 Box Office Prediction For PREM RATAN DHAN PAYO

There are few iconic director - actor pairs and Salman - Sooraj pair is one of them. They delivered monstrous hits like ''Maine Pyar Kiya'' and ''Hum Aapke Hain Kaun''. Now they are back after 17 years with PRDP which also has Sonam Kapoor, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Armaan Kohli, Anupam Kher, Swara Bhaskar and Deepak Dobariyal. Film is produced by Rajshri Films and Fox Star.

Film is only Bollywood release this Diwali so it will get huge weekend without any doubt. Though it has competition in south from films starring Kamal Haasan and Ajith in addition to few big film sin other regional languages. But we have seen in case of ''Bajrangi Bhaijaan'' that it made record breaking numbers despite mammoth success of ''Baahubali''.

Film has hit music, larger than life set, super star leading man and good director though presence of Sonam Kapoor hampers its chances to an extent and only doubt a certain section of audience will have about the appeal and relevance of film in modern times.

Film will release in 4500 plus screens and its releasing on Thursday to take advantage of Diwali festivities. Film will open with huge numbers of around 38 cr nett and if it manages to get good reviews then good weekend of around 140 cr nett is guaranteed. Film will heavily depend on acceptance in urban centers and if that goes well then it has potential to attain All Time Blockbuster status.
