Salman Khan reigns supreme at the box office yet again as Sultan made history on its opening day at the box office, recording one of the highest single day collections in the history of the Hindi film industry. As per early estimates, the film has collected Rs 41-42 crore on Day 1.
Wednesday was a working day in several parts of the country and holiday in a few others. It was also the day before Eid, so business was affected at a few circuits. The impact of ‘Pre-Eid’ isn’t huge for other films, but for a Salman Khan starrer, the dent is quite significant.
Factors aside, the film would have probably collected around Rs 47-48 crore on a big national holiday like Diwali or Independence Day, with an outside chance of even becoming the first film to cross the 50 crore mark. In fact, Sultan would have probably achieved a near 50 crore total if it released on Eid holiday.

Yash Raj Films’ has officially confirmed that Sultan has released on 4352 screens, making it the widest ever release for a Hindi film in India. The film has performed well across the country too, from east to west, north to south.. every centre was strong, barring a few muslim-dominated areas.
Sultan has already become the 8th highest grosser of the year on its first day. The Ali Abbas Zafar directed film has collected more than the lifetime business of films like Wazir, Ghayal Once Again, Azhar, Kya Kool Hai Hum 3, Jai Gangaajal, Rocky Handsome – all trounced on Day 1 itself.
The next two days promise to be equally exciting as the muslim section of the audience, who are now used to watching Salman films during this period of the year, come out in huge numbers on the Eid holiday and the day after Eid. Films like Ki and Ka, Udta Punjab, Kapoor & Sons and Neerja will be left behind on Day 2. There is also a chance for Sultan to beat FAN in 2 days flat. For this to happen, the film will have to perform on a high level on Thursday too and the trend will also give a more clearer picture on the word-of-mouth.
Stay tuned to Indicine for the latest updates on Sultan.
“There is also a chance for Sultan to beat FAN in 2 days flat. “..hahahaha kya ijjat reh gayi SRK ki. BHAI ki movie ne sirf 2 dino me FAN ke total collection ko piche chod diya. feeling bad for king srk…oh sorry, he’s not a king anymore, he is just a chota mota sevak of the real king -Sallu bhai.
In trade figure as per boi prdp is highest opening and sultan may beat that
Salman rocks
eid day – 45 plus
Friday(day after eid)- 38 plus
day after eid is also good for business
SO WEEKEND WILL BE around 120-125 crore .wow
WOW THAT IS AWESOME
Go any website public review any channel public reviews or go youtube every public reaction is big posiive for sultan
But still hater like xzone , sss are making negative here that sultan got negative response
Hater Continues burn
Wow
The confusion of EID – whether it falls on wednesday and thursday seems to be blessing in disguise for SULTAN. I thought if EID fell on thursday – it might affect the opening collection but 41-42 crores opening on partial holiday – pre-eid that speaks volume of SALMAN’s stardom and crowd pulling capabilities.
Impressive
Salman hater spl xzone , sss and fesal they always put comment after srk trailer or movie release – wow what a movie or trailee what a performance but when srk movie not get hgty they make excuse with many foolish comments

@indicine Wat do yu think??
@king Khan SRK which world are you living in, it has already pass FAN by a mile, so stop making yourself look like a effing idiot you dumb moron. Even Akshay busted the but of the so call king.
In 2 days – SRK real awkat
Omg every comment is Highly rated comment. thanku indicine ur site rocks as always ??
1 time watch film. Salman n anushka in top form but story n direction let down. Above average
Blockbuster Opening Of the Year…
Sultan rocks Akki and srk Fan’s shock?????????
Where does SRK get these effing idiotic fans from. Half of them don’t even go to the cinema to watch his films. They buy the cheap pirate DVD and then come on site pretending to have seen the film at cinema. Bloody hypocrites. And who the hell they think they are telling the families what to do. These folks cannot wait for a Salman movie.
As for Raees who wants to go see a film of drunks, whores, alcoholics etc just walk down the streets of Mumbai. That’s what you should tell families not to go see.
I dnt knw why,bt wen i read Shahrukh khan’s fans comments,i really feel dey r dumb and stupids
wel wat can i say abt sultan,its going to make history again for sure
the second half of the movie is a big letdown impact the whole movie is.which is completely copy paste of brothers.
Boycott phultan.RESPECT WOMEN LIKE A REAL INDIAN.
come on Indian let’s make together phultan from Saturday itself by making the collection below 30cr.
So that from Monday onwards the rejection will be much more faster.as this is the mahacrap of the millennium.
No story,c grade songs and non acting with gunday legend direction.still if you wan to waste your money then it’s completely your wish.
Hmmm impressive collections…!
But once the official figures are out, we will have to see if HNY collections are surpassed or non-actor’s chase (to outshine a “2 years” old record) will still continue.
And I am not really interested in “If”, “Else” and “But”, because same “If’s” and “But’s” were not accepted either by non-actor fans or indicine at the time of Dilwale/FAN. So why all that now?
It’s like ‘if’ Congress will get 40% of total votes, Rahul Gandhi will become PM or ‘If’ India will produce 11 top notch players then one day we will lift the FIFA world cup or ‘If’ FAN would have released on a holiday weekend , it would not have been flopped on B.O. and would have collected at least 150 cr (considering the dark plot of the picture else collections would have been more had it equipped with some more masala/songs).
So there is no end of these “Ifs” and “Buts”.
So there is no point of this statement @Indicine :
Factors aside, the film would have probably collected around Rs 47-48 crore on a big national holiday like Diwali or Independence Day, with an outside chance of even becoming the first film to cross the 50 crore mark. In fact, Sultan would have probably achieved a near 50 crore total ‘IF’ it released on Eid holiday.

It’s not for you indicine as you are talking particularly about “Sultana” and not about non-actor but it is for the minions of non-actor Khan.
Wasn’t non-actor given the Dilwali Holiday?
What extra-ordinary did he do with that? He couldn’t even surpass the collections of a one year old movie with more number of screens and increased ticket price.
And then there is a propaganda being spread both by indicine and non-actor fans about “Pre-Eid”.
Does that really matter when there is a holiday been already declared in most parts of the country.
“Pre-Eid” is being hyped as though we are talking about the collections in Pakistan (where Muslims are in majority).
Dude, we are talking about a country where Muslims constitute barely 15-20% of total population and on top of that they are divided into three categories :
Category 1: Those who are extremely religious (they perform the prayers five time in a day and follow all the rituals). For them, watching movies and listening music is kind of sin and thus they abstain from all these things.
Category 2 : They are religious but at the same time, full of life. They follow few of the customs but at the same time, they do watch movies/listen to music etc. It’s not a sin for them.
Category 3 : These are the modern youths mostly born and brought up in cosmopolitans. They just carry the Muslim surname, other than that, they are really not bothered about many of the customs and they do watch the movies in the month of Ramdan.
So, in actual, it’s category 2 which , for an instance, refrain to watch a movie in Ramdan period.
Thus if you see , the ‘actual’ impact of so called “Pre-Eid” period is almost negligible on the collections.

Again a farcical analogy. HNY 3 days collections nearly equaled the collections of Flop Ho (that too, when Flop Ho was a masala flick and south remake) way back in 2014.
And now you are comparing the collections of a songless non-holiday flick with a masala flick released on Eid.
Until all the aspects are mentioned , such analogies don’t stand a chance for discussion.
OMG!!! Great and Grand news:- Great Grand Masti will release on 15th july!!!! Bang on!! ????
every news is awesome! Bhaiaji ki phatt rahi hai. GGM is coming to make you wet! ?
@Chuhe My official JACK 1:20 am : Similarly , HNY’s (a crap according to few Bhojpuri auto-drivers) 3 days collections were almost equal to the lifetime collections of Flop Ho (south remake and a great movie with social message according to the same auto-drivers).
@1:24 am : HNY’s opening day >>> Eid release (Kick) opening day + Flop Ho Opening day
Difference between mega-stardom and tiny stardom.
@Potash and many others who are laughing at this sentence “There is also a chance for Sultan to beat FAN in 2 days flat”, it’s official now that entire indicine team is indulged in patronizing and buttering a particular fanbase so more such statements are expected to be there on the cards.
Coming to the essence of this statement, HNY with less number of screens and less ticket price, thrashed the lifetime collections of Flop Ho (which was a masala flick unlike FAN) in three odd days.
Hope indicine will soon do an article on that.
first 50 crore is bahubali not crapy
42 crores on a partial holiday??? Sultan rocks big time. Another 40 crores plus on the card today.
