PREM RATAN DHAN PAYO Crosses 100 Cr Nett Today
Diwali is great time for films to release as audience is in festive mood and is waiting for big Diwali releases. This year Salman Khan starrer Sooraj Barjatya film 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo' lit up box office on auspicious occasion of Diwali. Film brings back blockbuster pair of actor - director after 17 years and also smiles on faces of trade and exhibitors.
PRDP released in 4300 screens in India and 780 screens in overseas market. With 2 hour 50 minutes run time, it did lose some amount of edge but that has been recovered by super stardom of lead actor and release date. Film opened to fab response all over yesterday and as we predicted, film collected huge 40.35 cr nett on day one in Hindi and 41 cr nett all India including Tamil & Telugu which is highest opening day of 2015 and 2nd highest ever.
Film collected huge numbers all over and it created new circuit records in 7 circuits and left behind only in West and south on day one. But as we predicted in our report on Friday morning that it has dropped by 23%. Film collected 31.05 cr nett on day two which was a very good performance. Film dropped by 25% plus in morning/noon shows but again grew today in evening shows. Film collected 30.07 cr nett on day three which was solid trending that too despite holiday on day one.
Today again film has taken a solid start and it seems that it will grow by 12-15% today over yesterday. Film should collect around 33 - 34 cr nett today and that means film will cross 135 cr nett extended weekend which is a huge total.
Film has three day total of 101.47 cr nett which is fantastic with additional 1.60 cr nett from Tamil/Telugu versions. Film added superb 3.87 million $ (25.58 cr) in overseas in two days. After such opening now the target is highest week one ever (185 cr nett). Overall another big blockbuster on the cards and this might go all the way to break all the records if it manages to hold on Monday.
