Salman Khan's Bodyguard in which he stars opposite Kareena Kapoor has created box office records for this Eid release too.
While everyone expected the movie to create a record, the movie made huge box office collection beyond everyone’s thoughts.
The movie though was dull and boring the opening day collection prove the film to be a huge hit. The film, which opened on Eid even though on a Wednesday, and the next day also to be a Holiday (Vinayaka Chaturthi), ran to packed houses in the country, with trade analysts predicting the collections to be in the range of `18-20 crore.
Taran Adarsh, a trade analyst said to media, "Salman is something else now. I think the movie has earned almost `20 crore on day one and over the weekend, it will cross `85-90 crore."
Komal Nahta said, "In Dubai, the movie opened on Tuesday because that's when Eid was celebrated. While "Dabangg" had opened with 7 lakh dirhams (`87 lakh), "Bodyguard" made 11 lakh dirhams (`1.36 crore). In London, the movie opened with a collection of 60,000 pounds (`44.4 lakh) on Tuesday, which too is unheard of. It has broken all previous records for any Bollywood film."
Deepa Menon, vice president, corporate communications for PVR Cinemas said, "The movie saw an excellent opening in Delhi-NCR, ending the day with nearly 95% occupancy, which is quite phenomenal. This definitely is one of the biggest openings on day one that we've seen."
