the same (whether it is holiday, non-holiday, clash , no clash ,he never disappoints in terms of opening).
At the same time, I have no shame accepting that his movies are not collecting much as far as lifetime is concerned, not because his less stardom but there are multiple reasons associated with it – Less universal script, clashes, neutral audiences are slowly drifting away etc.
He just needs a good script with universal acceptance and you see how he puts big number on box-office.
The best example is 2013. CE was universally accepted and though it faced competition from sixth day onwards, it went on to be the highest grosser of all time.
@Tiger 7.26
Brothers never collected 20 on its opening day. It collected 32/2 =16. 16-0.5 =15.5crs!!
@aisha Akki’s career best according to you collected close to 130cr on the strength of multiplexes only … now just imagine if it was supported equally by single screens
what would have been it’s collections..!!
And by the way Ajay’s career best Drishyam couldn’t even collect 75+ but tiger’s second movie collected 77 now what say????
Ajay best movie – 62
Sonam best movie – 72…??@AISHA go hide yourself from this article now ?
I warn you all jokertards….Chustam is releasing in next couple of days. If you all continue blabbering nonsenses on Bhai & SULTAN then #indicine’s comment section will become hell for you as well as your 80cr club’s king.
@Chuhe : Keep chanting the mantra of inflation. Perhaps that’s the only way you can get rid of the shame which your beloved bhaijan has imposed on you all
Biggest megastar of this country is struggling to cross 37 CR on a national holiday with so many favourable factors associated with it.
BIG SHAME….!!!!!!
So what , if sultan break HNY opening day collection record (acc to boi figure) then it is not a great achievement .as Sultan released almost after 2 years with more number of screens and hiked ticket prices.Actually it collects below expectations on 1st day.and sultan vs Fan comparison is meaningless as fan is niche genre movie with no entertainment but still collects 19 crore on opening day.so which actor is megastar and who is ‘tiny star’ ?

Gud raees didnt relese.. Or els.. Bachi hui chaddi bhi nikal jati.. :p
When Akshay kumars 2 biggest fans like @me @babaji didn’t liked Airlift much than how can you even call it best movie of Akshay? A niche movie like airlift did 128 ,it shows Akshays loyal fan Base for Content movies now…!
You r a piece of shit @Aisha
Despite being a crap (acc to Loongiwalas) SULTAN gonna thrash billu 2 within 2/3 days and excusewale within 5 days. Just imagine if its content would have been RICH just like billu 2 then what would be the result!!!
SRK FANS HAVE ONLY OPENING OF HNY TO DOWNGRADE SALMAN.THATS ALL.REALITY IS NOW SRK IS NO COMPARISON TO SALMAN.HE RAN AWAY OF CLASH AND FAN COLLECTING LEAS THEN 100 ARE PROOF OF THAT.INDICINE PLZ TELL ALL THAT AT PRESENT SALMAN HAS NO COMPARISON
Name a star who has not given an all time highest grosser since decades but still has privilege to called as a megastar – 302 marks
Name a star who has been chasing the opening day collections of a tiny star’s movie since last two years (moreover that tiny star is supposed be finish and he was in his bad phase when he gave an earth shattering opening) but still called as a megastar – 377 marks
Name a star “who books all the festive weekends like a greedy dog in the fear of losing his stardom” and still termed as a megastar – 420 marks
This is our incredible India. 46 years old Rahul Gandhi is termed as ‘Youth’ and a 2009 born star is termed as megastar.

Our queen is behind hritik & prabhas in box office collection then who the hell made him king a regional star prabhas is ahead of him. Hritik made debut after 10 years & he is ahead of our Maya memsab.
Dear haklutards let srk beat hritik & prabhas then he will join Salman & Amir . Never ever compare Maya with megastar it’s a shame for megastar
If non-actor is a megastar then I’m Satya Nadela/ Sundar Pichai and Rahul baba is most capable of running our country.
@spamzone:
Similarly don2+ jthj opening<<<<<ETT opening day.
Hny+ billu 2 opening day<<<<<PRDP opening day.
Billu2+billu2 opening day~=~ SULTAN opening day.
Ha ha ha ha on EID DAY,salman failed for the 3rd time to fail to beat INDIA’S BIGGEST CROWD PULLING MEGASTAR KING SRK’S HNY OPENING.what more I need to tell,this is more than enough to compare salman’s recordless stardom with THE MEGASTARDOM of the KING OF BOLLYWOOD.
@tiger-the real chuha,yeah everybody knew how soorajji and salamn inflated occupancy figure to bring HNY down.except salman fans all fanbase HAS trust in HNY collection.if you don’t believe then that’s your problem,rofl.
And you also said definitely phultan will do more than double of FAN’S collection(19CR) but phultan failed to achieve that on BIG HOLIDAY EID+MASALA GENRE+ANUSHKA+YRF+Randeep hooda+big entertainment getting advantages which non of it FAN got that also affected by IPL season badly.
That’s THE BIGGEST STARDOM OF KING SRK ,that salman will struggle to surpass till the end of his career,rofl.
@Deadpool.. 22 cr?? and why brothers 2nd day not opening day?
Bhaiya Singham returns 2nd day collection was higher than any of akki movie till date!! Get that straight boy!!
Get this straight now… H3 day 1 is d only above 20 movie of akki. Zip! That’s it no more arguments.. Am taking a break to enjoy my Eid… Cheers
Sultan missed breaking the all time record of Prem Ratan Dhan Payo by around 2.75 crore and the big difference was in Gujarat / Saurashtra and UP where both of these sectors were 1.50 crore nett apprx each down on Prem Ratan Dhan Payo.
There were also gaps in Rajasthan, CP Berar and CI but these were more than compensated by South and West Bengal but that shortfall in Gujarat and UP proved too much. Gujarat, UP, Rajasthan, CP Berar and CI all behaved as Pre Eid and did not get the benefit the national holiday like a Punjab, Delhi city or Mysore.
The territorial comparisons of both films are as follows and the gaps in Mumbai and Delhi / UP are because of Gujarat / Saurashtra in Mumbai and UP in Delhi /UP.
Mumbai
Sultan – 11,45,00,000
Prem Ratan Dhan Payo – 14,21,00,000 (ALL TIME RECORD)
Delhi / UP
Sultan – 5,87,00,000
Prem Ratan Dhan Payo – 7,52,00,000 (ALL TIME RECORD)
East Punjab
Sultan – 4,00,00,000 (ALL TIME RECORD)
Prem Ratan Dhan Payo – 3,97,00,000
Rajasthan
Sultan – 2,15,00,000

ALL INDIA
Sultan – 36,59,00,000
Prem Ratan Dhan Payo – 39,32,00,000 (ALL TIME RECORD)
Sultan managed to set three opening day all time records in East Punjab, Mysore and Odisha. Prem Ratan Dhan Payo had set eight opening day records but two of those have now been broken by Sultan. The 40 crore nett mark is looking a tough nut to crack though if Eid had fallen on Wednesday as expected earlier, Sultan would have cracked it.
@Indicine what about today’s box office scenario?
Bhai’s pre Eid/Ramdan release SULTAN has collected almost double of duniya ka sabse bada superstar’s Ram navami holiday release billu2’s opening day collections. But Loongiwalas are trying make fun on SULTAN rather feeling shame!!… LOL.
dear indicine…why you want sultan collection to look better… ? sultans performance was way below of trades expectation, it was not pat with the so called craze for the movie, collection didnt justified the widest release and ticket prize..
if the movie has not done good, then its okay… it happens with every star.. but just dont give some feel good stats…
i still believe its bad movie.. illogical and boring without any story..
Sultan BO Collection:
1st Day – ?36.54cr (Actual)
2nd Day – ?45cr
3rd Day – ?31cr
4th Day – ?33cr
5th Day – ?38cr
Total:- ?183.54
