Sultan has collected Rs 36.54 crore on its opening day at the box office, as per official figures released by Yash Raj Films. The film was extraordinary at multiplexes, with multiplex chains recording the single highest day collections of all time, but it looks like the ‘Pre Eid’ factor has affected single-screen business, especially at muslim-dominated areas.
Sultan has recorded the 3rd highest opening day collections of all time, behind Happy New Year and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. The first day collections are at around the same level as Dhoom 3, which released on a non-holiday.
IndicineFBO: We predicted Rs 38.5 crore as the first day collections of Sultan (Read our prediction article). The film has collected Rs 36.54 crore. The difference between our prediction and the actual collection is just 5% making it one of our most accurate predictions this year.

Now non-actor fans are left with only one saving grace – chant as much as possible about the ‘so called ‘ manipulated figures of HNY.
Since 2014, they are waiting in the hope that non-actor will acquire that record but every time they are left with nothing other than disappointment.
Million dollar question is, will non-actor ever cross that figure?
Yes he will but after couple of years when average ticket prices will rise up to 600 Rs/ticket.
300 cr My foot
Once again indicine prediction and early prediction went miserably wrong.
I think indicine and all other trade including tv channels all were overhyping d movie by stating dat it crossed more den 40cr in pre-eid bt reality s dat film got d holiday advantage ystrdae n 2dae also its getting holiday advantage.
Film s getting d benefits of holiday confusion orels it ld ve crossed 25-28cr on its opening dae.
Now bhai must be feeling like a raped woman.. Don’t be so upset bhai..
For Records concerning only EId 2013 and Eid 2015 was better.Though its 36 cr on day 1 its not issue but Sultan is not that level of Bajrangi Bhaijaan but its no 2 movie of salman this decade totally entertaining .It will definitely collect 165cr in weekend and 9 day week will be 230cr which will br humongous.
Any ways Dhoom 3 is in danger SULTAN will definitely 3rd heighest grossing indian film after next 15 days all the best team sultan

First of all no execuses 6th and 7 th July declared holidays,highest screen count,hiked ticket price,overhyped by trade analysts,media,favorable paid reviews from critics,no competition and still 36 CR’s,a biletdowletdown must have collected45 CR’s at least to prove salman’s megastardom and bhai fans quote boxofficeindia figures according to their convenience ,then according to boi prdp has collected 190 CR’s and officially it is 206 CR’s that’s a manipulation of 16 CR’s,ett collected as per boi 183 CR’s but officially 198 CR’s difference of 15 CR’s,kick boi figures 215 CR’s and official 233 CR’s difference 18 CR’s,so it is advisable to stick to official figures as there is no proper tracking agency in India as in west.The bottom line is hny first day is 44.97 CR’s and sultan 36.54 CR’s that too on Eid and tdy the collections have fallen by 40 percent,bhai fans have simply loved the movie but amongst the neutral audience the response is mixed especially regarding the second half which reminds one of brothers,maybe the film may crosss 250 CR’s due to holidays but it hasn’t broken any opening day record ,its the fourth highest opening behind hny,prdp,dhoom3
Ha Ha!!! Everyone was saying it crossed 40cr. by evening. Ghanta record break karoge. Ab jake burnool lagao. SRK Rules.

Today they have lowered the expectations and Sultan will surpass all …. A day before Eid is a negative as people abstain from watching movies …. And kudos and credit to producer and star for reporting collections at actuals unlike a certain 44.97cr collection ….results will be for all to see as Sultan will overtake Dhoom 3 and the fake collections movies fold with in 200c
Movie is carrying mixed word of mouth, lifetime will be 220 croreish. Verdict will be Hit only.

285 to 310cr definitely onn 7
Salmania coming to an end, he is 50+, people don’t want uncles to play young roles. Time to do character roles uncle.
Were r bhaitards, shouting 50 crore business?
Today will also be less than 40 crore, mark my words.
Indicine has been blatantly on the over promotion drive for sultan since one month with this result what a shame ,ett collected 32_CR’s on pre eid 4 yrs back so no excuses ,actually 6th July holiday in several parts ,thefilm has got the advantage of two extra holidays it should have netted at least 45 CR’s on wed due to so much hype
indicine should take trade figures,even all we know producer figure is always manipulated by hr and srk.sultan should be considered as a non holiday release because wednesday is partial holiday for what?
ram navmi was a holiday all over india.fan collected 19 cr .sultan non holiday and pre eid still 36.54 cr.

@indicine : Sir ji, with a ‘complete’ holiday (as July 6 was a ‘partial’ holiday) Sultana was eying for a 50+crCR opening.
Do you still stick to that? :D
Jokes apart, you guys are the best, there is not a second thought about that. It was my love for your website that pulled me back even after 1.5-2 years.
But you Can’t be right all the time. Take it as criticism- I honestly felt you went over the top praising Salman Khan and Sultan. May be, few commercial aspects of your website made you to do so, but since last week or so you created such a havoc as though Bollywood is Salman and Salman is Bollywood. At many instances you seem to be in hurry to praise Salman and Sultan without checking your facts.
Latest one in that fleet is the absolutely rubbish and illogical prediction that it would have collected 50 CR on a ‘holiday’.
I mean everything can’t work as per your estimation. At times, your estimates can fail and so will the estimates of other trade analysts. You could have waited for the official collections before making such statement considering the credibility of your website, but NO. You wanted to prove that you were the biggest patron of Salman and Sultan and so you came with such an immature statement.
Any way, I know you will be least bothered and will take my comment as a hatred comment towards Salman, but you need to introspect.
Thank you!
Not cross jungle book life time,mark mu words.Yesterday i predict a 35 Crore opening,now thats come true.
@real HRITHIK
Dear God where were you dude…?
Long time but glad to see you back in n amongst the frontline with me n Tiger fighting those aliens/ jokers n ofcoz lungiwales…!
Delighted to see HNY standing tall in the list, way ahead of its contemporaries.
That speaks everything about stardom and Fan following.
ha ha ha ha bhaitards said sultan on EID DAY(NATIONAL HOLIDAY PERMITTED IN INDIAN GOVT. AND ALL OVER IN WORLD) will do more than twice of FAN’S OPENING.now what happened bhaitards?????now you have shown your bhai’s real aukat.
MEGASTAR KING SRK will always remain THE BIGGEST MEGA CROWD PULLER an dsalman can’t I repeat never ever can pull crowd like INDIA’S BIGGEST CROWD PULLING MEGASTAR KING SRK.
NOW WE REAL INDIANS SHOULD boycott the movie for the prestige of THE WOMEN of our country as well as the world and to make the movie phultan a disaster from today onwards so that next time HE’LL not dare to insult any WOMEN.and from Monday onwards this mahacrap of millennium will surely lost it’s existence.
BE A REAL INDIAN.and boycott sultan.
JAI HIND.
Irony for DAT top movie is only its opening collections..otherwise its lifetime is a disgrace for so called sabse badawala superstar
According to me it’s worst collection..Even with eid festival it only collected 36 cr.. So many non actor Fans Expected 45 cr ( LOL ) Salman is Never come to Clase the superstardom of SRK
Today is EID holiday – MY prediction – 32 cr.. But anything less than 45 cr is Dissappointed..
MY challenger to all-new Whenever Sultan collect More than 40 cr today.. Then I will not comment in indicine about 1 Month… I will never lost any challenge
#Finger crossed
#Finger crossed
#Fasal kerala
4350 screens, all time high ticket price, holiday period, favourable genre – What else you need Mr megastar to break the records of HNY?
i want sultan to cross 35 cr on eid day.32 + on friday ,30+ on saturday and sunday.if this was nt happened then banjarangi bhaijaan record will nt be broken.5 day weekend should cross 160 cr to cross 300 cr lyftime
PS
Yes Eid Mubarak to the peace loving muslims out there which is about 99% n also to those anti Muslim folk like ‘mohit’, ‘kSHITij’ n ‘Roshan jr’ to name afew…!
Why am I wishing them an Eid Mubarak??? Well its just bcoz I wouldnt want them to feel discriminated against during Eid considering they believe we live in a free democratic nation so making them feeling special during Eid may lessen their black hearts n ill will towards muslims…!
Everyone wish them an Eid Mubarak n make them feel special
@2:59pm
Fair enough but how did Laal Mirchi track such data in Diwali 2014 n in record tome too…?
Nice to know YRF got a proper fiunctioning calculator to total up their numbers properly n not some toy store malfunctioned jadoo kalkulator…!
Srk and akki fan can you guys achieve 36cr on pre eid partial holiday??? Also i am happy that YRF didn’t LIE like chilly calculator and Rakesh Roshan calculator.
